Came here during the grand opening with the BOGO promotion. This location is pretty spacious with tables and seating. There's a decent amount of parking with additional parking underground. They were giving out sample drinks and sample waffles. While you wait for your order to come out, they have screen that tells you the status of your order. We got the strawberry shortcake smoothie, mango matcha smoothie, and dragonfruit yakult smoothie. They were all good, but I think my favorite was the dragonfruit yakult smoothie. read more

Came here for the soft opening! We ordered the E11 mango green tea with mango boba and is very refeshing. Highly recommend. We also got D6 Ube Milk Tea with Puff which is a ube paste, taro puff, and boba! The boba is super chewy and the drinks are not too sweet. The Okinawa roasted milk tea is tastes pretty good too! We ordered the original waffle with a taro puff dip. The waffle was shiny, hot and puffy. The taro puff dip is light and sweet and is a good complement to the egg waffle. HappyLemon never disappoints. Ambiance, they have a couple of tables and some bench seating read more

Always a good choice for bubble tea. Yummy flavors. Good and fast service. Not a lot of seating but adequate for what they serve. Would recommend!! read more

I will keep coming back for the egg waffles. I have tried numerous egg waffles in the 626 area and I think their egg waffle + puff cream are the ultimate combo read more

Pretty solid roasted oolong milk tea. There was indeed a roasted oolong flavor. The boba was also nice and chewy read more

we always order the original waffle here it tastes really good. The service is quick and the cashiers are polite. This place is never crowded when I go. The waffle takes about 5-10 minutes to cook so I usually don't have to wait that long. read more

Came in and waited 10 mins for a drink bc there was a huge order placed ahead of me. Service was pretty good. Ordered a passion mango green tea and waited a bit while my bf went to pick up our order from Ipoh. They gave me aloe instead of the crystal boba that I ordered. Didn't go back and get it corrected bc I left at that time and they were swamped getting other people's orders out. Bummer. read more

Visit this boba place while waiting in line to dine in Ipoh Kopitiam. I love their greentea with salted cheese. It's the combination between sweetness and salty. I also like their matcha bubble waffles. It's warm and fresh. The service is fast and the staff is nice. The place is clean and the decoration inside the store is too cute. Good boba place!! read more

Ever since the owners stopped making the drinks... they've been terrible. They need to train their staff better at making the drinks. Their service is fine. The drinks are watered down, staff forgets to add certain things, and take a little too long to make it. read more

I love Happy Lemon and this location is no exception! It's clean and I love the seating availability. Staff was nice and my drinks came out fast! I'm a die hard fan of their cheese foam. Seriously, get it if it's your first time. Their strongest combo I think is any citrus drink + cheese foam. I also really enjoy how their fruits drinks are actually real fruit so you get that strong tartness. Not much to say but give it a try, you will love it! read more

My go to drink is their black tea with cheese foam! Their cheese form is super good. Will come back

Boba waffle is yum! My daughter ordered it and while she enjoyed it, she wished it was crispier. Okinawa roast milk tea was fine. At 100% sugar I thought it was a little too sweet for me so I'll drop it down to 75% next time. Didn't try the strawberry shortcake but my younger daughter liked it. There's parking in the underground garage. We went after dinner and parking wasn't hard to find but this might be different in the day time when the other medical offices are open and the restaurant next door is busy read more

The honey comb waffle was good. It tasted like mochi. I highly recommend the waffles. The drinks were ok, nothing special. Kind of pricy and they were not generous with the boba. read more

Rejoice we now have a Happy Lemon in Alhambra. I'll preface this by saying I rarely get tea since I'm a coffee fanatic, but I really enjoyed my drink, Black tea w/ salted cheese. That's probably because I'm a fan of the salty and sweet combo when they are balanced well. At first sip all I tasted was the (75%) sweetened black tea, but then I mixed the drink which brought the nice salt balance and a touch of creaminess. I could see myself drinking this again when I'm not having a coffee of course. The Original (bubble) Waffle was nice, warm and fresh. Little chew, little crisp and slight sweet. I enjoyed it with my drink very much. I only tried these two items from all the items in my pic so I'm only leaving remarks about them. They are located in what used to be Cafe D.er if you know the area, adjacent to Ipoh Kopitiam. There's a parking lot right in the back with even more (subterranean) parking so finding a spot is not a problem. The staff was very friendly and greeted right upon entering which is always nice. It's nice & bright inside which works with their whole "happy lemon" vibe. In a sea of so many drink shops, be sure you work Happy Lemon into your mix. Cheers! read more

