I stopped by this coffee shop expecting caffeine, and instead got... an experience? The coffee was somehow both exactly what I needed and not at all what I thought I ordered. It tasted like focus, with subtle notes of questioning my life choices--in a good way. The atmosphere felt like a place where time either slows down or speeds up depending on how long you stare at your cup. The barista seemed to understand my order before I said it, which was comforting and mildly unsettling. I left more awake than when I arrived, but not entirely sure if it was because of the coffee or the existential clarity it provided. Either way, I'll definitely be back, unless I already am. read more

CocoBean Coffee - Best - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I'm a sucker for a pick me up after adulting and was in the mood for a coffee or milk tea. I am glad I came because CocoBean is both cute and cozy. The area was clean and the cute interior makes for a good social media photo op. The menu has good variety and explorative flavors that encourages repeat visits. I got a Mango Milk Tea and was not disappointed. It gave a Mango Lassi vibe and was very refreshing. My only downside was the bottom of the drink tasted gritty and had a white residue left at the bottom. Also, I initially wanted the drink with light ice and this was my first encounter at a shop that charges extra for light ice (45 cents). Not a huge deal and I understand that companies incur more costs for light ice or no ice. Maybe I could justify the additional charge for getting the drink without ice, but I still wanted ice---just not a lot of it. I just would've like to have been told about it or seen some signage about the additional charge since the toppings and other add ons are listed out. I could've missed where it was listed out, but I don't think I saw anything written out. Nonetheless, after a few healthy gulps, I was sad that the drink was gone. I would come back to try other items. read more

CocoBean Coffee - Banana pudding matcha, and Ube matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Kept seeing this place pop up on yelp for Matcha so me and the wife decided to stop in. Man were we happy to try this place out. The staff was friendly and the place was small and cozy. We ordered an Ube Matcha and a Banana Pudding Matcha. Man and it didn't disappoint. The matcha flavor were stronger than most place but blend very well with the sweetness. The milk and ice cream gave it a smooth texture, which makes drinking it very pleasurable. They also have Vietnamese banh mi and egg waffle. The matcha menu consist of at least 10 different drink. If you like Matcha definitely come here and get a drink read more

CocoBean Coffee - Banana Pudding Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

So I legit planned to stop in, decided not to, drove by and then decided to come back and give them a try. Saying all that I'm so glad I did decided to turn around and go inside. I got the Banana Pudding Matcha Latte and it did not disappoint. It was so creamy and full of bananas and cookies. I'm not a fan of banana pudding in general but this was an amazing drink. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor. I took the top off the drink and had a few spoonfuls of the pudding. This drink shop is nicely decorated. It's got some seating and a few games. It's really a hidden treasure. CocoBean Coffee 9335 Center Lake Dr Charlotte, NC 28216 (Review 33 in 2025 and 876 overall) read more

CocoBean Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

It is kind of out of the way for me but I'd go once in a while because their banana pudding matcha is so worth it. The service is good. It is in a not so great area hence maybe why they don't get a lot of customers because everytime I come, there is usually never any customers there. I do like their backdrop, pretty purple decor. Plenty of parking, easy to find. A lot of drinks on their menu to choose from. read more

I can't even live life without seeing the viral banana pudding matcha latte on social media!! So, of course I had to make a visit, because I'm just a girl, a girl who happens to love banana pudding (and tolerates matcha)! Walked in to this cute little coffee shop which serves an array of drinks from boba tea, lattes, coffee and refreshers to name a few. They also had a few food items on the menu as well. The space is small, with a few tables to sit and enjoy your treat. Everything appeared to be clean. Service was quick. Ordered a pineapple refresher for my son and the banana pudding matcha latte for myself. The matcha latte was really good and the banana pudding was perfection, and actually had chunks of banana in it! I thought it would be too sweet, but it wasn't, it was just right. I ordered it as is but you could sub the milk for a non dairy option if you so choose to. The refresher was just okay to me, it could of been a tad bit sweeter, we weren't asked for our preference. It was loaded with chai seeds and other jellies which I typically like, but in this case it was a bit much. There were so many things that peaked my interest on the menu, so I could see myself coming back to try some other items. read more

Love this shop! They're so friendly, prices are reasonable, it's a cute place, their boba tea tastes great! Love supporting local shops!

Super cute and cozy spot. It's close to where I live and wanted to give it a try. 10/10 would recommend. The banana pudding matcha latte is super delicious. I typically ask the matcha to be a little sweeter than what it comes. I've gone back 3 times already. I 'm a matcha girl but will def be back to try something else. Please stop by if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed. read more

The employee that greeted me was very kind and informative. I ordered the banana pudding Matcha in the smaller size, which came with a scoop of banana pudding. I honestly would not order this again due to not being a huge banana lover. I was hoping to get a good amount of cookies within the pudding, but for those who love bananas, I think this will be a great treat. read more

I was super excited to find out this place has opened close to home. And met my expectations and BEYOND! Everyone was extremely friendly! Quick Service. Small place but great to grab a coffee/tea and take some cute pictures or grab n go! The menu was LARGE and I can't wait to try everything, lol. They even have bubble waffles and I CANT wait to try them! Prices are as expected $$$ Wish they had a loyalty program and opened a little earlier but besides that definitely 5 stars! Ube Coffee Latte was Fantastic, definitely very sweet even though I asked for lite sugar. My husband had the Sea Salt Iced Coffee, Fantastic! We are not big on very sweet things so will need to learn what to get that has lower sugar options as they don't have any Sugar Free options besides black coffee. It definitely was like a dessert coffee. Can't wait to go back! And try more... read more

The brown sugar boba was amazing! Not too much boba, and they add this foam to it that's pretty tasty. The service was also great

I ordered a lychee green tea from this place, and they made it extremely watery with barely any green tea. I went and asked them to modify it, but they told me they couldn't. I asked if they can add more green tea in it, and they still said no. Bad service, and not good product. I don't recommend. read more
