THE HI-LO
Hiccups, a Vietnamese eatery with a wide array of boba drinks, will hold a grand opening Saturday with free drinks and a chance to win a PlayStation 5 at their new location near Cal State Long Beach.
Tucked between Ike’s Sandwiches and East Coast Bagel, the new spot in the Bixby Village Plaza serves up pho, pad thai and dozens of unique drink choices.
Starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, the first 50 people in line get a free coffee or milk tea. Everyone after that will receive a free coffee or milk tea with a purchase over $10 and all attendees can enter for a chance to win a PlayStation 5.
Hiccups first opened locally at the Traffic Circle a decade ago. A few years later, they moved to East Willow Street just south of Long Beach Airport.
It got its name because, “When you eat a lot of food and drink a lot of boba tea, you get the hiccups,” Store manager Andy Hoang said.
