    I almost forgot about this place until recently. I wanted to serve simple dessert for Chinese New Year dinner and remembered their Mochi Layers because it's pretty on a plate! My goodness, it's been a couple of years since I last visited. I ordered online and was ready for pick up when I arrive. Easy peasy! The restaurant look the same with few tables for dine in. I need to make an effort to come back for lunch or dinner.

    Lao style Papaya Salad
    Junelle F.

    We came here on a Sunday to try some Lao food. They also have an extensive drink menu ( boba teas). We ordered 4 dishes: Papaya Salad ( Lao style) which was very salty, Lao sausage, Grilled chicken which tasted old, Laab which ended up being sold out. Not sure if this was an off day since they had good reviews but service was awful. Our food seriously took 50 minutes, almost an hour. Then they told me they sold out of Laab when they served us the food at the table. They didn't even offer water. It was unfortunate. People before me were waiting a long time for their food. Overall, food was 7 out of 10 and service was 0/10.

    Pandan Coco Mochi. Has fried coconut flakes inside. Actually really good and savory
    Austin H.

    Visited the Cocomilk Cafe with a friend. First time visiting this spot and it is tucked away in a little plaza. The space is clean and well kept. It was nice and bright inside and decorated. They have a cool gashapon machine with several anime characters, like Pokemon, Hello Kitty, and Demon Slayer. Although it was sort of expensive, 15 bucks worth of coins which you can exchange at the cashier. They have it prepared in a cup for you, which is nice. The food came pretty quick and the food was simple and good. Nothing fancy. Just good and feels homemade. I got the grilled chicken platter and my friend got the heavenly beef with a side of the pandan coco mochi. The chicken was juicy and good and it was covered in a sweet sauce. My friend liked the heavenly beef. It wasn't dry. Each dish came with veggies, rice, and a small cup of like nuoc nam, which is sweet fish sauce with peppers. The pandan coco mochi was especially good. It had fried coconut flakes inside and tasted sweet and savory. Definitely a must try. They have way more desserts that I would come back for. Overall, this place was good and the food felt homey. The service was good too and the people are very nice and will answer your questions if you had any while ordering

    Crispy Belly& Laab
    Oliver L.

    I had the crispy belly and I really haven't had good crispy belly and rice like that in a long time! Perfect crunch, flavor and tenderness. My wife had the khaopoon and said it was good but the broth was a little thick for her liking. Sister in law had the Laab like she's had before and no complaints! Delicious, place was clean and bright. Would definitely come back next time I'm around!

    Cocomilk has cute desserts, and a variety of drinks. Located in a strip mall with ample parking. Great variety of food, desserts, and drinks at decent prices! I tried the Layers Dessert which came in a cute little box! Pretty good! It reminded me of the Vietnamese desserts but these were even prettier! Taste was as expected, and has a tapioca like chewy texture to it. And not too sweet. The laab was good too and came with sticky rice! The strawberry coco drink was fine, and also as anticipated! Service was nice and normal. Overall, nice to try if you're in the area!

    The service and atmosphere was great. Quick ordering, food came out fairly fast, the music and feel of the place is enjoyable. The food was okay, we got the Nam Khao, egg rolls, Heavenly Beef, and Steak Laab which actually turned out to be chicken so that was a bit disappointing. They got my order wrong. The Jeow Bong is decent, a little sweet for me, and the 3 pepper I thought could've been spicier. Their drinks however are really good, we got the Strawberry Gem, Honey Dew Smoothy, Pandan Dream, and Coco Matcha. The Pandan Dream and Honey Dew was definitely my favorites and I don't really drink Boba nor Smoothies.

    Thai curry and Lao style papaya Salad
    Avisha C.

    ABSOLUTE MUST-VISIT: Coco Milk Cafe If you love real flavor, bold spice, and soul-hugging desserts, Coco Milk Cafe is IT. I started with the Pandan Dream drink creamy, fragrant, and perfectly balanced. Then came the Thai tea boba, rich and smooth with that deep tea flavor that hits just right. Now let's talk FOOD. I ordered the Thai curry EXTRA spicy (because yes, I love spice), and wow... they nailed it. Not fake heat. Not bland "spicy." It was perfectly good and spicy flavorful, warming, and deeply satisfying. My friend had the Lao-style papaya salad, which is her all-time favorite, and she LOVED it. Fresh, tangy, punchy, and done exactly the way it should be. To finish, we had the warm coco boba, and honestly... it filled our soul . Comfort in a cup. I also tried the pandan coco mochi, soft and dreamy--and the sweetest surprise? The person working behind the counter gave us extra. That alone tells you everything about the vibe here. Service deserves a shout-out: The workers were fast, efficient, and genuinely friendly. No attitude, no long waits, just good energy and care. This is one of those places where: * the flavors are bold * the spice is REAL * the desserts feel like a warm hug * and you leave already planning your next visit Coco Milk Cafe isn't just food--it's an experience. Go hungry. Go happy. Go NOW

    Such good food. We tried it catered at a party and the platters were very substantial and everything was so flavorful and delicious!! Already tried the kuih, which are these little coconut milk jello cakes and they were so pretty and so good!!

    Fun place full of toys and colorful decor! Mango sticky rice with different color blocks of rice is delicious! We also ordered mini waffles with Nutella. They are kinda rubbery, especially if you don't eat them right away. The bahn mi bun is pretty good, but you only get one per order. Each time we've gone, there was no wait but the staff works slow. Also, some were eating behind the counter. Sanitary no-no.

