I love their extra spicy popcorn chicken & boba milk tea slush. I come here almost every day this week. But the popcorn chicken wait time is a little bit longer. read more

Lollicup - Taste not bad, but don't eat too much, a little bit oily - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

See all

Got a taro boba and it wasn't horrible but definitely not good either. To be honest I wasn't expecting much but I just really wanted boba and this was the only place available nearby. The taro tasted super artificial (but so does many other places) and the boba's texture was chewy but the taste was a bit weird. read more

Some of the worst service I've received in awhile. Extremely rude woman who asked if I had cash when I offered my credit card, and when I responded no she proceeded to roll her eyes at the fact I didn't have cash.. She continued to train someone how to make my drink instead of doing it herself, after waiting ten minutes for my drink and dealing with her rudeness and horrible customer service , I find a piece of green sponge fabric IN MY DRINK. SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I love Lollicup, from the boba drinks to the fried tofu. Unfortunately, this particular location does not seem to have the same customer service or food standards!! Seriously, they are destroying the Lollicup image completely! First Dirty - The location is fine but the cleanliness standards are subpar. This place looks like you walked into a smelly ghetto. Seriously, they need some proper ventilation for the kitchen and employees who actually clean. Second Bad Staff - The staff is rude and unaccommodating whatsoever. I literally stood there waiting for service for 15minutes before someone assisted me?! Third Bland Drinks / Gross Food - My drink was sloppily made which is very odd considering how can that even be possible. They made this impossibility possible! They obviously are not following the proper formula and either under-syrup or over-syrup the drinks. Anything you request blended somehow comes out chunky too. The food is not much better, Very odd. Overall This place needs a visit from corporate! The staff need proper education on how to prepare drinks / food and customer service. The longer it continues this way, the worse Lollicup's image in this area will become... read more

What I love about this place is their prices. Yes, prices. If you live in Diamond Bar, almost EVERYTHING is super expensive. However, this Lollicup never fails. PROS: * BOGO Specials are on the wall. * Friendly guy who works there. CONS: *Just wondering, do you guys ever spray or clean that sofa? It's really dirty looking. * Long wait, depending on WHAT you order. They are short staffed, so when you go when they are busy, just understand how it feels to be them. If I were you, I'd stop bitching and just wait. It wouldn't hurt to wait a bit now, would it? Note: For HK lovers, they have this little machine where you pay $1 or so to get a cute HK toy! read more

Ran out of boba ... oh well! They will be closed Feb 6, 2017 through Feb 16th, 2017 for remodeling... read more

My first time coming to Diamond Bar. I had some time left to kill so we drove around and saw Lollicup. Boba time~ I was excited. As soon as I walked in, I was genuinely confused. It was dark in there. We had no idea if it was open or not. The only lady there working was really rude. I was confused just by being there. She did not bother greeting customers. I overheard the customers saying this is not the right order, etc. It was really just unpleasant being there. I just wanted a boba, but I didn't even get to order because the lady did not bother to look at us. I felt really weird being there. I barely leave bad reviews. read more

I came here w a friend to grab some drinks. It said that it was open at 10:30. However, when I arrived, the doors were locked and the inside was dark! Um hello! it's 11! Open up! Later that day, I read a Yelp review that said there were remodeling until the 16th. It's the 19th. Are you too lazy to open??? Open up next time when you say you are read more

This review is strictly and ONLY for the service, cleanliness and snack foods I order! I am lactose intolerant and I'm not a fan of boba or sweet tea drinks, so I don't order drinks here. The popcorn chicken (mild or super spicy), porkchop, porkchop rice, fried squid balls, and fried calamari are SO, SO delicious!! Wonderful snacks that will surely please your taste buds. The young cashiers here have always been really friendly and welcoming. Sorry, no credit cards, booooo....CASH ONLY. The place feels a bit dumpy and dirty, so I knocked off one star for that. They need new tables, chairs, counters, and decor. read more

