    I stopped by once because I didn't feel like sitting in traffic. This location is a little bit smaller with a couple tables and a few chairs for a window seat. It is very clean and organized. They didn't have any other patrons in there at the time that I came in. They had a couple mobile order pickups/takeaway orders though. The service was really quick: I didn't have a long wait for my boba. I ordered the Taro milk tea with puff cream and boba. It was pretty good. It wasn't the best, but it was pretty good. Portion is really good. The boba was a little bit underdone, but it's okay. I liked it regardless. Overall, I had a good experience.

    Popcorn chicken

    They open late 10pm which is good for night snacking. I like their drinks than the popcorn chicken. The chicken seemed overly MSG, it doesn't have the basil leaves.

    A4. Roasted Tea w/ Salted Cheese

    I like Happy Lemon's tea, and they have some of the best cheese cream in my opinion. However, we've repeatedly had poor service at this location in particular, so I'm not sure if we'll be coming back. (Fool me twice..) It's disappointing, because this plaza is a great location, but we'd rather visit any of the other numerous tea shops here that have better service. For some reason, the workers here won't announce when your order is ready, so you need to stay inside and pester them about it. They'll hide it behind the counter or in the back room too, so you won't be able to see it either. What the hell? I see from other reviews that we are not alone in this experience...

    Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea (50 sugar, less ice and less boba)
    Nathalie

    My usual go-to on super hot days. I either go with the Okinawa Roasted MT or the Fresh squeezed lemon black tea. Both are usually consistent...MT is deep and creamy...lemon tea is refreshing. Almost every time I go there during the day the same female worker is there, juggling multiple orders. She is always polite and courteous.

    I love coming to this happy lemon because of its location. It's near a bunch of delicious restaurants and a 99 ranch to do some grocery shopping. The service was ok because it was pretty busy on a weekend. The boba was delicious. The strawberry green tea and the Okinawa roasted milk tea with egg pudding was very refreshing.

    I've been going to this Happy Lemon for years. The location is right inside of Cupertino Village. It has Ranch 99, Sheng Kee Bakery, Ten Ren, a bunch of cafe/restaurants, and more! Their drinks don't disappoint. The wait can be a bit long (15 -20 minutes) when it's busy, but during other times I get my drinks within 15 minutes even when we order many at a time. I really like the milky and creamy taste from their cheese foam and their refreshing, thirst-quenching smoothies :)

    A1. Green Tea with Salted Cheese
    Irene L.

    Came on a Saturday, first timer at this location so got a bit confused where the Happy Lemon actually was. It's in the inner part between all the buildings - a bit hidden away. I was the only customer in there and there was only 1 worker. I didn't get acknowledge until she came to take my order which was over 5 minutes. I ordered my usual, green tea with salted cheese - light on the ice and less sugar. The drink came out fairly quick. Flavor of drink was on point, pretty consistent with all other Happy Lemons. If you're a HL lover like me, make sure to get the reward card to accumulate points to get free drinks!

    happy lemon has popcorn chicken in some locations now! My friend had a free coupon and let me use it :) an order of popcorn chicken is 8.50 here. I got the paprika spicy at level regular. I wish they had a spicier option- the spiciest is "regular". There was only 1 girl running the shop so the order took pretty long like 20 minutes. The popcorn chicken was crispy on the outside and the inside was juicy. I was impressed but just wish it was spicier!

    Left - medium boba milk tea with normal (100%?) sweetness and ice
 
 Right - medium mango lemon slushy with normal (100%?) sweetness and ice
    Emily C.

