I had a poor experience at Coco Tea Bar (Azusa). The Pearl Milk Tea ($6.05) captures the taste of watery milk and spongey boba pearls. The drink screams, "cheap" and "thrift-store." Coco Tea Bar (Azusa) is a college student tourist trap. I arrived at Coco Tea Bar (Azusa) on Sunday (around 2:54PM). Parking is easy. The shared private lot is busy; however, there's plenty of spots. This business is across from Azusa Pacific University. Staff's friendly and welcoming demeanor was this experience's highlight. I was brightly welcomed when I entered. Staff (receipt said Hanlin) also helped me when I had questions. Customers can order on the self-service kiosk or counter. My drink took one minute and 26 seconds. Very fast! As mentioned, I ordered the Pearl Milk Tea ($6.05). This drink's default ingredients are non-dairy creamer, boba pearls, and "milk tea." It's a drink that makes me more annoyed the more I reflect upon it. The drink is affordable & large. In addition, it's a faint sweetness at "regular sugar." However, the drink primarily tastes like poorly flavored water. Most frustrating were their old boba pearls. These boba pearls had signs of being frozen and defrosted as they broke into congealed, rubbery chunks with each bite. Their outer later was also spongey (bordering on gloopy). And these squishy boba lacked any sweetness. There were moments where I genuinely pondered about throwing the beverage into the trashcan. Concerning ambiance, Coco Tea Bar (Azusa) had a clean floor but dirty tables. Some tables were smudgy, and others were covered in visible crumbs. Glancing at the glass entrance, I can also see smudgy marks on their unclean windows. Coco Tea Bar (Azusa) feels like a half-abandoned passion project. However, I did like the airy ventilation, three vibrant claw machines, and cheerful upbeat music. This location also includes a gender neutral restroom for customers. Overall, Coco Tea Bar (Azusa) is an affordable, cute, & somewhat-dirty location that sells cheap-tasting drinks. I left disappointed and a little disgusted. 2.4 out of 5 read more

I can't believe I just discovered this place! Was craving a tea drink and found this place near by! Upon entering you can see a few tables and a self ordering kiosk at the front. We ordered the lemon tea and milk tea with boba as well as waffle fries and a cheese dog! Both tea drink had a strong tea flavor which is great and everything was in a good flavor to tea ratio! The boba was also soft and chewy with a hint of brown sugar. Both cheese dog and waffle fries were crispy and hot! I would recommend this place for some nice refreshing drinks and yummy snacks! read more

Parking - The lot is shared with other shops and you will not have trouble finding a space to park. The lot is pretty decent. Corn dog - I got two of the mozzarella and hotdog. You can choose if you want sugar on the outside and I would highly recommend it. It sounds weird but tastes so good. You also have the option to pick up to two sauces to have on it. I chose the classic ketchup and mustard for one dog and the jalapeno sauce and ketchup on the other. This was my first time here and the corn dogs were amazing. Perfect amount of flavor, cheese, crust, sauce and hotdog. The corn dogs can take a while to make because each one is made to order. If you are in a rush to eat something I would say skip it for another day. Pearl Milk Tea - I got this drink at 100% sugar and to my surprise it was not sweet at all. It tasted as if it was only 25% sweet. Not sure if that is how it usually is but I am thankful they made it that way. It tasted really great to me. If you like your drink sweeter I would ask them to add more sugar or taste it first and ask them to readjust it. The boba was soft and fresh. Boneless Chicken Wings - Got this to try for fun because of the BOGO deal. I would say skip this one. It was very salty. Not worth it in my opinion. Overall - This was my first time here, and I'm so glad I stopped by. I was craving corn dogs, and they did not disappoint.. It's a great spot to grab some snacks and just hang out. They have a bunch of cute claw machines with fun prizes, and it's only four quarters per try. I also lucked out with the BOGO deal while I was there. In case you're wondering, yes, they do have a self-order kiosk. Definitely worth the visit. PSA - Not sure if they have this deal often or if it's only for a limited time but they have a BOGO mix and match deal for all their items on the menu. Really great price for the food and drinks. The code is bogo2025. read more

My husband picked me up boba and a Korean corn dog as I was just craving it. Their mango green tea was super refreshing. I got it at 30% sweetness which was the perfect amount. The boba was soft with a slight chew to it, very good texture. I got the original Korean corn dog and it was very crispy but soft on the inside. The batter had a hint of sweetness to it which paired well with the savory hot dog. I am looking forward to trying different items on their menu such as the mozzarella corn dog. read more

