Cocomero
709 S Wright St, Champaign, IL
Crema's Take
“Cocomero is a vibrant gathering spot in Champaign where creative frozen yogurt flavors and freshly made treats like taro pudding and mango waffles take center stage alongside bubble tea options. The welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere with plenty of comfortable seating makes it equally perfect for a quick solo indulgence or a lingering afternoon with friends, though it's worth confirming dietary needs directly with staff given some past communication gaps around dairy-free preparations.”

I asked three times if the "non-dairy" taro bubble tea was actually dairy-free. They assured me it was made with soy milk and non-dairy creamer. After drinking some, I started feeling bumps on the top of my mouth on my soft palate and I started feeling really hot. I googled taro powder, which often contains milk casein (protein) but it can be vegan. I decided to ask again and they showed me the bag. The first ingredient is a non dairy creamer, and the second was whey protein powder, which is derived from milk. I explained this to the manager (the girls called him without me asking and handed me the phone) who dismissed me and said he’d “never heard of that being a problem in 15 years.” I told him whey is from milk and he needs to change his menu. It's NOT DAIRY FREE. I iterated I have a dairy allergy and I was scared and didnt know what to do. No apology. No refund. No accountability. I ended up sick all night (and still not great the next day, as I write this), nearly went to the ER, and I’m not even from here - I was just in town for a conference. ⚠️ Do NOT trust this place if you’re dairy-free. At the very least, the taro drink is not safe.
A fun spot for a refreshing and quick treat, with a variety of frozen yogurt flavors and toppings, with cheesecake bites and taro pudding being personal favorites. Plenty of comfy seating, and the flavor hits the spot without feeling too heavy.
I love this place, it has a great atmosphere. The frozen yogurt flavors are some of the best I've tried in the area. Highly recommended! 💖
Cute place to meet with friends and grab a snack. The froyo and toppings were A+. I had the cake batter. The atmosphere was inviting. Great afternoon with my family and kid friendly. Don’t forget the frozen yogurt is charged per weight.
First time there yesterday. Ordered the Taro bubble tea and the mango waffles. Both were fresh and yummy. The place was clean and the staff were nice with beautiful smiles on their faces. Yes, I recommend!
