Decided to get a lil sweet treat after a devastating leg day... yeah I know... again... Anyways lmao Ordered pick up. Figured I'd have to wait a bit bc I got there within 5 minutes of ordering, but everything was already packaged and ready to go. Decided to try a few different things. The mango jasmine green tea with tapioca was helllaaa refreshing. Who knows, maybe it was just bc I lost 83728lbs of sweat working out but. Whatever. I got it w less ice + half sugar and it was honestly still a bit too sweet IMO. The bubble waffle was aight. Tbh I just wanted to try it out. I got the OG w some puff cream or something. The lil balls alone are pretty good. The puff cream just adds a bit of sweet/salt flava to da mix. The texture of the actual waffle was pretty airy/light. The Korean corn dog was busssin. You can't go wrong w whatever variation you get. I got mine with the honey mustard sauce and ooooowee. Overall, solid. I'm sure I got like at LEAST 10g of protein from this meal lmao. Alright peace read more

Located next to Boiling point, this place sells a couple of things including mochi donuts, korean hot dogs, bubble waffles and bubble tea. I have only been here twice for the bubble tea but service has been fast and it has been solid both times. Have tried jasmine milk tea as well as ube milk cream with taro balls. I do really like their taro balls, chewy and tasty and everything tastes fresh. Solid place to grab drinks. read more

Service is SO SLOW here, it took half an hour to get a lemonade. Must have been waiting for the lemons to grow. And really loud too.

Me and my boyfriend ordered the boba, half and half hot dog and a churro mochinut. We had so much fun here! The only downside is that its super freakishly cold in here so i quite literally had to bring a blanket in to enjoy it. It also took quite some time to get our order. Id still come back tho hehe read more

Happy Lemon - Edmonds - Bubble Tea Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Back when I lived in the Bay Area, Happy Lemon used to be in my regular boba rotation, perhaps visiting once a month or so. I found their drinks to have by far the most caffeine of any other boba place - it would tend to make me feel quite jittery and jumpy for several hours after drinking. Happy Lemon has now spread to quite a number of cities in the US. I recently decided to stop by the Edmonds location to see if anything changed from my last visit to Happy Lemon several years ago. Boba Milk Tea, Large, 50% Sweet, Less Ice ($6.25) - This drink is similar to how I remember it - perfect balanced sweetness with a lot of body, allowing the tea taste to come through and meld with the other ingredients. They add a ton of milk powder, resulting in a drink that also feels like it's on the verge of being gritty, especially due to the residue that coats the tongue as you drink. I feel like the tea isn't quite as strong - while the flavor comes through, the bitterness of the caffeine is very muted. I waited for the jitters to arrive but they never came. The boba is just a bit on the firmer side, but exhibits a very pleasant chew throughout. I'd say overall this is a solid drink that I'd be happy with in most settings. Milk Tea Rating: 4/5 Boba Rating; 4/5 Happy Lemon is a pretty large chain at this point, so if you like the drinks at one location, you'll probably like the drinks here as well.

Location is clean, parking lot is big, they have a hotdog option which some of the Happy Lemon locations do not. I would say that this is a nice spot to connect with friends, and all of the drinks typically taste really good. Highly recommend C4 on the menu. read more

The service was fast and friendly! We were looking for Taro shake but they didn't have it. Instead we were recommended the Ube with Matcha shake. We added Lychee Jelly. It wasn't our favorite. It tasted like it had a hint of medicine to me but no surprise, it was likely the Matcha. The OG Bubble Waffle tasted as expected. The place was clean and spacey! I want to try the Seoul Dogs next time! read more

I always take the time to visit this place when I'm in Edmonds. The staff are really nice and very patient when it comes to helping us choose things we haven't tried before. It's always clean and the style and lighting is nice. Sure, sometimes there is a wait but it's a popular place and because of that, parking can sometimes be a challenge. However, people are moving in and out pretty quickly. The Mochinuts are a chewy ring of deliciousness but the choices tend to be limited. Their Korean hot dogs are fantastic and have yet to try the sugar coating and of course, Happy Lemon boba is always a yummy treat! Highly recommend! read more