I was excited to try out Happy Lemon here after trying it once in Washington. the matcha bubble waffle had the perfect texture and the matcha flavor could be a little stronger since it was only a hint of it. My boyfriend and I found the drinks to be really refreshing and satisfying! read more

update: thanks for the response, i guess we will just have to disagree with the milk tea flavor taste. in regards to the gloves, I did not have a problem with the gloves itself. It was the fact that both gloves were visibly dripping wet and so were the outside of my drinks when he handed them to me that I did not feel like was sanitary. was in the neighborhood looking for boba and saw the 4.5 stars here. ordered two classic milk teas with boba, 100% ice, 50% sweet. the milk tea had no tea flavor, just very strong milk taste. i picked up within 10 mins of ordering and there was no ice left in the drink. the boba tasted completely soft, not chewy at all. the drinks went in the trash, flavor would not have remotely justified the calories that would have been consumed. also the gentleman that handed the drinks to me was wearing black latex gloves that were dripping wet. overall terrible experience. read more

We were able to discover this gem on Friday. We were on a drive and stumbled past this place. The menu looked good on yelp. Not only do the pics look appetizing but the drinks task so good! We got the strawberry matcha, Viet coffee, and the M&M waffle. I was pleasantly surprised with the match taste, the sweet filled waffle and hubby loved his coffee. Thumbs up all around. Shout out to the girls, they were nice and the ambiance was chill. It was bumping when we left. read more

First time trying happy lemon and I became a happy guy after. The service is great here. If you're indecisive they will help you on the spot to see what you're feeling and you'll go from there. I got the mango green tea with mango boba. Sorry I don't have a picture but it was delicious! It's not too sweet but perfect. And then the mango boba just makes it even better! I also got the original waffle and it was fresh and fluffy and huge! It was pretty cool. The place is kinda small inside but there are a couple of seats inside so you can catch up with friends or vibe with the music or you can hang outside also. Definitely will be back to try other drinks. read more

First time trying Happy Lemon and i opted for the Milk tea with puff cream. I'm happy the Cashier girl told me 50% sweetness because it was very sweet. I wish the drink didn't have so much cream and had more of a tea flavor. I mostly tasted cream instead of the milk tea. Parking is questionable because we parked in the parking lot behind it but it seems like thats only for the hospital. Luckily i went fairly late and there was lots of parking leaving me not to worry about taking up a spot for someone else. FYI the parking spots back there are very tight... Overall my friends tea tasted good and i'll definitely try a non puff cream drink the next time i go. The restaurant is very bright and decorated nicely. read more

Happy Lemon - Milk tea with puff cream. Look at how much puff cream they use 0.0 reduce it by like 50-75% please. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Alhambra, California

Introduction: * We initially wanted to check out this place for the corgi vibes, but the boba shop transformed into happy lemon * A place to settle down to work Positives: * Had the Matcha Mango Slushie. It was so good. Not too sweet. Not too rich. Just right. * Also ordered the Bubble Waffles. It came with a cheese dip. It was airy, crunchy and delicious. Tasted better than a pancake. * Barista was super nice, friendly, attentive, and many more adjectives. She was altogether awesome. * Told us about what was wrong with the Bubble Waffles and made a new one for us. Didn't notice the difference. Both were equally tasty. I feel bad and wanted to give her a tip or dinner on me. Conclusion: * Highly recommend anyone who enjoy slushies or a smack of lemon flavors * Cozy, family-friendly place with delicious drinks & waffles and great service * Will definitely come back again read more

Went for the grand opening and it was as good as always! The black tea with salted cheese foam will always be my go-to. The workers were all very nice and the line moved at a pretty good pace for their grand opening. I also liked being able to see the progress of your order on a screen and how long you've been waiting. So happy there's a location in Alhambra now! read more

I came here for the grand opening buy one get one promo. I liked that they gave me waffle samples while I waited in line. I got the mango matcha and strawberry shortcake drinks. I like the mango pieces in the matcha smoothie. I like this location more because they have lots of tables and chairs inside the store. This is a great place to meet up with friends. There is also free wifi! There is an underground parking garage with plenty of spots. I took the elevator to come up to the Happy Lemon level. read more

First time here really not what expected. I try milk tea cookies n cream I believe it's good my husband like it , I really didn't but it's because I don't like milk tea. Quick service no wait and plenty of parking . Small place to order and go. read more

Needed a place to hang for an hour or two. The bubble waffle smelled so good but I resisted because it would have ruined my dinner. Next time. Passed my coffee/milk tea quota this week already so when the staff recommended the honey lemon tea, I said sure! It was very good but I could only drink about half, the lemon taste was too strong on my taste buds for some reason. I added half a glass of water to it and drank it the next day... it was good. It was around 3pm so no issues with parking. The shop was very clean, good ambience with natural light but not a huge place - doesnt need to be, it's probably more of a grab and go place. Staff was friendly, will return. read more

It was good. Some themed drinks when we went, and they were tasty. The workers were friendly and the drinks and food came out quickly. read more

I visited Happy Lemon for the first time and ordered the squeezed lemon jasmine green tea with cheese foam. So refreshing! I'm usually a "sipper" but this drink made me a "gulper." The space is really small with 3 small tables. Thankfully, we were able to get one and enjoy our drinks and convo at this cute space! read more

