    Dong ding oolong with taro balls
    James Z.

    Chicha San Chen is our favorite boba shop in DFW. It's a more artisenal chain from Taiwan that focuses on tea quality and they brew each cup to order with their custom machines that pull shots like an espresso machine. Very cool experience and the interior is very open with warm and bright tones. They also offer a tea tasting experience that I have yet to do but do want to try. Everything I've had is really good. The taro drinks are awesome and they have fresh taro balls that are very soft. The tea flavors really shine in everything they make. It was super busy when they first open but not bad at all now. Very happy that Dallas has a Chicha San Chen!

    Busy spot on weekends so expect a line, but it moves pretty efficiently. You order either on an iPad or with a staff member, then they give you a number and calls it for you to grab. That's both indoor and outdoor seatings. Got the passion fruit green tea with konjac at 30% sweetness. The tea flavor in these drinks always shine through. Quality is good!

    I come here quite often. The teas are always delicious and fresh. The flavor is very good and not overpowering or ostentatious like some of the nearby shops. The beauty of the interior is also unmatched and offers a more natural look than other shops as well. I always try to get a different flavor each time and. bring friends to try it out as well.

    Peach drink with vanilla cold foam was very tasty, comes with a very cute presentation. Not a long wait, good atmosphere and lots of people coming and going!

    This place is a HUGE hype in Taiwan. It apparently won the Michelin Star equivalent for drinks. Personally, I don't think it's a bad place to if you want some boba or tea drinks that aren't as sugary. They definitely have a great tea selection and on weekends, they offer some tea tastings. Not only that but they have rotating monthly specials. Watch out though, the weekend nights and Sunday mornings after 12pm is utter madness since everyone is out and about at this time. Just be sure to keep your receipt because that's how you monitor the status of your drink. It'll populate on a big tv above and the entrance.

    Giving it a 5 star because the person who took our order was super helpful and kind. The tea here the flavor is just so good.

    This review will be biased, since i'm Taiwanese, but the drinks here are pretty good. We ended up getting a pineapple milk tea and a taro milk tea. This place uses less sugar where they start at 75% and you can adjust downwards. The string that comes with each drink, is very aesthetically pleasing to look at. When we went, it was very crowded inside, like all the seats and tables were taken. Which is surprising, since the inside is very spacious for a tea shop. We actually ordered via the kiosk and it took about 5-7 minutes to get our drink. They have a crazy looking machine which brews and extracts the tea. It looks like a high end expresso machine...lol They also have outdoor seating. This place is located in a new shopping plaza, a few streets away from the 99 ranch plaza.

    The teas tasted amazing. And the inside of the shop is really stunning and can be a great spot to catch up with friends or get some work done. The front register team member did a decent job of suggesting teas but was a little impersonal. Maybe I'm just getting old. Overall, I was great for her patience with me even if I felt a little rushed. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of what they have on the menu and further seasonal teas.

    We got the Green Tea with Cream and Dong Ding Oolong Tea Latte - both were delicious! The Green Tea with Cream has a stronger tea taste while the Dong Ding Oolong Tea Latte is creamier and richer. We got boba with both drinks and the boba was soft, chewy, and still warm when we got our drinks! Overall, I loved visiting this location in Carollton! It's located in a plaza with plenty of parking. Plenty of seating available inside with lots of people sitting and chatting. Aesthetic interior with lovely vibes. Staff was fast and efficient.

    I can understand why this location was so popular when it opened. The first time I went here I was so impressed when the taste of the tea. & I am a HUGE tea fanatic. The presentation of the drink is just adorable. My drink was full of flavor and really made me wanting to come back for more. I also enjoy this location in Carrollton, and there is also a couple cute things you can do in the area (such as go to a claw arcade or make rugs next door). Overall, if you enjoy tea and want to try something new and delicious, you should give Chicha San Chen a shot, you won't be disappointed.

