KOI Café

Bought this Green Milk Tea after hanging around. First time trying this flavor, I found it quite good. First try, it was not great. I always ordered 70% sugar level with pearls. The green tea taste make the plain milk tea very appealing. The pearls were chewy and QQ. I can even smell the aroma of the tea. They have different sugar level for you to choose too. It pretty cold refreshing drink if consume under the hot sun.…Read More

Wanting a drink to a refreshing cold drink on a scorching hot day? Koi milk tea is the way to go! Love the wide variety of milk tea here and the pearls too! They are so chewy and nice! I love the hazelnut milk tea as the tinge of hazelnut really makes the drink unique and very palatable. Their aloe vera green tea drink is also quite good. Especially if one does not really like milk tea.:)…Read More

I only started drinking bubble tea after I saw the queue at this stall. The business seem to have quietened down for a period of time, and now it seemed to be back in the market. I have to say the pearl was extremely chewy and it is the best which I have eaten so far. I also like the idea where we can choose the sweetness. I am not sure if this was the stall which started the level of sugarness, but this is the shop which I saw this idea being brought to us. Hope to see this keep going as I've started to like bubble tea again!…Read More

Who doesn't love bubble tea!!!My aunt and I was yeaarning for KOI after a hearty meal at Charco's.And i was actually convinced that there wasnt a branch here in Marine Parade but apparently she proved me wrong.The shop is located right infront of the hawker centre and lucky for us there wasnt much que. The staff here are more friendlier compared to Tampines branch and the service was much faster.Both of got the caramel milk tea, but mine was with pearls while hers was grass jelly,personally i prefer the pearls. Sooo chewy! Besides the grass jelly cost $0.60 more than the pearls if im not mistaken.…Read More

After lunch at the nearby Marine Parade Central hawker centre, one of my colleagues had the urge to drink Koi bubble tea. So we all followed suit. I saw this new banner outside the shop promoting its new creation Green Macchiato (there is the black tea version as well). It looks like the Gong Cha signature drink tat has the milk froth on top of the tea, so I decided to try this new drink, since I love the Gong Cha version.There was quite a long queue that day and we had to wait abt 10 mins before we got our drinks. At the counter I saw this instruction sheet telling customers how to drink this Macchiato - you would be given a small plastic "knife" instead of the normal straw, so tat you can cut open the lid and then jus sip the tea like that, without using straw. According to the sheet, it's also recommended that you drink this without adding any pearls/ topping.However when I got my drink, they didn't give me the plastic knife but just a usual straw. I thought the drink was a tad too milky. It didn't taste as fragrant or special compared to Gong Cha's signature. It was just like a normal cup of milk tea (without the pearls) except that this one had too much milk. It's slightly cheaper than theie bubble milk tea and Gong Cha's signature though. Quite disappointing......…Read More
