    Beach, Please
    Jacquelyn M.

    Wanted a quick drink and we were in the area so we decided to stop by. We ordered a Beach, Please which is a Dr. Pepper with vanilla crème and cherry, but we got it with diet Dr. Pepper instead. The walk-up window was confusing because there were two sides, but no one was there to help us. We had to go around and that's when one of the workers saw us to help take our order. We got our drink very quick and enjoyed it in the outdoor seating. Overall the drink was solid, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have it.

    The best coffee! I ordered the Newport and danish cheese, it's delicious. This might be my new favorite coffee shop from now on. Service is fast and it's a cute coffee shop. I've heard this is their one and only location in Point Loma (unsure).

    Protein Cookie they'll hopefully bring back
    Halle J.

    Humbly asking the leader of coco playa to bring back the protein cookie I went once a week for this cookie and it was sooooooo good (I went to the location shared with Acai Carioca). Service was always fast, friendly and helpful; the girl working the front is always so nice :)

    Cookie box. Left to right: chocolate chip, Dubai chocolate, blue playa, cookies and cream.

    My husband and I have had our eye on this place for about a year but every time we were in the area it was either closed or we were too full from dinner nearby to fit anything sweet. I'm glad we tried it! We got a box of 4 cookies with the chocolate chip, Dubai chocolate, blue playa, and the cookies and cream. Dubai chocolate is all the craze rn but it was our least favorite. The best was the blue playa with the cookies and cream coming in at a close second. The chocolate chip was excellent too. These are waaaay better than the cookies at Crumbl. They were rich, buttery, and chewy and crispy in all the right spots. We also got the Beach, Please dirty soda, which was good, but I've had better. We like the dirty sodas at Homestyle Hawaiian better. Prices are a little steep, but what place isn't these days?

    Celebration Cake Cookie
    The Big Gorger ..

    Hey guys, The Big Gorger here, I have been coming to Coco Playa for awhile now and can I just say, absolutely amazing place. Influenced by the SLOMW (Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives) to come and try since we don't have a Swig in town but who needs that when we got Coco Playa. The workers are always so nice and helpful. I personally get the "Layla" drink which is Mountain Dew, mixed with coconut cream, mango puree, and strawberry puree. I sub out Mt Dew for Sprite though. They have DELICIOUS pretzel bites and cookies. Had two new cookies such as the Ube and Celebration Cake as you can see in the pictures. Both amazing as well. Overall, one of my favorite places to go after a nice tan at the beach / pool. Shoutout to Coco Playa for being the best. Best, The Big Gorger

    Really nice packaging for the four cookies I got

    What's not to love about coffee and cookies? The concept is great. I've driven by here so many times and I'm glad to have finally tried it. It's drive-through only and they've got a large coffee menu. I didn't try any of the coffees because it was kind of late in the day, but they were reasonably priced and there were a lot of options. I had a little bit of sticker shock initially when I bought the cookies. I got four and it was $20. But then the cookies were handed to me in this gigantic box that was quite heavy. I opened it up and there were four gorgeous cookies inside. I didn't get to try the Biscoff cookie dough because it was out that day, but we got a chocolate chip, a cookies and cream, a Dubai chocolate and a peppermint bark. All four were super tasty but I'm not kidding when I say it took three days for us to eat them. They held up well, just got to the last cookie today and it still tasted fresh.

    Del Mar iced espresso with brown sugar

    This place is visually appealing and offers a great variety of drinks, from coffee to fruity energy options. Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn't sure what to order, but the customer service was excellent. The staff member was very helpful and took the time to explain a few drink options. I decided to try the Del Mar, which is made with espresso shots and brown sugar. Unfortunately, the coffee had a fruity flavor that didn't pair well with the brown sugar--it just wasn't my favorite. For a cookie and a large drink, the total came out to $15

    Beach Please Blue Playa
    Nick C.

    On the way out of OB I wanted to get something caffeinated but fun. This is what Coco Playa is about. They have dirty sodas so I tried my first one being the Beach Please. Its a unique drink. If you ever had a New York Egg Cream or kind of like a Root Beer Float without all the ice cream its like that. Very tasty and creamy. Very pleasant. I also opted for a La Jolla or Venice which was very very good. This wasnt Starbucks so the coffee to creamer and mix ratio was a lot better as it was balanced for more coffee. The SO had the Matcha Latte. Which was claimed the best they ever had. Lots of caramel drizzle on this. But still wasnt overly sweet. I also got a cookie. I had to know what does a $5 cookie taste like? Well is it worth it? I got the oddest one the Blue Playa. Theres a lot going on in this cookie. Lots of textures. Its not too sweet and the flavors and cookieness is packed. Was it a $5 cookie? I do not think so. It was scrumptious. I think it should be around the $3.50-$4.25 range. I didnt feel robbed after.

