Lollicup Fresh — Restaurant in Artesia

"I spy a lovely bunch of boba butts. There they are, all standing in a row. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head. Give them a slurp, maybe a burp. That's what the hipster said." - parody of "I've Got a Lovey Bunch of Coconuts", Monty Python

First time hitting up Lollicup. Seems like it's been here forever. After having dinner at Ten Ten Seafood Restaurant, I recalled seeing BOGO Milk Tea Boba at Lollicup and seemed some after dinner boba action was what was called for. I usually frequent Quickly, as they have the best value for boba milk tea, but Lollicup was just a few suites down & more convenient.

Milk tea boba w/ choice of standard or mini-sized boba- Nice to have the option of boba size. I chose the mini boba to go with my drink. A tad on the sweeter side, the milk tea boba was delicious & refreshing. The boba balls had the right consistency of chewiness, and the small size made me feel better about caving in & indulging in sugary sweetness. Great on a hot September day!

Lollicup has a plethora of sweet drinks to choose from, with the accompanying menagerie of add-ons. Lunch specials are available M-F, such as popcorn chicken and the like. Free Wifi.

Service was good. I had my drink within just a few minutes. A few tables to sit inside and also al fresco. Parking is in a private lot at the 99 Ranch Market plaza. Lollicup is located next to Five Taste Kitchen.

Jolly for Lollicup! My milk tea boba hit the spot, with each sip bringing a smile to my face. BOGO definitely helps compete with the other local boba options, like Dolphin Bay Café across the street. If I'm shopping in this plaza again, which I will since I'm there all the time, then I could see myself coming in for another go of boba to the...

I usually like to call ahead and order, the phone rang awhile but was finally picked up. I was told to hold on the line. Seven minutes later, I was still on hold as I step into the store.

The server greeted me and I said: you can hang up the phone now, I am here.

He picked up the phone in front of him and said: oh, sorry.

I ordered an appetizer popcorn chicken and he asked if I want any spice at all. Extra spicy, I want my chicken red, said with a smile.

The chicken came out pail white with some red(see pictures).

At least he asked if that was enough or not , if not, he can ask them to add more.

The thing is that the seasoning is best to apply when it first came out of the fryer otherwise, the seasoning won’t stick as well.(sorry, I am a picky eater; I love my food)

I can understand that not e Tetons ears as spicy as I do but it doesn’t seem like they have a standard spiciness level. The chicken I got was more like a mild. You be the judge.

The chicken was very tender and cooked just...

I try to never pass up a bargain when it comes to food or beverages. I came in because if an advertisement of half off when getting two milk teas. I got one with mini boba and one plain, both half sweet and iced. Refreshing without being too sweet or strong on tea ( it can sometimes taste bitter). Solo young man was courteous and efficient- taking orders and preparing them. There's a kiosk for placing your order as well. Cute little spot in the same plaza as 99 Ranch grocery. Right next door is a newly opened Hawaiian BBQ restaurant. Parking can be a little bit hard depending on on the time of day. They also are confident about the heat seal on takeout containers- they put them side by side with one literally upside down in the bag to conserve space! The tea also kept well overnight refrigerated. So I had one for the day and one for...
