Lollicup Coffee & Tea

Knowing that I would have a long drive back to San Diego ahead of me after a trip to Disneyland, I needed to get some caffeine coursing through my veins. Not wanting the jitters of a Red Bull, I decided to track down some boba. I wasn't familiar with the area but there was nothing but Asian shops in the center so I knew that there must be a place nearby that served some mill tea. I only had to walk outside and around the corner to find what I was looking for...a quaint little Lollicup.

I ordered a large almond milk tea for the ride home and it was delivered lickity split. The boba was pretty good and had just the right consistency and had the faintest coffee flavor. The tea itself wasn't anything special, but it definitely did the trick of keeping me alert on the road home.

It seems like you can find a boba shop on just about every corner these days, but not all of them are created equally. Besides the overpriced stuff at Tea Station, most of the milk teas are pretty much the same. The boba itself is sort of hit and miss and it's really hard to find something really consistent. Being that this was my first, and probably only, visit to this location, I was pretty happy with my boba and would definitely recommend it to anybody that goes to UCI. It also seems like a great place to study, especially with the many outdoor tables in the back where you can share the shade with your dog while sipping on your drink.
