The first time I've ever had a fresh coconut was in DR. There was a staff walking around with a machete and asking around if anyone wanted coconuts. I said yes. I think he went to the coconut tree and cut one off. It took him less than 5 mins to prepare the coconut. It tasted gross. I think it's because of the temperature. Warm coconut water is nasty. It's also not sweet so needless to say, I wasn't a fan...

I have drank coconut water that was refrigerated and also with other flavors, and they're just OK to me. I wouldn't go out of my way for coconut water.

Coconut Snowball $12.99 - first off, it was surprisingly small, maybe slightly bigger than a baseball. It was basically the flesh of a coconut. I put in the fridge since I wasn't going to drink it immediately. I certainly don't want flashbacks of drinking it warm. Thank goodness for that. The flesh is very soft, you can easily poke through with a pointed straw. It's naturally sweet, but subtle sweet. I'm someone who likes drinks on the very sweet side so this it was rather bland. There's a freshness to it though. There also isn't much coconut water inside. The flesh is edible of course. Overall, I wouldn't get it again, and certainly not for that price. Most of the cost is probably for the labor.

Coconut Pudding $7.88 - comes with toasted coconut flakes on top. This was very good. I'd say, get this if you can't decide. I'm a pudding/creme brûlée, panna cotta person, and if you are as well, you're gonna like this. Not only it was very good, it comes in a glass mason jar and the portion is a decent portion. I would definitely get this again.

They offer drinks and other coconut desserts as well. I think it's worth trying if you are a coconut fan. I like coconut but not all variations. I don't like coconut water on its own but I love coconut milk/cream. It's also good mixed with broth for hotpot soup base and in my favorite mock-tail, pina colada.
