    Drove by today to get my bday drink from Coco Playa. Ended up having a fun conversation with Haley about Love Island (they had some Love Island inspired tip cups that were very funny). Not only was Haley a pleasure to just talk to, she also made me feel very special and wrote a nice message on my lid. Thank you for adding a highlight to my bday!

    I stopped over here for a lil Saturday morning dose of coffee and sweets, and I actually quite liked my drink. I don't remember what it was called but it had macadamia in it. Now, the drink didn't taste like what I ordered, but whatever I got was really good! The Reese's cookie that I got to accompany my coffee, though? Wayyyyy tooooo sweet. (I didn't know that was a thing!) it's not bad tasting, but just very very sweet for my liking. I'll definitely come back for the coffee, but maybe l get a different cookie next time.

    Chocalate chip cookie
    Aileen H.

    Easily, THE BEST chocalate chip cookie in San Diego! It was THICK, CHEWY AND SOFT. I loved it! There is a drive-thru and a walk-up window. This joint has a local, casual, retro vibe which I loved. There are tables on site if you decide to eat there. The set up looks more like a car wash but really good quality cookies. I would love to try their drinks next time.

    Turtle Bay Cold Brew
    Ren G.

    I've been wanting to try this place for so long and am so glad we finally got to stop by! It's drive thru only so there's no hassle of needing to get out of your car anymore to order; however, you can opt to place your order online and pick up your goodies from their window in front too. Some things to keep in mind from what we've discovered: (1) they don't have any decaf options if you're getting coffee, so make sure you're ready to get caffeinated when you come here; (2) their sizes for iced coffee are gigantic--a large drink is 32oz! What we tried: Orange Blossom Mocha (from spring menu) - 3.5/5 Strawberry Sweetheart Matcha (from secret menu) - 3/5 Turtle Bay - 4/5 One & Only - 4/5 Overall, I enjoyed their cold brew options way more than the other two we got. We chose to have them neat rather than nitro, and I loved how bold that coffee flavor was on both drinks. They weren't too sweet either! The Orange Blossom Mocha was more heavily on the mocha side, which was fine, but I think I was expecting more of the orange flavor infused into the drink rather than just being on the soft top, while the Strawberry Sweetheart Matcha was just too light on the matcha flavor for me. Next time we visit, we're definitely trying their dirty sodas!

    Beach, Please
    Jacquelyn M.

    Wanted a quick drink and we were in the area so we decided to stop by. We ordered a Beach, Please which is a Dr. Pepper with vanilla crème and cherry, but we got it with diet Dr. Pepper instead. The walk-up window was confusing because there were two sides, but no one was there to help us. We had to go around and that's when one of the workers saw us to help take our order. We got our drink very quick and enjoyed it in the outdoor seating. Overall the drink was solid, but I wouldn't go out of my way to have it.

    Protein Cookie they'll hopefully bring back
    Halle J.

    Humbly asking the leader of coco playa to bring back the protein cookie I went once a week for this cookie and it was sooooooo good (I went to the location shared with Acai Carioca). Service was always fast, friendly and helpful; the girl working the front is always so nice :)

    Pinay M.

    The best coffee! I ordered the Newport and danish cheese, it's delicious. This might be my new favorite coffee shop from now on. Service is fast and it's a cute coffee shop. I've heard this is their one and only location in Point Loma (unsure).

    Cookie box. Left to right: chocolate chip, Dubai chocolate, blue playa, cookies and cream.
    Stormy R.

    My husband and I have had our eye on this place for about a year but every time we were in the area it was either closed or we were too full from dinner nearby to fit anything sweet. I'm glad we tried it! We got a box of 4 cookies with the chocolate chip, Dubai chocolate, blue playa, and the cookies and cream. Dubai chocolate is all the craze rn but it was our least favorite. The best was the blue playa with the cookies and cream coming in at a close second. The chocolate chip was excellent too. These are waaaay better than the cookies at Crumbl. They were rich, buttery, and chewy and crispy in all the right spots. We also got the Beach, Please dirty soda, which was good, but I've had better. We like the dirty sodas at Homestyle Hawaiian better. Prices are a little steep, but what place isn't these days?

