Koko Kakigori

We stumbled upon Koko Kakigori after dining at Kaya, and I was so glad we did! As a huge fan of Taiwanese shaved ice, I was immediately impressed by the delicate, finely shaved ice and balanced flavors of the ube coconut kakigori I tried. It seems like their presentation has been evolving based on their past photos, or maybe it just depends on who's making them, but I wish them continued inspiration in honing their craft and making even grander creations! Just a heads up, they only allow one party to order inside at a time, creating an intimate experience. There's plenty of outdoor seating available to enjoy your kakigori, then just dispose of everything in the provided bus bucket and waste basket outside the store.I'd love to see more shaved ice spots like Koko pop up across the US, and I wish them all the success in helping to create a larger trend!

The pictures online looked unreal so we had to come and try this place out. It's so tiny but so cute! Just a note, you don't eat inside they bring it out to you outside on the table. There's only a few flavors to choose from but they all looked so good. You also get to choose the bowl they put your shaved ice in, very cute! The presentation is beautiful. The flavor and texture was amazing. I am so sad that Pistachio Lemon is a limited time flavor. This was the best shaved ice I have ever had out of all the places around here. This was next level. You need to come here and try this place!!

The cutest little dessert spot!It's in the smallest, cutest little shop and service is so friendly. They let us pick our own ceramic bowls for the shaved ice to come in, which makes the experience that much more special.We ordered the ube coconut and strawberry matcha shaved ice - and they were big! Both shaved ices had the most milkiest, melt-in-your-mouth snow as the base. The ube and matcha flavors were prominent and I love that there were hidden elements and textures within each of the ices. My absolute favorite was finding secret coconut jellies!I love that the flavors rotate and every one we tried was so so good. Make sure to support this local business selling the most delicious and refreshing shaved ices. It is small and there were only 2-3 tables outside when we went, so be prepared to wait if there is a line. Will definitely be back to try their other yummy flavors!

I absolutely loveeeee this place!! Their kakigoris are the best shaved ice desserts I've ever tried. You can really appreciate seasonal flavors since they experiment with different ingredients all the time! I like that they also have fillings and the most gorgeous toppings. They're not too sweet and just so refreshing. The service is friendly and nice and you get to eat at picnic tables under a tree, which is so cute! The only thing I don't like about this place is the hours. They have such an odd schedule and close so early for a dessert restaurant, in my opinion. I would go so much more often after dinner on Mills/E. Colonial if they were open later! Anyways, I will keep coming back to try their new creations despite my frustrations with their opening/closing hours because they're just that delicious!

We visited koko kakigori during Kaya's birthday festival and Oh My this place is awesome. While there are definitely other shaved ice places around, nobody else really does it like them. Each flavor isn't just a syrup drizzled on the ice, it's a whole dish. We got the starfruit yuzu and it was such an experience. The jasmine balls with the starfruit jelly and the yuzu all together made for an awesome bite. The ice is super fresh and the perfect texture. It's not cheap, but it can definitely feed 2-3 people. I'll definitely be going out of my way to get here again.

An absolute gem. Nothing is better than Koko Kakigori on a hot day in central Florida. Seating and menu is limited but it's worth it. You can taste the quality in all the ingredients they use and it's super cute that they let you pick out your own bowl to eat from. It's not too sweet either, so perfect for Asian parents with the non-sweet, sweet tooth. Enjoy the sunshine at their outdoor seating area while munching on this delightful icy treat.

I'm officially a kakigori fan! This is one of the most refreshing, unique desserts I've ever had and it's become my favorite summer treat.Koko is located behind Kaya in a cute tiny little shop with an ordering counter. There is no indoor seating, but there's plenty of shaded outdoor seating under the stunning Bodhi tree. The flavors of their Japanese shaved ice rotate regularly, but so far I've tried the Mango Mint and the Pistachio Lemon. Both were phenomenal! As you're eating these fun desserts it's like digging for treasure and finding more yummy stuff packed in the middle. I also love that you get to choose the beautiful bowl it is served in from their wall display of handmade ceramics. The ice is very light and fluffy. My husband & I usually share one, but I'm not going to lie -- I could probably crush one all by myself lol. Dinner at Kaya and then Koko for dessert is my favorite date night combo! Be sure to check their IG for their hours as they are typically only open Fri-Sun.

I had visited Koko Kakigori earlier this year with a few girlfriends and we had the best time. It was a bit cold on the day we went but we still craved a shaved ice dessert after our brunch. Our server was super sweet and offered us tea while we waited for our kakigori to arrive. We shared the Toasted Soy and Ube Coconut kakigori. I loved that the desserts aren't too sweet and have just the right amount of flavoring throughout the shaved ice. I'm definitely a fan and plan to come back whenever I'm back in the area!

Koko Kakigori offers shaved ice, it's fluffy and is not too sweet. The red bean filling inside was delicious. Ordering is a fun experience; you can choose your flavor and pick the bowl that would hold your shaved ice. The outdoor seating is charming, perfect for enjoying your treat in a relaxed atmosphere. While the small interior, where you order, gives off Japan vibes. Overall, Koko Kagigori is a great spot for anyone craving a refreshing dessert that isn't overly sweet.

It was a typical sweltering summer day in central Florida, and my friend and I were in the mood for shaved ice. I'd been eyeing this place for a while and am so glad we made the decision to come here. Koko kakigori is a cute little shop with plenty of outdoor seating in the shade surrounded by a green oasis. There were 5 flavors to choose from, one of them being vegan (ube coconut, $15) which my friend and I shared. I love that you can customize your experience by picking the bowl for your kakigori treat.The shaved ice tasted phenomenal; eating it was like uncovering treasure in every bite. Each scoop into the soft ice would reveal something different--coconut creaminess, a tart mango, the unique texture of agar jelly, or soft red bean. Truly a magical sensory experience. It only took about 5-10 minutes for the dessert to be ready, and it was brought out to us which was nice. I just wish they were open more than 2-3 days of the week (usually weekends), so that more people can enjoy this hidden gem! Parking was also extremely limited even in the decent-sized parking lot across the street--we were lucky that someone was leaving just as we arrived.
