Great tasting froyo, rich, flavorful and not artificial tasting. Been on campus for almost two decades, and always a loved spot for the students and alums alike. They charge by weight. My kids like the fruity ones, I liked the taro, the matcha is a bit light in flavor in comparison but still pretty good. read more

One of the stuff had racially motivated behavior towards me. First he said we don't accept cash, then he said don't wait in line we don't accept card and I have to use the order device or the app. I've vision disability so that's not a good option for me. Although I've ordered coffee there before and paid with cash and card and wasn't asked to use the device to order before. I'd my Afro hair pretty good it attracted him I guess and made him keep an eye on me watching me and keep bothering me telling me what to do where to order and stuff while there were bunch of other people in line and he didn't ask any of them. read more

Cocomero - The picture of the coffee where i was mistreated and felt watched - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Cocomero is a fruit and yogurt shop right of the main quad at the University of Illinois. They serve frozen yogurt, teas, smoothies, and much more. This is a very popular spot. My husband and I got a mango smoothie to share. We could taste the fresh high quality ingredients. This seems like a great hangout place with your friends or a nice place to study away from your dorm. read more

I love Cocomero so much it is a classic froyo place with all the best options for toppings. They have something for everyone, if u like sweet, fruity, salty, they have everything! The frozen yogurt tastes so good and fresh (so much better than dining hall ice cream). I ate mine up it was actually perfect. And the window seats upstairs are perfect for watching campus life. I love going here with friends and i look forward to my future cocomero outings! read more

Cocomero - Strawberry ice cream, cookie dough ice cream, and a bunch of toppings - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

This is As good as I remember it from 6 years ago. I liked the simplicity of the froyo options and it is cheap. Quality- I got the green tea and taro flavored froyo. The green tea flavoring is great and you can taste it but I thought the tarp could have been brought forth more. It was pretty tasteless. Quantity- 65 cents for each ounce is ok for froyo. There are cheaper places around for ice cream and yogurt. Price- see above Atmosphere- this is what sells it. I like the coffee shop atmosphere and sitting upstairs while studying is nice. Service- good service. It is self serve. read more

I grabbed an iced Americano and sat on the second floor this Sunday afternoon. The beverage was okay, and the decoration made it cozy for studying. However, it was noisy afterward because more and more people went in, sitting around tables and chatting loudly. The music was loud as well, which made it hard to continue to focus on my work, even though I was wearing noise-canceling headphones. Maybe this place would be better for studying during the holidays! read more

I love this place for their BYO froyo cups. I'm a green tea lover, usually adding white chocolate chips and mocha to my froyo, they have taro and other flavors to try. I don't recommend getting bubble tea here, it's not their forte. Just go for the froyo. It's self-serve so you can get as much or as little as you want. I like the window view on the second floor since you can people watch while hanging out with friends and enjoy your froyo all at the same time. read more

A great place to catch up with some friends, while also having some great cold drink. Anytime I go yo Cocomero, I get the strawberry and banana smoothie. It is usually sweeter then what I would like my smoothie to taste like, however, it's still a good smoothie overall. They also serve frozen yogurt(plus the toppings) here, and have a lot of seating. Whether that be for hanging with friends, or trying to find a niche place to get some studying in. read more

Cocomero - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Most of my visits here have been a delight, except for one time. Although when you go as often as I you probably will have that one or two "so, so" moments. In the better weather I run and stop at this cafe as a half point. I choose this place as a half point because of its bright and colorful theme, and large variety menu. On my runs I always go for a non-dairy based boba tea (usually Black Sugar), and they are ALWAYS perfect! If I am going just to chill I usually go for their frozen yogurt, with all the toppings your bowl can handle. Which is never a bad experience! The service here is great, there is this one younger guy who is there often who I enjoy small talking to. I have probably visited the place more the 20+ times and will continue to while I am here, and the only time my experience wasn't perfection was the only time I ordered a coffee. It took very long, and it kinda just tasted like a buttered biscuit, which was not the chosen flavor. The best part about the coffee was the lid I was given had an "convenient" extra whole which spilled the coffee all over my hoodie. I took it back and they said it was most likely a manufacture error, but it still was frustrating. Still, a very recommendable cafe! read more

It's self-serve frozen yogurt. Is this a new concept to you? If so, welcome to America! It loses a star for not handing out tiny cups to sample the flavors. The guy at the counter said the U of I students tend to abuse the privilege. So thanks, Thieving Illini! Toppings were fresh and the yogurt was tasty. It was also cool that it has a second floor, so you can climb the stairs to look out toward campus. read more

their overpriced coffee and boba are both noticeably watered down. Plenty of better options for pretty much anything that they offer. Especially service. STORY TIME: I was working at CocoMero after getting some coffee, and wanted to fill my waterbottle since I had forgot to before I left home. So I went down and asked for her to fill up my waterbottle. she was super kind and happily did so By the time she was done, the owner walked by and said, "no, don't fill it up. just fill it up this much" as he indicated barely any water what the heck? not only is that barely any water, but he did it in front of me. now i feel bad asking for water... at a coffee shop?? thats absurd to me read more

