This is a large chain that has pretty standard offerings. I got the Three Guys option, which has boba, egg custard, and grass jelly. The milk tea was good but I thought the grass jelly portion was quite limited. In LA, they gave a lot more of the condiments. This location is at the busiest intersection of Flushing so there are millions of people streaming by.

In a land that was once abundant with bubble tea and quickly saturated, Coco is one of the few survivors that have remained relevant. Perfect location in the middle of flushing, this story is easy for everyone to get to. However because of it’s convenience it always seems busy. I always get the Two Ladies(bubble tea with pudding). The bubbles are perfectly cooked and aren’t too sweet. The pudding is nicely flavored adding a smooth taste to the sweet tea. The hot bubble tea isn’t bad either. The hot tea never seems to degrade the quality of the bubbles as you would normally see. I always get my drinks with 30−50% sweet. If you get it at full sweetness it could get a bit cloying.

The bubble tea from here taste good. It’s very refreshing and it’s pretty cheap too. It’s a great drink on your way to go to the 7 train. I would recommend it, like literally all of their drinks.

Busy. Fast. Efficient. Everything you expect from your quick grab and go drink, except Ms mermaid at SBux would always get your drink order wrong. Been coming to this spot for years, there always a line whether rain or shine… Fortunately they are efficient enough to never mess up my order. REC: 3 guys. And think gourmet bubble tea.

Wow– try the two ladies! The milk tea could have been stronger but the tapioca is perfect and the pudding is fantastic! Something different to shake up the plain’ ol bubble milk tea.

$ 3.75 for a large milk tea, no boba, half sweet, light ice. Not cheap, but I guess pretty average price wise. Often times when I request half sweet, it takes like water. Here, it still tasted good. Either they just gave me regular milk tea, or they don’t skimp on their products. Ignorance is bliss.

I love how this place is so fast and efficient. I usually get regular milk tea with tapioca but this time I got caramel. Not bad but I wouldn’t quite call this flavor caramel. It tastes kind of roasted/burnt chocolate(?).

Why doesn’t any place have peach green tea!!! It was my staple go-to drink when I’m in California. One star off for the phone conversation I had with the employee(to confirm their hours on black friday). She sounded so disinterested. It made us laugh at how ridiculous her replies were. However, it was 12AM and we needed to take advantage of being in Queens/Flushing. When we arrived, we were surprised at how many people were waiting. It’s almost like an outdoor stand. There aren’t any spaces inside to sit– they do all the«cooking» inside and call out the order numbers for pick up. Prices were super cheap, considering we were in NY. I got the passionfruit green tea with boba. Boba wasn’t sweet but it was still soft and chewy. It was on the sweeter side, but it was still pretty good! I recommend getting your tea with less ice. I’m sure who had picked up the phone but most of the people working seemed alert and friendly. Service was prompt and we received our drink almost immediately.

I don’t understand how people get smalls at CoCo it’s literally two sips… i’m a huge fan of coco. i feel like there drinks are always consent… aspect for this locations… since this place is always busy and the hours are open late compare to the other bubble tea shops… there’s always people ordering and forming a huge line late at night. i was here around 8 pm and it was very busy and took a long time to get one hot black sugar latte drink with bubbles… i asked for hot they gave me a cold latte loaded with ice… I personally didn’t mind since they offer to remake my beverage… but they basically microwave my drink in a hot latte cup… how do i know this… well… the cup was warm but inside i could still taste the bits of ice that was melted in my drink… if they had just made me a brand new drink i wouldn’t have been so disappointed… i was looking forward to drinking some hot tea with chewy bubbles … it still tasted good despite of the mistake… really wish they weren’t so sloppy with orders… BUT the place seemed clean for a corner shop and if you like drinking tea late at night I suppose this is as good a place as any…

Very busy store since it’s located on the corner of Main/Roosevelt and is footsteps away from the train station! There was a huge line when I got here but the workers were all really efficient and I got my order very quickly. I got the 3 Guys drink, which is basically Coco’s version of Vivi’s 3Q since they’re both milk tea with tapioca, pudding, and grass jelly. In my opinion, the one here at Coco was way better. The milk tea had the perfect amount of sweetness without being too artificial tasting. The one at Vivi was just way too bland. I also liked the tapioca here more since they weren’t as hard to chew on. The pudding and grass jelly were about the same and added great textures to the drink. Overall, I enjoyed the drink I got here at Coco’s and would recommend the 3 Guys drink for those looking to try more unique flavors of bubble tea!

