    Popcorn chicken close up
    Steve H.

    We decided to stop by Lollicup Fresh of Alhambra because young ones are hungry for snack at tea time. It's Sunday afternoon, the small bubble tea specialty chain store has been around for a long time. It's fairly bright, clean with seating inside. Service is friendly. Price is really reasonable. We got the minced ground pork rice and popcorn chicken (mild)for $8 each! They are both tasty and authentic Taiwanese style. I took off a point because we really want to try shave ice for $8, but the seating area is closed (lack of worker or other issues). Overall, this is a gem in the area if you want to eat snacks. They are not the fastest, but the price and food quality is above the chart.

    Lollicup Fresh has been a long term staple in the Alhambra area for years! While it isn't the best tea spot in town, you definitely get your money's worth. I usually come here for the ground pork bowl as it is still under $10 and is quite filling. This place is strictly to go only, as they have closed off their dining area since C19. The service here is always friendly, and the staff is quick for your service. There's plenty of street parking in the front, and a 2 level structure parking in the back. The store itself is relatively small but it is clean.

    I found this place on yelp, and seemed it was good based on their majority of reviews. Their food was way too salty, and not much taste but only just too much salt. Seemed like someone who is not chef cooked this meal. I tried their most popular menu items with milk tea, however my experience was very disappointing. The tea was also not good. I even couldn't finish , ate just small amount, and had to throw away the rest. It was just a waste of money.

    boba milk tea and almond milk tea with taro pudding

    My boyfriend likes to drive, and I don't, so I feel like we are complementary in that area. He was enjoying a drive and took me to get boba at Tapioca Express next door, but they were closed. Not sure if it's closed for now or closed forever, but we still got our boba fit next door at Lollicup. This location of Lollicup in Alhambra doesn't really have any seating to sit and hang out. It seems like it's more of a take-out spot. My sweet boyfriend had a regular Signature Milk Tea with Honey Boba ($4.45) and I had their Almond Milk Tea with Taro Pudding ($6). The drinks were quickly made, but when we got them it looked so small. The cups definitely shrank from what I remember Lollicup regular sizes to be, while the pricing went up. Nevertheless we still enjoyed our boba. This would have been my high school self's young dreams come true having a boy drive me to get boba. Goals! Not sure if I would go out of my way for Lollicup but definitely would consider if already in the area.

    My favorite spot for popcorn chicken and calamari. There was a short period when the food wasn't quite the same, but lately the quality and portion sizes have noticeably improved and stayed consistent. I'm really glad to see them back on track. Prices are reasonable and the service is always friendly.

    my family and i have been coming here for two years! this is the most superior lollicup we have ever been to because the food is so incredibly fresh. every time we are nearby, we have to get the popcorn chicken, the fried tempura, the calamari, and the calamari balls. it's seasoned with the best taiwanese seasoning and sprinkled with FRIED BASIL, which is how you know it's gonna be delicious. the food can take more than a few minutes, but that goes to show how fresh it is, it comes out steaming hot and the popcorn chicken is soo crunchy and juicy and nearly burns my mouth while im trying to gobble it down! and AGAIN the food is amazing. you can get a plate of rice with braised pork, sauteed string beans, and mapo tofu with a whole regular sized serving of popcorn chicken, with a drink! talk about a great combo, cooked with actual love and care. i loooooove the string beans here! i do love the managers here, theyre so friendly and they always welcome my family. they closed off the seating area inside but theres a couple chairs next to the cashier. the inside is super nostalgic of those early 2010 boba shops and this shop in particular reminds me more of a small business than a chain, because of how distinctly different and better it is than most others. i love the food here and i love how it's become a tradition in my family. PLEASE get their popcorn chicken!! soo good they also have their own parking structure in the back which is free!

    I always come here for the crispy tofu it is so good , i would recommend mild because the spicy can be a bit to hot . I also recommend the popcorn chicken.

    Fast, tasty, pretty drinks. Lots of posters to show you what you might want. Was happy with the drink. Street parking.

    My Lollicup experience was amazing. The employees were kind and friendly. The store was clean and easy to navigate. Our drinks were prepared in 5 minutes. My snow crunch with boba was delicious. And the brown sugar milk tea with boba was also really good. 5/5 will be back! -Jazzy C.

    Good place to study if you like cafe's. I personally like the high chairs when I study and not many coffee shops have it.

    What is the current open hours schedule?

    It varies each day, so I suggest you call first.

    Do they use real milk here or creamer? Do they use real fruits or powder?

    I believe they use half and half creamer for the milk tea.

So many times I've had to wait around for 5+ minutes for my drinks that are already ready because they're dealing with people who are taking their time to order, drinking samples, asking questions, deciding what they want, etc. It's a very frustrating experience because this could be easily solved by having another employee up there or having someone dedicated to checking if anyone's waiting for online orders... I understand that the worker is busy and trying their best- I wish management would add a second person so it's less stressful for the worker and for the customer picking up. They usually have two people work the front at their other location in Diamond Bar- they would definitely benefit from doing the same here. I hope that in the future they have someone else who can help by paying attention to people picking up online orders. Otherwise it feels like I'm not skipping the line, I'm still waiting in it.

I usually ask for less ice and 0% percent sugar since it's already sweetened with honey. The oolong is fragrant, smooth and tastes high quality, making every sip a treat. This drink instantly brightens my day. The staff are friendly and ordering from the self-service kiosk makes it quick and easy. It's definitely a grab and go spot. The only downside is that the shop is tucked toward the back of the plaza, somewhat hidden and parking can be difficult during busy times. I usually have better luck finding street parking.

There was a steady stream of people coming and leaving at all times. We ordered from the self serve kiosk. We waited 20 minutes for our drinks when there were only 3 people ahead of us. The drinks were watered down in comparison to other places despite being less ice for two drinks. The hojicha latte with brown sugar pearls is only available on weekends. The tea taste and milk didn't mesh together well. Oolong tea with pudding also tasted more like water than tea. The pudding was overwhelming. It is similar (if not the same) as ones you get from japanese convenience stores. For the price point, I would have expected berger taste and quality. The wait wasn't worth it for what was being served. I don't think I'd come back to this location but might give it another try elsewhere.
