Surf’s up, thirst's down: Cocobella Lifebar might be your next hydrating hang-out spot

Apart from Singapore's popular coconut drink shop, Mr. Coconut, we don’t really have a go-to coconut spot, do we? That’s why Cocobella Lifebar definitely gives us something to thirst over. It’s a whole dine-in space wrapped in the laid-back elements of an Australian beach (it’s from Australia… but we wouldn’t have dared assume).

The coconut "hut" in One Holland Village

There’s something kind of unexpected about walking through Holland Village and suddenly landing in what feels like a coastal Aussie pit stop.

From the surfboard to the hut-style touches, Cocobella Lifebar nods to beach culture without going overboard. The vibe? A soft surfer boy meets cosy Bed and Bath girl combo… and somehow, it works. And no wonder! This whole place feels like a WFH by the beach… people are so chilled out, they’d actually want to work here (honestly, it might be the next Starbucks—at least in terms of the WFH crowd).

We suspect productivity skyrockets with coconuts and chill O.O

OK, now time to describe the drinks!

Tired of coffee options everywhere you go? This place gives you coconut-everything. Well... including coffee with coconut (if you're a coffee guzzler). We tried two types of drinks:

1. Coco Elixir – Coconut water with lemon, honey, and ginger over ice. Refreshing and light.

2. Matcha Cloud – Iced matcha with coconut water, topped with matcha foam and white chocolate shavings. A creamy and smooth matcha drink.

   
   

It’s definitely got an interesting taste, and to be honest, it’s something we’re still getting used to with this whole coconut lifestyle. Matcha and coconut, or ginger and coconut, aren’t typical combos, but they’re definitely intriguing. We’ll probably end up trying all the coconut mixes while working here or just hanging out!

Apart from coconut drinks, they also have froyos, acai bowls, and smoothies—your one-stop cooler in Singapore's blazing weather. All in all, we’ve never seen this many creative coconut drink and munchie variations in one place! Kudos to this Life-[saving]-bar.

P.s. Also, look at this book. Preach it, we say.
