CoCo

I LOVE CoCo Fresh Tea! It’s my absolute favourite bubble tea store and practically the only place that I would go out of my way to buy some delicious milk tea. I personally think the milk tea here is really fragrant with a perfect ratio of tea to milk. I also love how they have milk tea options with a variety of toppings included already such as:
3 Guys (my go to) which contains milk tea with pudding, grass jelly and tapioca
Bubble Gaga — passion fruit tea with coconut jelly and tapioca
The CoCo Fresh Tea team here in Mississauga makes the drinks really well and fast and they also have really good customer service! Please continue to expand and open more stores CoCo!

Came to this coco couple times cuz it’s beside my boyfriends house. Love their drinks and the staff were friendly. Satisfied.

I was around the area and wanted to try something other than Bubble Republic so I decided to check this place out!
The interior décor is very cool, and unlike Chatime, I felt customer service here was much better. They had a special for their Medium Green Matcha Bubble Tea so I decided to take advantage of the bargain…
To be honest, it was a bit too sweet for my liking, but it was good nevertheless. I’d love to return and try out another flavour! Hoping to update my review then… but otherwise I would recommend this place. I mean, this place apparently is the largest bubble tea chain in the world… there’s a reason why, right?

From the three most popular bubble tea places there are in Mississauga: Chatime, Bubble Republic, and CoCo, I must say…
I’M IN LOVE WITH THE CoCo (i got it for the low, low, haha! just kidding)
I’ve always seen my friends snap pictures of their drinks from here and I’ve always wondered why. Was it that good? Indeed it is.
When entering, I realized it was really clean so that’s a good sign. As for their service it’s pretty fast as well. Weekdays they’re not usually busy as there are only around 1 – 2 people ahead of me. I’ve tried 3 drinks from here so far and they are:
CARAMEL MILK TEA: My absolute favorite. In fact, when I came here today they were apparently sold out of this! *sobs* If you’re a fan of coffee then you’ll definitely like this. I don’t know why but it doesn’t really taste like caramel but more of a mixture of coffee and milk tea but it’s a wonderful mix.
2 LADIES: This would be my second choice if there wasn’t any caramel milk tea. In this drink, you can definitely taste the milk tea which is great. My only concern with this drink is that the pudding is clumped at the very bottom so to actually get it in the drink, you really need to mix up with your straw. If not, you can just slurp it out piece by piece (which is what I do).
MANGO SMOOTHIE: I was surprised when I first had this because the mango tasted VERY fresh. The beverage wasn’t over sweetened and it was just perfect. In any mango beverages you some-​what expect chunks of mango but just to let you all know, there isn’t any!
The only thing I dislike about the drinks are how much ice they put in each beverage because by the time the ice melts, it’ll definitely make your drink water. HOWEVER, you can modify your drink with how much sugar or ice you would like in it. I tend to usually go for Less Ice and 30% Less sugar. In addition I would like to commend this place with regards to their tapioca. Yum yum yum! Their tapioca is great because it’s chewy but not not too tough.
In the end, if you are ever in dire need of some bubble tea, this is a location you should totally take the time to check out.

When I visited CoCo for the first time in China, I was amazed. 1 CAD got me a large milk tea with tapioca, and the tea was amazing! So, when I heard that a CoCo was opening up within 5 minutes from my house, I got really excited.
I didn’t know when I first visited CoCo that it was the largest bubble tea chain in the world. I always thought that was Chatime. But I did notice that when I was in China, CoCo was everywhere like Tim Hortons… I should’ve known.
The first thing I realized at their Canadian location was that their drinks werent $ 1. #sad #aspexected
They had a top 10, much like every other bubble tea chain. However. I noticed that their top 10 was more diverse than other chains’. They have drinks of the month, just like Chatime. However, instead of having just one item at $ 3.99, they had a selection of drinks all at $ 3.99. I tend to make my flavour decisions based on these sales, and as a result I’ve gotten to try quite a variety of their drinks.
My favourite thus far is the caramel milk tea with tapioca. I’ve had it both hot and cold and it’s been great both times. Their original milk tea is also very good and another item i’d recommend.
The draw to CoCo is that they do everything great. The tea flavour was strong, and the tapioca was firm and chewy but not too hard. These things are key for me, and CoCo is currently my favourite milk tea spot as a result.