I'm so glad this place is here now. I do not have to travel to Arcadia for a Korean corn dog. This is my first time here so I just chose some thing that I would normally not get which is the squid with mozzarella and all beef hotdog. I believe the corndog is made from rice cake? It was soft and chewy with a slight hint of sweetness the mozzarella was on point. I had a squiggle of mustard and on the side got a cheese, mustard sauce and garlic butter sauce. Watch out for that garlic butter sauce. It's pretty lethal you'll need to have mints handy lol. The cheese mustard was fine. It leans towards cheese, than mustard. The squid was truly dark as you can see the contrast in the photo. The girl at the counter was really helpful and nice. The place was spotless at the time I was there in the early evening. I will be back to try the Boba tea and some other corndogs. This is located across from APU and in the same parking lot as Yogurtland and Chick-fil-A that is on the corner. There is plenty of parking so this shouldn't be an issue. read more

I'm blown away! I have never had a Korean dog and have been contemplating on trying for some time! This Korean corn dog looks and tastes amazing. The little squares on the outside are potatoes and inside is a huge piece of mozzarella. It's dipped in their special batter and fried to order. Everything was made and dipped fresh. There are different types of sauce combos. I was a bit hesitant to go all the at way with putting sauce on my entire order but I trusted the process and it was delightful. I even tried it dipped in a bit of sugar. My tea was delicious, I asked for 70% sweetness and it can honestly be less sweet. Great experience, clean establishment. There was only one worker at the time that I went and they did an amazing job! Definitely recommending for anyone who has not tried this yet! read more

LOCATION: A unique boba and snack place in Azusa near APU and Citrus plaza. Tons of parking and location is great! SERVICE: We met Helen and she was friendly and gave us advice on the corn dogs and which one was good with cheese or with meat. FOOD: the corn dogs were a bit underwhelming but definitely unique to the Korean culture and rare in the area to have. It's a must try but not sure if I would come back. The hot dogs are roughly all around $4-6 and their drinks look great as well. Pretty affordable. Heard of Coco as a big chain international in Taiwan, Beijing, etc. There are also some unique drinks that I haven't seen. If you have a boba craving in the Azusa area, I would recommend checking this place out! read more

I've had Korean corndogs before but this was my first time having CrunCheese. We placed our order via self-serve kiosk and was called by name once our order was ready. (We waited about 10 minutes for our food). I opted for the all cheddar cheese dog and added potatoes for an additional $2. The cheese dog was crunchy, cheesy and delicious! Next time, I think I would omit the potatoes as multiple pieces were overcooked and super crisp but still tasty nonetheless. There are a couple areas to sit (long bench against the wall) and a countertop if you choose to stand and dine but seating is limited. read more

Newly opened Cruncheese x CoCo Tea Bar, took over the old Tea Bar and in found in the same plaza as Chick Fil A. They were having a special buy one get one free special for their grand opening and then buy one get one 50% off for another week after. I ended up coming here two separate times to take advantage of the buy one, get one 50% special (that could have been used on drinks and Korean corn dogs). Over the two visits, I had ordered: Pearl Milk Tea, $5.25- I ordered two of these (one each during each visit). Both times I ordered it to be made with 50% sweetener and no ice. And both times, this drink was perfect. Mango Green Tea, $5.25- My husband ordered this drink to be made with 50% sweetener and no ice. He thought this drink was good but maybe a little on the strong side. Lemon Green Tea, $5.25- This drink was also ordered to be made with 50% sweetener and no ice. My husband also liked this drink as well. -------------------------------- (Total= $21 prior to buy one, get one 50% discount) Wait time was not too long on each visit. Service was friendly by whom I would suspect were the owners of this new tea house. Overall, had a great experience with both visits and will most likely be back again in the near future. read more

First timer! I saw that this newly open location was having a few different promotions so I decided to check it out. The business before this one also sold boba but not too sure why it shut down. Nevertheless, I am glad a boba place still resides in this parking lot. Today, the promotion was buy a drink and get one free original dog. Although I've never tried Korean style dogs, I was excited to try one today. Unfortunately, you only get the original corn dog with any drink as you don't get to choose. The reason I am rating 4/5 stars is because the boba in my drink was hard. I understand it was the middle of the day but fresh boba is always best. As for the corn dog, it was epic. If you're not a fan or corn dogs, you will be now! It was super crispy and super fresh. It was honestly amazing. I can't wait to try one again!! Take advantage of their promotions and check this place out! Will still be back to drink their other dogs and get another drink. read more

I love the idea of this fusion Korean hotdog and boba chain. It's the perfect place to pick up an afternoon snack located right by Azusa Pacific. We were fortunate to come in today while a special was being offered. We received a free regular Korean hotdog with purchase of beverage. For the beverage, I opted for the matcha strawberry love. I had asked for less ice in my beverage but I was informed for this specific drink, there is no modifications to sugar level or ice. The boba that came with this drink was quite chewy, a little on the firm side. I did enjoy it overall. The real strawberries mashed in the syrup were nice. My husband got the popping red stars, it's a mango green tea with strawberry popping boba. The drink was refreshing and pair well with the Korean corndogs. -1 for limiting drink modifications, and boba texture The Korean corndogs are hard to do wrong. The crunchy exterior crust on the corndog was satisfying. I'd recommend checking this place out. I'm glad they opened up this location. It saves me a drive out to Arcadia. read more

