Luckin Coffee collabs with Quby to release exclusive merch

Luckin Coffee Collabs With Quby To Launch Black Sesame Hojicha Latte, Blind Boxes And More

When it comes to unexpected collabs, almost no brand comes close to Luckin Coffee.

They’re always rolling out new partnerships, including recent ones with Duolingo and Toy Story. This September, they’re teaming up with Quby, the adorable rosy-cheeked cartoon character, to release new drinks and merch under the theme Your Daily Luckin Moments.

The collab launches in phases from 1 September 2026, bringing Quby’s exaggerated reactions to two new drinks, a set of collectable figurines, and even a sticker pack for your group chats. Kicking things off is the Creme Coconut Pudding Latte (price TBD), which combines freshly ground 100% Arabica espresso with creamy milk and soft coconut jelly.

Inspired by egg pudding desserts, the drink can be topped with cream and finished with a caramel drizzle if you’re after something extra sweet with a coconutty flavour. From 17 September, the Black Sesame Hojicha Latte (price TBD) will join the lineup, pairing black sesame with roasted hojicha and milk for a toasty drink.

Quby fans also have merch to look forward to. Bring Quby home with the Luckin Moments Blind Box (Figurine Series), available from 1 to 24 September, while stocks last. The collection features five figurine designs, each capturing a different everyday mood: Monday Blues, TGIF, No Thoughts, Head Empty, Sian, and Luck In Hand.

The collaboration extends beyond drinks and figurines too, with limited-edition paper bags and cup sleeves featuring Quby-themed designs available in-store. If you’re after the full experience, there are two bundle options to choose from: the Luckin Moments Double-Cup Bundle Set ($16.80), featuring two selected drinks from the collab and one blind box, and the Luckin Moments Single-Cup Bundle Set ($14.80), with one selected drink from the collab and one blind box.

Rounding out the collaboration is a set of animated Quby stickers for WhatsApp, Telegram, and WeChat, letting fans bring Quby’s expressions straight into their everyday chats. For more quirky brand crossovers, read up on the Starbucks x Mofusand collab.