You get your mochido, bubble tea (happy lemon) and corn dog (chun chung) 3 in 1 restaurant. Ambiance: The one thing that stood out to me was how dirty every single table was. Every table I checked out had some sort of stain on them-- whether it be grease or crumps. Some tables that were put together from two smaller tables had their edges all dirty and it's evident they haven't cleaned them for a while. The floor was sticky as well. Other than that, it was a cutest decorated place and very Instagram worthy :) Service: Food came out in around ten minutes-- we ordered two corn dogs and a pack of three Mochi donuts. It thought it was pretty decent timing-- no complaints there. Cashier was doing his job, not excellent but would answer your questions. But lowkey I think he thought I was asking useless questions from the way he answered my questions lol. But he wasn't rude about it so it's okay! Food: I can't really tell if the corn dogs were made fresh, but the cheese reallllly pulled off and I had a lot of fun eating it! 8/10!! The Mochi donuts were pretty mid. I don't think this has anything to do with the location because I feel the same way eating it every time. The Mochi wasn't really doing its thing and felt more like a regular donut. Flavour wise, it didn't really entice me this week. Overall, the donuts were probably a 5/10 average for me. Besides the cleanliness, everything else about this place was pretty good for an in and out restaurant! read more

I first saw the Happy Lemon bubble waffle in action on YouTube in a video by a duo based in Honolulu. It looked good, but I was uncertain of whether it would be as good in person as it looked on TV. So, I looked up Happy Lemon to see if they had any locations closer to me and found this Edmonds location a few miles from the house. After running 21.84 miles over the past 7 days, I decided to celebrate by trying out the bubble waffle. Arriving around 6:00 p.m. today, Monday 14 August 2023, I placed my order for an original bubble waffle and Tiramisu salted cheese (abbreviated SC on my receipt) at 6:04 p.m. and the workers were on filling it. By 6:12 p.m. I was out the door with my waffle and dipping sauce in hand. The bubbles of the waffle were partially filled with the waffle and partially filled with air. It was light and fluffy and a sweet flavor. The Tiramisu salted cheese was more of a rich flavor, which paired well with the sweetness of the waffle. I found it to be a nice sweet treat for a hot summer evening. read more

I revisited the Happy Lemon in Edmonds after a long time (since another location opened closer to me in Lynnwood) and I was pleasantly surprised to see its new renovations! There are new seating areas, which allows more people to sit in and the addition of board games builds the potential for a fun hang out spot! I absolutely love this spot for my personal favorite - ube fresh milk with taro balls. They also make delicious mochinuts with a variety of flavors that change throughout the week! I've never tried their Korean rice dogs before, but they also come in various combinations. The staff here is always friendly, but be wary of peak hours since I've had to wait 45 minutes for boba once! It just shows how much people love this location, especially with so many other food options around. read more

4.5 ! -0.5 only because I wish they had more caffeine free options since they're open so late (which is awesome) and the pudding was very bland and difficult to drink up so I had to eat it all at the end. But otherwise drinks were great! Rec: go lighter on sweetness than you would usually if you're sensitive to sugar like myself. The salt crema was salty and delicious to balance out the rest! Loved the real strawberry chunks in mine. Quick service and cute interior! Good quick lil date spot I'd say ;) didn't try any of the food but everything I saw people eating looked good! read more

First time stopping by here they seem very busy but customer service can be a a a lot nicer (more helpful). We needed help placing our order and it felt like the staff was irritated. We spent $50 on donuts, the least you can do is not make us feel like we're begging for free food. read more

The cheese corn dogs are absolutely phenomenal. And the rotating choice of mochinuts is never a disappointment. Weekends it gets VERY busy but I love popping in for a treat on the weekdays! read more

