Sometimes you just never know that certain places even exist. Lollicup (http://www.lollicupdenver.com/Place.aspx) is on of those places. It’s kind of hard to find. It’s in a strip mall on the west side of Colorado Blvd., two blocks north of I-25 behind a Village Inn.
The best way to describe Lollicup is that it is a Taiwan slushy/tea café. In addition to teas and juices it also Snow Bubble beverages which are creamy and Slush beverages which are ice-blended. You can get then in a variety of fruit flavors like blueberry, raspberry, passion fruit, peach, mango, etc. or more exotic flavors like sour plum, ginger, jasmine, lychee or red bean.
We got two Snow Bubbles, one was cranberry and one was lavender. With each drink you have the option of adding BoBa balls (made from a mixture of tapioca and carrageenan powder), aka Bubbles, which have the consistence of gummy candies, don’t have much taste, are black, and sink to the bottom of the drink. We go Boba balls (Bubbles) in the cranberry drink. While each drink tasted good, I didn’t understand the point of the Boba balls. They were just chewy bits and came in your drink.
If you want something cool to drink on a hot day, it’s definitely a different cultural experience.