I was wondering why this place had such a horrible rating for being a boba place. After waiting about 25 minutes just for milk tea I figured out why the ratings were so bad. When we first got to the location there was only one other person in front of us (we were 3). At the time we finished our order, two parties came in right after. The cashier, and only employee at the time, knew one of the customers and started talking to them. You could tell within seconds the employee was getting overwhelmed by all of the sudden orders coming in. My friends and I were still chit chatting, so at that very second we didn't mind the wait. You could tell the person ahead of us was getting impatient and I'm guessing the employee noticed since he told her it'd be a couple of more minutes. The worse part is one of the employee's friends decided to walk into the kitchen and decided to lend a helping hand in the kitchen. He walked into the kitchen about 3 times. The fact that this guy was just a random customer and he kept walking in and out of the kitchen was kind of gross. He obviously did not wash his hands since he would walk directly into the kitchen. I'm not even sure if he worked there or not, but the fact that he was just some random guy prepping the drinks really grossed me out. Is this even sanitary? More than 10 minutes had gone by and we were starting to get annoyed. Fifteen minutes went by and the guy had JUST finished the order for the person ahead of us. Twenty minutes into our visit I finally asked if our drinks were ready and the employee said, "I called out one of your drinks already, I'm just working on the rest. Sorry" We were seated directly next to the kitchen and we never heard our drink get called. I should mention, two other orders who ordered after us got their order before us. Once the rest of our drinks were done the guy said, "Sorry about the wait, I did upgrade your drinks due to the wait". What upgrade? We all got what we ordered with no change. read more

I used to always get boba and food from this Lollicup since it was the closest one to my house... One day after getting my pedicure from next door I wanted some boba, but the they were closed. Why? VERMIN INFESTATION!!! UUGGHH!!! (BARF!) Yea... enough said... read more

Any boba fan will know the chewy goodness of boba. What is boba? Boba is a gelatinous ball made of tapioca. They're boiled and put inside a drink usually made of some kind of tea but can be a variety of other flavors. The beauty of it all is that you get to decide what flavor you want. But herein lies one of life's problems. What flavor should one choose? Lollicup has an incredible number of flavors to choose from, and I can safely say that no one has tried every single flavor they offer (except maybe the employees). Being the cheap bastard that I am, I nearly always gravitate toward their $1 special or some kind of 2-for-1 offer. It's a good thing Thai Iced Tea, Grass Jelly and other (strange for white people) flavors are always on their special offer list. One of my childhood friends was from Taiwan so I have no qualms about any of these "exotic" flavors. In fact, these flavors delight me because they remind me of my summer days, gobbling-up whatever fruity goodness my Taiwanese friend's refrigerator stored. Although Lollicup offers little snackies like fried calimari and other crunchy morsels, I'd rather save my money for another round of boba drinks. DB Food Critic Rating: Must Go read more

I used to love this Lollicup. If you asked me to Yelp this place when I was in high school, I would have given 5 stars, but now I feel like even 3 stars is pretty generous. Yes, it's true - this is probably the most ghetto Lollicup ever. It's weird because I know they've re-done the interior several times, but it always ends up super run down. This isn't the type of boba place where you would want to get drinks and chill with your friends (like Ten Ren, Tea Station etc.). It's more of a place where you get your order and go elsewhere for fear that you will get fleas from their nasty sofa. With that said, I come back because I like their boba. They're soft and chewy and my all time favorite boba. They also have some good drink specials like buy 1 get 1 free Thai tea and 2 for $3something milk teas. I also think their food is good, but be prepared to wait. I always thought the wait for food was on the long side, but when I came in this weekend and ordered food for 5 people, it was ridiculous. I seriously waited for close to an hour! I felt bad for the people who came in after me because they also to wait a super long time due to my large order. Oops. If you want food, I highly recommend calling ahead. So in conclusion... Diamond Bar Lollicup is good for to-go drinks and take out (call ahead!), but not good for hanging out and would get negative stars for ambiance. read more

The lollicup is the most bizarre ones I've ever seen. Shadiest looking lollicup in a pretty normal neighborhood... The size of the dine-in is small and cramped. They had an AC unit sitting next to their impaired magazine rack which are filled with magazines no one would want to read. They have a book shelf on the side with chipped paint that matches the ruined walls around us. Had this been a post-apocalyptic neighborhood, this would actually be quite quaint. Despite all that, the place seems rather clean even though you are sure it's dirty. The place is pretty cheap for a boba fix, and they take cash only to keep costs down. As with everyone else, the popcorn chicken is superb and is comparable to Guppy House. But the wait time for food is astronomical and it's more than a little irritating. Had I known that it would've taken that long to make the popcorn chicken, my wife and I would have settled for just the boba and be done with it. Selection is quite large in the types of drinks you want. I am partial to the Almond milk tea, and my wife likes the classic boba milk. Boba is also textured really well. Not a lot of places make good boba, this one does it decently read more

