    We heard about Samba Bowls from friends. So, we decided to make the Sunday drive from Flint. Our experience did NOT disappoint. We tried the Olodum and the Samba Supreme bowls. These provided multiple flavor options for our first visit. From the moment we entered Samba Bowls, we felt welcome. The decor and music provide a perfect South American feel. Everything, including the bathroom, was pristine. The team members were kind and exceptionally patient as we made our decisions. The ladies were friendly, and they were exceptionally fast in preparing our bowls. Presentation was second only to flavor. The bowls looked exactly like professional pictures taken for any food advertisement. We almost didn't want to eat them as to mess up how beautiful they looked when presented to us. Then, we took our first bites. There is no doubt the ingredients are fresh and of the best quality. The flavors were so abundant, and the combinations of ingredients were absolutely delicious. We shared two 12 oz bowls and left completely satisfied by palate and satiety. Thank you, Samba Bowls for a wonderful experience. We can't wait to come back to try more flavors.

    I think this is one of the most authentic açaí I have ever tried inside the US. I 100% recommend. The ambience is also a nice play, and the people are gentle.

    The açaí bowl was really tasty and overall good. I wish the ratio of toppings was better but overall still good considering it's a new spot in Ann Arbor. I think it's only going to get better and more popular.

    Awesome new place in Ann Arbor! Authentic Brazilian healthy fruits! Great staff, nice space to hang out with friends.

    Caught my eye as I was walking down the street. At first glance the interior was very clean and trendy. Was curious about certain items on menu and the owner gave me samples, all very delicious! Healthy and nutritious food available here! Will come again!

    Had a small bowl build your own.

    Perfect combination of very tasty Açaí Bowl, good service and nice ambience. By far my favorite Açaí bowl. Taste, creaminess, smoothness are miles away of everything I have ever tasted in Michigan.

    Before being devoured!

    Cute winter cups! Loved the boba rolling another boba down the snowy hill hahah…read more Came right at opening at 12pm. The employee was friendly! Love my order of milk tea with boba. The large doesn't quite feel so large :0p But everything always tastes so great from the milk tea flavor to the boba texture and taste!! Nothing beats CoCo's!! They also gave free cute boba stickers, one per a customer :0)

    I visited CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice after having a weekday lunch with a former co-worker. We don't…read morehave this boba tea chain in my hometown as the nearest location is over 100 miles north. It was a snowy afternoon so the customer volume was likely lower than usual at the shops of The Courtyard in Ann Arbor. The suite had a bright orange awning and about ten tables of various sizes for seating. Several power outlets were available along one wall for students to plug in their electronics and hang out because this business was across from a large college campus. Two self-service kiosks were at the counter where you could place an order. A menu board was hanging on the wall to the left for quick reference. Just drinks were served here as no food was offered. The categories were milk tea, fruit tea, slush, chocolate, yakult, macchiato, fresh milk, and tea. Six recommended choices with photos were listed at the top of the board. I selected the second one which was the Tropical Special. This drink was from the fruit tea category which was likely where I would have made a selection anyway. Passionfruit green tea with pearls and coconut jelly were the ingredients. I requested light ice and normal sweetness. The tea flavor wasn't strong, and the pearls were chewy and clumped together on the bottom of the cup. The jelly was extra filler that added more texture. The price was at least two dollars less than what I would have paid for a similar product at one of my local haunts. I gave a 3.5 star rating for my experience at CoCo Fresh Tea & Juice.