    Note: This is Happy Lemon located in the Cupertino Village Ranch 99 Plaza!! Ordered a medium boba milk tea for myself and a medium mango lemon slushy for my sister. You can customize size of drink (medium or large), ice level, and sugar levels. Very happy and satisfied with my drink - note I have a BIG sweet tooth and so does my sister! We ordered regular sugar/how it is usually made (I'm assuming 100% sweetness?) Either way, if you do NOT have a sweet tooth, order it with LESS SUGAR because it IS sweet. (Sweet is how I like things). Came here around 3:45 pm on a Tuesday afternoon. No staff or customers in sight when I arrived, but I did hear a staff member washing dishes in the back. There is no bell I can ring to alert anyone I am there... about 30 seconds after my arrival, a line starts to form behind me. I and the customers behind me probably stand there for a total of 5-10 minutes... Eventually a staff member finally comes out and he immediately begins to take my order along with the 4 customers behind me. The poor guy was working alone! After taking everyone's order, he immediately made my drinks and gave it to me in a bag. So nice! 5/5 for the drinks 4/5 because I had to wait 5-10 minutes for the staff member to come out and take my order. I feel bad because he was working alone.... the poor guy! But I do have to say, he handled the afternoon boba rush well! I would have given this place 5/5 if someone was up at front/I didn't have to wait for someone to come out from the back, that's all. Highly recommend! I am happy with Happy Lemon and enjoyed my drink! :)

    Order thru app at 2:29pm, only ordered 1 egg waffle. Arrived store at 2:46, checked with server, not ready yet. No other customer at all, servers talk with each other having fun.10 mins past, check with server again and still not ready. Sit right in the front table, 3:06pm I ask another server again and then suddenly the waffle is ready for a long time ago. If it need 40 mins to prepare a single egg waffle, better show it in the app before head.

    Missing Crystal Boba. Missing Salted Cheese. Ordered 5/12/24 2:03PM ask for the ladies to make your order not the guy in the front.

    Missing crystal boba. Missing salted cheese. Ordered 5/12/24 2:03PM. Ask for the ladies to make your order not the guy in the front. I always order at this place even I live far. This gonna be the last time.

    How we decided which drinks to order...
    Lisa C.

    After seeing so many Happy Lemon locations in the Bay Area, my husband and I decided to check one out on a Friday night after dinner. I ordered the mango lemon slushy, and he got the Okinawa milk tea. My drink was so sweet that I couldn't finish it. His beverage was very milky and the Okinawa flavor tasted watered down. We aren't overly picky when it comes to boba spots, but we were surprised how underwhelming the drinks were since they were on the "top 10" list. I will note that the location was clean and modern, and the staff followed proper COVID-19 guidelines. Will I come back? Maybe! It wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd be open to giving it another try and ordering their matcha.

    Strawberry smoothie
    Kevin B.

    Teaching my daughter how to drive, and she wanted to stop here. I am pleasantly surprised. Already had dinner, but I'll be back to try the popcorn chichen and wings. I got the strawberry smoothie, which is quite good. Next time, I'll try the chocolate and salty something. Curious. Good service, I do wish they had a small or regular size to go with the only size they seem to carry, which is a large. Oh yeah, I *love* that you get to pick the sugar level, and ice level. I got 25% sugar and it was darn near perfect.

If you're…read morelooking for high-quality matcha and delicious einspanners, this place is absolutely worth the drive. // Banana pudding matcha einspanner My go-to. The banana pudding tastes fresh and natural without being overpowering or overly sweet. The cookie crumble adds the perfect bit of texture and ties everything together. It's one of those drinks I keep craving. // Sunny Side Up Matcha Einspanner I genuinely thought they had cracked a real egg on top at first (oopsies). It's actually mango syrup, which is super creative. The mango is definitely on the sweeter side, so I like letting the ice melt just a little before drinking- it balances everything out really nicely. // Hojicha If you're a hojicha fan, you can't go wrong with any of their hojicha drinks. They have a deep, roasted flavor that's incredibly satisfying. My personal favorite is the Osmanthus Hojicha Einspanner because the floral osmanthus pairs beautifully with the nutty hojicha. Beyond the drinks, I also appreciate that the quality is consistently excellent. It's one of the few places where you can really taste the quality of the matcha. Definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to.

The line was long due to the weekend, but went by fairly quickly given you order on a touch screen. I had some questions and was able to grab someone making drinks to quickly answer them. There was a a strawberry matcha with strawberry foam on the counter for pick up that looked insane but there was no way to sub out the dairy in the foam (crying in allergies) so I got the oat milk strawberry matcha. It was a little watery and the strawberries were a tad syrupy but overall had great flavor. Easy to order and tables always open up to wait for your drink. Probably not a great place to plan to hang out with your drink through given it's a tad small inside and crowded! Excited to come back and try more drinks!