I went at around 5 PM on Tuesday since I was craving froyo and needed somewhere to get work done. The cashier was super nice and the entire atmosphere was great for me to get work done on a nice afternoon. I will definitely be coming here again! read more

This place is so cute and spacious! I'm from Utah so obviously I'm going to compare everything now that I've moved to Urbana and so far.. IL over UT :) I really like the vanilla and pistachio frozen yogurt with mochi as my topping of choice. I'm pretty simple when it comes to flavors and don't go overboard with the toppings but hey, to each their own. There are 2 levels and I sat upstairs and had a good view of the campus and the chairs are comfortable too! I am not sure if they offer WiFi here but if they do then this would be a perfect place to bring your laptop and have a snack :) My only suggestion would be to add some green tea or taro flavored frozen yogurt. Ugh. How Asian can I be? read more

Cocomero is probably the best frozen yogurt place I've been to. It beats the likes of the well-known Pinkberry and Red Mango, and even the lesser known Tutti Frutti and Sweet Frog. In fact, I don't think I can accurately call this cafe a frozen yogurt place anymore. In addition to the pay-by-weight frozen yogurt plus toppings feature, Cocomero offers bubble teas, coffees, and bing soo. This place is always lively as many college students frequent Cocomero all throughout the day. It's also a bonus that the staff here is also amazing. read more

Reviewing completely based on fro-yo options and the store itself, this place is pretty nice! They offer a variety of flavors and toppings. Cocomero recently re-painted the walls and brought in new furniture. It feels a lot cozier with the new cushioned chairs and couches. The shop has always been well cleaned and the toppings seem to be changed regularly to assure that they're fresh. While the flavors and atmosphere are nice, the shop does not offer sample cups like every other froyo place I have been to, I have found a couple of the employees to be a little less than friendly, and the place can get to be pretty loud. All in all, it's a nice place to go for a sweet treat! read more

Best froyo in town! They keep the topping bar super neat and stocked that I never worry if I'm getting old toppings. I like the seasonal change in flavors so there are always new ones to try with the favorites still available. My personal favorite is the pineapple, taro, and milk tea when they had it! I also love the pumpkin spice so look for it during the fall. There are lots of drinks to choose from that are based on personal preference. My favorites are the mango smoothie with lychee jelly, taro, and honeydew smoothie. You can also ask for up to 2 different flavors to blend together for the smoothies. With their new cozy design change, it's a great place to hang out with friends! read more

What can be better than froyo by the ounce? Getting to pick your flavors, how much you want for each, toppings = pure perfection. There were a wide variety of flavors to choose from ranging from mango to red velvet. The thing I love about buying by the ounce is that I get to try every flavor I want. But you have to be careful because some of the flavors I tried the froyo was a bit too watery or not creamy enough for my liking. There were also a wide variety of toppings. The fruits were fresh, and this place even has mochi as a topping. Cocomero is simply delicious. Just be careful about how much froyo you get. Seriously can get a little froyo happy and end up with $10+ worth of froyo. =) read more

Cocomero - FroYuuum! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

Since it's close to campus, they definitely overcharge you for the frozen yogurt: it costs 0.49 per ounce. To keep it in perspective, the cheapest place I've been to charged 0.39 per ounce. Other than that, the area is decorated really nicely and is filled to the brim with Asian people. I'm actually shocked that they don't have some sort of stamp or incentive system. I will say that the mango fruit is delicious. read more

Hello - I'm writing this to inform everyone about this Cocomero location and how terribly the owner, Colin Kim, treats his employees. I was a former employee at another location that Colin used to own and recently sold. He still owns this current location. To sum everything up into a shorter, condensed version, Colin is withholding almost $1000 in tips from me and my other co-workers and is refusing to pay us these tips even though we found them in a bag inside the safe labeled "Employee Tips". He says he is not obligated to pay us these as we are not tip-based employees; however the new Illinois Federal Wage laws say otherwise. He also has never paid us time and a half for working overtime and holidays, which is illegal. He says he doesn't owe us that pay either. He paid us in cash for a long time because he didn't want to deal with the IRS, which is ALSO illegal. Colin is Korean and there were many other Korean employees working there; however they made $4 more an hour than the American employees. We did the same exact tasks at Cocomero and had the same responsibilities yet he showed favoritism towards them simply because they are Korean. He is showing discrimination in the workplace based on race and giving unequal pay. Colin would also continuously approach the female American employees working and come up behind us putting his hand on our backs and rubbing where our bra straps were. This made us extremely uncomfortable but didn't know who to tell as this is a franchise solely owned by him; there is no corporate. Cocomero also has violated many health codes in the past. The owner does not treat his employees well at all, disrespects them, and does not care about customers. He only cares about himself and the money he can scam off of people by being sneaky (i.e. your yogurt cup is not tared when you weight it so you are paying for the whole cup which I also learned is illegal in the frozen yogurt business). I urge everyone who reads this to please no longer support this business. There are way better frozen yogurt places in the area that will treat their employees with respect and be honest! read more