Great location to rival the more and more expensive Bubble Republic across the street. Though the menu is fairly small. the drinks were alright!
I tried the Lemon King and this was preetty good! Tastes like lemonade. which I think it was. but they give you a full lemon inside? Cool.
I’d certainly recommend giving it a shot as more bubble tea joints are opening up around the city. however I still end up at ChaTime but will occassionally come back here when I am bored of my roasted milk tea!
PS. Way better then the pathetic excuse we have called GreenGrotto

Good selection of tea, and great tapioca. Im really picky with my tapioca — it needs to be chewy enough but not too chewy. For the price and quality of tea, Coco is the best place in Mississauga right now (better than Grotto and Chatime imo). Id say go for the 3guys or 2ladies, its a great combo. You may want to ask for less sugar though. Not as much seating vs Grotto, more of a grab and go place.

This place is so cute! The sounds of romantic k-​pop and 90’s love songs welcomed us right when we walked in. The interior is bright, colourful, and well-​lit. The spacing is kind of narrow, and during peak times, it can be a bit difficult to grab a table. But otherwise, service was friendly, ambiance is bright and cheerful, and the bubble tea itself was decent.
We visited on a Friday night, and it was packed! As of the date of this review, on February 2016, they’re currently having a special where you can purchase a Large drink for $ 3.99 (from a selection of flavours listed on a small ‘Specials’ board by the cash register). I ordered a hot Tapioca Chocolate. While it was a bit watery (think of diluted hot chocolate), the flavour itself didn’t taste as artificial I thought it would be and it wasn’t overtly sweet either, which is always a plus for me! Also on the plus side, the tapioca bubbles were delicious and chewy. Decent bubble tea.
This place is located just a couple doors down from Emerald Chinese Restaurant, which we frequent for dim sum all the time. Will come back to CoCo whenever I’m in the area.
With tax, my total came to around $ 4.50.

I first tried CoCo tea at their Scarborough location because of a recommendation from a friend and I’m glad I did. It was added to my ever-​growing list of bbt places to go. When we found out there was a Mississauga location, we had to try it as well. As of today, I’ve been to 3 different locations and it’s safe to say, they are consistent with their bbt across all.
Drinks: I’ve tried many different options on the menu and haven’t had a bad drink yet. I will mention that their drinks are sweeter than others so I lessen my sugar to either 30% or 0% depending on which topping I go for. The Sago has to be one of my favourite toppings and I haven’t found it at any other bbt place yet. They soak it in sugar so it’s best to get 0% sugar if you’re getting it. I’m more of a Jelly and Pudding kind of gal but I can enjoy their tapioca once in a while as well. It’s not too soft or too hard. I would compare it to Chatime’s tapioca.
The milk tea is a nice balance of tea vs. milk for my taste. You get more of the tea flavour and it isn’t overpowered by milk. Their juices and fruit teas are also strong in flavour (in a good way) but I would recommend less sugar or none.
Interior: This location is pretty small and only has a few tables. It’s brightly lit though and very clean (it is new afterall). They can fit maybe 15 people or less so if you’re looking to hang out with a large group of friends, take the drinks to someone’s house. It’s more of a take-​out location.

We ordered the CoCo milk tea and Bubble tea, regular sugar and regular ice. Service was quick.
We found the taste and pricing to be on par with Chatime’s, which had thus far been my favourite of the bubble tea options in the GTA — so I’ll be back again!
Their Vicinity deal is 1 free drink after 10 drinks, whether eating in or take-​out.
P. S. What is it with most people recommending less sugar?! The sweeter, the better in my opinion :)

Confessions: This is going to sound pretty bad, but I have their bubble tea at least once a week.

Hidden behind Mastermind, across the parking lot, CoCo is apparently «World’s Largest BBT Brand». How come this is the first time I’m hearing about it? Then again, I’m not a typical Asian person who frequents these places anyway, so I wouldn’t know!
Space itself is narrow, but deep, with cash counter located in the back of the unit, behind a wall. Strange set-​up. There were 6 – 8 tables max., so as per the other reviews, it’s more of a takeout.
Just like Chatime, you can customise your sugar/​ice level. And they also had a couple of ‘specials’ going on: Black Tea Macchiato & Red Bean Milk Tea, both available in large size for $ 3.99. Drinks were ok, didn’t blow me away, 30% sugar level still seemed quite sweet to me!
Thinking about it, CoCo is probably the most similar to Chatime. As a person who doesn’t frequent bbt places (too much sugar, I’m not a fan of powdered, artificial drinks), I really can’t say what sets this place apart from other bbt places.
Parking might be tricky during peak dim sum hours as it shares the same lot as Emerald and it’s located right on the corner of an L-​shaped plaza. Half the spaces are reserved for Mastermind and the other Wilcox lot is quite a distance.

