What do you get with kumquats, puff cream, and calligraphy? I came to Happy Lemon for a calligraphy class and finally got to try their items all at once. This place is your bright and shiny boba tea shop. I got the kumquat lemon green tea with leches jelly (I added strawberries to mine). If you love citrus, this is the drink for you for sure! If was tart bug not too bad on the pallette. I also got the original bubble waffle with puff cream. I loved how my waffle was sitting while I practice calligraphy and never lost it's taste or texture. The puff cream was so tasty And you get a good quantity. The puff cream had the taste of whipped cream, vanilla, and a little bit of lemon. I would get the puff cream again and again hands down. The service was good and didn't take too long. I like the airy and open atmosphere inside. Also the bathroom was clean!. read more

Happy Lemon - Happy Lemon's notification to me at 12:05am for my order that was placed and received before 9pm. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I have heard of this place for a long time and didnt try them until 2025. My favorites here are the roasted Okinawa milk tea with boba - they have brown sugar boba with a roasted tea flavor - super yummy. Their original waffle with the salted cheese dip is to die for! Eat them right when they come out warm and crispy. I have tried their best seller Oreo milk tea but it was underwhelming - just get the Okinawa one, 50% sugar is plenty sweet. The space is bright and clean, theres always parking as its part of a mall. The staffs here are pleasant too. read more

You know your addiction to Happy Lemon is bad when you officially have the app downloaded to your phone and you live 17 miles away... I unpurposely make it my mission to stop by and order two drinks every ten days. I was introduced to salted cheese from Happy Lemon in 2018 and haven't stopped loving it. Being the first in the world to create the salted cheese topper, Happy Lemon proudly boasts "often imitated, never duplicated", which stands true. I always order either the Jasmine Green Tea with Salted Cheese or the Classic Black Tea with Salted Cheese. Trust me, you won't regret it. There's something magical about this drink. Starting with the base of the tea itself, Happy Lemon brews delicious, quality tea you can actually taste. Next, they'll mix in the perfect cream ratio to the tea to craft the perfect milk tea. Finally, the salted cheese topper is added to the top with a dash of matcha. read more

Nice staff and fast to order and easy parking lot to se and get into . Nice decorations Wi-Fi available very lit up room tables and chairs are comfortable with a cushion on them. Floors are a few dancing in it but kid friendly area and they have games for the kids. Rewards are available and Uber eats are available. I like that you can adjust your ice level and your sugar level and they have different labels. You can read for a different allergy.. I would feel that they need to do more dairy free drinks available. read more

Never disappoints! They use real lemons in the drinks, so good! It was quick service, a little slow but accepted. I got lemon green tea with boba, loved it! They also make egg waffles, it smelled really good but I was so full from dinner. Plenty of options to choose from, you'll definitely find a drink that you'll enjoy! Spacious with great lighting to chill. Good place for studying. read more

I have finally uploaded an updated version of the Happy Lemon menu if anyone is curious of the prices here. This is a great boba shop, and the prices are good, considering how pricey boba is becoming. My milk tea with salted cheese topping came out to be $6.50, which is relatively cheap compared to other places, I believe. If you're like me, who likes a bit of sweetness but not too much, 50% sugar level is good. My friends told me 25% is pretty bland. Also, the salted cheese topping is a great topping bc it adds a bit of saltiness to the sweetness. Also, there's only one size for all drinks, but I think the price matches the quantity. This shop looks like a great study spot. It wasn't busy when I went, but it was a Wednesday afternoon. It's clean and smells nice too, and there are some board games in the corner. Also, the parking spots are pretty narrow, be careful with parking. read more

I had such high hopes for the famous Happy Lemon, but I was sorely disappointed because the drink I got tasted so unpleasant. I wanted to try a lemon drink since it is their specialty. My friend first ordered the freshly squeezed lemon black tea. I thought it was okay; it tasted like a muted lemon ice tea. Because it wasn't that great, I decided to order a blended whole lemon drink: the fresh lemon green tea. I asked the barista the difference between the squeezed lemon and blended whole lemon drinks, and she said the blended whole lemon had more of a lemon flavour, while the squeezed lemon had more of a tea flavour. I thought the lemon had tasted pretty muted in the squeezed lemon drink, so I decided I wanted a stronger lemon flavour. The whole lemon drink turned out to be so sour and overall very unpleasant. I made a face every time I drank it, and I made myself drink all of it especially because it was almost $7 (with no tapioca). My friend had the same thoughts on it. It somehow tasted worse than most lemon drinks I have tried. We came here to study, and the atmosphere was okay for it. They have large tables, wifi, and some outlets on one wall. It was loud at times but quiet at other times on a Saturday afternoon, so that was really better than I had hoped. read more

