Came here twice and the boba is the best I've ever had. They have not disappointed me yet and I have to say this might be my favorite joint. Highly recommend the rose garden tea and Kocochi milk tea. read more

My friend wanted to have some popcorn chicken and a drink so we decided to drive from downtown Seattle all the way up here as reviews were promising. Fortunately, there was no traffic so it was a 20 min drive easily. However, a lot seemed to have changed from about a year ago? We got popcorn chicken which was $9 for a very tiny plate (like the medium size sampler food container you get at food tasting events) which is a joke of a portion, and the chicken was not even good quality - heavy on the batter. Compared to pictures a year ago, where the portions looked much much larger. They are so stingy on the amount of chicken, that I thought they were giving us a sample to try before they make a real batch lmaooooo. I tried the Kocochi milk tea with creme brulee, boba, jelly, etc. Sounds good on paper, inflation I get it, was expecting $7 but it was $8, plus tax, so it is actually not that competitive of a price anymore now that I think about it. I could get a very good quality boba drink for $7.50+tax elsewhere without all the fancy toppings, but with boba included. I was pretty disappointed with the quality. The boba is so overcooked that it is mushy, and the creme brulee was not thick enough that I have to use a spoon to even be able to get any of it out (instead of being able to drink it from the other side which is what it is supposed to be). I'd avoid this place unless this is a one off but I will need to be redeemed a better experience before recommending this place. There are better options in the area read more

Kocochi Cafe - Kocochi milk tea, Vietnamese coffee, popcorn chicken - IG @bougiefoodieboi - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I thought the café itself was cute and it was enjoyable to sit and eat my meal and drink my drink. Sadly, I found my meal a bit bland. I got the udon noodles that come cooked with milk. It didn't have much taste I know spices or anything really to give it some flavor. it kind of reminded me a bit of eating in a nursing home where they always have to keep the food, bland, and easy to eat. But other than that, I liked everything else. The service was absolutely exceptional. The waitress who helped me was kind and gave me good information and answered all my questions. I liked my drink too, although it did not taste that much like mango as I was expecting it too. I had half my drink there and drank the other half when I got home the next day and it still tasted great the next day. It's definitely a cute place to come with friends or just enjoy some quiet time on your own. Parking is free and in the parking lot read more

I enjoyed my whipped cream Oreo croffle. The croissant was nicely grilled, soft on the inside with crispy exterior. I do like a croffle served with ice cream, but in this case it was whipped cream topped with a Oreo cookie and bits. Service was friendly and prompt. read more

Came in for dessert drinks after filling up on malatang. Many options including skewers and savory dishes. Will have to go back to try the food. We tried the kocochi coffee (which tasted like a standard iced Vietnamese coffee), ube milk tea with ube crystal jelly, and lychee yogurt with lychee jelly and lychee bursting boba. Ube milk tea was good, not too sweet, and son liked the yogurt. Eclectic interior, enjoyed looking at their Funko Pop collection. read more

I drove past Kocochi Cafe on my way for groceries and decided to stop in afterwards to try a drink. Black Milk Tea, 50% Sweet, Half Ice w/ Boba ($6.25) - They don't fill the cup all the way to the top and instead leave about a half inch gap. The drink actually comes premixed in a pitcher and the boba scooped from a pan. At half ice, there's way too much ice, probably comparable to 100% at other shops. The milk tea is not bad actually. It tastes a little like mulling spices, perhaps 1/4 of the way to becoming Chai. I found it very similar in taste to ViVi Bubble Tea. The boba here isn't rotated very well, I assume due to low traffic. The texture makes it feel like the boba has been sitting for a bit. It feels both hard but also too soft at the same time; chewy, but leathery. It's not quite to the point of being like day-old boba, but it's on the way there. Milk Tea Rating: 3.5/5 Boba Rating 2.5/5 The plaza Kocochi inhabits was completely desolate when I visited, most likely since the only business open in the building. I assume things will pick up once the YGF opens next door. I'll have to visit again once that happens, as I assume things will be a bit more fresh once they have more customers.

