Discove
r official merch from China’s most iconic games, anime, and characters.
Luckin Coffee’s highly anticipated “Time Cafe” crossover with the hit animated series Link Click officially launched on September 14, 2026, exclusively at Luckin Coffee stores in China. Bringing exclusive drinks, stunning merchandise, and a bit of unexpected drama to fans, this collaboration has quickly become the talk of the community. Here is everything you need to know about the event.
The Signature Menu and Themed Packaging
The collaboration introduces the rich and highly-praised Salty Cheese Soy Milk series. Fans can choose between the Salty Cheese Soy Milk Latte, Yuanyang Latte (a coffee-tea blend), and the Tea variation. To complete the immersive experience, the drinks come in gorgeous themed packaging, including custom hot and cold cups, cup sleeves, and specially designed paper bags for both single and double orders.
Typo Controversies and Stock Frustrations
Despite the massive hype, the launch hasn’t been completely smooth sailing.
- Misprinted Merch: Eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed that the character Vein’s name was misspelled as “vien” on several laser tickets and badges. Luckin’s customer service has acknowledged the complaints and is currently investigating.
- Inventory Glitches: Many users reported that “Set B” merchandise showed as completely sold out on the Luckin mini-program, preventing them from ordering it online. However, physical stores actually had them in stock but refused to manually swap them for app orders, leading to widespread frustration among buyers.
A Sneak Peek at Wave 2
If you missed out on the initial rush or are waiting for the typo fix, there is good news: Wave 2 is already on the horizon. Early teasers suggest the next phase will introduce brand-new pocket watch charms featuring the characters Liu Xiao, Vein, and Xia Fei.
Are you planning to hunt down the merchandise from Wave 2, or just sticking to the coffee for now?
