Was craving for some sweets and bakery-esk. Their pandan anything caught my eyes and the mochi waffles. I didn't realize this place did a makeover. Not only do they sell sweets, they also have entrees. I'll have to try that next time. I ordered the mochi waffles and the coco pandan. They make it hot and fresh, so it takes a few minutes. I didn't know and I thought they forgot about me. Loved the mochi waffles and didn't need the condense milk drizzle. I liked the coco pandan, but I had more of the peanut coconut flavor than the pandan. Interior was nice and spacious, quite comfortable seating arrangements. Will come back to try their Laotian sausages. read more

Warning: Their desserts are too cute to eat! Everything we ordered was pleasing to the eye AND taste buds. The guy behind the counter was also very nice and personable. We mentioned that we were from the Bay Area and he treated us like we've known each other for years. He recommened his favorites and we went with the mochi waffles and layered mochi. They were so good and chewy! The drinks were refreshing and reasonably priced. We had a great experience and will definitely come back when we are in the area again. Oh yeah, even their take away bag is cute :) read more

I had Cocomilk Cafe bookmarked for a while now and finally got a chance to try it out. My bf and I came in around the evening time, interior and lightning was very subtle. There were tables to dine in, a big menu on the right, and Asian decors. We did not stay for service so we ordered online for take out. Papaya Salad medium spice (bf needed to calm down on his spice): I would give it 6/10. It tasted like it was missing the tamarind paste...or there wasn't enough of it. Also, possibly more crab paste? Crispy Pork Belly: It was dry D: although we had the dipping sauce, which sort of tastes like the sauce you dip Bánh Lọc in, it was still dry...it had a nice crunch and taste but overall, so dry....6/10. Pork Sausages: This was 10/10!! Not dry at all! Definitely recommend getting this. Kaopoon (ahh forgot photo): 6.7/10. We weren't impress but didn't dislike it either. Again, it was missing something. I didn't taste enough coconut milk. The lime leave flavor was missing... Taro Cream Tea: Oh boy, the bobas were hard in the middle...and the taste of the Taro was very powdered flavored...I get it, it's made from Taro powder but the taste was so prominent. 5/10...I would not get this again. Customer service: 10/10! The man that assisted me was super kind and friendly! Overall, I wasn't too impressed by some of the orders so it's more of a 3.7 out of 5...but 4 stars just because of the pork sausages and friendly customer services. Parking wise, you will have no problem finding! read more

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE DESSERTS ONLY What a charming and delightful find. Cocomilk Cafe has been on my must try list for awhile due to their stunning presentation alone, so the fact that everything tasted better than it looked speaks volumes. The handmade boba was so soft and velvety, and was the perfect addition to the warmed coco milk that was the right level of sweetness. The purple rice custard was wildly flavorful, the rice was warm while the custard was cool and left you with a lovely, contrasting mouth feel. The custard was so floral, perhaps jasmine? The pandan balls also came warmed and fresh, soft and chewy and filled with toasted coconut. They were sold out of their taro desserts so I will definitely be back to sample those. Highly recommend. read more

MUST COME HERE AGAIN. Omg, the BEST Lao sausages I've ever had! This is a cute little restaurant with tables and amazing service.

Excellent and super amazing options. I've never had homemade/handmade boba and mochi. So delicious and so many options for everyone. A fun place, with lots of seating and great for studying and bringing the family. Super well priced too. read more

This cafe is so unassuming from the outside but when you walk in it's filled with so many different treats. They sell figurines, tea, Hawaiian jerky, shirts, and jars of sauce among the cafe's menu offerings. It's fun to poke around while waiting for your order. My family and I ordered the mochi layers, a peach tea and a viet coffee. The orders took a while but they were decently busy. The mochi layers dessert looked absolutely beautiful. The pandan, ube, and coconut flavors were distinct and balanced. Neither the desserts nor the drinks were too sweet - perfect! I told my husband we should come again for date night. :) read more

Really good food, we loved everything we had. Especially the Lao sausage bun- could easily have had three of those. The salads are very tasty packed with flavor. Service was really nice too, treated us to a little drink that made our day! read more

Food is good but make sure you check your orders before you leave or in the car. They asked if I prefer sticky rice and I said yes. When I got home, no sticky rice. I ordered Lao sausage and two pork tapioca balls. I would love to have eaten sticky rice with the sausage. The staff were friendly and attentive upon ordering. They seemed busy and were making sure orders are coming out. They just need to make sure orders are correct before giving out to customers. Overall, food is good. Next time I come back, I will double check when I'm there. read more

A nice cafe/lunch place. I just happened to be in the area, and felt like some boba, so I popped in. It was a clean, well lit, friendly place, and they got my boba quicker than most places. It was very nice. read more

