Move over, sourdough and smashed avo—a new cult favourite is flying off Coles shelves, and it’s not what you’d expect. If you’ve wandered the chilled drinks aisle lately, you might have noticed a suspiciously empty spot where a certain $5.50 bottle should be.
That’s right. We’re talking about Cocobella’s brand-new flavour, which has become so popular that some shoppers call it ‘liquid gold’.
Cocobella, already a household name for its coconut water and sell-out chocolate blend, has just upped the ante with this latest release.
The Coffee Latte is a dairy-free, coconut-based iced coffee. Social media is filled with shoppers lamenting their fruitless searches—’I can’t find it anywhere!’—while others are clearing out shelves as soon as they’re restocked.
So, what’s all the fuss about? According to those lucky enough to snag a bottle, it’s ‘like a barista-made coconut latte in a bottle’.
One enthusiastic fan declared, ‘I didn’t expect to like it this much. It’s smooth, not too sweet, and actually really refreshing.’
Another said, ‘It’s giving me beachy café vibes but in a bottle. The coconut twist makes it feel summery—even in winter.’
Of course, not everyone is ready to crown it the king of coconut drinks. Some die-hard chocolate fans are sticking to their guns: ‘The coffee one’s nice, but the choc is elite.’
Still, the consensus is clear—Cocobella’s Coffee Latte is a hit, and it’s not just the younger crowd who love it. This drink ticks many boxes with more Australians looking for dairy-free, plant-based options.
Why the sudden surge in coconut-based drinks? For many, it’s about finding gentler alternatives for digestion, reducing animal product intake, or simply following a plant-based diet.
Coconut drinks like Cocobella’s offer a creamy, satisfying texture without the lactose, making them a go-to for those with intolerances or anyone looking to cut down on dairy. Plus, with fewer calories and no added sugar, they’re a wise choice for the health-conscious.
But let’s not forget the fun factor. There’s something a bit cheeky about sipping a coconut coffee on a chilly morning, pretending you’re on a tropical holiday instead of waiting for the kettle to boil. And at $5.50 a pop, it’s a little luxury that won’t break the bank.
If you’re keen to try it, you’ll find Cocobella Coffee Latte in the refrigerated drinks section at Coles—if you’re quick. With demand showing no signs of slowing, it might be worth phoning ahead or checking online stock before making a special trip.