How I heard of this place: We drive by daily, attracted to the lemon-head logo, and after seven/eight months, decided to make a stop. Type of cuisine: "Happy Lemon Seattle uses premium tea leaves grown in Asia with locally sourced fresh fruits to deliver a range of yummy drinks. Every cup is freshly brewed and hand mixed with quality ingredients onsite. We differentiate ourselves with healthy ingredients, great tasting drinks, clean & cozy surroundings and fast friendly service." This location also serves Mochinut and Chung Chun Rice Dogs, which is what brought us in on this visit. Ambiance: Cute, spacious, and simple, with various options for seating - casual, living room style and elegant marble slab tables accompanying bench seating. Lines build as the minutes tick, yet ordering is quick and space is generous for those in line as well as those awaiting their orders. Modern styles, wall murals and many banners/signage help newbies, like us, to navigate the ordering process. What I ordered: On this visit, we selected the Strawberry, Churro, Yuzu Lemon and Ube Pebble Mochinuts, as well as one half-half Extra Crispy Ramen Rice Dog (with sugar topping), two half-half Crispy Potato, one Crushed (Cheeto) Cheddar Rice Dog and accompanying sauces: Garlic Parmesan, Honey Mustard, Sriracha Mayo, Sweet Chili. What I loved: The cheddar rice dog was the favorite in our small group, while the potato rice dog won for presentation. The mochinuts were all good, extra dense and doughy (due to the mochi), but the Yuzu Lemon offered us the novelty and uniqueness we were after. Why I loved it: It's simple, a taste of Korean street food in Seattle and a fun treat for adults and children alike. Cost: Average ($5.75 per rice dog) read more

I came to this place multiple times. I love the drinks choices and their bubble waffles. Mochinuts are not my favorite, it's too sweet for me. I tried different kinds of hotdogs also, but they're not really satisfied my pallete. People may have different opinion with me, but I always come back for their drinks & waffles. Service wise, I never feel any warmth service on this location. Just to communicate with them were super hard because of the machines loudness. No smile, no greeting, no thank you. I feel no connection. They look chaos behind the counter. I think the other 2 close locations, they are much friendlier. Ambience, just okay. I like their sitting setting before pandemic. Now it's very limited sitting. My opinion, this place just want you to buy and go. I would give 5 stars if customers can "feel" their care. Just a little bit extra miles. Make every visit memorable. read more

A tasty option for bubble tea with decently fast service and just adequate seating. What sets Happy Lemon apart is the diverse menu, which is perfect if you're a bubble tea fan looking to try something different. I went last time with the cold, fresh, sweet (but not sugary) ube milk, which comes with taro-flavored tapioca. It's a great introduction to ube if you haven't tried that before. I wish there were more of a flow around the handoff plane. The area where you'd nominally wait for your drink is actually squeezed between some of the tables and the ordering line, which makes it a claustrophobic and awkward place to wait. read more

Always busy, and always confusing. There are too many choices! I don't eat beef so my only option for filling is cheese. The crispy ramen is really good! I tried one of the flaming hot toppings but it wasn't very good - it was soggy and you couldn't taste much chip flavor. The teas are all good! Know what you want before you get to the counter - it's too hard to hear and too busy for the cashier to wait or explain in detail. Plenty of parking. Selfie insta frames and other fun places for teens (or adult narcissists) to take selfies. read more

This place is usually busy when we come (as are most of not all Happy Lemon's)! My go-to drink is the roasted milk tea 70% sugar and 50% ice - it's so good! The drinks take a bit to come out so be ready for that and also the parking lot is always packed since it's in the same plaza as Boiling Point which is always busy as well. This location is joint with mochi donuts so you can order and pick up all at once! read more

Very yummy corn dog! Love their great options to choose from and the sauce to go with it. Just pay a little extra for the sauce but you won't regret it. The corn dogs were cooked perfectly, not too dry, not too greasy! Their drink and mochi donuts were delicious also. My little one loves the food so much. I would love to go back again! There might be line during weekend and probably takes like 20 minute for your order but the food won't make you disappointed! read more

My kids love the Korean corn dogs here, the options almost seem endless for customizing. The boba is average, good but nothing spectacular to put it over the top. The staff is always friendly and the dining room is always clean and welcoming, they also have games you can checkout to play and cute photo ops. read more

Overall, I would say this Happy Lemon location is pretty decent, despite the mixed reviews. Pros: -Easy parking: Huge lot in front of the store -Spacious: Despite limited to no seating, there's plenty of space to stand and wait for your drinks/food -Options: Not only can you order drinks here, you can also get the yummy Mochinut, ChunChungs corn dogs and/or bubble waffles. For food, highly recommend the Mochinut that comes in various flavors or the bubble waffles. -Drinks: So far, huge fan of the fruit tea series, especially Strawberry Jasmine Green/Black Tea with crema and overall, quality has been pretty consistent. Cons: -ChunChungs Corn Dogs: After eating the original corn dogs at the ID location, the ones here are a bit meh. Tried a couple of different options and for some reason, the overall taste is slightly off and taste a bit stale. -Wait Time: Honestly, it's a hit or miss at this location. Sometimes, the line moves rather quickly + get drinks under 10minutes. Other times, it can take around 15-20 minutes to get drinks. So do try to have some patience if you want some tea :) In all - I am happy we have a Happy Lemon in the North end vs having to travel to the East side or to downtown Seattle. read more

love their mochi and great hot dogs defini reccomend would come again and again Especially for the mochi read more

