Located in San Diego, USA, COCOBOMB has garnered a reputation on social media for its unique Thai desserts. Run by two Thai entrepreneurs, Mr. Thanet Bancharahattakij, 32, and Mr. Panaset Netiakaratawat, 43, nicknamed Sky, this cozy dessert shop offers a delightful twist by serving ice cream sundaes in real coconut shells, using ingredients sourced from both Thailand and America.
According to Mr. Thanet and Mr. Panaset, the idea for the shop stemmed from the absence of Thai dessert options in San Diego, while nearby Thai Town in Los Angeles offered abundant choices. This realization sparked their entrepreneurial spirit, leading them to establish an authentic Thai dessert shop with everything made from scratch in their own kitchen.
At COCOBOMB, freshness and quality take center stage, ensuring that every customer experiences the best possible dessert. Recognizing dietary restrictions, such as lactose allergies, the owners meticulously crafted their own ice cream recipes that are free from milk, animal ingredients, and gluten. This ensures that everyone can indulge in the sweet delights offered at the shop.
The shop’s most popular menu item, the Coconut Sundae, showcases the essence of their concept. Real coconut shells serve as the vessel, filled with three scoops of their signature coconut ice cream and topped with a choice of delectable options. Mango, a crowd favorite, takes the spotlight, closely followed by Mun Sticky Rice. The latter is a harmonious blend of homemade sticky rice, sweet and ripe mangoes, sprinkled with roasted sesame seeds, and generously drizzled with the shop’s special recipe of coconut milk.
COCOBOMB’s delightful creations have captured the attention of local media, with FOX 5 news agency expressing interest in showcasing and filming the restaurant’s unique offerings.
With its dedication to authenticity and innovative presentation, COCOBOMB brings a taste of Thailand to San Diego, delighting customers with every spoonful of their delicious coconut shell ice cream sundaes and other enticing desserts.