    Celebration Cake Cookie
    The Big Gorger ..

    Hey guys, The Big Gorger here, I have been coming to Coco Playa for awhile now and can I just say, absolutely amazing place. Influenced by the SLOMW (Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives) to come and try since we don't have a Swig in town but who needs that when we got Coco Playa. The workers are always so nice and helpful. I personally get the "Layla" drink which is Mountain Dew, mixed with coconut cream, mango puree, and strawberry puree. I sub out Mt Dew for Sprite though. They have DELICIOUS pretzel bites and cookies. Had two new cookies such as the Ube and Celebration Cake as you can see in the pictures. Both amazing as well. Overall, one of my favorite places to go after a nice tan at the beach / pool. Shoutout to Coco Playa for being the best. Best, The Big Gorger

    Really nice packaging for the four cookies I got
    Cheryl G.

    What's not to love about coffee and cookies? The concept is great. I've driven by here so many times and I'm glad to have finally tried it. It's drive-through only and they've got a large coffee menu. I didn't try any of the coffees because it was kind of late in the day, but they were reasonably priced and there were a lot of options. I had a little bit of sticker shock initially when I bought the cookies. I got four and it was $20. But then the cookies were handed to me in this gigantic box that was quite heavy. I opened it up and there were four gorgeous cookies inside. I didn't get to try the Biscoff cookie dough because it was out that day, but we got a chocolate chip, a cookies and cream, a Dubai chocolate and a peppermint bark. All four were super tasty but I'm not kidding when I say it took three days for us to eat them. They held up well, just got to the last cookie today and it still tasted fresh.

    Del Mar iced espresso with brown sugar
    Linda G.

    This place is visually appealing and offers a great variety of drinks, from coffee to fruity energy options. Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn't sure what to order, but the customer service was excellent. The staff member was very helpful and took the time to explain a few drink options. I decided to try the Del Mar, which is made with espresso shots and brown sugar. Unfortunately, the coffee had a fruity flavor that didn't pair well with the brown sugar--it just wasn't my favorite. For a cookie and a large drink, the total came out to $15

    Beach Please Blue Playa
    Nick C.

    On the way out of OB I wanted to get something caffeinated but fun. This is what Coco Playa is about. They have dirty sodas so I tried my first one being the Beach Please. Its a unique drink. If you ever had a New York Egg Cream or kind of like a Root Beer Float without all the ice cream its like that. Very tasty and creamy. Very pleasant. I also opted for a La Jolla or Venice which was very very good. This wasnt Starbucks so the coffee to creamer and mix ratio was a lot better as it was balanced for more coffee. The SO had the Matcha Latte. Which was claimed the best they ever had. Lots of caramel drizzle on this. But still wasnt overly sweet. I also got a cookie. I had to know what does a $5 cookie taste like? Well is it worth it? I got the oddest one the Blue Playa. Theres a lot going on in this cookie. Lots of textures. Its not too sweet and the flavors and cookieness is packed. Was it a $5 cookie? I do not think so. It was scrumptious. I think it should be around the $3.50-$4.25 range. I didnt feel robbed after.

    Jack M.

    I stopped in here for an iced coffee and with a splash of milk. They didn't have one on the menu except their signature flavors with more sugar and flavors that I need or want, so I settled for an iced Americano. The iced Americano was decent, but definitely watered down given the manner the iced coffee was made. As a result, that robust coffee flavor was quite limited. Initially, they also put a limited amount of milk in the coffee, so I had to ask for more. The young lady at the window was friendly. There's no inside seating but there's some on the outside. This place seems to run mostly off their drive thru.
