Lollicup Coffee & Tea

Just had the pork and noodles for $ 5. Very good for the price point, will be back to try others food items. they only had 5 or 6 dishes so this place is more of a tea and smoothie place than a full fledged restaurant.

New owners make it a whole new ball game at what used to be Lollicup to now «Yes Café»; Amazing hot boba. Recommend trying it if you haven’t before!

A very consistent boba tea place to go to. You aren’t going to be surprised by what you’re getting if you’ve had boba before.
Recently it seems that they changed the name of this place. I’m not sure if there is a new owner or not, but they aren’t called Lollicup anymore. Still a good reliable place though.
They should have named the placed Lollimug, haha.

This place is now called «Yes Café». Named changes recently but same friendly owners!

Came here with my friend a Chandler native. Apparently the place changed ownership. The owner at the counter was great helping find a good drink we ended we getting carried away and ordered fried chicken, dumplings and minced pork rice. there were so many to choose from we had a hard time deciding. They also had many different lunch boxes that I can’t wait to try next time I’m in town.
What I loved was how everything was authentic Taiwanese. The owner even gave us extra slices of oranges on the house it felt like having my favorite aunty behind the counter. I got jasmine milk tea with boba the tea wasn’t too sweet and boba was chewy. My friends taro milk tea was not bad if you like that purple flavor.
Overall:
Service:4
Milk tea: 3.5 for Az 3ish for SoCal standards
Snacks/​food: 4

Always friendly and quick! I love my milk tea with boba, just wish it was closer to where I live. Being from San Jose I’m use to one on every corner. I could honestly drink this everyday!

Recently heard about this place from a Taiwanese friend, found out basically every Asian kid in the east valley had grown up frequenting this place.
To make up for lost time, I’m pretty much there every day after work now…
There are a million reasons to go to Lollicup, but I’ll point out a few.
1. Authentic Taiwanese Boba Tea. No mushy, undercooked boba, these ones are nice and chewy. Milk tea a little sweet, but that’s to be expected.
2. Taiwanese food. Their pork chop, fried chicken rice combo (BianDang) is portioned generously at around 6 or 7 bucks a plate. You’d get some veggies, meat, marinated tofu (Lu Dofu) and rice, just like you would get in Taiwan.
3. Although Lollicup is a franchise (out of Cali?), this lollicup is family owned, the owner a genuinely nice lady from Changhua, Taiwan that goes above and beyond for her customers. Dig it, customer service is kind of a rare concept for Chinese people. (Yes… I’m stereotyping my own people) ¹⁰⁄₁₀
4. Price? Reasonable. 2 or 3 bucks for a cup of boba tea, hot or ice. ugh. Love.
5. If you like to get your sweet and sour chicken on from places like panda express, samurai sam’s or any other run of the mill Chinese american places, go to lollicup and try something new. While you’re at it, support a local business! Kill two birds with one stone.
Best kept asian secret in the east valley.

I love it! It’s such a chill place. When we got there it was about 9:45pm and there were people playing cards and just chillin. Friendly staff and they are open till 11pm.

New owner, no more mean lady! I boycotted this place because of the previous owner, but back to give new owner business! Good soft chewy boba, yummy drinks, good customer service! Got the fresh watermelon slush and thai tea slush — 2 for 2… Score!!!

TLDR; Lollicup @ Dobson road under new management = better customer service experience.
I am originally from the DC /​Maryland /​Virginia area. While I was in college, we had a Lollicup near campus that I used to frequent. Unfortunately, the establishment was shutdown one day during my junior year. That was a very sad day for me.
So naturally, despite the many reviews about a fire-​breathing raging bitch with a 10-​foot pole lodged in her anal cavity (I claim no credit for the creative word choice), I just had to give this place a try — for nostalgia’s sake.
However, the woman who took my order was not what I had originally imagined. Instead of wrinkles from furrowing her brow too much, she had kind crows feet (my Ma always taught me these wrinkles come from smiling a lot). My girlfriend and I took forever to order and instead of rushing us, she helped us decide on a good dish to share. We ended up going with banana cream bubble tea and stir-​fried rice noodles (in her broken English, she warned me this wouldn’t mix very well, but whatever I love banana-​flavored shiz). My girlfriend and I were both very satisfied with the meal, the pork was tender and the portions were substantial.
Wondering why there was such a discrepancy between my own customer experience and what Unilocal was telling me, I decided to straight-​up ask what the deal was. Turns out the place is very recently under new ownership — I repeat: hi-​ho the witch is gone. To those who were turned off to this place by the old owner, I would give it another try — the drinks, food, and customer experience were all g.