Didn't expect much but the food was so good! The mango sticky rice was perfect, not overly sweet. Tam som lao style is the best I've ever had anywhere. Staff was very friendly. They also sell mystery packs of like figures and toys. Really cute cafe. read more

Ever crave a kind of food bad enough that you try a new place, but then get massively disappointed that you immediately go on the hunt for something proper to clear the bleh? That was me until I walked back into Cocomilk Cafe. This place cured me of a subpar Southeast Asian dining experience had elsewhere last night. Over the last few years, I've been in here multiple times but had been remiss to not review this establishment before. It should be stated that their food is superior to other SEA restaurants in the area, including Elk Grove. Their Lao sausage is made in house, slapping all memory of other sausages out your mouth. Marinades so flavorful the aroma puts your olfactory system on notice for the journey your tastebuds are about to take. Do not skip out on the drinks and dessert options: the mochi layers are not only a beauty to behold, they are absolutely delectable. I would come here for the food alone but thankfully the service is patient, friendly and helpful. Bonus points for cleanliness, you can tell they clean the bathroom. Would even recommend to my enemies, food so good they would cry tears of joy at my generosity. read more

Came back from Vietnam and was craving pandan since I had so much so I hopped on yelp and found Cocomilk cafe! Ordered online and when I arrived, my pandan smoothie was ready for pickup. The store itself is very cute and cozy, but it seemed more like a to-go type of establishment. I saw them have lots of online orders ready to be picked up, so its definitely popular! I didn't get to try, but they have lots of yummy looking desserts as well displayed. read more

Came here for lunch on sunday around 11:30. When we went it was completely empty. Ppl did really welcome us or anything so we jus sat at a table and they have things to scan to see the menu but they also have tvs with their menu and prices. Then we eventually ordered at the counter. We got the khao poon and the lemongrass beef and also coco ube. We went back to our table and they brought us the coco ube and water. After like 15 ish minutes the food came out. The portions were soooo small lol. Especially for the price. The khao poon was 12.50 and the beef was 13.50. Both were honestly good tho. Khao poon is probably more worth it tho, bigger portions and had a good amount of chicken and cabbage and bean sprouts topping, flavor was good too. The lemon grass beef comes with a small container of rice or sticky rice, we got sticky rice. The flavor was good and i like the sauce it comes with however it was REALLLY tough, kinda like the hard beef jerky texture ngl. It was tasty tho but hurt my jaw lol. The coco ube came with 8 small little ones for 7.50. It was pretty good, very coconutty but its basically all coconut and i couldnt taste any ube flavor. Overall place is okay. Seems like a cute little family run business. Their other desserts seems cool so IF i came back i would jus probably try other desserts because their main food isnt that worth it but its worth a try! read more

The food is authentic and very good! Ordered the steak larb, kapoon, and the Nam Khao. We also ordered drinks and it was also good. The restaurant has about 4-5 tables. You order at the register and they do bring the food to you. We didn't try the dessert but will be coming back to try it. read more

We stopped by to pick up some snacks on the way home. Ordered the Coco Pandan drink (so refreshing), the Coco Pandan balls (flavorful goodness with toasted coco shreds inside), cassava balls (perfect) and a Durian coco smoothie (durian heaven). We have Pandan cups to try next but I'm sure it won't disappoint, everything's been delicious. The staff provided excellent service! *Thank you for being welcoming to me and my children as we walked thru the doors. read more

This place is AMAZING! As my niece Mia said "I would give them 10 stars if I could." We loved the grilled chicken and grilled pork. Wonderful flavors that we enjoyed with sticky rice. We were also delighted with the beautiful presentation of mango sticky rice and the out-if-this-world crunchy chewy mochi waffles. We loved the sample of passion fruit tea and bought a canister of it along with the fragrant 1001 nights tea. Will DEFINITELY be coming back to try other things on their menu! Ok, we come here at least once a month because it's our favorite restaurant! We come before every clay class we go to and feel so lucky to be eating such fantastic food. Everyone needs to know about this amazing restaurant. Our favorite dinners are their charbroiled chicken and chicken wings. And our favorite desserts are mochi waffles, purple rice custard and mango sticky rice. The place is so clean and all the food so artfully prepared. The service is quick and friendly. Keo knows us now by name and we love talking to home about the fun new dishes he has created along with his wife Pui. Today we got to sample their beautiful mung bean fruit shaped treats available on their catering menu. So yummy! Keo and Pui are so very talented. Other staff have been great too. Hope you give them a try. You will not be disappointed! read more