I came down to visit this new location from the Bay Area. Probably the best managed, maintained, and consistent happy lemon location. Let me tell you that the Mango Matcha with Puff Cream is to die for. It has such a consistent flavor, not too sweet- but just exactly perfect. Not to mention the aesthetics of the drink itself! There is space inside to chill and catch up with friends, which i love because now instead of bringing home boba, I can come here, chit chat, enjoy the music, ambiance, and kind employees. Thank you Zack for making my visit and trip here feel special! Also the bubble waffle took me back to Asia. Forgot to take a photo since I devoured it. Make sure to stop by and try their drinks! 100/10 recommend. read more

So happy to see more Happy Lemon locations popping up! This Alhambra location is a little small with limited parking in the back. I came for the grand opening BOGO deal on 12/16-17. The baristas were very kind even with the line of people out the door. GREEN TEA W/ SALTED CHEESE -best drink here hands down -boba was good too! HONEY LEMON GREEN TEA -pretty sour, little bitter at the end -goes well with a sweeter topping read more

Can't go wrong with Happy Lemon!! I hope this place survives (after Coco and Cafe D.Er shut down). There's parking underground, but gets crowded due to the neighboring Ipoh during lunch and dinner time. Always consistent drinks here. My favorite is lemon green tea with cheese foam! read more

Bog-standard for a Happy Lemon, perhaps with a bit of a larger space than most Happy Lemons, with space for more seating but not actually all that much seating. Drinks are good and tasty, service is quick, and yes there's touch-screen ordering which is pretty de-rigeur. And this plaza has underground parking which is doubly awesome, especially on a hot day. read more

Waffle and drinks are the best!! Crispy waffle pair with salted cheese is delicious! Freshly squeezed lemon honey green tea is my go to drink! Very refreshing! Very friendly and fast service! Very cute decor set up. Have seating area too! read more

The hong kong waffle is a must!! Best I ever had honestly, crispy, chewy, and such a joy to eat. As for the drinks, i got the green tea w. Sea salt and its 10/10. We also got the fresh blended lemon black tea and it was very refreshing. It didnt have that weird bitter, citrus taste that some lemon drinks have. Interior decor is great, and clean. Will be back often for my boba cravinga. read more

Great boba place, I got the mango matcha which was too sweet for my taste and the fruit tea. It was good but not great, I would prefer other boba places instead for the same price. read more

Since the kids had today off, I made the afternoon decided to take them to Happy Lemon. There aren't many tables in this little space. I placed an order for the Oreo waffle, Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie, Jasmine Green Tea, and Fresh Passionfruit Mango Green Tea. Happy Lemon Reward Points weren't mentioned by the cashier, so as I was looking around the store after I paid, I realized I had the app. I ask the cashier whether I may get the points using my app. She says you cannot receive the points after you have paid. Rather than refunding the transaction and billing me again, as I had assumed, she simply apologized that it was too late for me to receive the points and walk away. I'm really dissatisfied with this place because I paid $25.42 and lost all of the points. The drinks here are merely ok. For my kids and I, the Oreo waffle is the only thing we enjoy. I doubt I'll return to Happy Lemon because of the poor service I had here. read more

I got the freshly squeezed lemon black tea and appreciated how the owner advised me on which sugar level typically tastes best. I almost ordered something too bitter the drink came out pretty quick too read more

Ordered from their Top 10 menu and waited 10 mins. The Honey Lemonade Citrus Tea iced, half sweet, low ice. And the Ube with soft puffs and boba. Honestly the drinks were so expensive at almost $7 each, the size was large which was good but they did not taste great. The ordering process took a while because she could not hear me and I couldn't hear her so everything had to be repeated twice. I recommend they turn their music down. Such a cute concept though but just not for me. I don't understand why they recommend to every guest to go 50% sugar, just make that the standard then. read more

can we talk about how GOOD and SHINY their bubble waffle are?! Literally the best bubble waffles IN THE GAME. Store is always clean, drinks are always CONSISTENT. I am obsessed with their Strawberry Shortcake - no one has a drink like this! It's SOOO creamy and delicious. Definitely check this place out if you are in the area -- my all time fav boba shop. read more

I love their drinks! Highly recommend the mango matcha with puff cream. So good! The wait was not too bad, but parking was limited. Felt bad for the new person working, but they got our order right! Yay read more

Trying HL location in Alhambra just grand opened couple weeks ago. It's a small HL shop, but it makes you feel cozy and welcome. The Vietnamese owner who also knows how to speak Vietnamese and maybe also Chinese is very helpful, he is there ready to take your order and answers your questions to help you based on your reference. The drink is absolutely tasty. You can taste the real fruit flavor. It is located in a small plaza and easy to find, the parking is may be a little bit difficult to find when the plaza gets busy. read more