We had ordered the house Thai tea with 50 % sugar. The tea tasted super bland and with zero sugar in it. I had to go home and put more sugar in it for it to be bearable. We ordered 3 drinks and none of us liked our drinks. The Pearl boba was over cooked, mushy, and flavorless. Do I recommend this place? Unfortunately no. read more

5 stars for the bubble waffle with taro puff cream, my go to order. A great pick me up treat. Their boba and milk tea is a solid 4 stars. It's never done me wrong. It's well done and consistently good compared to many other bubble tea franchises. I've tried the tiramisu salted cream dip for the waffles and it was a bit runny and the taste wasn't to my liking, and they happily replaced it with a puff cream of my choosing. Parking is great at this complex and the interior has plenty of space to sit with games available. read more

This is a pretty solid boba spot. The shop is pretty tidy and well kept. There are several tables for seating. Parking can be tough depending on when you go but the parking lot is massive so you're nearly guaranteed to find something. The boba is consistently good. I've tried the strawberry shortcake, dragonfruit lemon slushy, and kumquat lemon slushy. The kumquat lemon slushy was way too sour and tart. The dragonfruit slushy is more sour than preferred but it is a lot more bearable. The strawberry shortcake is by far one of the best drinks I've tried at Happy Lemon. read more

Depending chain with great drinks. Restroom was clean and plenty of seats. On-line order was ready by the time we arrived.

A friend and I visited this place and loved the experience! As soon as we walked in, my friend and I am couldn't help but admire the cute decor/aesthetic of the place and how sweet it smelled inside. The staff there was very friendly and patient as we asked her questions. She recommended we try the Okinawa milk tea with less sweetness % and both of us ended up ordering it. I was actually surprised at how good and refreshing the Okinawa Milk Tea was! We also saw they had games and played Connect 4 and UNO as we caught up on life and drank our boba. Truly a memorable experience! read more

I love Happy Lemon so much. It's my absolute favorite bubble tea place. I was very, very excited when this second Austin location opened last year and waited 3 hours to be first in line when they opened. Happy Lemon is the best bubble tea you can get. Best quality. Best taste. Best waffle. Best tapioca. This particular location has the friendliest people! The store is always clean, bright, and inviting. They have a fun photo wall in the back. They have a TV with order progress where you can track your order as it's in the queue and being made, which is fun. Parking spaces in this plaza are on the narrower side but there are usually some empty spots. read more

This place is sooo cute adorable place !! My kids got the OG Bubble Waffle and the Puff Cream. I got the Oreo one & ate it with their Puff Cream. DELICIOUS !! But I LOOOVE sweet things. LOVED the waffles buuuut the drinks were not that good. Sorry ! If it was drinks alone, I would have given the place 2 stars. Maybe it was what we picked. But I ordered the Ube Smoothie and it was meh. My daughter ordered a Oreo Lemonade, that was disgusting! We ended up throwing it away and she took my Ube Smoothie. The overall concept is adorable ! The waffles come with a cute container that if you flip it over it's a lemon happy face. They had games that we played at our table. Service was... interesting? We kept asking questions like does any of the creams go good with the Oreo waffle & he would say I don't know. We kept asking questions & the reply was I don't know. Like, have you even tried the stuff?? We would go again for the waffles. read more

First off, this place has options. So many different drink choices, and you can alter the ice and sugar content to degree unlike any other drinkery in Austin. Plus you can add different types of cheeses to your teas. Yes, you read that correctly; cheese in your tea. Will definitely try it next time. Today, I ordered the Passionfruit Mango green tea with 25% ice and 50% sugar. It is incredible! Tastes very fresh and I love the passionfruit seeds included. Not too sweet also. They also have what are called bubble waffles. Which can be flavored. I got the original with the tiramisu dipping sauce. The waffle is fluffy and light, with a good bit of crunch to it. And the dipping sauce is so rich and creamy. This would be a great unique date spot. read more

Delicious drinks. Had an issue with wrong drink and they properly corrected it. Great customer service!

