What a cute little place. Only 1 party allowed inside at a time. Bathroom is cute. We ordered 1 to share among 4. The ice is definitely different than Chinese shave ice. Somehow it tastes lighter. Kinda tricky to eat since it was still hot out felt like we were racing against the melting to eat it! It was tasty and I liked the little mochi balls hidden inside. Plenty of outdoor seating and luckily it was evening so the sun didn't feel that strong. Would be back!

OMG that hit the spot! Delicious, unique and totally worth it! First sip had me convinced - thank you Koko!

This place was such a disappointment. It took over 30mins to get this, it's like did you go to Iceland to get this ice??? The lady stated 10mins ..... Then on the menu this strawberry milk did not mention having matcha. As I was eating it, the center was green and it was matcha and gross. For $18 not worth it. And lastly they didn't even apologize for the extreme long wait. There's better places servicing this kind of dessert.

I came here one night after dinner wanting a very unique dessert. I'd never had Japanese shaved ice, and I'd heard that this the best version of it in all of Orlando. So I was pretty hyped. We pull in pretty late, but thankfully there is parking in their tiny little parking lot that they share with Kaya. We browse the menu, and their Classics all sound pretty good, but the seasonal they were offering was just too good to pass up, the Ube Coconut (Black sesame corn flakes, Milk or oat milk, Pandan jelly, Jackfruit, Sweet red beans). When I first saw this thing, first of all, it was stunningly beautiful, but secondly, I was worried that maybe all of the toppings were just sprinkled on top and that the shaved ice was going to be barren and boring within, towards the center. But boy was I wrong. Everything was mixed and layered well throughout the whole ball of happiness. Everything played its part in making it more interesting. The obvious crunch from the corn flakes, the sweetness of the pervasive oak milk, the chewy jellies, everything did its job. Very well-crafted dessert. So thanks to Koko, because my very first example of Japanese shaved ice was really a club banger, and I can't imagine it being any better anywhere else.

I love kakigori and always try to get one whenever I have the chance and Koko Kakigori is hands down the best I've ever had. Honestly, not even the ones I've tried in Tokyo compare! The ice quality was top notch, super light and perfectly shaved. I ordered the seasonal matcha and strawberry, and the flavors were incredibly well balanced, not overly sweet at all. The matcha, in particular, tasted like high-quality matcha, which made a huge difference. I was genuinely mind blown today and will definitely be stopping by for more kakigori whenever I'm in the area. They also offer coffee, which I'm excited to try next time!

Pros: Ambiance was so cute. A little building in the back of the Kaya property. Cute little Asian trinkets greeting your eye. Service was excellent. Very friendly guy at the counter, and the dessert was obviously crafted painstakingly from scratch. Loved it. The thing itself was delicious. Such finely shaved ice, and it was layered beautifully with all the toppings. Very good stuff. Cons: Not a single con. All good stuff. Tips: We got the ube coconut, which was packed full of delicious fillings. I feel like you need more toppings to make this giant ball of ice continuously interesting.

I can't wait to come back and try the shaped dice. This is a perfect spot to come delicious Matcha and adorable area.

Some of the most unique drink flavors in Orlando! One of my friends introduced this to me as "dessert drinks" and I'm SOLD. They have matchas, teas, Vietnamese coffee, fruit refreshers, and coconut chills. The coconut chills blew my mind. In particular the Corn chill- sweet corn cream, coconut Sago, and salted corn kernels. I love corn and attend every corn event in Central Florida which means I've tried tons of corn beverages, but they all taste not great. Koko's corn chill drink is exactly what I've hoped for! It tastes like light refreshing creamed sweet corn. The kernels come up the straw and add a pleasant crunch. It wasn't too sweet, not too creamy, not too chunky, literal perfection. Even my friends who are picky loved it. It's a seasonal drink, so make it over there while corn season still lasts. They regularly change their menu similarly to their lot sister, Kaya. Ingredients are based off what's fresh in season. The Merry Matcha with rosemary sage match, raspberry sauce, and honey cold foam is a completely different flavor profile as the corn chill. Very herbal, floral, and earthy. Absolutely delicious and I wouldn't consider it a dessert. Well balanced and not too sweet. Great morning matcha. The building is small, so it only allows one party at a time. They have a nice awning out front to stay away from the sun while you wait to order. Inside they have a few items for sale like ceramic kitchen wear and clothes merchandise. Once you order, you can wait under the giant Sacred Bodhi tree. I probably spelled that wrong, but it's stunning and they even have events like Jazz nights under that tree regularly.