While my general experience with Lollicup has been terrible, this one seems to be more authentic and prepares better drinks than the others to which I have been. The ambiance here, which may go along with it being an authentic hole-in-the-wall, is lacking in every way possible. I definitely got mine to go. I had a simple boba Thai iced tea, and it got the job done. The boba was surprisingly not terrible, which has been my experience with all the other Lollicups. It was a good deal, there was no crowd, and the product was satisfactory. Alright! read more

Spotted this place while I was driving around Diamond Bar and thought I'd give it a try since I love boba. The boba is good, soft and chewy. I have tried the taro flavored boba: a bit sweet, but still refreshing. Downsides are the long wait and the uncleanliness. There were only a few customers ahead of me, but I waited a while for my boba. While I was waiting, I noticed the counters were dusty as if it hadn't been cleaned in ages! There was also a random empty soup bowl on the counter that must have been sitting there for hours.... Behind the register, everything seemed to be cluttered. While I waited for my drink, I hoped that the ingredients would not be as poor as the unkempt environment. Well, I survived without any problems and was relatively happy with my boba. I have avoided coming back here because of the unclean environment. I won't be back unless I hear that has changed. Tip: Bring cash. read more

"Never judge a book by its cover." Well you can definitely judge this Lollicup by its decor. Drinks- Ok, same as Tap-Ex...cheap & sugary Food- Takes awhile... everything is fried Prices- CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP! Come on now...Buy 1 get 1 free drinks? I love their grass jelly juice, for about $3 you can get 2 of them! You cannot get the 2 drinks at Ten Ren or Tea Station under $8, ok? So of course you cannot expect walking into a Lollicup hoping for the atmosphere of Ten Ren or Tea Station. I agree...its a bit shitty looking, but jeez, they tried at least! I mean, look at all the cool ikea furniture. Don't you have ikea furniture?? read more

I do like the lavender milk tea from them it's very milky in the sense of a heavy use of creamer. The price is decent, but only if you really need a bubble fix. The place is small and it's a bit on the dark side. The person that was there was very nice but I was so confused by what she was talking about I still ended up spending 8 dollars for two cups or something which is high for California standards. I thought it was get one large and the other one free or something it ended up getting. Two large and a small One for 50 percent off. I had a jet leg and didn't get what she meant, and it was walking distance for me. Not that people I see a lot of people here walking for me 2 miles is a walking distance too. The person is nice but let's just say that there is a fearce competition of bubble tea in this area and I'm sure it is known. read more

Compared to other boba places, it's not great. However, compared to other boba places in the price range, such as Quickly, Lollicup is definitely better. This one always has specials, like 2 boba milk teas for $3.50 or buy one get one thai tea. Also, it's 10% off for Crunch members. I go for the Groupon, which makes it less than $1 per milk tea when Groupon has coupons. It's amazing. The popcorn chicken is legit, except the quality varies a bit. I do hate that they don't put prices up on the main menu, although I wouldn't get most of the other drinks unless there's a deal anyway. The inside is small, with maybe 2 tables. read more

Yup. One of the most ghetto-looking Lollicup franchise I"ve ever seen. You'll see what I mean when you're there...oh wait...I don't recommend it. :/ They really need to remodel the whole place if they want more businesses. Basically, it's a regular boba place with many items on the menu, but they don't list the prices on there. wth? So you better have something in mind already before you order or you're going to have to ask the owner/cashier how much each item is one by one. Also, the hot grass jelly was more like hot grass water....Urgh. Milk tea also tasted pretty blend. Not to mention that service was very uninviting as well. Never again. read more

Love the new interior! Finally changed it. Now it's a much nicer place to have a drink.

