A new Lollicup Coffee and Tea shop will be soft opening on Thursday in the Diamond Jamboree Asian-mega-food-super-center in Irvine.

If you’re not familiar with the center, it’s a 114,000 square foot shopping center at the corner of Alton Parkway and Jamboree Road that’s nearing capacity.

According to John Chan, owner of the shop, they won’t be holding a true grand opening until January but beginning Thursday around noon you should be able to get your boba, tea, coffee, slushies and smoothies there.

As an added bonus, Chan say they asked the Kogi Korean BBQ truck to come and it should be there Thursday night around 10:30 p.m.

To ring in the holidays, all 189 locations of Peet’s Coffee will be serving free java and tea on Dec. 24.

What’s the catch? There doesn’t seem to be one, other than the fact that the cafe chain is seeking donations for various nonprofit organizations to fill a growing shortfall. Employees of each retail location choose a charity of choice, and the company will match up to $1,000 of customer contributions.

Interested? In Irvine, Peet’s has a retail location near UC Irvine and one at Orchard Hills. Nearby, in Tustin, there’s a storefront at Newport Avenue and Irvine Boulevard.

The chain is also enticing customers with free shipping on all Web orders through Jan. 7, 2009. All you have to do is sign up for the company’s e-mail newsletter.