Easy parking, nice service. Lots of seating. A one stop shop for refreshing boba drinks and a Korean hot dog snack. Perfect combo! Drinks are great, well balanced, not too sweet, boba fresh, good texture, soft. Really enjoyed the Korean hot dog/half mozzarella cheese, loved the outside crunch, and I like how I took a bite at the top, the mozzarella was gooey and stringy, and hot dog portion yummy :) read more

Not sure if the business is under new ownership or we simply got new employees, but they didn't really seem like they knew what they were doing. Ordered a rice stick and potato mozz. The rice stick was hard, perhaps undercooked and potato mozz was fine but they were trying to give us the sauces on the side instead of drizzled on. When we asked to get it drizzled on the employee seemed confused. We've been coming here, but hadn't in a while so unsure if simply an off day or this is the new normal. Going to be a pass on this place from now on. read more

Who knew Coco was still around!?! I was driving through the area and I found this place and I HAD to stop by. I'll have the House Milk Tea with sago please. Wait, they don't have sago here only regular boba. Any who despite not having sago the drink was still absolutely delicious. Had I not had dinner before coming here I would've gotten a corn dog too. Hopefully I can make it out to the area again. read more

Such a good little spot for Azusa locals honestly! I'm glad to see more boba spots and snack spots. I love love love Korean corn dogs & the potato moz is the bessssst here! I recommend eating it there to enjoy its freshness. The drinks from CoCo Tea Bar are alright, nottttt my most favorite but it's a nice compliment with your food! I definitely prefer the fruit teas over the milk teas for this place. The inside of the place is quite clean & there's enough seating to sit around and enjoy your snack. It does take a bit to get your food BUT it's worth it because it's fresh!! read more

Lots of parking in this area and it's right by a college so you'll probably see some students around. They opened recently and have a couple of promos, so be sure to check out any deals. This place was clean inside and food came out quickly. I got a boba milk tea and mozzarella corn dog. The drinks are a little bit on the sweeter side, so 50% sweetness was good for me. Pretty decent milk tea, the flavor was good, boba was okay too. Not too many boba places in this area that I really like, so this place definitely isn't bad. Mozzarella corn dog was tasty and crunchy too. read more

We got a Popping Red Mars, Mango Slush, Pearl Chocolate and two of their regular Milk Teas for free. Since they just opened a few days ago they are having specials! Today's was to buy a hot dog and get a free milk tea. We got a Potato Hotdog and a Potato Mozza. They are both similar to corn dogs but with little squared potatoes on it. The Mozza had mozzarella cheese in it the other was just a hot dog inside. The kiddos, R and myself loved it. read more

The cruncheese at the Santa Anita mall was closed so we came by to this one and it was the same great quality Korean hotdog. They have a little kiosk where you can order in addition to a register. Half mozzarella half dog is my go-to. Batter is mochi flour I think. Super chewy and delicious. You can't come by and get a hotdog without one of the drinks too. I've tried the passion fruit iced tea with less sugar it was good my husband was adventurous and it backfired like always lol. Plenty of parking in the lot. read more

Came here 2x lure by the Diablo X Coco promotion. Spend so far 60+ on drinks to score 2 mousepad. Couple of things, the manager on duty knows how to make drinks, very fast and does it like a pro. If she recommends that Lilith drink is on the sweet side you better believe it. Now the drinks themselves are of good quality. 7~8 out of 10. This place it somewhere between lollicup and Xing Fu Tang. Some time this month have to go and get some more tea and see if they have any of the promotional stuff left. And off course another Lilith advocate if it's still available. Overall staff are very friendly and answers all the questions even though I get nerd out over Diablo related stuff. Haha. read more

We were in Azusa for a graduation, went here because of the reviews. This was the best Korean corn dog I've had. I had the one with potato on the outside. It was like delicious, stubby fries on a delicious corn dog. We also liked that the drinks weren't overly sweet. If you usually ask for less sweet, you may not need to do that here. Remember to use the coupon code for a discount, sign is next to the order screens. We didn't clue into this until after we ordered. Also enjoyed looking at the happy meal toy collection. read more

FINALLY a Korean dog boba place near me...I usually have to travel to Arcadia or Roland height to get a good dog glad this place opened up prices normal for the boba drinks and fairly priced for the corndogs which are huge and so good! I will definitely be back...hype this place up APU cause we need more diverse cultural foods in this area I mean in n out n Chick-fil-A are good but this little business is soooo good and is worth it and different for this area Luv it!

I am always looking for a good boba bar and this one didn't disappoint with a good variety of drinks. I ordered the Mango Green Tea, 50% sweetener and light lychee. It was good, but something was off, but good not sure how to explain it. I ordered the mozzarella 1/2 corndog and my first reaction is the batter was thick and didn't have much flavor and I was able to taste the oil. Overall, would I come back and grab a drink again?yes. There is so much potential with this location. read more
