    Books to read

    I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. The place was not very busy. Store was neat and well organized. Boba milk tea with puff cream was my drink. It was a nice drink. I went for 25% ice, I should have gone for a bit more. Chocolate waffle was delicious. There were kids books to read, which was nice. Nobody was reading though.

    strawberry shortcake smoothie with Boba (no caffeine)
    Alex G.

    so good! I took my 2 littles to grab a fun drink and waffle. The kids shared a strawberry shortcake smoothie with Boba and they loved it! no caffeine! We also ordered an Oreo waffle and OMG it was so good. warm and crisp with a puff filling. the service was also great. They were happy to accommodate splitting the drink into 2 cups for my young kids. They also have board games and books in store which makes it a fun experience

    house thai tea

    Egg waffle was standard and tasty, crispy exterior with soft chewy interior. The chocolate flavor was pretty good, reminded me of a brownie. The drink (house thai tea) was pretty disappointing, so watered down and basically tasted like watery creamer :( No tea flavor at all. Get the waffles here but skip the watery drinks.

    I like Happy Lemon a lot. It's a good safe option for me. I like the creaminess of their milk teas. If it's earlier in the day I get the regular boba milk tea with no sugar, otherwise I get the jasmine milk tea with boba. This time I went my boba was a tiny bit overcooked (not that chewy) but I still drank it anyway! Hopefully they're a bit more chewy next time. They have magnetic Scrabble which is pretty fun!

    Mango sago has grapefruit but isn't listed or they just messed up my drink and added it in

    Love the app so I can order for pickup and save time. Bonus is buy 10 drinks and get one for free via the app. So far the 2 I have gotten I was able to change it to 50% sweet but my daughters lemon slushy didn't have that option. Today I order a mango sago at 50% with egg pudding but tell me why there were chunks or grapefruit mixed into my drink?!? I wish this ingredient was label into my drink order. It is a some what bitter fruit to have surprise you in your drink .

    Bogo

    New boba shop at Belmont. This is the newest Happy Lemon at Bay Area. It has buy one get one on Feb 22nd and Feb 23rd 12 PM To 8 pm. It is grand opening day. Line was not long when we arrived at around 3 pm. Youbcan order using the touch screen or order with the cashier. To order via the kiosk, you have to create account via Happy Lemon app. You don't need it if you order with cashier. All drink is bogo. Interesting is any second one you order is free regardless if it is more expensive than the first order. Wait time will be a while as there are many orders.

    Busy this grand opening weekend!

    New Happy Lemon in Belmont! Plenty of easy, strip mall parking. Two self order kiosks or place order with cashier (available but less obvious until I noticed another customer do it). Kiosk was a bit glitchy, and required membership to get the BOGO deal. Fortunately, I love Happy Lemon since my first sip in Taipei and am a member, of course! 5 different types of bubble waffle here as well as their usual drinks. Four tables and seats available for groups at this location. It's grand opening weekend so drinks took awhile and staff was busy but friendly. The happy lemon app doesn't recognize this location yet, as of 2/22/25 nor does GPS for that matter. Address is 850 Emmett Ave. I learned about the grand opening from their Instagram.

    Grapefruit Yakult
    Amy Z.

    I love getting the grapefruit yakult from happy lemon, the right sweetness and it's not watered down. I love the kid friendly environment here at this location, comic section area, with tons of board games set up, and magnetic scrabbles and checkers. It was easy to order on the kiosk and the staff was very fast. Got my drink within 5 minutes.

    Green Milk Tea with 100% ice and crystal boba.

    Service was fast. Simple ordering and pickup. Great seating layout. Drinks were tasty, milky and refreshing. Highly recommend.

    Came in 2nd or 3rd day of opening. I was the only one in there except for two other small parties that followed shortly after. Ordered two drinks but had a problem with only one, A2. Black Tea with salted cheese w/ boba added also shown in the photo. No cheese foam and no boba in my drink. I don't go to happy lemon often but I wanted to get something for my partner and her drink was fine. I did not know that the different tops would indicate cheese foam or not. Disappointed when they weren't busy and messed up my order.

    Came on 2nd day of grand opening. Very good location. However, Parking was hard. Super narrow for SUV car. STORE: Store decor is super simple. All white with little of yellow. Furniture are clustered with different pieces from different set. Only 2 laminated menu. Super sticky, and dirty. DRINK: No Milk tea available T_T. Self order kiosk were off. Menu is very limited. End up Ordered 4 drinks. 1. Roasted oolong tea with salted cheese: tea super watery. Salted cheese very liquidy. 2. Mango green tea with mango boba: tea super watery, all syrup. Boba was hard. 3. Lemon green tea kumquat: all syrup is in the bottom. Super sour. They forgot to shake?? 4. Mango matcha smoothie: the best of the rest but quality still ehh. Service: super quick. They don't have togo bag. The only bag that they can provide is the vegetable bag in grocery super market. :( Might back to try milk tea. But not for all the drinks above.