Definitely overpriced. 1) Bubbles are smaller than other bubble tea places. 2) Price is higher than other bubble tea places. 3) Ice cubes account for ¼ of the drink. 4) No daily specials. Welcome to Flushing, the Gentrified edition. The only thing that they got going is the prime location right next to one of the staircases leading downstairs to the 7 train. Not to mention that it is on the corner of Roosevelt and Main street. Foot traffic is tremendous. However, trying it once here and only one is more than enough. Unless, your 5am craving of bubble tea hits then this 24⁄7 place might just be your savior. I think I’ll just tame the craving until morning. SKIP.

There was no wait and I got Jasmin green tea bubble milk tea. The tapioca was just right. I’ve had some where it was hard and it wasn’t too chewy where it caught in your throat. Everything tasted fresh!

I’m in love with the Coco. Get it here for the low-low. Get the Passion Iced with Tapioca. Those bubbles really hold me ova. I’m in love with the Coco. The line here gets kinda long. It’s on the corner near the train stop. But that ain’t gonna make me stop, waiting in the long line. I love bubble tea long time.

Coco sadly disappointed me, even though it as recommended to me by my friend who claimed it as a good chain in New York. DRINK: I got a red bean bubble tea, cold, medium size. I would say that the tea was weak, the ice was too much, and overall was too sweet for my taste. The tapioca and the red bean were cooked well, but I found myself sad at the end. SERVICE: Fast. Order in English or Mandarin. I’m used to my California bubble tea places with percent sugar and percent ice that keeps me a happy camper. Sadly, Coco doesn’t have that option and is a bit too standardized for me. Lots of options, two sizes, nowhere to sit at this location. It’s a fast option, but I left a bit disappointed.

Coco’s is a shining beacon in the middle of the night. It is a meeting point or waymark for anyone arriving at Main Street on the 7 Train. It shows you the Northeastern corner of Roosevelt Avenue and Flushing Main Street. Just like a car runs out of gas and slows down, I run out of bubble tea and do the same thing. It is just a tea stall, but means so much more. Plus, it is usually always open when everything else is closed. Any complaint that you have about Coco’s can be avoided with simple communication. For example; tea is too sweet? Well, ask for less sugar. Tea is too bland? Well, ask for it to be stronger. Not enough boba? Well, ask for more boba. Milk is lactose free? Well, ummmm you are shit out of luck on that one. I like to grab a tea from Coco’s and hop on the train. Because it is going to be a while until I arrive in midtown. The bubble tea gives me the energy and courage to brave the stenches of underground Herald Square at midnight, the drunk guy crapping himself at the end of the car all the way to LIC, and the other guy chasing me up the stairs on 35th Avenue and Broadway screaming at me in Creole and making kissy noises. The joys of New York City are all fully appreciated with a Coco’s bubble tea in hand to take the pain away.

Convenient location. Large variety of drinks available. Most of the time, a wait for a single bubble tea is no more than 3 mins, but sometimes, during weekends and the summer time, line gets long. Pretty good option for bubble tea in Flushing.

Good bubble tea stall in Flushing open late. And I do mean stall, since it’s literally just a pick up window. The tapioca pearls are consistently soft and not overcooked and the milk tea is sweetened just enough. But in a town where 2 for 1 deals on bubble tea are abundant, this place could do better to differentiate.

Another staple bubble milk tea place among the masses of them popping up and out of Flushing Main/Skyview Mall. My top choices for drinks from Coco: 1. The Two Ladies, who doesn’t love two ladies?! Milk Tea(half sugar since I’m sweet enough already) Egg Pudding(drinkable egg tart, what I like to call it) Grass Jelly(I’ve had this stuff for most of my life and I still have no idea what this is, jelly made from grass?) 2. Pudding Milk Tea with red bean(half sugar) I like puddin’. Red bean is sweetened mash(how I reason with myself that this drink may be healthy with fiber etc) Coco on.

I’m in love with the CoCo! The lemon dunk with the black pearls made me dance in my car. They made my tea just how I like it; sweet yet balanced!
