Coco Leaf is a gem, located in Dorchester's Field Corner neighborhood, on Dorchester Ave. They have been around for years now and I swing by here for a mango passionfruit smoothie every now and then. For $7 a smoothie, I used to think it was extremely pricey... but nowadays most places sell their drinks for around this price. The mango passionfruit smoothie from here is worth getting though. I get it every time and am never disappointed. I have noticed that the cup sizes have gotten smaller but it is what it is.
Didn't realize the owners changed to akoko by coco leaf but i usually just come thru here for occasional smoothie! Mango passion, the space looked a bit dark when walking in, the front is well lit during the day with natural sunlight. The employees were super nice, they have clover system and checkout is easy. We got our drinks in a few minutes and it was a refreshing drink for a warm day. A tad on the sweeter side for me but still good overall! They also have Viet che drinks which i may look to try next time in. Will be back again when around fields corner.
Very cute and aesthetic boba shop with lots of photo ops! There's a good amount of seating inside. They have quite a menu, from Vietnamese dessert to milk tea to food. I ordered the Strawberry Matcha Milk at less sweet. Even at less sweet, the drink was still pretty sweet. I think most of the sweetness came from the strawberry sauce/puree. The strawberry was a little overpowering, and I couldn't really taste the matcha. Overall, this drink was okay. My cousin got the Oolong Milk Tea at less sweet and with boba, and I got to try a little bit of it. This drink was really good. The tea flavor was strong, which I liked, and the boba had a good texture. It was perfectly soft and chewy. Service was good. I came with my mom, cousin, and aunties, so we ordered several drinks. Staff was patient and quick with our order.
This establishment needs a deep clean/to take more precautions. I came in and the first thing I saw was fruit flies flying IN their DISPLAY case which they take out and give to customers. Those are clear pictures of the fruit flies on their Pandan mochi cakes. I messaged the business about this and all they said was thanks they'll remind their workers. What about throwing the stuff away? I bought one of their banh bo nuong and I came home, opened the lid, and saw a hair on it. DISGUSTING. Would not recommend.
One of my favorite spots since high school. I love the desserts, teas and especially the turkey sandwich.
I love che and this is pretty top tier, I inhaled mine in ~5 mins. Lots of different topping options with so many different textures! Favorites were the chewy jellies and mung bean, although they kinda skimp on the shredded young coconut. Inside is pretty cute, they got a fountain with a lot of plants and a stone Buddha statue thing in it.
Located at Field's Corner near its competitor, Gongcha, Coco Leaf offers chè, milk teas, smoothies, and desserts. There's a wide variety of options and I opted for Chè Halo Halo and Pumpkin Cinnamon Milk Tea with Coffee Jelly for the fall vibes. The halo halo ($7.50) was layered with hạt lựu, jackfruit, beans, ice, ube ice cream, and more. It was well balanced and I didn't have any issues with the fruits not being fresh as some of the other reviews mentioned. I enjoyed this a lot, but it is pricey so this isn't something I would get very often. The pumpkin milk tea could've had a stronger pumpkin flavor, though I thought it was pretty decent and the pumpkin and cinnamon flavors complemented each other very well. The coffee jelly was too sweet, but the texture was good. I got 30 percent sweetness and thought it was just right.
This is a nice little dessert shop in Dorchester. It has a variety of classic Vietnamese desserts, but my go to is usually the coffee flan. The flan is a nice custard with crushed ice topped with coffee jelly. There is also coffee at the bottom of the bowl as well. My friend got a che with things like ice cream, coconut and pandan jelly on it. I think the deserts are okay. Sometimes the flan it's not the most consistent (sometimes you can taste the egg more than others). It's still a great place to try if you're getting into eating Vietnamese desserts because of the options.
Wow, Coco Leaf has changed a lot, since the last time I've seen them. The newest installations they have are the cute Instagram-esque backdrop with neon lights and the Buddha corner with comfy chairs. -- Totally the vibe. They serve the same amazing food fare that I love and enjoy. I always get the spicy garlic popcorn chicken and sweet potato fries. Both are delicious and not fatty. Their dipping sauces (I believe it's ketchup mayo) are delicious and a must have!
Came by on a Thursday morning to try their Viet coffee since my girls and I have been #TeamNoSleep for our Girls Trip here. The coffee was kind of watered down, yet half of them were overly sweet from the condensed milk. You can say there's no consistency with the sweetness. The Pandan mochi cake and it was DELICIOUS! We wanted to come back for more to bring back home, but due to timing we were limited with our stops. The Wake-Up Wrap was okay according to my friends. Cute little cafe in Dorchester. Beware of parking. Very friendly customer service.
Love Cocoleaf! My favorite boba tea shop in Boston! The boba is always made fresh and chewy. I typically order the mango passionfruit green tea or summer shade. If you like sparkling drinks, the fizzles are delicious. The servers always have helpful menu suggestions. At the entrance of the store, there's a bunch of tables. People are often working or hanging out. There's also bar seating with books to browse.
Great Vietnamese Che spot. Can't wait to come back. Cashiers were very nice. Quick service and dessert was spot on! I had the Che coco leaf. It had a bit of everything and everything tasted fresh. I liked how it wasn't too sweet either. Parking can be difficult, park further down the street, you might have to walk a bit. Dorchester can be alittle sketch so be careful.
Whenever I'm in the area right at fields corner station, I always try to stop by for desserts! Their Che is amazing and fresh; Full of coconut flavors. It's always packed with goodness inside the cup. Grass Jelly, Hot Luu, Pandan Jelly, coconut cream with slices. Hot luu gives it such a nice crunch. Can't find anything like that anywhere. Other goodies: Halo halo, tofu pudding, dessert cakes and cookies in the case, all the che combos.
We came here for their new specialty the broken rice dish and it was the best in Boston so far . They also specialize in their sweet desserts and offer a variety of selections . The owners cook and served us at same time . Everything was good here . read more
Coco Leaf is located in Little Saigon, Dorchester Ave. Parking can be a bit tricky here as everything seems to be street parking, that's what's painful coming in this area - but it's worth the trip if you're looking for Vietnamese spots! After eating a nice Vietnamese food lunch in this area, we were in the hunt for desert. Coco Leaf is a solid pick in this area and they also had assortment of pastries. We tried two (as pictured which was banh dua and matcha bun). Both were delicious and not too sweet which is what I look for in Asian deserts. Service was friendly and quick as when we visited it was in the middle of the day so there was no line. Ambiance is clean and has the typical vibe of a boba tea place! Our drinks were as expected - read more