Amazing staff and delicious food. Very kind and clean place I love coming here! Super cute aesthetic inside.

tl;dr - well made drinks, mochinuts (mochi donuts), long lines I have two favorite drinks here: A7 and F3. A7 is milk tea with boba, pudding, and lychee jelly. It tastes nice and creamy with a strong but not overpowering tea flavor. The boba had a good chewy consistency. F3 is a strawberry jasmine green tea with lychee jelly. You can also get it with black tea but I felt that the jasmine would complement the fruit better. It was very refreshing and had real strawberries. I also tried some mochi donuts and they were really good. They had a much chewier texture that your typical yeast donut and the glaze on them had great flavor but still allowed the taste of the donut through. All three flavors I had were delicious: marshmallow, mango, chai tea. My biggest issue was that the line was long and really slow compared to other happy lemons. I'm not sure if this was due to the fact that they have mochinuts and Chung Chun corn dogs, but the cashier kept leaving the register to do things. One other issue was the seating was very limited despite the space being so large. Parking was easy because the lot is large and the were plenty of spaces. read more

I swung by here Saturday around 5:30-6 PM, and the line and wait took forever. But I really wanted to try this place because a friend spoke highly of it, so I waited. I think there might have been a few large orders in front of me. I ordered: - Strawberry mochi donut - bubble waffle with cookies n cream dipping sauce - strawberry shortcake smoothie with boba - $16 spent The donut they handed to me right away, I had to wait for the bubble waffle and drink. The donut and waffle with dipping sauce were delicious! The strawberry shortcake drink was just ok, not my fave. I would totally come back here for the snacks. As of right now, there is no sitting area at this place still cuz of COVID. So I ate my snack in my car. read more

I had been casing out the former Blackball site at 220th/Hwy 99 in Edmonds since the holidays. There's a strip mall area with Ezell's, Woods Coffee, Boiling Point, and Dong Ting Chun. Now Happy Lemon and Mochinut join these food/beverage businesses located at this busy intersection. I originally saw the 'coming soon' signage while at Woods Coffee. I have never been to any of the other locations of Happy Lemon (Bellevue, Issaquah, Seattle/South Lake Union, and Tukwila) or Mochinut, so I'm absolutely clueless. However, I know northenders have been anticipating this site and posted, but my original content was removed by Yelp HQ. Btw a future Seattle/University Village location is also forthcoming per the Happy Lemon website. Just saying. I was winding down to have an early night due to my work schedule tomorrow. But started seeing activity on the Yelp feed. So ditched the pjs, got clothes on and drove in the gusty squall up to Edmonds. Found a nearby parking spot and queued up 45 minutes before the 9pm closing time. Waited in a somewhat chaotic, quasi socially distanced line. You could see the counter and kitchen crew were slammed. Thankfully the guy at the register was all grace under pressure...he alone earns his own star. Ordered a Classic and a Jasmine fresh milk teas, both standard ice and sweetness levels, no boba. If there's a next time, definitely will dial down the sweetness. Ordered a chocolate bubble waffle, which got destroyed in transit. Probably better slathered in Nutella. I liked the yellow lemon shaped bag...like toddlers liking the box and ignoring the toy. Bought 4 Mochinut doughnuts: Matcha, Churro, Raspberry Funnel Cake, and Strawberry. I only have Raised Doughnuts for comparison. I have yet to try Dochi. I consumed my fair share of mochi and bibingka, so I understand the desired texture and flavor profile. Also mark your calendars, because next weekend will be the official Grand Opening (Feb 27-28). So if you plan to attend, remember to plan accordingly, pack your patience, wear a mask, and socially distance in line. Three stars for this overall initial experience at Happy Lemon and Mochinut. One star added for the guy covering the register stand. read more