It’s a toss up between «A-​OK» and «Meh, I’ve experienced better». It is a franchise, though, so I shouldn’t be surprised, yeah?
Dude and I popped in here for «dessert» after dinner at Tokyo House. We’ve passed it a million times after trips to Video Paradise, so why not?
First of all, the woman at the register should consider removing the ten foot pole from her ass cavity.
Second, being someone who works in the mechanical contractor industry. .. I know there are better ways at being energy efficient other than keeping your store at steamy temperatures. Hey, that explains the lady. I’d be pissed off too sweating all day.
I tried the Thai Iced Tea with added Boba, and dude got a Strawbery Slush with yes, Boba. It was just OK. Could have used some larger straws to get the Boba. I think we just grabbed the wrong ones, haha.
No credit card unless your purchase is $ 10+.
Move along, nothing special here sums it up.

Don’t get me wrong Food is pretty good if you do not care about service, owner is pretty surly and rude most of the time, but if you get past that your fine. If you do go in go in for the food the beef rolled in pita is pretty good I think the best on the menu is the coffee and tea boba.
Under New Management!
Much much better have it a go the people actually say thank you for once :)

This doesn’t compare to bubble tea in Richmond or Seattle, but this is surprisingly good. The original bubble milk tea does not have an overwhelming tea flavor, yet isn’t too milky, nor is it too sweet. I’ll definitely be coming back for more.

This last time was meh. Service was meh, didnt get greeted, just took my order. (typical though) but this time it took a lil longer than usual to make. plus the drinks were also meh, not very good for the milk tee and the slush was too artificial tasting. is it too much to ask for a decent tasting DRINK!!!
PRO:
— the boba itself is always perfect, nice and soft and chewy
Cons
–everything else is meh.

Reading these reviews, it looks like the lady behind the counter treats everyone like shit. That’s kind of good, I guess. I didn’t want to be the only one.
She wasn’t TOO rude to me, she was mostly just weird. I got a watermelon juice and boba. I was telling my girlfriend that that sounded deeeelicious. I was like, «Mmmm watermelon juice, yeah!» and the lady behind the counter was like, «It’s not a juice. It’s a slush. Like a slosh.»
«That’s fine,» I said. On the menu, it’s labeled as watermelon juice so when I put in my order, I said it again and, again, she goddamn corrected me. Look, bitch, if you don’t want me to call it JUICE, don’t CALL it juice on the menu. Change it. Update it. It’s yours! Or, do you enjoy annoyances and pet peeves so that you can argue semantics?
Then, get this fucking shit: My total was something like $ 8.12 and she charged me *$ 88.12*!! That’s almost NINETY fucking dollars! She re-​charged me, but half-​assed it because my bank account balance didn’t reflect the correct amount for at least 3 days. So, for a couple days, I was just fucked, I was out $ 80 because of this lady.
Sure, the boba was good but holy fuck it’s not worth being treated like a tit and having my money taken away from me for three days.

Why can’t more boba places open after 9PM! Lollicup is decent, but not the best. A good selection boba drinks and inexpensive snack foods. My favors are the beef roll, beef noodles, and fried tofu. If you have been to a Lollicup in Cali, don’t expect the same level of boba quality or service here.

The Thai tea slush with boba was so good I’ve been craving it for the past 24 hrs and went back again today…
Customer service was much, much better today.

Almond snow! Love it. I did not get boboa because I had some earlier in the day. The customer service is slightly lacking.

I disagree with all my friends who prefer Boba Tea House, I swear the actual milk tea here is better but I guess I’m not a milk tea connoisseur. I’ll have to agree that this doesn’t compare to any of the boba shops in Cali or even with The Street in hip décor, but it’s perfect for when I’m driving by and wanting boba. The owner isn’t really rude, I think she just tends to be a sarcastic Asian lady. Either way, me and my brother have been there many times before and she remembers our faces and our orders (the only thing that changes for me is the size I choose to get).
Sometimes there are just too many fobs here, though, who just stare as you come in and walk up to the register. Grr fobs.

Eh was definitely not as good as the other boba house, in tempe
The boba was sorta not up to par and my melon slush was more like semi cold melon milk. Also one drink that was about 16 oz was 5 – 6 dollars
Im down to give lollicup another try but I’ve found that mom and pop places are usually better at boba (or maybe I’m just spoiled by Cali Boba Shops)
