The unexpected $5.50 item that's flying off shelves at Coles: 'I can't find it anywhere it's like liquid gold'
A new supermarket item has hit shelves at Coles - and Aussie shoppers are already scrambling to get their hands on it.
Cocobella, the cult-favourite brand known for its refreshing coconut water and sell-out chocolate blend, has just launched a new Coffee Latte flavour - with fans calling it the ultimate iced pick-me-up.
Shoppers have described the chilled, dairy-free drink as 'like a barista-made coconut latte in a bottle' - and some are so hooked, they're clearing out shelves across the country.
'I can't find it anywhere - it's like liquid gold,' one shopper revealed on social media.
An anonymous shopper told FEMAIL: 'I was so excited when I spotted the new Cocobella Coffee Latte.
'I'm obsessed with the brand's coconut and chocolate flavours, so I was keen to give this one a try. It was nice and very coconutty - but it's never going to beat chocolate.'
Hundreds of shoppers have expressed their excitement over the new flavour, including Lex Dyer who filmed her taste test and declared the drink 'a 10 out of 10'.
'I can't even have a conversation in the morning without my coffee - and oh my god, this is fabulous,' she said.
Others have been quick to weigh in online.
'I didn't expect to like it this much. It's smooth, not too sweet, and actually really refreshing,' one shopper said.
'The chocolate is unreal, I'm actually excited to try the coffee. It sounds weird but Cocobella rarely misses,' another wrote.
A Perth-based student wrote: 'It's giving me beachy café vibes but in a bottle. The coconut twist makes it feel summery - even in winter.'
Another fan said: 'It's actually good. Wish you could get coconut take-away coffee… imagine a coconut flat white?!'
Not everyone has been converted, though.
'It's not bad but I still love the chocolate better,' one said.
'The coffee one's nice, but the choc is elite.'
The new drink blends Cocobella's signature coconut water with a smooth coffee extract to create a plant-based, dairy-free iced coffee that's both hydrating and energising.
Each bottle is available in the refrigerated or drink section of Coles supermarkets nationally, and retails for $5.50.
More Australians are turning to dairy-free options as they seek out gentler alternatives for digestion, reduce their intake of animal products, or follow plant-based diets.
Coconut-based drinks like Cocobella offer a creamy, satisfying texture without the lactose, making them a popular choice for those with intolerances or looking to cut down on dairy.
Plus, with fewer calories and no added sugar, they tick the box for health-conscious shoppers chasing both flavour and function.
Whether you're a die-hard Cocobella loyalist or just looking for a new way to wake up, this coffee-coconut combo might just be your new favourite fridge find - if you can get your hands on it.
