    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Genshin Collab
    Alden C.

    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.

    Definitely a fun and VAST variety of Taiwan fresh brew tea experience! Clean, airy, happy space…read morethat has both self order kiosks. If you don't know what to pick or want recs don't be afraid to walk up and speak to one of the kind folks working the front cashier. Super organized, screen scares where you are in the cue and a steady pace of of people coming through and a few seating spots that you can hang out while you're enjoying your drink. They even have some games like Uno, Cards against Humanity and chess etc to play amongst friends/family. Came once before with my daughter that she insisted we come back before the end of summer and make sure we had her little brother with us this time (awww). So if you're into this tea and boba and more scene, stop by when you're in the Serramonte area. Prices are fair for what it is, ranges between $7.95-$9.95 depending on how many extras you want to include. Sweetness options go from perfect, light, to none and Ice options go from regular, light, none, or hot! Also just one size. They are in the strip mall where Sprouts and Sketcher's are.... Parking is plenty and time getting your drink is reasonable and worth the wait even if it seems crowded inside.

The place is small and has a small bench where you can sit while waiting for your drink. Parking is in the back, so drive around to the parking garage and look for the customer parking area.
