Coco Bliss has a full menu of healthy freshly-squeezed juices, smoothies, and acai bowls. It is located at 5032 W Military Drive, San Antonio, TX 78242, right next to her parents’ Puerto Rican restaurant El Coquí.
Fuentes said she wanted to bring a healthy option to the Military and South Side community.
Coco Bliss held its grand opening on April 17. It’s regular hours will be Monday - Friday 7 a.m.- 4 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. and closed on Sundays.
As soon as you walk in you immediately feel the fresh and ambient vibe. And if you love posting pictures on social media, you have to take full advantage of sitting on their made-for-Insta swing. (Don’t forget to tag @Cocobliss & @Southsidesatx to share your pictures with us.)
We tried some of her favorite menu items during a sneak peek and were not disappointed. Everything we tried was made with fresh ingredients right before our eyes.
Some of the items we tried were:
- Matcha Mama Smoothie that consists of matcha powder, banana, pineapple and milk
- the Coco Greens Juice made with spinach, cucumber, celery, green apple, pineapple, lemon juice, and ginger
- and the unforgettable Coco Bliss Bowl with coconut cream base, granola, strawberry, pineapple, banana, almond flakes, cacao nips, and a drizzle of honey and almond butter, and nutella.