On my recent trip to California I made it a point to get to two froyo places - Pinkberry and Yogurtland. Despite liking the tartness of PB's original flavor, it just couldn't match up to the variety of flavors, toppings, and the cheap pricing of YL. Unfortunately, from what I had heard, the only other froyo place with the "by-the-weight" model in Chicago was pretty bad. I've known about the one in Champaign for a while but I'd never gone...perhaps due to a fierce loyalty to Jarling's Custard Cup and the Moonstruck that Cocomero replaced. But, as a lover of froyo I had to see what the fuss was about... Fellow Yelpers, Yogurtland has come to the Midwest. Tons of flavors, tons of toppings, cheap price, and super happy decor. And most importantly - it's good. ESPECIALLY the red velvet froyo. My friends described my reaction as if I had just saw the love of my life. In-freaking-tense. I'm happy I have a Custard Cup alternative to go to if I visit UIUC in the colder months. read more

I used to go to Pinkberry a lot because I loved their plain tart frozen yogurt. Cocomero's plain has a very similar taste; it's sweet and tart but very subtle. I only got fruit for my toppings but they were pretty fresh, and there are so many other kinds of toppings, too! My son loved his chocolate flavored frozen yogurt. The bathroom is also very nice and the entire atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend! read more

I'd say the froyo and toppings were top notch here. The mango and blueberries were fresh, and the toppings bar was kept really neat and clean. It's the first time I've seen the cylindrical wafer cookies as an option, and those seemed to be a big hit with everyone in the shop. Although, there were some flavors "out of service," and the brownie and Oreo bites weren't exactly bites. I personally like the pieces a little smaller so I can get a little bit of a lot of toppings and not pay $10 for just a "snack" of froyo. There was only a one stall restroom on the first floor, and I'm not sure about the second story, but there was certainly adequate seating (both inside and out). We came near to when they were closing, but they were still very friendly and had all the toppings out. It was actually still hoppin' close to 9 pm, and I can see it getting crazy during some business hours. read more

Replaced milk tea flavored froyo with pumpkin spice. A real shame. This shows a lack a strong convictions, forgoing a solid flavor for an insipid, fleeting trend that appeals only to the lowest common denominator. I cannot stand behind any such business. read more

Cocomero - The cancer that plagues a once great season. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Champaign, Illinois

This place is great. When springtime rolls around, I always gotta get my coco fix and sit on the quad. This is a super popular place among students at U of I. The staff is friendly. The interior is modern and yogurt flavors change depending on the season. My favorite flavors are red velvet cake, mango and taro. There are a large varieties of toppings as well. I always end up putting mochi, cap'n crunch, mango, kiwi and strawberries on mine. I tend to lose control when I go in and my totals are always at least $5 ahhh. Totally worth it though! read more

Went to Cocomero today after lunch just like I usually would for the past year when school was in session. I went up to the counter to order my usual - fruit bingsu with syrup rather than milk, because I can't have milk. What was different was the "manager" this time refused to make it for me. He claimed that it was best with condensed milk and I would just have to deal with it. I tried to explain to him nicely that I understand, but that's not how I like it. Also that I've been doing it for the past year and even though the amount of syrup has been hit or miss, I still like it that way, and I haven't complained about it. Instead of listening to the customer, he insists that he is "the manager of all of this (with hand motions)" and refused to sell me what I requested. I ended up giving up and leaving. Most likely won't be back as long as "the manager of all of that" is still around since he refuses to sell me the one thing I can eat and enjoying having. read more

YES, so good. I go to school about 45-60 minutes away and I drove all the way to Champaign for this. OK well I went shopping too. Cocomero is DIY frozen yogurt and I love that concept. There are a ton of different flavors. Pick one or mix and match. They will also give you taster cups, which are really hard to eat yogurt from. I don't get it. Once you have your yogurt, go to the topping bar and choose what you want. They have all kinds of fruit, nuts and candies. I recommend mochi :) Then, you weigh your creation and pay by the ounce ($.47/oz I believe). Sit down or take it to go. YUM. read more