    I was excited to try this place, especially their dirty soda section. I was disappointed during this visit. We got Beach, Please and Pink Flamingo. They were just ok. The chocolate chip cookie was loaded with chocolate chip. They charged you for no ice. Also, the menu posted is outdated. The actual price was higher. Overall, my experience was just ok.

    Beach Please

    Cute little place in the Midway District with a drive thru and a walk up window. Took my husband for his first Dirty Soda. The girl standing at the drive thru taking our order was super sweet and the girl at window was very nice as well. We both got the Beach Please and unfortunately it didn't look like the menu pic and didn't have the creaminess or flavors we expected, it was pretty watery. The Bacon Cheddar Scone was pretty bland, no bacon or cheddar flavor just tiny hard bacon bit like pieces and no cheesiness. My husband enjoyed the cheese danish. Will be back to try their coffees and cookies.

    I have been wanting to try this place and I'm glad I stopped by. The Dubai chocolate cookie was amazing. I love the mango tea. The ones that I was not please is when I modified the drink. I suggest that you order what is in the menu with their concoction that has been proven to mix well. They have a lot of fun and delicious options. Also, order the cookies warm so you get the fresh batch. The service was good and friendly. It's nice that they have a drive thru option.

    I stopped in here for an iced coffee and with a splash of milk. They didn't have one on the menu except their signature flavors with more sugar and flavors that I need or want, so I settled for an iced Americano. The iced Americano was decent, but definitely watered down given the manner the iced coffee was made. As a result, that robust coffee flavor was quite limited. Initially, they also put a limited amount of milk in the coffee, so I had to ask for more. The young lady at the window was friendly. There's no inside seating but there's some on the outside. This place seems to run mostly off their drive thru.

    Tastes like NyQuil cough syrup. Not good. Would recommend making your own dirty soda at home.

    After coming home from visiting friends in Idaho and being spoiled with swig daily, I came here wanting a dirty soda after a quick google search suggested it. I'm genuinely very upset and disappointed. My main reason for being upset is the lack of apology from the employee who cashed me out. When she handed me my beverage she let go of the cup before I was even able to get a good hold on it, causing it to spill all over my car and body. No apology, no empathy. Nothing? Like at all, it was very clear she did not care and just gave a very blunt almost sarcastic sounding "do you want napkins?" (huh?? Obviously? what?) While she may have given me napkins and remade my drink, which was the bare minimum. I can't help but feel stuck on the fact there was no actual apology over the fact she dropped my drink into my had before I was able to hold it properly, something as simple as "I'm sorry" would have been enough. It's not unreasonable to want or expect a simple "I'm sorry that happened" Even more disappointing was my flamingo drink, it was not good and had a cough syrup flavor. As soon as I pulled over into the gas station, to continue cleaning up my seat and car floor, I threw it away. It was not at all anything like the many different yummy drinks I tried at swig. Obviously I know coco playa is different and not swig but it's just not good nor would I personally come back. The only decent product was the cookie, while it was cold it was at least soft and tasted like a cookie. Disappointed and Unsatisfied, sadly will not be returning as it does not seem worthwhile.

The vibe on the weekend was nice and relaxed and the employees were really nice, friendly, and smiling. I think the vibes are right for their offerings and area. However, my coffee orders were just eh. I think as a place for a basic coffee or latte with no flavoring you'll enjoy it, but I ordered two specialty iced lattes (one baklava latte and one tiramisu latte) and they tasted the same. I'm not sure what this place feels in terms of sugar but both my lattes (ordered at different times for giving the benefit of the doubt) just tasted like plain sugarless lattes. If you're advertising something with flavor give us flavor. Like for tiramisu I tasted not even a hint of cocoa, cream, or cinnamon. And for Baklava I tasted no spices or nuts like pistachio. My biggest gripe was I think they served me almond milk when I expressly asked not to since I'm allergic and I've had hives for 2-3 days now =( luckily I'm not deathly allergic but this could be a problem for someone who is.
