Coco Cafe Vanilla Latte Review

The dull off-white background is probably the best thing about this drink visually; it instantly reminds me of its flavor, vanilla. Otherwise, the feebly tropical and entirely plain design fails to stimulate either my eye's or stomach's appetite.

There is none of the lauded perfume to this Coca Cafe variety, but your first tasting exposes the product's slippery texture and deadened creaminess. In other words, a splash of reduced fat milk is not enough, and each forced sip leaves you wanting a splash of cream in its place. The coconut water brings disgusting dilution rather than any nuttiness, either to the vanilla vanilla flavor or the wan coffee taste. Far easier to complete (yes, this is a challenge), than the former Mocha variety, but neither can even touch last year's Espresso version.

Identical ingredients result in an identical buzz, exampled most finely here. Two hours is standard for both the line and for anything with 120 milligrams of caffeine. All in all, do not buy Coco Cafe Vanilla Latte; do not buy the Mocha Latte either. Buy their Espresso flavor instead.

Coco Cafe Mocha Latte Review

A tropical design that again depreciates its coffee and 120 milligrams of caffeine, an uninsulting but uninteresting paper flask. The oceanscape and anchor are preset solely to pictorially press its coconut water presence, but instead almost encourages you to keep on looking down the shelf.

The heavenly perfume of chocolate milk leaves you anxious to take the first sip, one of grand disappointment and disgust. Its body is one thinner than water with a touch of coffee bitterness, but harshly absent of any delicate coffee flavor. We should be enjoying the playful nuttiness from the former and the fatty flavor of the latter, and not this lustlessly sweet and diluted disaster. My palate rejected each forced gulp, a rare moment when a chaser is not just recommended, but necessary.

There is 120 milligrams of caffeine here, but that is 'bout it. You get a kick lasting two hours or so, but be doubtful that any chemical cocktail could have made it any better. On the whole, do not buy Coco Cafe Mocha Latte. Buy their Espresso flavor instead.

Coco Cafe Espresso Coconut Water Cafe Latte Review


Coco Cafe Cafe Latte is nothing but coconut water, a splash of milk, and a shot of espresso. It is not a crazy cocktail full of taurine or ginseng, simply 120 mg of caffeine. That is fine by me, being the funny farm escapee who runs around calling himself the Caffeine King. It comes to us in a paper transport, like a sophisticated version of those little milk cartons we all drank through grade school. Its design does not look bad necessarily, but the coffee and caffeine content feels downplayed, and it is not particularly pictorially interesting.

It smells potently of coffee, a sign suggesting it will not be tastelessly watery or incessantly milky. And it is not, rather a fairly strong espresso with playful notes of chocolate and coconut. It is creamy but it is not dominating nor does it dilute the decoction's strength, and it is sweet but not cloyingly so. All the elements are incredibly balanced, and even the coconut water is incorporated well. You can hardly taste it, and what you can detect is worked beautifully into the coffee's complexion. Overall, Monster and Starbuck's and all other companies can learn a lot about RTD coffee from this.

From 120 milligrams of caffeine comes a two hour buzz, fast acting but never reaching a great deal of strength. In the end, Coco Cafe Cafe Latte would have sounded stupid on paper, but its execution is almost flawless.
