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.

Strawberry Matcha Milk
Sophia H.

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.

Only response to hair on my banh bo "our apology" no message about how they'll change or be more careful.

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.

Che Coco Leaf
Alice Z.

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.

Che Halo Halo and Pumpkin Cinnamon Milk Tea
Sarah N.

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.

Coffee Flan
Christine W.

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.

Nat B.

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.

Denise F.

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.

Che Coco Leaf
David V.

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.

Che Halo Halo
Connie C.

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.

I honestly never had a coffee like this before. Best way to describe it other than delicious is it's like a light roast espresso, I didn't need to add anything to it. Warning: I think I'm going to be up for 24 hours now. Very nice atmosphere inside. I see this would be a great meeting spot either socially or to talk business. Parking may be tricky but it's well worth walking a few blocks.

Case in point--the turf bagel. I love it so much that sometimes it's hard for me to order anything else. Drinks are a mixed bag for me. Their matcha (hot or iced) is solid, but I always need to sweeten it. The limeade was too bitter for my taste, and the rickey-style drink didn't quite hit my sweetness preference either. Chai (both hot and iced) is nice, but definitely add vanilla. Next on my list to try? The grilled cheese. I've been coming here for years, and the space is not big, but when it gets packed -- good luck. There are barstools facing the window and smaller tables throughout, but navigating the space can be tricky, so I wouldn't call it fully accessible. Still, the atmosphere makes up for a lot--it's got that community café element that I personally love. Overall, Homestead is the kind of place you want to experience for yourself: come for the food (which will always deliver), try the drinks with your own preferences in mind, and soak in the sense of community.

Sweet Sip definitely met our expectations that day. I got the dark and stormy milk tea which came with honey boba. It was interesting to see that you could add free toppings to your milk tea which you rarely see elsewhere. I added the passion fruit jelly and pudding. Unfortunately there were no options in the delivery app to adjust for sweetness or ice so we got the drink as is. It was very well made but was sweeter than I'd prefer (my sweetness level is 70%). However because our accompanying dinner was spicier than expected, the sweetness of the drink actually helped us! I also ordered the mochi eggpuff with pandan flavor. I'm not sure if I could taste the pandan but the eggpuff was delicious. Again, sweeter than I'd typically like but the texture was great - crunchy outside with a chewy mochi filling. We had leftovers and it heated up excellently the next day in our simple toaster oven. This was intended to be a fun add-on to our meal and turned out to be quite essential - glad we tried them out!

I've been eating Banh Mi bread and sandwiches since the 1990's in Vietnam and in Boston since 2000…read morewhen it used to cost $1 in Chinatown. I love Banh Mi, you cannot understand how much. I used to go to different hoods and eat 2-4 different Banh Mi's within an hour just for fun. This is the best Banh Mi bread and sandwich in Boston, no one in Boston knows except the Dorchester locals apparently. The idiots who put together listicles routinely ignore this historic establishment, likely the first and still best Banh Mi bakery and sandwich purveyor in the Boston area. Sorry, Ba Le, no disrespect. There are actually more Banh Mi and Num Pang places in Lowell than in Dorchester, some were equally as good, when they used Chau's bread. (If you want a work of art, try Le Petit Cafe.) Chau Bakery deserves a hall of fame in Boston food, I'm serious. Chau's bread is a dream, huge Nerf footballs with the perfect crust, it will never get better than this, you just know when you see it, smell it, touch it and finally eat it. When you get the sandwich it is just sensory overload, you'll ask yourself, "Am I in a food porn shoot?, because something feels wet, not sure what." I love this place and so does everyone who steps in it. It's just criminally unknown.

It is a…read moresmall storefront along Dorchester Avenue, and I lucked out finding a parking spot just across the street. Inside the deep narrow space there were two tables along the right in the front area. Very utilitarian. Not gussied up at all. Fridges on the left held some drink options and other chilled items. I walked up to the Vietnamese sub station where a gloved lady was restocking some cold cuts and waited to order my lunch for $4.50. A sign posted informed me that if I had the appetite, I could have gotten one of Chau's sandwiches free if I were to order 10. The crisp roll seemed a tad larger than what I was used to. It wasn't toasted, but was spread with lots of the creamy white spread, before a generous portion of the beef I requested was added. The sub was also well filled with a sauce, scallions, pickled carrots and daikon, and cucumber. I had asked them to omit the spicy and cilantro, and to go heavy on the veggies. A second lady behind the counter took my $5 and gave me my change. My order was handed to me in a bag complete with a couple of napkins. Turns out the beef was cool as well, so that's something that New Saigon in Chinatown offers that tops Chau - that and the toasted bread. But still, my sub was tasty and well filled, and my stomach full for $4.50. So I was content.

It came with a separate ball of ice (in a plastic bag hahahah) to add to dilute it a bit since the che only had the jellies and condensed milk. Mine had ~4 lychees, very little jackfruit that didn't even taste like jackfruit, and a bunch of red tapioca + green jelly. Overall, it didn't really satisfy my cravings unfortunately. It's too bad because I remember liking Bambu many years ago.
