Lollicup Coffee & Tea

I do like Lollicup and the flavors are pretty good, but honestly it is expensive. It’s almost $ 5 for one drink so I tend to stay away from the place unless I really crave it.
I always order their Royal Milk Tea Snow. It’s a slushie-​like milk tea which is pretty sweet but completely addicting. There’s an area for you to wait on the drinks if you’re not dining in for phở. The service really depends on who you get as a server but usually it is decent and it doesn’t take too long for them to make the drink.

Did not realize that the Bubble Tea place inside was a separate «store,» until I was exploring Unilocal places around H-​Mart and came across Lollicup.
First time for bubble tea here, I got the Black Milk Tea, from which a place’s quality and awesome can be measured. Unfortunately, I brought my delish bubble tea back to work and forgot about it for half an hour, at which point I had some and the tapioca had turned semi-​hard =[ Ice had all melted, and the black milk wasn’t that sweet. True, this place is cheaper than Saigon Café’s by a bit, but Saigon Café’s tapiocas stayed soft for awhile. /​sigh
I came back to try some Chai Milk Tea and decided to get it hot. Apparently, cold bubble tea is cheaper — happily, I was not charged extra for hot, since I had already paid. Yay. It was good. Thanks to the hotness, the bubbles didn’t get hard and stayed soft and chewy while I enjoyed it. I would come back again for the hot, but for the price — somewhere around $ 3.50 for a regular size =[

Mm, taro black milk tea.
The tapioca pearls were chewy. The tea was good. The man who made it was nice. But I don’t know if I want to pay $ 4.50 for a drink unless I’m REALLY craving it.

Lollicup is right up there with Quickly for having the best bubble tea in Atlanta. It is a popular bubble tea chain with locations mostly in California. The store can be hard to find because there is no good signage. It is located inside Phở Mimi (same shopping center that houses the Super H-​Mart on Pleasant Hill). The two businesses share the same space. Unless you know this beforehand, it can make Lollicup a challenge to find. I’m sure they would get a lot more business if they had a prominent sign outside like all the other businesses in this shopping center.
Tapioca pearls can really make or break a bubble tea. Good thing the pearls at Lollicup are fresh, making them nice and chewy. I’ve had stale pearls at White Windmill (across the parking lot) and at Thien Thanh (on Buford Hwy.) and stale pearls can totally ruin the drink. According to Addy C, the pearls here are made in-​house, twice daily. My favorite flavors to order are taro and honey milk (black) tea.
Unlike Quickly, Lollicup has a loyalty card you can get stamped for each bubble tea you purchase. Buy nine, get the 10^th free. They also combine loyalty cards. I had two cards with stamps on them and the employee was nice enough to combine the stamps onto one card for me.
The inside of the store is a little weird since Lollicup shares the same space as Phở Mimi. You can either get your bubble tea to go or sit in the restaurant-​style seating area with the Phở Mimi customers. Overall, Lollicup is a good choice for bubble tea.

Yuck… Someone please tell me where to find good pearl tea! I’m from California and maybe I’ve been spoiled with all of those great tasting, thirst quenching, pearl teas from Cali but who actually blends milk teas in a blender!!! I ordered the jasmine milk tea with pearls for about $ 3.50ish. When I got my drink, I had to double check with the worker to see if what I had in my hands was actually jasmine milk tea. For one, my drink looked exactly like milk. Jasmine gives a slight tan or cream color normally in drinks but not this one! And there was also foam, and lots of it, on the top of my drink (probably due to the blending)… Yuck. I do have to admit that the pearls or tapioca was not bad. It did have a slight sweetness to it but I wish it could have been a tad bit softer in texture. I probably won’t come here again unless my friends want to. In that case, I would try something else other than the jasmine milk tea.

I soooo hate to do this but…
What I got tasted like overly sweetened sugar flavored milk. top that off with sweet tapioca pearls=fail.
…I had such high hopes, but won’t be driving up there again to just see if it was just a one time mistake.
…sigh…

Okay wtf why didn’t I know Lollicup was here?
I thought I would never again find a coconut milk tea like the first bubble tea I ever had at a street fair in NYC… but I am 99% certain it has just been found.
Except for exploding it all over the place. I felt like a total idiot, but the guy made me a new one even though it wasn’t that much that spilled out.
It was just as good, and the boba were absolutely perfect. My jaw can be a complete pain in the ass sometimes, so if I can have bubble tea without popping my jaw out of place, I am more than happy.
I just had the lemon black tea, making that two days in a row with bubble tea, and my jaw doesn’t hurt. PERFECT. I have a feeling my little card will be full before it’s September.
I’m not a fan of frozen bubble tea, but I am pretty tempted by some of the smoothie flavors. With so many non-​slushy options, I don’t think I’ll be trying quite yet.

