    I thought the Oreo bubble waffle with the salted sweet foam was quite tasty! However we also order the Thai tea and I was not a fan.

    Horrible lemon iced tea. The lady at the counter is think didn't rinse out the tea. It tasted like cleaner and the lemon tasted stale. This location is alway empty..probably because it's not fresh and the drinks are poorly made.

    I wanted something refreshing to drink before my NOC shift so here I am. I got the grapefruit green tea. This drink was pretty refreshing. What I really liked is that they had a cool Genshin collab going on. Definitely keeping my cup lol. Try it out if you like. :)

    When I'm in the area I usually stop by this Happy Lemon. I always get the green tea with cream as well as a cup of fried fish cakes. Prices has steadily increased but its still a good place to grab a drink and snacks.

    Classic bubble waffle , fresh squeezed lemon black ice tea and popcorn chicken .

    Went in for a mid day snack waiting for my kid's after school class. Metered parking was available along the street near the shop. I originally ordered bubble waffle , popcorn chicken ( spice on the side ) and a green tea - fresh lemon ice drink. I'm not a fan of the green tea as it was very perfume taste like Jasminr tea. If you like jasmine tea then this is the drink for you. I was able to order the black tea - fresh squeezed lemon drink and it was amazing ( no sugar added ) . The popcorn chicken was so fresh and made to order along either my waffle . Both were the perfect afternoon snack my tummy needed . Our food attendant Miles was so helpful, professional and took the time in my order; since it was my first time at this location and ordering chicken . I even came back with my kid to order more for the ride home and my other kid wanting an after school scooby snack. I ordered thr milk tea with the brown sugar boba drink and WOW!!!! Love this place and will come back for the amazing food, drinks and helpful staff. The shop is very clean and a great place to meet a friend or do some business.

    Popcorn chicken salted plum

    Came by to try their new popcorn chicken. The staff was nice enough to let me try a couple of the powders before choosing my flavor. We loved the salted plum. It really reminded me of an Asian salted plum and was delicious! As much as I liked the flavor and that the chicken was moist and juicy, I realized that some of the chicken was undercooked and raw :(. Not good for one of my family who is immune compromised so this was quite upsetting. I know it's a new item, so hope that they will be able to figure it out in time. Tried to call to let them know of this issue but the phone line doesn't seem to be working and it was too far to return for us.

    Love the locations that make Bubble Waffles.

    Quick take: One of my favorite chains I love Happy Lemon! It's the whole vibe, all the fun colors, their mascot and of course their boba drinks. This location sells the bubble waffles; yummy. This shop smells so good right when I swing the door open and walk inside. My go to drink is always A2- Black Tea Salted Cheese which is the number 1 drink on the Top 10 list. I order this one at 75% sugar and 25% ice. If it's later in the day I don't want to go so hard on the black tea and sugar. Later in the day I will usually go for a fresh lemon green tea or a fruit tea drink with 25% sugar/25% ice no boba. The original Bubble Waffle is pretty good. I can eat the whole thing by myself but I do share it with others.

    G11 Berry smoothie with puff cream @ 50% sugar -- out has Oreos! This is my go to boba spot on the Peninsula. There's not many amazing boba places out here, but Happy Lemon does the trick!

    Popcorn chicken menu

    This review is only for the new popcorn chicken snack. I was so happy that Burlingame finally has a place that sells popcorn chicken. But I was actually really disappointed. The portion was rather small for 10.25 after tax and tip and the spiciness is just not there. I wish it would be more spicy. I ordered Mala spicy and there's nothing Mala or spicy about it. Would definitely go again if I'm really craving popcorn chicken but otherwise would go to other places in San Mateo instead. Ambience of the store is nice and not crowded at all and service was good. I really only took it to go.

    I think their quality has improved over quarantine and have been coming here more often recently! The workers are very friendly and accommodating though it may take a bit longer to get drinks on busier days because there are usually only 2 people working. I highly recommend the Salted Cheese series! I didn't order it for the longest time because the concept sounded so weird but I recently decided to try it and it's delicious. It tastes similar to cream cheese or the salted cream foam from other boba shops. It is a bit sweet so I recommend getting 50% or less sugar. Overall, happy lemon is a solid spot for boba and I am very content as a boba addict.

    I'm happy whenever I get Happy Lemon! *:. o()o .:* There truthfully hasn't been a Happy Lemon that has tarnished my experience - Burlingame location however always stands out as an option for boba whenever I'm in that area. This is a big deal considering the multiple boba options in that radius. The boba is petite compared to other spots, sweetened and has just the right amount of bite and chew to them. I always love getting the salted cheese. My partner always orders the kumquat lemon slushy and my kids happily enjoy their mango yakult slushy. I also appreciate how they allow me to order a large boba and have it split into two cups for my kiddos because they can't finish regular sized boba cup. This last visit was especially stand out because of how quickly the employees worked. COVID times meant there was only two of them, and about 10 drink orders happened in the time frame I was there. One girl was taking the orders and the other was getting these drinks and egg puffs made all on her own and despite her rush, she still managed to be kind and pleasant to me when calling my order. Glad that they can keep the quality despite low staffing and high demand on a Monday afternoon.

    Ask the Community - Happy Lemon

    Is the cheese foam pasteurized?

    Do they offer alternative milks? (Almond, oat, etc.)

    We have soymilk!

    What's the difference between the Fresh Lemon Series and Freshly Squeezed Lemon Series? Both the Fresh Lemon Green Tea and the Freshly Squeezed Lemon Green Tea are $4.50.

    Fresh Lemon series uses the whole lemon so there is a stronger lemon taste. The freshly squeeze lemon series uses just lemon juice, this gives a slightly less lemon taste so the tea flavor comes out more.

    Finally tried palmetto for the custom açaí bowl. There's 3 different sizes. There's an iPad so you…read morecan self order. Came on a Saturday noon and it was busy. It was about 10 mins wait. Love the matcha base and chia seed pudding. It's so refreshing on a warm day. The smoothies looked really good too but pricey $10+

    I was excited to get a smoothie, and I immediately noticed that all the flavors are kind of weird…read more But I rolled with it and I got the mango something with ginger... it's disgusting. I got My son one too with no ginger because he doesn't like ginger and his is disgusting too. My other son got the acai flavor. They asked me if I would like peanut butter in it, and of course, I said.... nope. Well, it totally tastes like peanut butter. I'm sorry, I know the world is changing but who the hell drinks peanut butter? Anyway...all of these smoothies are way too slimy. It's obviously a stirred together concoction. Far from a blended smoothie. There is no ice flakes in them. I'll tell you that . Their cups are the cheapest cups too. I mean you sneeze, and your cup caves in. You can imagine how this went with my nine-year-old having one. Sticky gelatinous, slime all over my car. It's super sticky too. Here's another thing. I heard no blenders. I'm damn sure that these guys simply stir together a slime solution that's premixed. There is no freshness going on there. This is slime. It's really bad slime. These are not normal smoothies. They are not good smoothies. They've got a giant poster of some guy stoned out of his mind throwing a sideways peace sign as the poster child for this thing that they've created. It is a really gross place. You would need to be stoned out of your mind to enjoy one of these slime cups. Gross. I want my money back.
