Fish Fillet Rice
Phil L.

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.

Brown sugar milk tea with boba, brown sugar milk tea with pudding and boba, snow crunch with boba and whipped cream.

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.

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.

My friends also love their chocolate ones . Each one has a thin crust and generous filling--just be careful not to let the filling burst out when you eat them! Besides cream puffs, I never expected their other pastries to be this delicious Rose Lychee Croissant Their laminating technique is truly impressive--crispy and flaky with a sweet-tangy sauce, perfect for summer. Dubai Chocolate Although it's topped with chocolate sauce, it's not as sweet as expected--perfectly suited to Chinese tastes. The pistachio paste is deliciously fragrant! Kimchi Bacon Roll Number one in my heart! I'm a firm believer in sweet-and-savory combos! It's packed with bacon and eggs , mixed with kimchi, yet has a delightful sweetness--just one bite and my eyes lit up!! Flat & Crispy Like a little snack, crunchy and delicious--I love munching on it while watching TV. Almond Croissant In addition to the crispy almond slices on top, it's filled with a refreshing lemon sauce that's delicious and light. I've had their sesame latte before, and this time I tried their pistachio iced Americano, recommended by a friend! The first sip of the pistachio cream was incredibly rich and delicious. When I asked, I found out they make their own pistachio sauce in-house--it pairs perfectly with the iced Americano!

I tried several cream puff flavors, and I definitely recommend chilling them before eating. The shell stays crisp, and the filling tastes even better cold. My favorites were the Maple Pecan and Black Sesame Hojicha. The maple flavor was noticeable without being overly sweet, and the slightly bitter dark chocolate coating balanced it really well. The black sesame and hojicha combination was also excellent, with a strong nutty flavor followed by a subtle roasted tea finish. The Dubai Pistachio Chocolate Croissant was easily the highlight of my visit. The croissant was flaky and crisp, and the inside was packed with crunchy pistachio kataifi, chocolate, and a generous amount of pistachio cream. The pistachio flavor tasted natural and nutty rather than overly sweet or artificial, and you could actually taste small pieces of ground pistachio. I also really enjoyed the Kimchi Bacon Garlic Roll. It had a great mix of savory, slightly sweet, creamy, smoky, and tangy flavors. The Raspberry Rose Lychee Croffin was lighter and more refreshing, especially after being chilled. The raspberry, rose, and lychee flavors worked surprisingly well together without tasting too floral. Even the Almond Croissant had a nice surprise inside with lemon custard, which helped balance the richness. Their flattened croissant was also incredibly crispy and reminded me of an extra-buttery palmier. I paired everything with the pistachio coffee, which was another standout. The pistachio cream topping was thick, rich, and actually tasted like pistachio instead of just flavored syrup. There are so many creative items here, but the flavors still feel thoughtful and well balanced. I would absolutely come back for the pistachio croissant, cream puffs, and coffee.

My wife wanted to try Torotea, so she sent me to pick it up. It was takeout, and I had a bit of a…read moredrive home. I wasn't a believer. I kept thinking, *"How many boba shops do we really need?"* One thing that stood out was their ordering system - they don't use the usual percentage options for sweetness and ice. Instead, they have "Perfect Sweet" and "Perfect Ice." Whatever that means, right? I was still skeptical. I waited until I got home so my wife and I could try it together. Mind. Blown. Even though it's a bit of a drive for us, we've already gone back three times in a month. That might not sound like much to some people, but for us to make a special trip just for boba says everything. It's not the fastest. You'll probably wait 5-10 minutes in full, but perfection takes time, and it's absolutely worth it. Suggestion: a stamp or loyalty card would be awesome. No disrespect to the brand, but I think the real Torotea fans would appreciate it.

Torotea has become one of my go-to's in the SGV although they are definitely on the pricier side…read more The interior is modern and cozy, but there is no space to sit and chit chat, only a space to sit to wait for drinks. They provide self-serve water outside of the store in the case that there is a long wait. Fortunately, this has never been the case when I have visited. The employees were also super helpful and very well-versed with their menu. They knew exactly what drink paired well with what jelly. All the drinks are true to the taste profile as described on the website. The Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi is one of the most popular items and it was indeed very buttery. It had a very unique taste profile, but definitely not for me. I personally really really really enjoyed the Misty Oolong MT which had a light-roasted, malty flavor with subtle buttery highlights. It paired perfectly with the osmanthus jelly. The best drink Torotea has to offer by far!

I will knock down 1 star because they open at 12 but often, the boba isn't ready until 12:15-1230. The last time I went in, they told me 10 minutes but I stood there for a full 40 minutes before I got my drink. I have to go back to work! Please have boba ready by 1215 or at least be honest about how long I need to wait so I can go somewhere else. Also, parking kinda sucks. I usually park in the next lot and walk over but this does not affect my rating.
