Recently, there is an increase in popularity for coconut shakes, making it the biggest competitor for the beloved bubble tea. This popularity is partially thanks to a new Mr Coconut outlet popping up every other day with many other shops opening to meet the demand.
Being a pioneer in such drinks, they have gathered a huge following. If you want to give this refreshing drink a try but don’t want to deal with the long queue, you can check out these other stalls that offer coconut shakes as well.

Coco Cane
From the name, it can be deduced that this stall specialises in both coconut and sugarcane drink. 100% Pure Cococane (from $3.20) is their best seller, but they also have Coconut Snowshakes if you want to switch up your usual. Their Signature ($5.00) has a thick and creamy texture with strong notes of coconut milk. They also have other flavours that you might want to give a shot such as Mango Snowshake ($6.20) and Lychee Snowshake ($5.90).

Being the same price as bubble tea, coconut drinks serve as an alternative option for the masses. Coconut shakes might be slightly healthier as compared to bubble tea which may be more appealing to some and hence the increase in its popularity. But should you prefer your drinks with 100% sugar make sure you take note of your waistlines and drink moderately!
