Students at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have a new spot to satisfy their cravings for milk tea and more with the introduction of Lollicup Boba & Tea at the Northside Market. This addition to the campus community will be available until the end of 2022, offering a diverse selection of beverages to choose from, including various types of milk tea, regular tea, smoothies, and more.
One of the standout features of Lollicup Boba & Tea is the customization options available to customers. Each drink allows for adjustments in sweetness levels, catering to those who prefer their beverages unsweetened or with reduced sugar. Additionally, customers can enhance their drinks with add-ons such as Crystal Boba, Brown Sugar Boba, Honey Boba, Popped Boba, Aloe Vera, Coffee Jelly, Lychee Jelly, and Rainbow Jelly, each available for an additional $1.00. For those opting for smoothies or milk teas containing dairy, there is also the choice of a $1.00 milk alternative, such as almond milk or oat milk.
Ordering at Lollicup Boba & Tea is made convenient through the use of a screen, allowing customers to customize their drinks without the need for face-to-face interactions. Once an order is placed, customers receive a receipt to be paid at the market’s main counter, where various payment methods, including cash, credit, and debit cards, are accepted.
While navigating the menu, customers are advised to pay attention to add-on options to avoid any confusion. Some drinks already come with boba included, such as the Roasted Brown Sugar Boba Milk, while others do not, like the Thai Milk Tea. Adding boba to a drink that already contains it will result in extra boba and an additional cost. To clarify any uncertainties, customers are encouraged to inquire with staff members regarding the contents of their chosen drinks.
Among the signature drinks offered by Lollicup Boba & Tea are Thai Milk Tea, Roasted Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea, Sweet Sunset Tea, Mango Puree, Pineapple Puree, and Snow Crunch Cookies & Cream Smoothie, in addition to their regular milk teas.
One standout favorite among customers is the Thai milk tea, known for its bold flavor profile and perfect balance of sweetness. For those seeking a unique twist, converting the Thai milk tea into a smoothie offers a delightful alternative. Another notable option is the rose milk tea, which captivates with its rich floral aroma and sweet taste. Similarly, the lavender milk tea offers a subtle floral note, providing a refreshing experience.
For those with a preference for fruity flavors, Lollicup Boba & Tea offers a variety of options in regular teas, including mango tea, pineapple tea, passion fruit tea, peach tea, and more. These refreshing beverages are perfect for hot days and provide a flavorful way to beat the heat.
With its wide range of offerings, including milk tea, fruit tea, flower tea, and smoothies, Lollicup Boba & Tea aims to cater to diverse tastes and preferences. Whether craving a classic milk tea or an adventurous fruity concoction, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at Lollicup Boba & Tea.
Overall, the addition of Lollicup Boba & Tea to UCR’s Northside Market provides students with a convenient and enjoyable beverage option on campus, promising a satisfying experience for all.
