Fruit açaí bowl is ubiquitous and you know what a good bowl when you see/taste it. Koko Roll Café is a small café that serve poke bowl, acai, sushi and milk teas. They’re located in a midsize plaza on Foothill blvd in La Cresenta. I came here for an açaí bowl for lunch. Its indoor was small but spacious enough for a dine-in. Moreover, it’s neat, clean, organized and well lit. Upon my entry, Asia, a young white female staff, gave a perfunctory greeting. It was my first time here and I sensed a negative vibe. I quickly perused their menu and ordered an açaí fruit bowl. Customers need to check and write down your order on the little menu white board (bowl, poke, sushi) provided. The açaí fruit bowl was mediocre because the acai base was too frozen like a marble. Thus, I had to exert a relative good force to get a piece. Bolocks! Conversely, the fruits (strawberry, blueberry, banana) and granola were fresh and delicious and crunchy, respectively. Clearly, they have not mastered how to make a good-great açaí bowl. Prices seem fair. Free wifi available. Staff was cordial and followed health protocol. Finding a parking spot was with ease. In this voluminous review, it’s time to make a recommendation. Overall, I did not enjoy my açaí bowl and I do not recommend...
Read moreMy daughter and I stopped by for dinner one evening and were pleasantly surprised by the selection of fun Japanese treats. They have sushi handrolls (which was a big hit with my 4 year old), taiyaki (pastry with filling-another 4 year old favorite), poké, and boba drinks. We only ordered a few hand rolls and about 5 taiyaki. It was so good. We ate everything and were pretty full afterward. I will mention the taiyaki needs to be eaten right away, because it looses its crunchy flaky texture after a few minutes of travel. It goes from being a crunchy yummy filled fish to a soft pancake with goo inside... Go in-store and try it, it is so worth it! We tried every flavor, my daughter liked the cheese one and I liked the authentic Japanese flavors like taro, custard and red bean. I can't wait to see what other food selections they...
Read moreCame here with my wife and got some poke bowls. They don't have any set bowls, you choose all your ingredients, toppings, and sauces. We also got some boba milk tea. Overall, the food and drink were real good. I've had a number of different poke bowls, more often than not, I am dissapoonted and I wasn't whith this one. They also have a digital stamp card. You just download the elephant foot stamp app and they'll stamp your phone with a special stamp when the app is open and you'll earn a stamp with every boba and poke bowl you buy. You get a free bowl when you get 10 stamps, same with the boba drinks. Staff was very friendly, will definitely...