I recently visited Coco Leaf - AkoKo café in Dorchester, and had such a wonderful experience. The café is bright and airy, and the décor is truly unique - I haven't seen anything like it in the area. I love the combination of café food with more of the traditional bubble tea menu. When I went in to visit, I wasn't 100% sure what I was signing up for, but was beyond impressed! The service was excellent as well - everyone we spoke to was so kind and attentive. Our top 3 orders: Dragonfruit fresca (I added mango): this was SO good. I'm a big bubble tea fan and it was sweet but not overwhelmingly so, and had the nice fizzy cut to it. My only quip was that I wish the specific dragonfruit flavor was a bit stronger, but whatever it tasted like was absolutely delicious - fruity and fresh!! Popcorn chicken: crispy, not too salty and perfectly hot when it arrived at our table. The popcorn chicken was SO good, and I think it would go well with essentially any meal - but was especially complementary to our sweet drinks and other dessert choices! Not too heavy, and truly just what we were looking for. Strawberry cream puff: one of their more popular dessert items, this was a big hit with us when we left. They actually offer the cream puff in multiple flavors, not limited to strawberry - but we did not regret our choice, and couldn't stop talking about the textures! Between the satisfying crunch on the outside, a not-too-sweet pastry and an incredibly decadent filling, this one is too good to miss. You have to try it! If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend a visit to this café. It was a great find, and I'll definitely be back - and what a great place to take some pictures! read more
CoCo Leaf is a good choice when you're craving bubble tea and you want to study or just meet up with friends. The staff here are very quick to serve you and polite. Most people that come here come to hang out or to study. The only thing is that sometimes street parking is hard to find during peak rush hour. Their Taro bubble tea isn't that good and tasted powdery. I honestly couldn't even finish it and I had to throw it away. However, the Brown Sugar here Is amazing and is probably one of the best I've ever had! It's very sweet, creamy, and the boba was the perfect soft and tender texture. As a bonus, they also have in a rewards program that you can sign up for! read more
Based SOLEY off of a Thai milk tea with boba, I give this place a solid 4 stars. There was a pretty substantial menu (Che, fruit tea, crepes etc) so I would love to come back and try more! The boba was delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, the workers were kind. My only feedback is my drink was not well mixed (you can see the condensed milk at the bottom) and the straw was too short for the really tall thin cup. Really small things, really. I will be back to try the desserts! read more