Tiny little tea house on the back of Kaya, which used to be Dandelion Cafe. They still have the large outdoor space for events and markets, that's how I found this tea house. They are small, so they have a one party (2-3 ppl) at a time rule. I got the Matcha Green tea with Earl Grey syrup. It was delicious! It had a lovely Earthy flavor, and wasn't too sweet! They only use ceremonial green tea from Japan. I can't wait to go back!

Black Sesame & Strawberry Coconut Slush
Jamise C.

I had the most delicious Black Sesame & Strawberry coconut slush. I'd originally gone to get shaved ice, but didn't realize they stopped selling it after 8pm. I'm glad they did, be a use I would have never tried the coconut slush instead. I look forward to returning for the shaved ice.

Really happy I found this random kakigori shave ice place, especially in the Florida heat! It's so random that it looks like you're driving into someone's house, though there's a sign at the driveway entrance. There are only a couple of parking spaces available, though I don't think this place is too known, as we were the only ones there. There are numerous benches and tables outside, where you must eat. While I would generally fear for the heat melting any icy desserts I have in this type of weather, I believe you'll be able to eat it all very fast since it's that good. The interior is where you order and peruse merchandise. The ceramics are handmade, and some are purchasable. The flavor selection is mostly Asian-oriented, some seasonal, and all sound tempting. After you order, you're asked to select a dish to use for your kakigori. The carefully handcrafted kakigori comes out after a few minutes, and looks so fluffy. Due to the weather, of course it starts dripping, so take your photos fast! I love that they give you a straw, knowing how it melts to soup eventually. Now this was real kakigori, not the fake stuff you get from Disney. I got the strawberry matcha flavor, and it looked like a red drizzled cloud below a whipped matcha mountain with a strawberry tip. Every bite melted into heaven on my tongue. They layered the inside with surprises of the included toppings. Everything was so creamy, refreshing, delicately sweet, and delightfully multi-textured. I cannot wait to visit Orlando again, for this kakigori place will be top on my priority list.

Tried Koko Kakigori and got the Vietnamese iced coffee with cheese foam. The coffee was good and I liked the combination with the cheese foam, it was creamy and had a nice balance of sweet and strong coffee flavor. The shop itself is also really cute and has a cozy vibe. Overall, I enjoyed it and I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not sure it's somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again.

I loved the location as it highlighted SODO (South of Downtown) and brought a hipster sorta vibe. Access to the location was super easy and parking was plentiful. You could try for a spot in front of the suite (across from TJ Maxx) or do what I did and park in the Target parking garage. The goal of this pop up shop is to highlight local and small businesses and artisans . There was a little of something for everything: Project Pop and their organic popcorn Cloak and Dapper had clothing and grooming tools for purchase Wondermade marshmallows Rifle Paper Co. (Stationary and cards) Whisk & Bowl (cooking & kitchen tools) J&G Chocolates (yay for samples) Orlando Doesn't Suck t-shirts These are only a handful of the businesses that were represented. Spa Privee was also there providing mini massages. It's definitely a great way to check out all those small businesses you see around town but all in one place. I also noticed they are offering special craft/art workshops(for a fee) throughout the weekend event so definitely worth checking out the schedule. For purchases, you pay at the front table next to the front door. Unfortunately only credit cards are accepted so keep that in mind. Looks like they are bringing out a few food trucks for the weekend event open to the public so it's a great way to incorporate date night with food and shopping! Plus you can get cute photos taken of yourselves playing shuffleboard!

The folks from the Daily City have brought together an interesting mix of local businesses in a very hipster-ish format. This is a great chance to check out some smaller businesses you may miss otherwise. I was able to go to the preview night last night with some friends. The shop was easy to find on the corner by the Target and TJ Maxx. There was street parking and also parking in the Target garage. The shop is set up with creative window displays and signs outside to let you know you've found the place. The format of the shop wasn't what I was expecting at all. I was expecting something more like a traditional market with different stalls for each business. There was a variety of businesses represented but the products were displayed like a traditional store with all of the products mixed together, not divided by brand. Since I am a super planner I had looked at the Daily City site before going to the shop and had an idea of the products I was interested in buying. The selection in the shop turned out to be pretty small and there weren't salespeople, so I ended up not buying anything. I specifically wanted to pick up an "Orlando Doesn't Suck" shirt. I completely missed the shirts on my first pass through the store until someone pointed out a small selection of them in the bottom drawer of a dresser. It was a pretty display, but not very functional. I honestly didn't want to mess up the display, so I ended up skipping the shirt (maybe I'll go back later in the week and get one once somebody else has messed up the nice folding). There were a ton of great products, fancy marshmallows, cool clothes, flower headbands, stationary, etc. And if you don't feel like shopping, there's shuffleboard. It's a fun and unique shopping experience.