This place had "soft opening" sign when we visited. Very cozy with comfortable chairs. We were at the cafe for such a long time. People came in and out but never too full at least currently. We ordered passionfruit lemon tea and cocochi tea. The drinks can be customized to 25% sugar. We only ordered drinks but the food choices are appealing. Will have to try next time. There's plenty parking spaces in front when other places were closed. There are some restaurants and businesses sharing the parking. read more

Kocochi Cafe caught my attention driving past on 99 twice. Third time's the charm, I had the opportunity to check out this new spot, located just north of 99 Ranch in Edmonds (12/16/24). Totally new spot in a brand new strip mall that emerged after the fire that took out the previous businesses a few years back. Bright, clean cafe. Ample available parking, ample interior seating. There's also a social gaming corner with games and plushies on the adjacent shelf. The front counter sure has a lot of Funko items lined up that adds to the interior decor. Bumping stereo system. Decent menu selection for bevs and eats. Welcoming service from the counter staff. The Homie ordered a Brown Sugar Thai Milk Tea w/boba and the five piece combo with 3 lobster and 2 shrimp skewers. I decided on a Hokkaido Milk Tea and two pork and shrimp siu mai fried skewers. Pretty decent for onsite dining, social meetup, or takeout. Nice north end find! read more

Very spacious cafe that newly opened in Edmonds! Lots of seating and tables available to chat with your friends or to do work. I got the Kocochi Milk Tea which came with brown sugar agar jelly, boba, and creme brûlée. The lowest sweetness setting appears to be 25%, though I prefer my drinks to contain 0% sugar. My drink had a good balance of tea to ice and the toppings were fun to chew on. Additionally, the popcorn chicken was crispy and well-seasoned. I did find it to be saltier than it was spicy. read more

Rounding up from 3.5 as I'm hopeful. Replacing Tapioca Express is Kokochi Cafe, a new boba spot serving a variety of drinks and snacks. Will miss TapEx in the Pacific Plaza for nostalgic reasons but the drinks here are definitely better (given the advanced growth with bbt). Currently only sharing the parking lot with KidStrong so there is a ton of parking. Free wifi available with some outlets. They do offer ice and sugar adjustments in 25% increments. Noticed interesting toppings including chili pepper popping boba which sounds fun but unsure what that pairs well with. Soft opening first week of December. Service is pretty slow but I remain hopeful for their success. Buy any 2 drinks and get 1 basic milk tea free (oolong, green, or ...) first two days. No toppings on the free drink. Rest of the week is 10% off. Took just under 30 minutes for our first two drinks. Took 50 minutes for our fourth drink. Popcorn chicken came first (before drinks) and wasn't too hot. Wasn't too busy either, but staff could still be training, so keeping that in mind. Popcorn Chicken - not as good as TapEx. Chicken is cut smaller which means they're more dry. Spice is dusted at the end so certain pieces are more flavorful on top but could the bottom bites are bland. Could be better spread and incorporated earlier into the process. Jasmine Green Milk Tea w/ Boba - boba is slightly undercooked. It's firm but still chewy, could use a few more minutes (or perhaps it's not fresh since it's a soft opening). Green tea was present with a light floral taste. Oolong Milk Tea - tasted like a normal oolong milk tea. Not much to comment on here. Kokochi Milk Tea - their signature drink with a variety of toppings. Couldn't quite tell because of the toppings and their sugar coatings, but tea base felt closer to black tea. It's a good dessert drink with the creme brûlée. read more

Since this whole plaza burnt down a year or two ago, this used to be tapioca express and they had some yummy street snacks and drinks but saw that Kocochi Cafe was opening after they rebuilt the plaza and was super excited to see what they offered! Looked at their menu and there were a lot of similar things that they had like Tapioca Express! I decided to try their Jasmine Green Tea with boba and my girlfriend tried the Oreo Thai Tea Smoothie with boba. Both drinks were delicious! The Oreo Thai Tea Smoothie reminded us of a place call Zero Degree in Oregon! Perfect sweetness and the consistency was perfect. We also ordered some of their food to try too! What we got were the popcorn chicken & fries combo, four combo skewer(fried hacao, taro fish balls, and the shrimp ball with quail egg) everything was delicious! Everything came out fresh, crispy and hot! I recommend trying the snacks when you come here! You won't regret it! Lastly, the inside of this cafe was super clean and modern! The decoration of funko pops was pretty cool since I'm into collectibles and something unique to see at a cafe! Also workers there were very welcomed and super nice too! Overall, I'm glad that this cafe is in the plaza and very close to us! I will be back to try their other drinks and snacks! read more