One of the better bbtea shops around. I got to try it a couple of times. Love their pearls, their teas are not diluted like some shops and not overwhelmingly creamy either. I like their 3 guys and their fruity drink selections. I liked the lemon king but because of that ridiculous gigantic fruit they call a lemon thrown into the drink that takes up otherwise one/​third of a perfectly good cup… that’s just space wasted for potentially more bbtea… I wouldn’t order it again because of the value lost. Love the place!!! Will be coming back as long as they as still good and opened

Great to see CoCo open up in sauga. Another bbt place to choose from! Store is not too big and seats are limited. I would see this location as a grab’n’go kind a place. This plaza is quite busy with restaurants, businesses, and offices so parking may get difficult at times. The location itself is central Mississauga which is an excellent spot.
During grand opening, they have a bogo special but their free drink is the regular milk tea with tapioca. As I did not know what to get, my brother got the 3 guys while I got the regular bubbletea. After we got our drinks, my brother pretty much immediately tried the drink. I waited until I got home but he said the tea was bland. I took a sip and it was definitely not what I would’ve expected. He said the pudding and grass jelly was okay which is good. In my regular bubble tea I added red bean. I personally thought the bubbles were too chewy and the red bean could have been cooked longer. I would probably get something else next time and avoid tapioca and red bean. The milk tea was definitely bland lol.
There are other drinks so I’m still a fan and besides they just opened so I’ll give them another shot!

Drinks were okay but the customer service was pretty bad. If I was to get a milk tea with tapioca they would of given another small one for free but because I wanted grass jelly they didn’t. Overall disappointed with the service.

First time trying this place and got the 3 guys bubble tea. Service was reasonably fast. The bubble tea had very good pudding and grass jelly. The tapioca was freshly soft, and the milk tea is quite good. I haven’t tried the other ones yet but will sure come back again. The milk tea isn’t as good as Easy Drink Easy Go in my opinion but overall with the toppings I’d give it ⁴⁄₅. Price is about 6 $ for this drink in a large size which is usual comparable to other places, but worth the money.

Wow so many bubble tea places open now in sauga! I’m in bbt heaven lol.
This place is located right in central sauga, so a lot closer for me to go to. I have to admit I’ve gone the last 3 days in a row…
They have a grand opening sale until the 18^th where you get a free medium pearl milk tea with purchase of any of their top 10 drinks.
So far I have tried regular milk tea, mango yakult (really yummy!), taro sago milk tea, mixed juice macchiato (passion fruit and mango green tea with milk snowcap), and lemon king. They were all amazing with no complaints. I was surprised how chewy and perfect the consistency of the sago was. I was scared it would be too soft since they are so small. Will continue to try more.
There is only 3 tables for seating, so definitely more of a take out spot than sit in.

I was excited to hear that a new bbt place was open in Mississauga! I’ve been to one of their NYC locations so having one close to home is great.
My sister and I dropped by this afternoon to try out their drinks. They currently have a promotion where you get a free bbt when ordering from the top 10 menu. We got the lemon king, bubble gaga, and two free bubble teas. The cashier was very friendly and knowledgable about the drinks. I got to try a bit of the lemon king and it was a refreshing lemonade. The bubble tea was good but nothing different from other competitors. Next time I’ll try something different!
PS: There are only a few tables so this is more of a take out spot. Also, they also use the Vicinity point cards.

Come here for the opening special — until dec 18! If you order any top 10 drinks, you can get a free medium milk tea! I ordered the «3 guys» and it was delicious — you get milk tea with tapioca, grass jelly and pudding! Also got a hot red bean milk tea and i tasted the red bean! It was recommended to shake the drink for 20 – 30 seconds to release he full flavour!!!
Only downfall is that they put the hot drink with a cold drink plastic seal, so it was spilling on me as I was walking — there was barely any room in there. Also, the cup was beginning to dissolve around where I was drinking from…
Overall, a ⁴⁄₅ for the experience and flavour.

Finally a CoCo on the west end of GTA! Mississauga is has really expanded in restaurant and café options of the Asian flair. And another that accepts vicinity!
As part of their buy one get one free promo (buy 1 drink from their top 10, get a regular milk tea w/​tapioca free), we picked up a regular 3 guys (milk tea + tapioca, grass jelly, pudding) and the regular milk tea.
Their bbt is super sweeeet! I feel like their less sugar, would be the same as a regular sweet at Chatime.
Staff was super friendly; greeted us as we walked in, even as they were busy with other orders. They took their time to give us a brief on their menu and current promo.
Not as much seating compared to Green grotto, Chatime or Bubble Republic — more a grab & go type of place.
It’s not the busiest plaza of Mississauga, but being located a few units down from Emerald, that should help drive business.
Their promo runs from Dec. 8^th to 18^th, be sure to check it out! I know I’m definitely making this my Holy grail bbt for now.