Ordered kapiak and pork egg rolls to go Kapiak hits the spot so warm and hot fresh lots of meats and chunks of pork blood but I don't eat those so I took it out and set it aside for someone who eats it. Pork egg rolls had vermicelli noodles!yasss 10/10 kapiak had lots of noodles and were soft chewy but not braking apart. First to go order and it was delicious thank you to the owner he was so nice as always. Definitely gonna order more egg rolls from here when I don't feel like cooking lol read more

Great food & service. You order at the counter and they'll call you when your order is ready. We tried the Papaya Salad, Khao Poon, and Mango Sticky Rice. I'll definitely be ordering the Khao Poon again - it was my favorite of the items I've tried. The Papaya Salad was fresh and crisp. It was good, but do not order this if you have an aversion to fishy tasting items. The fishy taste was extremely strong, and it was apparent just from the scent from a foot away it was going to be a heavy fish taste. I have never had Khao Poon before this, and I thought this soup was amazing. I really loved the taste. I really enjoy coconut based soups, so it wasn't surprising that I enjoyed this menu item. From the meat to the veggies to the broth, each ingredient was delicious! After trying a bite of the Mango Sticky Rice, I went back to the cashier to buy another one for my mom. The person helping me was really nice and offered me a helpful tip: put the rice into the lid, then you can pour the coconut milk over the rice and mango (since the lid then acts as a bowl). It was good for being pre-made, but it didn't compare to ordering the dessert & having the rice served warm at a restaurant. I really enjoyed my meal here & I can't wait to return! read more

Wonderful food! The place is small but very clean. The staff are all very friendly and nice. I ordered the pork belly plate with sticky rice, it was so delicious. The pork belly was perfectly fried and surprisingly not oily! It was perfect with the sticky rice, I give it a 10 out of 10. For dessert I went for the purple rice with custard, it was delicious. I give it a seven out of 10. A must try! read more

I couldn't wait to come try this place again after my uncle bought me their mochi layers and I was obsessed! I'm a big coconut/pandan lover and grew up on these desserts. Their mochi layers are not only beautiful and soft, they are certainly delicious! I also tried their egg rolls, which were satisfying. Nothing different so they are yummy egg rolls for sure. I do love how packed they are! The worker was also super nice. Great seating arrangements with a comfortable amount of space between each table! read more

Delicious and beautiful dessert! Can't go wrong. Not too sweet, which is just right for me. I'm giving them a 3 star. The portion to price is on the expensive side and they use paper liners for the mochi layer cakes, which gets stuck on the paper liner. It's annoying to buy mochi layer and it gets stuck in the paper liner considering how small they already are. For what they charge, they should use a wax or parchment liner to prevent the mochi layer cakes from sticking to the liner. read more

I think I order from here at least once or twice a week via Door Dash. Being a mom of two, I am always so busy and always on the go that whenever I don't get a chance to grab lunch/dinner Cocomilk is definitely my go-to order on Door Dash. I love love love their beef laab! It's always made to perfection, and I love how fresh their veggies are! Some places I've been to, their laab is either too raw or missing something, and/or their vegetables are wilted and not fresh, but not here! Everything is PERFECT. I also love their sticky rice - they do a great job making sure it's not dry. Their gem dessert drink is also my favorite to get here! As well as their chicken. The list goes on! Overall if you want quality food, this is the place! read more

The inside of the restaurant had a nice lime green color interior that makes the soul calming. The cashier was nice and professional. The mochi waffles were delicious. It reminds me of these taro deserts from this LA Thai desert place but in waffle form. If you like taro, the waffles are delicious. The tapioca balls were delicious and flavorful. I've had them before and they made them very good here. The grill pork with sticky rice was delicious. The flavor was tasty. I am very particular with my sticky rice. I hate restaurants that just make their sticky rice in a rice cooker. The texture is usually all gooey and not right, but this place actually steams their sticky rice which makes it tasty. I highly recommend people to try this place. read more

It's about time Sacramento has an authentic Thai/Lao dessert cafe! All the sweets are my favorite from my childhood memory These desserts are the ones only momma would make and I could never find them anywhere else unless I was at someone's house and their mom made it. I literally ordered 1-2 of everything cause 1 isn't enough. I also ordered other savory dishes like the fried beef jerky, tapioca pork balls (my favorite), papaya salad, sausage & their homemade chili paste! My favorite dessert is the tapioca coconut pearls stuffed with toasted coconut & palm sugar! It was soft & chewy, just the right texture, sweetness & brought so many memories. Also you'll never find is the cassava cake! I got 2 of those. So soft, bouncy, and delicious Everything was just perfect read more