Coco Leaf has some of the best Che I've had, period. The Che Saigon is a winner, folks. Delicious pandan jelly (with the perfect bite and QQ to it), grass jelly, young coconut, and coconut milk come together in a ridiculously refreshing way. The best way to eat this is to just mix it all together, dump it straight down your throat, and get a brain freeze. KIDDING! You eat this delight however you want. read more

I've been called a Boba thief And it's true, but please don't give me grief Cause when you taste this tea You'll be stealing, like me Especially Boba from Coco Leaf! Coco Leaf is that one that is over on the other street that is not next to Bambu (sorry I get confused between all the similar Boba places in Dorchester, so that is for my clarification). I definitely enjoy their Okinawa Tea. It has a nice roasted flavor and good sweet Chewy Boba. Then I tried the brown sugar milk tea and I have to say I think it was advertised wrong. I don't think it's actually milk tea at all. I think it's one of those brown sugar milk drinks that is pretty popular on a lot of Vietnamese and other menus lately. It was still really good though - but it just tasted of milk and brown sugar. And she said the difference was it was more milky. How about just milky, with no tea! Next time I'll ask for that drink but with lots of black tea. Still, both drinks were delicious and service is amazing. Even though their Okinawa is good and they have some nice milk teas, I definitely think that their strength is their Che. So when you come down here check out the Che - authentic Viet dessert drinks. They are Vietnamese dessert drinks. Oh wait I just said that. I'm such a bimbo lately. So yes, the Che. Had it the first time I came here, wanted to try more, but got milkteadistracted. It's what a lot of others were ordering. It's what nearby Bambu is famous for, too. That's what I'll be trying next time I come down here - to compare them directly to Bambu. But for the wonderful service from both the guy and the girl that work here and the little kid as well - and for the excellent Okinawa and the good tapioca - they're getting a nice healthy five star rating from me for being yet another excellent Boba place in South Boston. Now let's finish with a nice rap: I know a Boba place that will drive you LOCO Although it may give you more gas than SUNOCO And if you buy too many drinks, it may make you a BROKE HO But you won't mind because you'll love the Che at COCO Almost as delicious as Ice T's COCO Even more delicious than Sheldon's Kaley CUOCO Your waistline will hate you like Lennon's fans hated YOKO But you won't care once you taste the Boba at COCO (Leaf) Better than the donut shop frequented by the POPO Makes a lot of Boba stores just vanish like a DODO More popular in NYC than f**king POKEMON GO Come and get a milk tea of perfection from COCO (Leaf) They should use me posing in the bathroom as their LOGO They should open up in Singapore, Taipei and KYOTO They will make your belly fat bounce around like a YO-YO But you will not regret the day you tried the drinks at COCO (Leaf) If you're a Latino then you're want more than POCO You'll gulp it down faster than the raging ORINOCO And all your former crushes will say you "used to be a SMOKESHOW" But you won't mind your excess weight, your one true love is COCO (Leaf) You'll spend all your money here and you'll end up a HOBO You'll stick a flute inside your p**sy, or maybe an OBOE You'll find out this Che is your same gender and turn HOMO Because there's nothing in the world you wouldn't do for COCO (Leaf) WHAT read more