This doesn't have the best Thai Iced Tea boba, but the prices are worth the trip--so long as you're carrying cash. They have a cool deal, where if you buy one small Thai Iced Tea boba, you can either get another one free or you can upgrade to a large Thai Iced Tea. It's a tiny place, but has some seating as well. They also offer kids sizes. They're honest people as well--I accidentally left a valuable item here and they stored it for safe keeping. Also, they changed from a B grade to an "A" so good for them. Basically, Lollicup gets the job done! read more

No offense but when my bf took me here (since I've never been to a Lollicup before), the first thing I said was "Why are you taking me to a janky Lollicup!" LOL. The outside needs some cleaning and sprucing up and so does the inside... It was extremely warm when we got inside, which was weird since it was cooler outside... shrugs. My bf got his milk tea and I decided I wanted a tea drink. At first I ordered the guava green tea, but they were out of guava. So then I asked the worker, which was better: Peach or Mango green tea. She didn't really have a clue... so I asked, which was less sweet? She wasn't really sure... -.- so I just picked the Peach flavor. They were out of boba and only had the mini boba, which I found was weird because after our order, they were completely out of mini boba and the customers after us had to wait 10min for a new batch of boba. Oh and fyi, they don't take card here, only cash. I only had a $50 bill on me and they don't take anything over a $20 bill.... -.- Good thing my bf was there to pay for my drink! This place is okay, but I think I'll just stick with my Tapioca Express :) read more

Cash only if you are getting two bobas. They have no public restrooms. They have coconut jelly but it's not on their menu. I got a boba sour green apple with coconut jelly and it was really good. My boyfriend got Vanilla boba and I finished it too! read more

This Lollicup needs a face lift and a good scrub down! It's located in the same strip mall as Chase, Kayla sushi, and Citibank. The windows are dirty and the place looks filthy. I usually fulfill my milk tea cravings else where but really wanted a hot Almond Milk Tea. I've had it at other Lollicups but was hesitant about this location. Since it's down the street from me, I decided to give it a shot! My Almond Milk Tea had a very subtle taste of almond and felt very watered down. My craving was not satisfied! read more

I come here usually after I'm done visiting Walmart, but it's a decent boba spot! The staff here is very nice and I usually go for the flavored tea drinks. Passion fruit green tea and peach green tea are really good. I recommend if you're craving something sweet! I often go to Sunright or Ding Tea but I come here too. read more

Lollicup is not what it used to be. This location is particularly sad. Everything from the lighting to the pictures on the walls to the powdered tea is drab and screams old. It's cheap, but even the price isn't really worth it. I will for sure drive an extra 10 min to Ten Ren's or basically any other establishment next time. Not good. read more

i've only been to this Lollicup twice, and now I remember why. This place is so nasty feeling. I usually go to the Lollicup in Walnut, across from Mt. Sac. It's depressing that this Lollicup is so horrible because this one is so close to my house. I came here a couple days ago with my little brother and his friends, and when I entered, it was hot, humid and down right depressing. The workers there have no sense of customer service, AT ALL. The asian girl, is RUDE. I came in there, and was looking at the menu because my little brother's friends have never tried it before, and when I was placing the order, she kept interrupting me with "okay" and because she was so consumed with wanting to get rid of us, she ended up messing up my order. When we got our drinks, two apple slushies, a mango slush and a taro slush. The apple and taro slush had almost NO FLAVOR. It was like drinking ice with a very, and I mean VERY small hint of apple or taro. The mango slush, was delicious like it always is. I was so disappointed with it. This place does offer a deal Mon-Thurs where you buy a certain slush and you get one free, so that is pretty neat. Unfortunately, this place is so bad, I don't think I will EVER come back here. The people in this Lollicup need to work on customer service, clean up and re-model this place, get air conditioning and work on the speed of service. This place wasn't even busy, yet we waited in that dismal, humid and hot place for almost 10 minutes. Absolutely ridiculous. Never again. read more

I love boba and first sampled it over 10 years ago. For those of you who don't know it's a small black pearl size ball of tapioca cooked in brown sugar or honey. It's served in cold chinese tea. My favorite is almond milk tea and this particular Lollicup location has the softest boba around! If the boba is firm it's no bueno! They also serve a few fried items like popcorn chicken, fish ball, tofu, and tempura calimari. The tofu can get mushy so order it extra crispy. read more

Lollicup - Almond Milk Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Diamond Bar, California