THE BIG: My favorite bubble waffle place has a place closer to me now! Located in Central Austin near Highland and inside the Linc shopping center right next to FedEx. Plenty of parking and spacious inside. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here on opening day and they were doing bogo teas! Got myself a unsweetened ube smoothie with ube cream and lychee jelly yumm. Got the wife a unsweetened green milk tea with aloe. Both were great. Unfortunately only the original bubble waffle was available but they're ramping up soon to have other flavors out. I can't wait! my fav is the oreo. THE FINAL BAMBOO: The damage done for this round was ~$8 for two bubble teas. Great opening offer with bogo teas and I'll definitely be back for the bubble waffles. read more

Spread the word! Happy Lemon is now in Austin - this drink hub where you can find all of the frappe, fruit tea, freshly squeezed lemon WITHOUT added sweetener (you can adjust your sugar level or have honey instead) and more is finally here. We had this in the Philippines and surprised to see the franchise hub in Austin. The service was really good - approachable, friendly, direct to the point and when we said no sugar it's just pure lemon and black tea , it is what you get! The place was spacious, all indoor seating and if you need a place to hangout, study, or work at - I think place is pretty neat and quiet. read more

Went on the second day of their grand opening and got BOGO. I like the boba a lot! It's not to squishy, not too hard and the amount is just right too. Just make sure not to wait too long to drink or the boba will become hard and not as enjoyable. The cashier lady was nice. I didn't write my name or number on the raffle ticket, so she gave me another one. I got Ube-this was very rich and milky. Definitely get this only if you're feeling hungry, but the taste is great and I love the color. Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea-great tea flavor and keeps you awake. I would want to get the Okinawa again! read more

Hmm. Standard cute little bubble tea shop inside. Not too cutesy or bare inside. Thankfully this is closer to me than other spots I've been to. I hesitantly ordered a "Roasted tea with salted cheese." I had no idea what that was and didn't ask for an explanation. The cashier noticed, but didn't seem to judge me. I just took the risk. It PAID off! It was delicious. I've been thinking about it since. I am absolutely going back. You can pick your ice and sweetness levels which is just so good at a boba place. A lot of things are too sweet even cloying and off putting for me. I got my drink at 75% for both. My friend ordered the bubble waffle. I took a few bites and have to say it's pretty good. I'd get one again if I was hungry. The dipping sauce? Icing? Whatever it came with was extra sweet. She said she loved her Thai Tea and would come back with me. Check this place out! read more

We ordered the original waffle with the salted cheese, but I've also tried the matcha waffle. The waffles are super light and have a crispy outer shell with a fluffy inside. I usually split one, but it would be very easy to eat the whole thing. The salted cheese is like a slightly sweetened cream sauce with a hint of salt. I also got passionfruit green tea with lychee bubble. this was sooo good and refreshing. I'm very glad I ordered half sweetness because it was very sweet as is. I will likely get the quarter sweetened next time if that's an option. I noticed there are a lot of people who bring their computers here to work. There are lots of big tables and the wifi is solid. My only complaint is the place is always super cold so be sure to bring a sweater! read more

Download their app and get free boba if you go here regularly. Remember to scan your code before paying each time because you can't reclaim the points if you don't. Get their boba waffle, and you'll love it! There is actual boba in each bubble. It's so delicious and dip it with salted cheese to make it even better. They do have a variety of different dipping flavors too. For their drinks, I like other boba places drinks better. However, their lemon yakult with aloe and wintermelon Milk tea are still good. Honestly I like this location because there are tables and counter next to the outlet so it's great for friends to hang out or study. Their services are good too. read more

Woah! It was super busy for a Sunday night - looked like college night, but we were craving Happy Lemon for a while and went in! It was loud, bright, and the smells were just right! Second time here and wanted the same thing as last time because OH MAN they were unforgettable- the Regular Waffle Bubble with Puff Cream & the Fruit Ube Boba Smoothie. Because it was sooo busy (like all of the tables were taken up), a couple of people had placed orders before us, AND they were going to close in the next 40 minutes or so, I started to get a bit nervous - wondered maybe if the quality was going to be different and/or if we were going to wait long..NOPE, Honey Lemon will treat you right! We didn't wait long at all and the taste of the waffle and the boba were just as I had remembered - delicious, light, airy, buttery, sweet but not too sweet (these descriptions are for both the waffle + the boba) Get them both please, the boba is incomplete without the waffle and vice versa. I hope they open more locations around town soon! read more
