"Hot August days working as a high school McBarista changed my outlook on life, and Lacàphê's slushy potions of delight instantly transport me back. The Coco Freeze struck me as an ice-cream-y riff on Vietnamese coffee: toasted coconut flakes add a textural snap, huge rivers of cream streak the plastic cup, and the result drinks more like a dessert than a pre-jog pick-me-up. While the shop’s Signature Saigon stays closer to classic Vietnamese coffee, the Coco Freeze blends Americana fast food, bubble tea sensibilities, and actual Vietnamese coffee traditions into something worth the $6.50 splurge, and the oolong tea made for a subtle boba companion to survive that South Bay sun. Even if you aren't a specialty coffee devotee, hitting this coffee phenom is a plain smart way to start summer off right." - Eater Staff