They have all kinds of stupid rules, for example, if you buy one of their buy one get one half off boba milk tea special, you cant get it without boba because it comes with it! so they basically force you to purchase a single milk tea and a single boba milk tea because you have to get the same one! Im not asking to add additional Boba and not pay, so wtf?! And if you come in with a groupon stamp card, they treat you like your a begger. They are rude. And that stamp card usage has a rule with it too---you can only use 2 at a time lol. The store is in desperate need of an upgrade, and at the least, it needs additional lighting. It is so dark in there. read more

You guys need to get your shiznit together, I used to over look your horrible decor because you had decent drinks but shits going down hill quick! attitude needs to improve! you need to stop posting drink specials that you don't have! I walked in on a Saturday and there was a specials sign prominently displaying a special for Mango,pineapple, and watermelon slush, in that order. So I order the Mango "sorry we are out of Mango" OK then give the Pineapple then, "Sorry we are out of the Pineapple". I think to my self "why do you have this sign here offering these flavors is it to piss people off? and get angry reviews on yelp" if so you have succeeded. Anyways I will go back one more time to see if they can Redeem themselves but they still need to clean this place up! read more

The worst Lollicup ever!!! Drinks are so bland taste like water... plus the girl is rude... doesn't know how to take a damn order DONT waste your time coming to this location ! read more

A classic place to stop by on the way to an event or hang out a little bit. I remember when this place opened to cater to the boba craze right before pho got popular. Was that when trucker hats were in? I think that might have been after. But yeah, my friend bought me my first boba drink here. I'm obsessed with this particular chain because their boba is cooked perfectly and their milk tea is mellow and just the right amount of sweetness. You can also buy their oh so juicy popcorn chicken with fried basil. The true test of love is to share it with others. My favorite combination: boba green tea + green apple + strawberry flavoring = love potion #9. If you don't like the look/ taste of boba, they offer pudding, fruit, or mini pearls. They've remodeled in recent years. Look for the tiny shop decorated like stationery. The kind that says: Pleasant cat sees orange sky. Joyful day with you! read more

Disgusting, it must have been the girls working there since Lollicup is a franchise. Bought milk tea, tasted old and watery. That dirty hobo couch and the lighting in the place need to go. read more

Where do I begin with this review? 1. We walked in and ordered our drinks. I'm sitting and what walks in front of me you ask, a huge roach. Disgusting!!! Wow never again coming!! 2. Their service door that leads from the main area to the back is just black with just gunk that has been sitting there in time. It looks like it's never been cleaned. 3. The floors are sticky and seem to never be cleaned and the overall cleaning is not there. Someone needs to really look at this place and let them know they need some changes. Also, I couldn't seemed to have found their grade letter posted. Seems like they are hiding something. What it is who knows. I threw the drink away and never will be come back. There are so many other places pick another place. read more

Best watermelon slushes ever! I def recommend them. I come here almost every day. So goood

Please be mindful going to this place. I went there on Saturday and ordered a drink. The cashier took my cash, gave me change and start preparing my drink, no wash, no sanitizing, no gloves. After she handed the drink to me, I reminded her that she did not follow the health protocol and she just shrugged her shoulders. Will not go to this place again. read more

The place is a bit run down from other boba places. The Wintermelon drink was water down and tasted more like a sugar flavor tea. Not the same quality as Gong Cha. Also had the chocolate flavor drink. That also was not very good. I ended up throwing out my drink in the trash. The boba was ok but the other reviews about water down drinks is correct. read more

This place is pretty sad looking inside, but it was a hot day and I was craving an almond slush and a lot of other tea/boba places don't make it. On the plus side, I think they offer a bunch of discounts and deals to draw people in instead of simply renovating or upgrading their space, haha. Lots of drinks are $2.25. read more

I've been here a couple of times already. This place is never too busy which is a plus. However , it is a bit dingy. Being that it isn't meant to be a sit-down cafe, I guess it can be overlooked since most will just stop in to get their order and go. Don't expect anything fancy. I usually just stop in for a milk tea and / or popcorn chicken. The milk tea boba isn't bad at all. The popcorn chicken can use a bit more seasoning . It is nice and crispy at least. Staff are nice and friendly. Just a good local place to stop in for a quick snack or drink on the run. read more
