I like Happy Lemon because they're consistent no matter which location you go to. They never disappoint. My favorite is their dragon fruit drink, I just really like dragon fruit, and this one is so good. I always add the salted cream (crema) on top, and you honestly can't go wrong with it. Every time I order it, it tastes exactly the same, which I really appreciate. Overall, I just like Happy Lemon in general for the consistency. When I'm craving something refreshing, this is my go-to. read more

Not the best. I ordered their mango matcha twice now. The first time, I thought they made my smoothie watery on accident so I disregarded it. Today, I went again and ordered their mango matcha and it was very liquid'y. I'm pretty sure they gave me someone else's order bc it came out the second I finished ordering. Service was nice though. The person that took my order was great read more

I LOVE HAPPY LEMON! I can taste their tea in every Milk Tea I buy. Their SALTED CHEESE FOAM IS PHENOMENAL!!! Like no other. I always go to this location because it's spacious and the service here is quick and easy. Also, a lot of free parking because it's inside Serramonte Mall in Daly City, CA. PLEASE STAY IN BUSINESS. Grateful. read more

Happy Lemon has always been my favorite boba place to get the cheese foam. The black tea with cheese foam with matcha powder sprinkled on top is forever my go-to. If I crave for something more refreshing then I get the strawberry black tea with a lower sweetness. I don't shop at Serramonte much, but when I do go, Happy Lemon is always one of the stops for a drink and an egg puff... or what they call it, bubble waffle. read more

One of the better tea drink in the mall. Known for their cheese drinks, drink at a tilt. Currently, the drinks range from plain tea at $5.95 to speciality drink at $7.95. Order at the register and you somewhat need to scream since it is hard for the employees to hear. The line moves pretty quickly. A few tables on the side to sit in, definitely needs some maintenance and cleaning. Tried their August new items which was the mango sago ($7.95). Wished there was more mango in the drink. Overall, the drink was pretty good. Creamy with coconut milk and had plenty of sago and grapefruit bits. The topping prices are a bit inflated which are either $1 or $1.25. Happy lemon is always a reliable choice for boba, a bit pricier, but great options. read more

One of my favorite boba spots! My go-to drink is A5 and I love getting the bubble waffle with puff cream! My absolute favorite combo

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Went in for the advertised bogo 1/2 off sale as advertised on the website and marketing email. Employee behind the counter said it didn't work at this location. On the plus side, this location of happy lemon has been the most consistent of the happy lemons I've visited, always good boba, quick service, and good tasting drinks. I stick to the fruit teas because the "milk" teas are non-dairy. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Happy Lemon drinks are always solid! A great go-to spot! My favorite is their Green tea with Salted Cheese. I usually swing by to grab one when I'm at the mall. However I noticed they recently changed the menu graphic so now the text is smaller and more difficult to see. Not great especially when it gets busy. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

A busy location within Serramonte Mall. I decided to come in and get a salted cheese green tea and a fresh lemon green tea. The salted cheese drink was so yummy - lightly sweet and refreshing, the barista also sprinkled a light dusting of matcha powder on top which gave it a very subtle bitter under note in the overall flavor profile, which I liked. The lemon green tea is waaayy too tart though. You have an entire lemon blended in it and it is a really strong taste. They also have very limited seating inside for how much foot traffic they get. read more

I was craving a lemon slushy so badly this past weekend when it was 100 degrees out, but gosh this lemon slush was too sour for me and also quite melted even though I drank it right away. I would've liked it to be more of a slush instead of a lemonade. The line was also insanely long, but I think they got through it as efficiently as they could. Like I said, it was hot! read more

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

Happy Lemon - D11. Okinawa Sugar w/Fresh milk Boba - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Daly City, California

Not all happy lemon locations taste the same this one is located inside the mall so it can get very packed. I was craving a fresh strawberry green tea with salted foam but it did not hit. They also don't have taro balls at this location. The drink was so sweet and the foam didn't taste right. My partner got the ube milk tea and said it wasn't good either. The boba was nice and chewy though. It did come in a bigger cup. Still disappointed. read more

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

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! read more

I use to categorize happy lemon as having mid drinks, but I tried the most life changing drink last week and got it three other times since. I don't prefer overly sweet drinks or ones where I can taste the syrup abuse, but the Mango Orange Milk Tea will satisfy your sweet tooth needs. I was skeptical at first since it was not starred as recommended, but the worker described it similar to dimsum mango pudding and it tastes exactly like that. There are candied orange peel bits and the combination sounds strange, but trust me it's perfection. I'd like to note it comes with agar boba, but I usually substitute it for regular boba because I prefer more chewiness. I also get 0% sweetness since the worker warned me that it's on the sweeter side and personally that level is just right! read more

I'm giving 3.5 stars, the drink was watered down. I could barely taste any of the black tea. I really like that there was a thick layered of salted cheese so I wasn't fully upset. The boba texture was a tad harder than how I would've liked. The service was quick. It's inside of the mall and near Target and Aerie. read more