    Chicha San Chen is hands down one of the best boba spots I've ever been to! You can taste the difference in quality -- the tea is brewed fresh to order, and every drink has that rich, aromatic flavor that sets it apart from typical bubble tea places. I got the Dong Ding Oolong Milk Tea with 50% sugar and it was perfection -- smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced. The boba was soft with just the right chew. You can tell they care about the details here. The space is super clean and modern, and the staff were friendly and helpful when explaining the menu. It's a little pricier than your average boba, but totally worth it for the freshness and quality. If you're a tea lover, this place is a must-try. Go for the oolong-based drinks -- they're unmatched!

    My first time visit and everything was good! Once you stepped in, you can order on the screen or with the cashier. It was quite hard to find a drink to customize because a lot of things are just set and can't add toppings. Lots of seating options inside. I love the decoration. Only takes about 5 mins for my drink to be ready. The tea has great flavor so they definitely used good quality tea. The boba is one of the best flavor and texture I've ever had. My favorite boba place in Dallas!

    The service was really great because the workers are very knowledgeable of the tea. The tea was delicious! I love the tarro milk tea with green tea and the mango tart drink.

    So excited for this Carrollton location! TP Tea is now my…read morenew go-to place for bubble tea. I've been to a couple locations around DFW and I think this location is my favorite! All the locations are relatively smaller in space but the seating here is the best. The chairs are comfortable & perfect for co-working or studying. Drinks & egg pancakes are reliably consistent. My favorite items are the: B2. Boba Milk Tea - classic Taiwan bubble tea & J5. Chocolate Combo Egg Pancake - comes with 2 chocolate filled / 2 chocolate & custard filled / 1 original no filling

    TP Tea is really yummy and known for being more authentic amongst boba chains! I got to try a few:…read more - Mango Pomelo Sago: oh my goodness, it was so good. I will definitely be ordering this as my go-to. It was creamy, sweet, and just a tad sour. I went with 80% sugar per my friend's recommendation and that was definitely enough sugar. - Strawberry Matcha Latte: the first few sips were amazing, but then I started noticing a heavy powdery taste. Unfortunately it didn't get better and I had to ask a worker if I could switch out my drink, which they did for me for free. - Passionfruit (2 topping) Tea: the taste was good and I loved the stringy boba topping but the tea had a dry aftertaste which I didn't enjoy. Overall the prices are definitely up there ($7.50 for a drink) but it can be worth it. It's across the street from the Carrollton plaza and has some parking in the front. There are some small tables inside but it's usually pretty busy. Orders don't take too long to come out.

    My Boyfriend and I had such an amazing experience at Happy Lemon! Not only was the staff so…read morefriendly, but the overall vibe of the place was so fun! So, let me paint a picture for you! It was date night, and we planned to go to the craft boutique across the parking lot. What we failed to realize is that our craft that we decided to do was going to take more than 4 HOURS LONG! lol! I know! And come of course we brought no snacks or drinks to accomodate us while being in one spot for that long! Thus, how we ended up at Happy Lemon! We noticed the drink spot as soon as we entered the parking lot. The logo itself is very captivating! We soon walked over and ordered two drinks, one for each of us! It wasn't packed at all, and we were greeted upon arrival! I ended up ordering a green tea with passionfruit and my boyfriend ended up ordering a smoothie with oreos in it! OMG his smoothie was so freaking good! It was a mixture of fruits and chocolately goodness! My green tea was also very refreshing! Overall, our experience was so amazing and I can def see us returning when we are in the area! Def recommend for a visit!

    Oreo bubble waffle was good. Crispy on outside but soft and doughy on inside. In fact the inside…read morewas a littlllle too doughy for me. But very few places sell bubble waffles in DFW. At another place which sells good waffle, one time we waited 25 min for it. At least, here at Happy Lemon it only took 5 min to make. Ordered milk tea with cheese foam.. the boba was ok .. but .. the drink not that good. First, the teen cashier didn't ask me what sugar level I wanted, what ice level I wanted and I forgot I could ask. So when it came, 100% sugar too sweet for me and reg ice. And the drink .. it was way too watered down (the tea was very weak). Couldn't detect any tea taste. Too many competitors in this complex. There's Cicha Sanchen across the complex. Truong Nguyen coffee. Even Hey Yogurt just opened.... So yeah it's tough doing biz here. Escape 360 gonna open and they sell drinks too. Happy lemon may want to re decorate and make it cozier inside.