    Boba milk tea with puff cream

    Delicious boba tea, great location and warm, welcoming staff! What's not to love!!?! They just opened and I am not sure the people of Belmont have quite registered them yet. They are located right across Panda Express close to the Safeway on El Camino. Very convenient location- lots of parking nearby and you can easily weave this into your grocery run. Service was pleasant, quick and I was in and out in under a few minutes. They have a few tables if you want to hang around and enjoy stuff on location too. And best of all... their bubble waffle!! Sssooo good!! A delightful addition to Belmont!

The host was very friendly and explained that once we were ready to order, we could head to the register in the back. After placing our order for a group of four, our drinks arrived within just a few minutes. They looked exactly like the menu descriptions and tasted just as good. The food was fresh, hot, and clearly made with quality ingredients. We all especially loved the tomato soup. We also ordered a waffle to share as an appetizer, and it came topped with large, beautiful strawberries that tasted amazing. The portion size was generous. I ordered the Fresh Mozzarella sandwich on ciabatta bread and asked for it toasted, and it was phenomenal. I did not have very high expectations since this was a quick, last minute choice and we did not even check reviews beforehand, but I am so glad we gave it a try. The inside of the restaurant has a cute and colorful vibe, and everything felt clean and well kept. I will definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu

My first time here but my girlfriend who was visiting from Texas has eaten here recently while flying through to see her brother. This place very close to SFO airport so a great place to have breakfast Brunch or Lunch before picking up or dropping off at SFO as only 12 to 15 min based on traffic. THE FOOD: Cortado 10/10, Ice Tea 9/10 Flat White 8/10 (from Australian in our foursome) Hot Chocolate 9/10 Mixed salad Amazing. Soft boiled eggs perfectly cooked and balsamic on point. They have great sourdough served with delicious jam. We also had the prosciutto fig and goat cheese which was 10/10 and our friend from Texas enjoyed her GF Sammie. Husband had the Tuna Melt which he said 9/10 only because of the bread, he said 10 if he's had it on the acme sourdough ;-) Next time... The Place: Great location with lots of parking but not this past Sunday as huge event in town but in general loads of street and lot parking near by. Quaint seating inside and outside seating on both sides of this corner location. You order inside and seating is first come first serve so I imagine depending on the time of day it could be hard for any groups over 4 Employee Interaction: Super until the last person we interacted with. You order inside and they bring stuff out as made which is just the nature of busy brunch place. For example we had food come out in staggered spurts which is what you expect so as a example our friend who ordered first (10 min before us ) got her fig Sammie first but we got half our drinks first. Our food was staggered over a 15 min period also very expected at this type of brunch place. The problem came when the lady would brought the last food item the GF item and she said hey are we missing anything and I said yes my cortado and friend who ordered 10 min before we did so half and hour ago said she never got her hot coco. She was Super polite and brought them pretty quickly . We said thanks for finding them for us and she lectured us on how busy they are etc etc and were like WHOA THERE we did not complain although my friend could have as he drink came after she had eaten and 30 min after she ordered and yet we never complained. My complaint is with this staff members attitude, and I "assume" it came from dealing with folks expecting the food or drinks to all come out at same time and thats not how these types of places work. WE GET THAT and again it would have been a 5 had we not been lectured after thanking her for hunting down our drinks ;-) Will I be back SURE the food was great

    I like visiting here with my family. We go somewhat regularly and I've also bought their cakes…read more Those are great! Lots of variety and new items to try. I had one poor experience, which is why I knocked off one star. As a Filipina, I was curious to try their Ube flavored drinks. I've had many elsewhere and I was very disappointed with the one I received. I understand it was a new item on the menu but frankly, the drink was gross... it didn't taste like Ube at all. It tasted like rancid, dirty ice water. I couldn't bring myself to drink more of it. I was involuntarily retching with any attempt to try it again. I normally speak directly to someone if something is off instead of resorting to yelp comments so that's what I did but the person at the register did not acknowledge what I had to say and he did not assure me of any systems in place to consider my feedback further. What I got was that "he never tried it" and "that's just how it tastes." I probably wouldn't have left this review if I wasn't left so disappointed with the interaction. I will continue to support the business because I understand that one bad drink is just that but I am nervous about ordering drinks from here again... All my other interactions and orders have been honestly stellar otherwise.

This is actually a large chain, and the name leads you to expect something it doesn't deliver: the pastries and selection don't feel French at all. Having enjoyed real French cuisine elsewhere, this felt more like picking something up at a grocery store bakery counter than a genuine patisserie experience. Our son has wanted to stop in a few times, and each time I've left disappointed. Service has also been underwhelming and the staff seemed unhappy and inattentive.

They also have a fun selection of cards and gifts by local artists, although some of the prices are a bit unreasonable (like $40 for a tiny planter pot). The coffee shop is fine, but less exciting.

I thought the Nutella would be somewhat mixed in for sweetness, but it was literally just a teaspoon of Nutella in my drink. I've tried their Chaga Matcha in the past, and it was also just okay.