    Lemongrass beef

    This has become my family's latest go to restaurant. We're fans of the food and desserts. On our first visit, we got the crispy pork belly, grilled steak and steak laab for our entrees. The pork belly was deep fried to perfection, crispy on the outisde with the meat staying tender. I've never had laab before so it was a refreshing new dish for me. It was citrusy with some tang from the onions and little kick from the spicy pepper. After our meal, we ordered the mochi waffle and sticky rice for dessert. The mochi waffle was crunchy with bits of fresh coconut on the inside. The sticky rice was exactly how I liked it especially since the mango was nice and ripe. On my second visit, I got the mochi layers, coco taro cups and strawberry gems. The desserts with great but the drink not so much. It was too sweet and I wasn't a fan of all the toppings. Our family was in town which was an excuse to order almost everything on the menu. We got the pork tapioca, khao piak, laab chicken & steak, grilled chicken & beef, lao sausage and crispy belly. Every dish was a hit, with the standouts being the lao sausage, pork tapioca and khao piak. I'm glad my family is adventurous because I wouldn't have ordered those items. We finished up our meal with the mochi waffle. Cocomilk is located in South Sacramento in a strip mall away from the main section of Little Vietnam. We've never had parking issues. Service has always been very friendly and efficient. You order at the counter and the staff will bring it to you if you're dining in or they'll package it up in these cute bags for to go items.

    Noodles

    Food was so flavorful! My daughter ordered the noodles, I ordered the sausage and the basil, and everything was delicious! Must come give it a try!

    Coco Gems
    Jaane F.

    We are here for lunch. The shop opened early, which is convenient. We ordered some of their lunch meals and desserts. We feel that their lunch meal is okay only--not to our liking. We did like their mochi layers and gem coco drink. Both were good, and we definitely will get back more of their desserts. The parking here is plenty. The staff here are friendly.

    Brittany B.

    My husband and I were looking for dessert to try and we found this place across the street from where we were dining. We decided to get the Mochi layers and mango sticky rice. Both dishes were good! The mochi layers remind me of a Filipino dessert I eat that has coconut milk and tapioca pearls. The mango rice came with different flavored rice and was also really good.

    Sana'a Cafe is in downtown Sacramento, CA…read more I popped on into Sana'a on a weekday for a coffee and something to nosh on. I've been to a Sana Cafe in San Rafael but the first time at this location. They are franchised, independently owned coffeehouses specializing in Yemeni coffee, pasties, and light bites. The staff were direct, cordial and efficient. I asked the cashier what was their best selling drink which he said "everything is good". I believed him. However he had no recommendations. Unsolicited, the other customers in line kindly gave me some. Nice. I choose the Sana'a latte with oat milk. It was creamy and infused with cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Luved it. Delicious. Drinking this, put me in the zone. I also ordered a ground beef fatayer and baklava. The fatayer was a savory, handheld meat pie with a yeasty dough exterior. The meat was on the dry side but by golly it had flavor. Spiced up! Not hot heat level but packed with flavor. The baklava was a tiny teeny size which surprised me and left me wanting more because it was darn tasty . They also have dessert pastries which looked all so prettily yummy behind the glass counter. Most are made with milk of some sort though. For the lactose intolerant folks, I recommend bringing a lactaid pill and going for it. The interior decor is striking. Bold gold and black colored furniture and opulent chandelier lighting fixtures dominate the room. Fancy. I'm picking up regal, posh vibes. The design aesthetics are similar in all Sana's Cafe. Plus this location is open 6am-midnight everyday. Probably one of the only urban downtown coffee houses open that late for caffeinated night owls. The cafe is a few blocks down K street from DOCO. I don't know how it's like in this area after the sun sets. Just sayin.

I dont have photos of what I got for valentines day but remmeber them being ok but nothing mind-blowing Maybe its just the DOCO one that sucks but I went to give them another chance the day before mother's day and sorely regretted it. I got the matcha croissant ive been hearing about, the new blueberry cream croissant and the mango passionfruit entremet. The Croissants were a huge flop. Blueberry had barely enough filling inside-the cream itself was tasty but croissant was rough in texture and not flaky. Matcha was a bit more flaky and had more filling-I wouldn't say GENEROUS amount as some have said but maybe I just got a bad one. The cream was too subtle -it was more like vanilla with a hint of matcha. The entremet was the only one that didnt suck-it was delicious but again I wouldn't say anywhere in Sacramento has wowed me yet with their entremets compared to places in the bay except for the ones that ginger Elizabeth has had in the past-the flavor itself was on point, i will say the texture of the entremets have a majority layer of the jelly part-if they could perfect the variety of layers you're supposed to get in each bite I would be more impressed as thats the whole point of enjoying an entremet. Honestly I should have just gotten one pastry to try in one day as they are pricey-i paid 31 not including the tip fot my pastries, and in this economy one cannot waste that much on disappointing sweet treats lol

I never went til just a couple weeks ago. Around 9pm on a Friday night I was craving banana cream pie and the husband wanted cherry pie. On Yelp search, Rick's came up as the top choice that was open. So we went and stood in the long line. The place was crowded and loud. Lively and busy vibe. Line moved at a good pace and the staff helping were nice but hurried. So we took our lil pies to go. We both liked our chosen pies. Now I know what to order if I go back to Rick's. Pies over cakes.

However, the café's version was far from that. The counter staff overpromised their Café de Olla, but it tasted terrible. When I asked to switch to a mocha because of how bad the coffee was, their friendly smile quickly disappeared. They didn't offer a replacement or try to make it right. Instead, I had to pay again for the mocha just to finish the coffee break with my wife. Very disappointing experience. It was an easy decision not to come back.