Found this spot on Yelp and decided to stop by to try the che that was being raved about! Each element was delicious in the Che halo halo. From the flan to the ice cream to jackfruit and beans. Also got the thai milk tea with tapioca and it was on the watery side. read more
I went on Saturday for lunch and it was so good! I order the Thai Panini along with one of the milk teas and added boba. One of the friendly staff members recommended. This was my first time having a drink with bobas and it tasted great! The atmosphere was a nice cafe style with added pillows on a window style bench. The prices and portions were great as well. I will definitely come back to try more! read more
Coco Leaf brings back fond memories of eating delicious authentic chè elsewhere as a kid. I knew from the photos that I would enjoy this place. As it turns out, the beverages are as amazing as they look. The place is kept very clean. The staff are helpful, approachable, and relaxed. The drinks were made rather quickly. It was a nice touch that one of the staff members checked up on me and asked how the drinks tasted. I ordered the Avocado Smoothie with Crystal Boba and the Chè Coco Leaf. The avocado smoothie was made with fresh avocado and condensed milk. It was the perfect level of sweetness for me. The crystal boba added a nice texture element to otherwise, just a creamy smoothie. As for the chè, it tasted light and refreshing. I loved all of the colors and textures; my favorite textures were from the pandan jelly and hot luu mung beans. read more

Coco Leaf is my go-to spot for cold chè AKA Vietnamese dessert drink/soup. Chè comes in many forms but if you're looking for simple, fast, and refreshing chè then Coco Leaf's got you covered. For hot chè then yeah you want to go to your more traditional Vietnamese places. I love their Che Saigon which consists of a coconut milk base with hot luu (mock pomegranate seeds made with jicama and tapioca), pandan jelly, coconut meat, and grass jelly. Super tasty, refreshing and wonderfully sweet. Coco Leaf also has bubble tea, snacks, and more dessert options like crepes but I go here for their chè. The passion fruit jasmine fruit tea is also a delicious option. read more

Fantastic Vietnamese tea/coffee/dessert shop for those who feel like venturing outside of the typical Boston boba places. Went here on a whim for a pre-dinner snack (lol) and then couldn't stop eating everything. The menu is quite expansive (snacks, milk tea, specialty viet drinks, coffee, smoothies etc etc.), which was a little overwhelming at first. They also have a dessert display where you can drool over all the enticing pastries (and where we got baited into getting a pandan mochi cake). We eventually opted for the popcorn chicken, che halo halo and the pandan cake. Here are my thoughts: Halo halo (4.5/5): As a disclaimer, the only other halo halo that I have tried is Jollibee's, so I didn't have crazy high expectations. Nevertheless, this was delightful! Halo halo is like a conglomerate of seemingly random ingredients, textures and flavors that somehow work together to make a delicious hybrid between ice cream sundae and boba tea. Pandan cake (5/5): Great flavor, texture and massive serving size! For those that have not had pandan, I'd describe it as a vaguely grassy vanilla flavor. Popcorn chicken (3/5): As tasty as this was, I have to say that I have had better. The breading is a little more McDonald's-esque than classic Taiwanese popcorn chicken, but it still hits the spot I guess. Will definitely be back to sample the other million options they have! read more

I'm so thrilled about this new boba tea place! It's not just for the milk teas, they have sweet and savory crepes and great lunch items to snack on too. And the interior! It's absolutely amazing. Beautiful modern day cafe with well-utilized space. They have a huge community table, a high top and several seatings up front if you want to stay awhile like I did. I ended up getting a lot of my work done because of their fast wifi. Love it! Banana Nutella Crepe- Some tart from strawberries and sweetness from banana, nutella and cream inside this warm thin pasty, oh the indulgence! Fried Soy Garlic Chicken- Talk about addiction. These little bites are flavorful, crispy and freaking delicious! Sweet Potato Fries- Awesome. Assam Black Milk Tea w/ Lychee Jelly & Flan- Can I have this everyday please? The combination of smooth tea flavor with creamy milk and the toppings were such a delight. Overall Service: Great people! They were polite and friendly and I totally would become a regular here if it was conveniently located near where I live or work. I'll certainly be back regardless! read more

It's amazing that it's open during the pandemic. Everything is behind plexiglass, workers wear gloves ,and overall very healthy conditions. I can't say the same for the brown sugar boba, because I probably got diabetes from this drink. The boba has a nice chewiness "q" and the brown sugar is amazing. You might need to mix it a bit to spread the ice and make the bottom colder. Too bad face masks don't have holes for a straw. I think you can sit inside, but I think most people take it to go. What are the rankings compared to Kung Fu Tea, Gong Cha, Cha Time?? Don't worry about it. read more
