    Roasted Okinawa milk tea w/boba, milk tea with lychee jelly.
    Meng E.

    My friend and I were here at the mall and after some shopping, decided we needed some milk tea to keep us going. After looking around, we came to Happy Lemon. Service was quick and friendly, our order was taken right away. After about 5 minutes, our order came out and we sat and enjoyed them a bit before moving on. It was quiet inside the shop and it was relaxing after shopping around the mall. My usual order is the milk tea with salted cream, but I opted for the Okinawa Roasted milk tea this time around with boba. My friend got the milk tea with lychee jelly. We both enjoyed our drinks a lot. Overall, one of the nicer Happy Lemon that I've been to in terms of customer service and atmosphere. I would come here again if I were in the area, as this is pretty far from where I am usually.

    Looking for good boba to drink while shopping in a mall? Happy Lemon it is! Their Black Tea with Salted Cheese is one that you have to try! I also really like their Mango Matcha Smoothie with boba. All my friends give me weird looks whenever I order that drink but after trying a sip of mine, they're quite surprised that such a combo could taste so good. Their boba is always super fresh too! I am not too big of a lemon/sour fan but I know a lot of people like ordering their lemon slush series.

    A great option for boba when you're shopping at Serramonte. Happy Lemon offers high quality and unique drinks. I love their salted cheese foam! My latest visit was for the Genshin collab, and this drink was soooo good. It blew me away. The service is always nice and well kept. Super casual spot, great for a quick pick up, though they also have seating available if you want to sit down for a bit.

    Matcha waffle
    Ashley Y.

    Kind of disappointed, first time trying happy lemon and first time getting a waffle. Waited 17 min to get a matcha waffle and it was cold... not sure if it's supposed to be room temp, but I had assumed they would cook it up with some premade batter in the back... was mainly let down because of how long we waited for a seemingly already made waffle and it wasn't hot or even warm

    Vietnamese coffee with puff cream and Strawberry matcha latte
    Michele T.

    First time trying Happy Lemon. Hubs wanted to try the Vietnamese coffee with puff cream. He noted it was quite strong and the coffee quite bitter. He didn't finish it. I ordered the Strawberry matcha latte at 50% sweetness and less ice. Just the right amount of sweetness and I liked the bits of strawberry.

    Passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly and salted cheese black tea
    Tina R.

    Easy experience ordering on app and picking it up. We were literally the only customers on a Tuesday noon time. We ordered a passionfruit green tea with lychee jelly; my 3 year old loves it. A little too sweet for my tastebuds at regular sugar. I asked 50% ice but it sounded like a lot of ice in the cup. We also ordered the salted cheese black tea, my ultimate favorite drink here. The cheese topping is soo good!

    Ordered hot and cold bubble tea which was good. Place was busy and no place to sit but service was friendly.

    Genshin Collab

    I went to this Happy Lemon location in the Serramonte Mall mainly because this is one of the stores that were doing the pop-up for the Genshin Impact collab so there was no doubt I was gonna go. It's an easy shop to get to as long as you don't go during busy hours. The inside is a good size and the decoration for the collab is really nice. The customer service is friendly and are nice enough to at least ask what sugar and ice level I want for my drinks. There isn't much difference for the collab sets, but I bought the $34.95 premium combo which is definitely a lot! It came with an in-game code, cup sleeve, a tumbler, etc. The drink itself was okay, but I made the mistake of ordering 100% sweetness at Happy Lemon because 100% is REALLY sweet which is on me and I should have seen coming. The drink is basically their class milk tea and it comes with boba and lychee which is an odd combo to me, but it kinda works. The whipped cream they use on top is pretty solid too. I wouldn't mind going here at all whenever I'm shopping at Serramonte.

    Happy Lemon is always a reliable spot for great quality tea drinks and over the years, they've really upped their milk tea offerings. I love that this is in the same mall as Target because that makes it an easy drink to grab and shop around (which is dangerous, I know). I went with their classic milk tea with soy milk and boba (half sugar and ice). My drink was well made and not too sweet. Boba was on the harder side today but this is likely from them trying to make a lot of it at once. Note: they use a non-dairy creamer by default but these are not vegan. If you're looking for a completely plant-based milk option, opt for their soy milk.

    D11. Okinawa Sugar w/Fresh milk Boba
    Ashley L.

    so delicious, classic brown sugar milk with a caramel taste, fast service, inside the mall

    They did not put $1.25 worth of puff cream in my drink. I am appalled.

    They did not put $1.25 worth of puff cream in my drink. I am extremely disappointed. Shame on you SERRAMONTE HAPPY LEMON

    Okinawa fresh milk with boba is my favorite. Tastes very creamy and rich. Boba pearls are also perfect texture -- chewy and bouncy.

    Andrea K.

    Three words: CHEESE TEA ONLY cheese foam + tea never fails at happy lemon, but unfortunately that's the only thing good. We tried milk tea, Yakult tea, and none of them are good. Most of their drinks are WAYY to sweet, even with less sugar. Boba was also not done right and the texture was off. Props to the employees for answering our questions and remaking my overly sweet drink though!

    *** U P D A T E ***…read more It's been many years since I had a drink from Coco3. The last time I had a drink here, it was just ok. Nothing outstanding. But through the years, I would see a crowd of people every time I'd pass by. I often wondered what the hype was and what these people were ordering?! My daughter was drinking a Coco3 drink the other day and it wasn't your typical boba drink, so I asked what it was. She told me it was a Coco Crave ~ one of her favorite drinks! So last night after dinner, I decided to check out this fav drink of hers! The shop is clean, well kept, and actually pretty new since they moved into another unit in the same outdoor mall/plaza. In front, there are 2 kiosks to take your order. Pretty convenient since the staff are usually in the back making drinks. *** M Y P I C K *** COCO CRAVE ~ (coconut juice, coco cube, jade jelly, coconut meat, jelly boba, basil seed) at 25% sweetness level. This drink reminded me of the Vietnamese 3 color dessert drink! Yummy and perfectly sweetened at 25%. I realized after ordering, I could get crushed ice. For sure there will be a next time! 5/5 There are tables for those who would like to relax and have a seat while drinking their drinks. I sat down for about 5 minutes and my order was ready! Quick service! Looking over the menu, you can customize your drink and make all kinds of concoctions! Or you can pick a specialty drink with already set items. Either way, you can't go wrong! Haha I guess I've been missing out all these years. Can't wait to go back and try another drink at Coco3!

    Cafe 86 has been around in other parts of the country and finally opened a location in Daly City…read more Since I knew about all the grand opening festivities, I wanted to wait a while before visiting to let the hype die down a bit. I finally went on a Tuesday afternoon and there were a few others waiting for their orders but nothing too crazy. The space itself is not too big with minimal seating. I ended up ordering their infamous Upside Down Halo Halo (regular size) to go. Upon first glance, it looked very delicious with its vibrant purple color. I also liked how I did not see a huge portion of crushed ice since I don't like all the ice filler in a typical halo halo. This version contains coconut jelly, jackfruit, boba, Frosted Flakes, flan, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream over an ube base. The toppings all worked really well with each other and overall the dessert wasn't too overly sweet. I also realized that Cafe 86 doesn't include all of the beans typically found in a halo halo, and I actually prefer this as well. I'm glad I have a Cafe 86 close enough that I can enjoy the ice cream without it melting too much during transit. I look forward to trying the other items on their menu.

All in all, it was very tasty, despite it being on the sweet side.