I think Lollicup has one of the best boba b/​c their boba is slightly sweet (everywhere else I’ve tried isn’t), and the texture has the perfect gumminess. They said their boba is fresh, and they make it twice/​day b/​c boba is only good for 8 hrs. They also pride themselves that their tea drinks are made from real tea, not powder like some of their competitors.
Lollicup is a chain, and they’re located inside Phở Mimi. They sell flavored milk teas, smoothies, slushies, & MochaBLAST. Customer favorites are the items w/​a smiley face next to it :) Prices for flavored milk teas range from $ 2.25−3.25. Boba & jelly are an extra $.50.
I got a sample of the black milk tea & taro milk teas, and they were both very yummy. But today I was in the mood to try something different so I got Jasmine Milk Tea w/​boba. When I first tasted it, it wasn’t sweet at all so the lady added a 2^nd scoop of sweetener — it was still not sweet (compared to the black & taro milk tea), but the lady explained that jasmine is a much stronger tea. I did like that I could taste the jasmine tea flavor. However next time, I’d get black milk or taro milk tea.
Lollicup has loyalty cards — get 9 drinks, and get the 10^th drink free.

I’m sure the food is OK here (Lollicup is located inside Phở Mimi) but the bubble tea @ Lollicup is where its at. A wide variety of flavors, properly soaked boba, and speedy service. I prefer to get the non-​slushy bubble tea that many of the shops serve in Atlanta. It’s a bit of a trek from Midtown but it’s always been worth it. You can complete your trip with stops at Super H Mart and Book Chang Dong (Korean tofu house) in the same shopping center.

Okay, I’m sure that Lollicup isn’t «as good as it gets» if you live on the West Coast. But if you’re like me and have lived in the South all your life, it’s freaking excellent.
Three words: NON-​SLUSHY BUBBLE TEA. (Wait, non-​slushy counts as one word, right? RIGHT?)
I remember hearing about bubble tea from my West-​Coast friends on the Internets years and years ago before it was popular here in the ATL. I always wanted to try it, and one day in 2003 or so I found it at a phở place and finally did. Even though I’d never seen it before, I remember being surprised (and vaguely disappointed) that what I got was slushy.
Lollicup serves non-​slushy bubble tea. The boba are good and the tea is flavorful. I had the taro milk tea and was in heaven. There were a million and three different drink options, and I’m sure I will eventually be back to try more.
Good stuff. Oh, and the logo is cute, too.

The lady was so nice and talkative. It was basic drinks, nothing great nothing horrible. The boba was a bit better than other places because even though it was silky soft, it still had a firmness and didn’t break up. I don’t usually drink boba tea but since reviews say it’s the best in Atlanta, Lollicup needs some help getting known. If it wasn’t because of Unilocal,I wouldn’t have know this place existed in Phở Mimi.

Thanks Unilocalers!!!
Through the Unilocal website, i was able to find this store in Atlanta area. My sister is a FAN of this place now! She loves boba tea, even my nephew loves this place. The boba is pretty good here, still has a little «chew» to it. The drink itself was a little too sweet for me. Since I am spoiled with many boba places out in the Bay area, this place is not bad considering it’s in the Atlanta area.

Nice! A lollicup in Atlanta!
This location is very inconsistent so it gets a 3. The first time I had it, the girl was great. The teas were perfectly blended with the added flavors. You still could taste the tea without the syrup overpowering the drink. I was ready to give it a high 4.
On my next visit, (different tea mixer) I found the same drinks to be extremely syrupy — where was the tea? I couldn’t even drink it without adding water.
I’ll still go back. I haven’t lost hope yet!

Yes, it’s true that Lollicup stores are almost everywhere in California. I’m glad that there’s one around here. Too bad it’s hidden inside of Phở Mimi. They have an extensive menu. I still like just plain black milk tea with tapiocas and they make it good.

I took my Lollicup mango tea to go, and a guy in a Georgia Tech t-​shirt stopped in mid-​sentence cell phone conversation, turning to me with a slightly crazed look in his eye — ‘WHERE DID YOU FIND LOLLICUP?!’
Apparently on the west coast, Lollicup is (nearly) as easy to find as Starbucks. Georgia has just one, and it’s hidden inside the Phở Mimi Café, near the Super H Mart.
I’m not well schooled in all things boba and still learning what’s good to order. I’ve had many servers laugh at my attempts to explore this ‘tea drink’ medium (um, how’s the honey green tea one?), so please don’t ask me what to order here.
But I can vouch that there’s a huge selection of crazy drinks. There’s boba, and even mini-​boba (awww.), taro slushes, champagne grape ‘snow,’ red bean milk juice. .. yeah. Lots and lots of options.
I’m sure you advanced boba drinkers know this already, but take heed to that warning about sucking the boba too fast up the straw to avoid things resembling choking.
