Seeing these reviews, I gotta give Lollicup some justice especially with this location. I understand some people don't like lollicup as a franchise, but let me tell you why it's actually a hidden gem, especially the Westminster location... coming from a fan of 10+ years and especially from the beginning when the owners were previously operating Teazone before name changing and franchising.
Drinks: I've tried almost their entire menu and not one drink has made me upset or not want to finish my cup. Drinks do water down so best to drink them asap! They also have a really good value deal ( i forget the price but I think it was 3.29) if you would like to try other flavors or can't commit to one. Here are some drinks I like to rotate between:
Royal Milk Tea - no place does it like this. Smooth, milky... a family favorite!
Thai tea slush with grass jelly and whipped cream: this combo never disappoints and surprisingly is a great drink that attracts the sweet tooths (like me) and even non-sweet drinkers like my family
Green/Jasmine milk tea: slightly floral but you can still taste the tea. So good paired with sweet boba
Hazelnut milk tea/slush: so good and the hazelnut is the right amount that I wish coffee places had to bring out the flavor.
Mango Slush: tastes like the mango jelly from asian stores but better! Top it off with lychee jelly and boba and you got a delicious drink!
All in all, I haven't hit a miss with the drinks. In my opinion, boba here is the best - soft and chewy and I actually get a mix between big and mini boba. The hardest thing for boba spots regarding boba is getting texture right AND flavor, and the sweetness is perfect for me.
Food: Amazingly seasoned, crispy, and a MUST when getting Lollicup. No place makes popcorn chicken like this, although bopomofo texture is similar (but not as crispy!). No food has ever missed in flavor or texture. My continuous go tos are the medium spicy popcorn chicken, spicy lemon wings, and calamari. Soooo good. I've also been a fan of their tofu bites and french fries as well although I get these more often with friends as quantity is a lot more!
Service: usually very quick although a longer wait for food, which is worth it for the taste! I also order ahead sometimes to just pick up and they're usually prompt and time the preparation with my estimated arrival so that food isn't cold and waiting for me to pick up. Talk about considerate!
Parking: parking lot does get tight due to other stores in the area, but I honestly haven't had an issue. If you park far, you can also get steps in before feasting at lollicup. Lol
Overall Consensus: what other boba places consistently have drinks/boba you can count on AND delicious food? Usually, it's one or the other, or this place specializes in coffee or matcha or whatever, but not every place can be a great all-rounder like this one. I will be very sad if this place ever closes down as it's been my comfort / guilty pleasure for so many years and I've brought so many friends to.
This post is pretty biased so you can take my opinion like a grain of salt but I've had so many good drink spots in my life, yet I always come back to this one.
P.s. today 12/24 is raining, and I snagged myself a spicy lemon wings . So yummy, crispy, and workers did well to protect it from rain!