Cute new place that opened up that took over tapioca express in the same plaza. They have a large menu with foods and drinks. Nothing in particular stood out to my eye, but they had things like Oreo, Matcha latte and Tara smoothies and signature drinks. The Boba was good texture.Friendly service and good tea taste. read more

The bubble tea here was a disappointment. It tastes so strong, as if it's been sitting and steeping all day, and the boba were so squishy they just disintegrated into nothing in my drink. Inedible really, I tossed it. The popcorn chicken though, I'll go back for that again and again. read more

ohmygod when i tell you this is my new favorite spot for popcorn chicken and yummy drinks!! we tried the matcha oreo smoothie and peach strawberry yogurt drinks... amazing, light on sweetness, refreshing taste, one size and big cups!! the popcorn chicken was perfectly crispy and seasoned. we will be back to try more snacks on their menu!! read more

First time trying this place out and I was blown away by the menu from boba drinks, coffee, munchies, skewers to croffles! The cafe was cute modern and a good vibe. The owner is super friendly and helped me choose which drinks to order. My favorite was the matcha coffee with taro foam! You taste the hint of matcha mixed with Vietnamese coffee and sweetness from the condense milk and taro foam. It's delicious you got to try it! And then I ate the croffle (croissant/waffle) that was topped with whipped cream and Oreos! It was light and fluffy with just enough sweetness. You got to order it when you visit! I've tried a lot of boba spots but this one has some delicious boba and amazing fusion food that I'll keep coming back for. read more

Not sure it's a full 4 stars but it's solid and I'm excited to have a bubble tea spot here again after the fire a few years ago. My kids are huge fans of the yogurt smoothies as well as that oreo situation and I've had the Kocochi and the taro, both of which are good. Boba is the right amount of chewy and the rainbow jellies were another hit with my 4 and 6 year olds. The popcorn chicken was decent, although I prefer Looking for Chai's, I really liked the fried shumai, and my youngest who loves anything shrimp was into the creamy shrimp (basically honey walnut shrimp). We'll be back bc it's close, the staff was friendly, and the decor is cute with Funko dolls and there were quite a few games to keep our littles entertained. read more

very rude staff, one was on facetime and had her phone propped on the register WHILE i was ordering and laughed at me when i came up.

This place was INCREDIBLE! We came from out of town for a doctor's appointment and needed a place to stop and eat so I drove past this little joint and decided to try it out. When I say this exceeded my expectations in every way, I mean it! We ordered their signature drink and a lychee mulberry tea along with a side of takoyaki and salted cheese mango croffle. The drinks were along the best bubble teas we've ever had, so aromatic and flavorful in every way. The food was also incredible, perfectly fluffy with a little crunch! EVERYTHING WAS PERFECTION!

Place was delicious! From their many drinks like boba and smoothies. Along, with Vietnamese coffee as well. I had their Then they have hot food like popcorn chicken and honey shrimp. Their croffles are delicious as well. I had the Kocochi milk tea which was good tea taste and then topped with a crumble foam which was delicious. Also, had their ube Vietnamese coffee which was nice and not over bitter. Then had their lynchee drink with jelly which was just a good drink overall. The popcorn chicken which I got spicy was nice. The spicy mayo that accompanied the popcorn chicken was at the right heat. The honey shrimp was nicely coated, and the sauce was on point. The croffle I had was the Nutella and oreo one. Croffle was hot and soft. The toppings were delicious as well. Definitely worth visiting. If you want a more in depth look check out my Youtube Channel. Kotaroprince! read more

I ordered a few things off kocochi's menu and didnt think any of the item I tried were particularly special. The milk tea i ordered tasted pretty watered down and the mild popcorn chicken was mediocre. The lady taking my order also seemed to have no idea what was on their menu. Place looked nice and I genuinely wanted to enjoy the food, but I'd recommend just going to the HappyLemon nearby for quality boba and dessert. read more

It's a cute cafe and they provide board games to play. But the food is very disappointing. Cheap utensils, everything served in plastic or cardboard. Croffles are fluffy but the toppings are very cheap and lazily made. (Nutella comes chunky). Their milk tea options sound interesting but were just as mediocre. Had high expectations but the food and plate-ing needs work. read more