It was Cambodian, Thai, Laos New year a dew days ago. I was craving for their desserts which I didn't have for a long time. I had hubs ordered online. He got me Asian BBQ chicken with sticky rice. The portion side is small but the chicken is very tasty. The meat is juicy and it is not dry nor its undercooked. I give it 10/10. Can never go wrong with sticky rice. It compliments the bbq chicken very well. Lastly, the desserts. It didn't taste as fresh when I first had it. The texture wasn't as soft and chewy. Maybe it was a day old or so. Nonetheless it is still good. I'd give it 7/10. Due to a lot of things, food anywhere is now costly, wages went up for staff, supplies, etc. The prices for Coco Milk aren't that bad. The packaging is nice and cute. The food presentation is very nice. read more

We came here on a weekend because I was craving nam khao and saw that this place had it. We ordered nam khao (it's like crispy fried rice), beef laap with sticky rice, iced coffee (might've been the Thai iced coffee) and the coco pandan drink. Nam khao (3/5 stars) just because it was a saltier than what me and my boyfriend are used to, but it was definitely crispy and good. You just have to eat it with other sides. Beef laap (5/5) for us. We have no complaints besides that it was delicious. I like how the dried peppers were actually spicy too. They also give you an option between sticky rice or regular white rice, which was thoughtful. Maybe Thai iced coffee? (3/5) my boyfriend got that drink and it took him awhile to finish it. The taste was strong, not saying it's a good or bad thing haha. I don't remember really enjoying it though. Coco pandan juice (5/5) it was something new to try and it tasted refreshing. I would definitely order again when I come back. I didn't get a chance to try their desserts yet, so I'll have to update my review when I do! The interior was clean and nice inside. The workers were also friendly :) read more

It was our first time and will be the last time ordering from this place. We ordered to go and they took over an hour to prepare our food like what? Then the food is average...not very good. Very overhyped and overpriced for the small portions u get. The nastiest of the food was the Kaopoon. I have never had such nasty kaopoon before like what the heck do u put in your soup? So disappointed my money went down the drain! read more

Like all Asians say: not too sweet I'm happy that there are more S.E.A (Southeast Asian) restaurants popping up in Sacramento and specifically Lao restaurants.

Would definitely be back to try more dessert and food. read more

Service and food are excellent! Keo takes care of his customers. I had never tried KhaoPoon before. My friend and I shared and enjoyed this delicious dish that was perfect for the warmth we needed for the weather that day. The pork tapioca is one of my favorite menu items to eat here, as it's packed with flavor, even without the sweet and spicy dipping sauce. When I DID dip the pork tapioca in the sauce, WOW!! That's all I have to say for that! Keo recommended that I try their Heavenly Beef(Seen Savanh). I enjoyed the perfect, mouth watering combination of the beef, dipping sauce, cucumbers and sticky rice! When my friend and I took our first forkful of the Laab chicken, I'm sure our facial expressions said it all for how much flavor is packed in their Laab chicken! I've been back twice and will continue to support this small business. Cocomilk Cafe gives a savory, rich and delightful food experience that satisfies my Asian food cravings! read more

On our way to Tahoe and decided to stop by for lunch with the kiddos. This time we ordered the beef laap, Lao sausage, kao piek, mochi layers ( since they didn't have the pandan sago), and the Coco pandan mochi balls. Everyone enjoyed the beef laap but it didn't seem as full as when I ordered it last time - still good flavor, though. The sausage were also flavorful and the texture was good, but hubs would've liked them a bit more sour. The kao piek noodles were a bit underdone but the broth was flavorful and light. Kiddos loved the mochi layers and the Coco pandan mochi balls and want to return soon for the desserts again. read more

LOVE this place! We've been huge fans of CocoMilk Cafe since they started out in Stockton and we've been wanting to visit their new Sacramento location since they opened. Well, we finally made it here and they did not disappoint! We ordered about 6 items to share along with 4 drinks and we were stuffed! Everything was amazing and we are looking forward to coming back when we are in the area! Thank you for the delicious food and delectable desserts! read more

The food here is alright. You don't get a lot for what you pay for, but I understand..INFLATION. I wanted to try out Cocomilk Cafe because I was drawn to the mochi waffles, but it was kind of a disappointment. There's corn in it and that just ruins the overall taste. I supposed the purpose of the corn is to fill in more space, but for the price you are paying for these tiny little waffles, that's not necessary. I wouldn't even mind paying a little more to have them without corn. Moving on...I also ordered the beef laab, khaopoon, and pork tapioca. I liked the laab. It was very fresh and tasted authentic. The khaopoon, although not bad, just didn't have the right flavoring. Something, maybe crab paste or the curry paste, was too strong. I like my khaopoon creamy with more of a coconut taste. The portion; however, was a good size. It filled up both my husband and I. The pork tapioca was alright. I got it because I really like the Vietnamese ones with shrimp in it. Unfortunately, the pork tapioca didn't hit the same. It's also very strong in flavor. I ordered for pickup so I cannot comment on customer service, but everything went well. Would I come back and try other items? Definitely! read more