Pretty fun place! There are so many options, and I really enjoyed the hot dogs Bubble waffle was good and so was the boba. I recommend the taro boba. I've never had it before and it was nice and chewy. There's a cute photo area. Although the place is nice and spacious, I would recommend more structure when waiting for the food and drinks. Some were standing 6 feet away, but then it got crowded fast. I went around 2pm. Also, when exiting it's pretty crowded to get out and feels like there's barely room. read more

First of all: COVID Related. 1. Not sanitizing where customers and the workers are exchanging items 2. Hand sanitizer available at the ordering counter 3. Majority of staff wears a glove 4. All staff wearing masks 5. Social distancing encouraged via door and floor signs Ordered: Grapefruit green tea 2 Lemon black tea with bubble Lemon green tea 1/2 dozen mochi donuts 2 bubble waffles & oreo cream Total came out to about $55. So fyi, this place ain't cheap. Them again, I'd pay any place for a good tapioca. Especially in this pandemic. Suggestions: the bubble waffles batter can be tweaked so the waffles are more moist and chewy inside. The mochi donuts all taste the same, I'm not sure why the injeolmi, matcha green tea and oreo tastes the same, but they can use a little more work. Loved: Keep doing what you're doing with these amazing tapioca bubbles. My goodness I was sad I only ordered 1. Your strongest is the drinks. Please don't lose that! I'm glad I dropped by during my visit to Seattle, thank you for the lovely experience. read more

I'm disappointed Black ball closed but glad Happy Lemon × Mochinut took over! We came during soft opening and also couple times after. One thing I do not like is how SLOW service is! Takes forever to get our drinks and food, mochi donuts are the fastest. Their donuts are soft, chewy, slightly crispy delicate little mochi donut! Love that it's not too sweet! Oreo/cookie and cream donut was my favorite flavor, my kids loved the strawberry flavor too. We didn't get to try their specialty hot dogs, although a friend tried it and said it wasn't anything too special. I got there 30 minutes before opening but still had to wait for an hour total. And a couple times after, it was about 30 minutes, but so long for just Bubble Tea! My go to favorite is their #A7: Milk Tea w/ Boba, Pudding & Lychee Jelly, half the sweet. read more

Pretty good! Only had 6 flavors of mochi donuts to choose from. Lots of drink options and different corn dogs to pick! Corn dogs come with one sauce and each additional sauce is 1.00 extra which is a rip off!!!! I got chipotle sauce which was more like bbq. Busy location and only two registers. One is an order yourself cash only and the other register is operated by a worker. The area for order and pick up is extremely small and tight knit.

Came during soft opening, so I hope this review gets updated in the next few months with an improvement in rating. This review is strictly for people who know what to expect of Happy Lemon. Scroll to the bottom if you're new. Expect a long line, especially since they're also selling mochi donuts and hot dogs. We got our usual drinks, the B4 which is strawberry black tea with salt cheese foam. It's usually a blended drink, but they made it like a strawberry tea. Would avoid ordering this until they are more experienced. Was pretty rough drinking it. And I got the milk tea with taro balls. Tasted kinda chalky and the taro balls were soft without any chew. Would probably avoid the taro balls for now as well. Milk tea was just ok but not up to par with other happy lemons like Bellevue or Issaquah. Mochi donuts were good, softer than my one time experience with Dochi in Seattle. In terms of the texture of the donut, I liked it! Flavor wise, the cookies and cream dochi was way too sweet for me. Remaining flavors were not sweet, or if you have an Asian palate, just sweet enough. The matcha is very faint, almost non-existent. Strawberry is pretty subtle, churro just tasted like basic brown sugar and cinnamon. Definitely recommend trying to get it while it's fresh since it gets less chewy and more firm the longer you wait. The hot dog was good! Reminds me of aching Chung rice dog. We shared the half and half. Super stringy mozzarella which I like, and a in memorable hot dog. Not much to say, cheese, carbs, and a hot dog. Maybe a step down from Chung Chung rice dog. I'm surprised there wasn't any advertisements of the soft opening, just their store sign as if they were here the whole time. FYI, this replaced Blackball. Grand opening is this upcoming weekend of writing this review and they'll have a deal for the mochi donuts. For half dozen mochinuts it's $16, a dozen is $30. For the newbies, it's worth driving to Bellevue or somewhere else to try Happy Lemon. I'm sure once this place gets settled, they will be up to standard. But then again, can't get better without practice so feel free to support this business that opened for the community during COVID.Enjoy! read more