Our go to, especially when we are at Serramonte. Love their strawberry black tea with mango boba. This is the only spot that serves manger boba that's within our area. Their service is quick and place is spacious enough where even with long lines, it doesn't feel crowded. Its also nice that it's in a mall. read more

I love happy lemon, staff are nice. Usually always a little busy. I always get the salted cheese Jasmine tea- with or without boba. I like things on the sweet side so i get 100% sugar- but even 75% is sweet enough. Original bubble waffle is super good, 5/5. I've also tried the chocolate bubble waffle, which is good but leaves a interesting aftertaste, 3/5. read more

Great location (it's inside Serramonte Shopping Center) and there's usually a line. Thankfully, I came right when they just opened for the day and it was a weekday. They have so many great options that it was hard to decide on one. Decided to go for the kumquat lemon green tea as I wanted something tart and refreshing. It definitely hit the spot. Would be interested in trying their other drink items--maybe next time when I'm not as rushed. read more

"Wealth can also be that attitude of gratitude with which we remind ourselves everyday to count our blessings." - The Pursuit Of Happyness One of my all-time inspirational movies is "Pursuit of Happy-ness" starring Will Smith as Chris Gardner, based on a real life story of a man and toddler son, forced to live on the mean streets of San Francisco with little to own but a strong desire to succeed in life. He did, in becoming a millionaire, owning a company, and achieving happy-ness. Of course this was well before Will slapped Chris Rock in RL lol. Now every time I see anything with "Happy" I always smile and think of that inspirational movie. Enter Happy Lemon haha. Yes, even at a boba spot my mind can drift off... no worries it's my day off :D Happy Lemon is a Taiwan-based boba chain known for specializing in Asian cheese teas -- sweet-and-savory cold tea drinks topped with salted milk and cream cheese foam. Yes, it's all over the suburbs and franchised across the the world. Prob near you! Happy Lemon at Serramonte Mall is convenient for me if I'm craving boba, I rarely crave it, so by no means am I a savant of chewy balls lol. This rather newer location is clean, bright, and have very Happy employees :D Always pleasant to me and answers any questions I might have. Like um what's that? Lol. I've been here several times always between errands or appointments in the area. I've had the Fresh Passion Fruit Mango Green Tea, Handcrafted Salted Cheese Ice Cream, and other Boba drinks. Today I got the Salted Cheese Green Tea and tried the Bubble Waffle. $6 for that Waffle but it's hella G! Nothing extravagant, just less sugar, and small/med. Just enough to hit the spot and off I go... Happy :D In the end, kudos to this Happy Lemon in the 'burbs. Employees always pleasant and consistent with product. Once again, I'm no savant of boba, but I love Happy people! Til this day I still get motivated by rags to riches stories like Chris Gardner! I just can't look at Will Smith the same! Will ain't Happy! :0 read more

I remember my first time trying HL way back then. The salted cheese caught me by surprise and I was then, hooked. I don't get it as much as I used to, but it still gets the job done. I'm pretty basic. My fave is their number one most popular drink black tea with salted cheese. Hahahaha. It consistently makes me happy, so it's obviously the winner. Their boba is nice and chewy, but I prefer my A2 just as is without boba. Customer service is A1. ;) read more

Time & Date: Thursday, Dec 16th 2021 @ 2:30pm Delivery: DoorDash ORDERED: - D1. Milk Tea w/ Tiramisu Salted Cheese - (L $7.25) - G5. Strawberry Green Tea w/ boba - (M $6.50) I know Happy Lemon specializes in lemon inspired drinks, but I've always been more drawn to the salted cheese! My first time having salted cheese foam in boba was indeed from Happy Lemon, and now I am absolutely hooked. This time I ordered a classic Boba Milk Tea & added Tiramisu Salted Cheese to it. The milk tea itself has a strong tea flavor with a nice smooth creaminess, very reminiscent of Hong Kong milk tea! The Tiramisu Salted Cheese tasted more like a chocolate coffee foam with a slight saltiness, I couldn't really taste the cheesiness. It was good but I found that the flavor was a bit too strong and overpowered the drink. Next time I would just stick to the classic salted cheese. The Strawberry Green Tea comes with real bits of blended strawberries, and the tea taste is fairly strong as well. The drink itself was a bright vibrant red which makes me think there's some sort of artificial syrup, but it could very well just be the naturally bright red strawberries. For tea lovers, you will love this drink! read more

I am a true Happy Lemon lover over Quickly any day at the mall. I will say as many times as I have gone here for their boba drinks, I was a bit disappointed with how my first drink just tasted like a super sweet cereal in a boba drink. I know ube is sweet but this was way too sweet for me though I asked for 25% sweet. This drink is the Ube milk tea with puff cream and taro balls in it and I wouldn't ever get this drink again. I love their puff cream drinks but this was just too much overall. If you love sweet and super sugary drinks, this one is up your ally. This drink only comes in a large by the way. The other drink I got was the milk tea Oreo tiramisu salted cheese which was actually delicious. I really like their salted cheese series and the 25% sweet was perfect for this drink. This drink comes in a "regular" and a large. read more
