Crema's Take

CoCo's is a charming Taiwanese cafe in Austin that seamlessly blends authentic comfort food with creative specialty drinks, from silky milk teas and matcha creations to generously portioned shaved ice desserts that won't break the bank. The welcoming, spacious interior makes it ideal for lingering over a slow coffee or meal with friends, though you can also grab something quick if you're in a rush, and their late opening hours mean you can satisfy those cravings whenever inspiration strikes. What keeps regulars coming back is the genuine warmth of the service paired with honest, delicious food that feels like a rainy-day refuge.

I love this cafe but today i was pretty disappointed as i had ordered extra pork and got only TWO pieces when i was home. Normally the portions for the shrimp and pork noodle soup have 4 or 5 pieces of pork but today they were pretty stingy and i only got two AND we paid extra 🫠. Will come back but this is the second time this has happened when it comes to ordering food online or getting to go boxes. Thai drink was good but not happy about their protein portions.

Our plan was canceled due to rain and we were just walking around the area looking for comfort food. Ended up wounding up at this cafe without meaning to. The food was DELICIOUS!! Authentic Taiwanese fried chicken and fried pork chop rice. The noodle was also a hit. The most surprising component is actually the complimentary soup. It was just like the soup I have in my hometown Taipei. Very delighted to find this cafe. Shave ice to end our meal was also above my expectation. Will be back next round to Austin.

We came to Coco’s Cafe for the first time to enjoy a Father’s Day sweets treat, and it did not disappoint! Their large bowl of shaved ice was only $6—what a deal! The portion was generous, and they didn’t skimp on the toppings either. Every bite was refreshing and flavorful, perfect for a warm day. To our surprise, they also served us free soup with our order, which was a cozy and thoughtful touch we didn’t expect at a dessert spot. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, and the service was friendly throughout. It’s always nice to find a place that offers great value without compromising quality. Whether you’re looking to cool off with something sweet or just hang out with friends and family, Coco’s Cafe is worth a visit. We had a lovely time and will definitely be back. Cheers! 🥂

I can't believe it took me so long to try Coco's Cafe. Coco's is a cute, little Taiwanese comfort food cafe that also makes tasty teas, milk teas, and other Asian beverages. I stopped in for a weekday lunch. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. They have a free, self-serve vegetable soup for dine-in customers. Quite frankly, I could eat a whole bowl of that soup and be happy. They also have some condiments for your food like soy sauce, jalapeno soy sauce, chili paste, green onion, cilantro, and more. I got the Steamed Vegetable Dumplings and the Spicy Beef Noodle Soup. The dumplings were bigger than I expected and super tasty. The dough was soft and the side sauce matched perfectly. The noodle soup was absolutely wonderful. I didn't make a single flavor change to it. The noodles were thick and chewy and the broth was ginger-forward. The amount of beef in the soup was unreal too. I barely made a dent in the food before getting full and ended up taking a ton home for leftovers. I really can't wait to go back and try more items off of their menu.

First time coming here was great! The interior was much nicer than the outside may appear. It was very clean and there is a ton of seating available. Service was also incredibly friendly. The boba was very good. Portion sizes are great and the tapioca was sweet and made perfectly. The spicy beef noodle soup was delicious. Amazing portion size, came out quickly, and was full of flavor. The noodles were tasty and the beef was very delicious as well. I'm not usually a spicy person, but this level of spice was perfect for me. Spicy enough to have bold flavor, but I wasn't sweating nor was my tongue burning. Also, the temperature it was served at was perfect (I don't like when my soup is too hot to eat, but here it was perfect!!) The condensed milk buns and the fried chicken were good as well. Other than the food, they have a small selection of trinkets that are so cute!! It was fun to be able to shop while waiting for my food. Overall the food was really tasty and was pretty authentic. Service was so friendly and nice, I will definitely be back!!!!
