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

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.

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.

H1. Original Bubble Waffle and Ube Matcha with Lychee Jelly
Crissey Y.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

A11. Ube Fresh Milk with Taro Ball (L)

This metal thing was inside my drink very bottom. I did not notice it until I finish my drink! I ordered thru DoorDash otherwise I would've complained in store. I'm very disappointed and disgusted knowing I drank a drink with that weird metal thing!

Mad M.

The staff are so friendly at this busy establishment! I've never heard of "Happy Lemon" until my teen introduced me! The restaurant was clean and when I advised them the bathrooms had graffiti and needed to be cleaned they took care of the issue immediately. Most importantly the staff knows the importance of proper hand washing and the food was great! A bit more spendy than I expected but still worth the trip and wait in line!

First visit!

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)

A11. Ube Fresh Milk with Taro Ball (L)
Dan D.

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.

At least it seemed that way since they still had a full tray at 4PM. While Seattle seems to be full of niche donut establishments with lines out the door, you'll catch me at The Factory.

In long My little coffee side trips in this neighborhood will continue for a while. I'm now regularly in Edmonds with just enough time to grab a cup. This is the first sit-down place I've hit. I had just enough time to get something to go. It's a modest older building a couple blocks away from the main drag, and in Edmonds, a couple blocks is all you need for serious peace and quiet. On a Monday afternoon, there wasn't even much vehicle traffic on the road outside, but the locals were out in force--couples, groups, everybody cheerful. All ages. There are maybe 20 seats in here, with that many more outside. First thing you see when you walk in is the little farmer's-market type merch display that some local independent coffee shops often seem to have. Stickers, mugs, hats. I am anti-clutter overall, but still a sucker for stickers and mugs, and almost bought some stuff here. The kids behind the counter are super nice, super upbeat without being overcaffeinated. Very warm and genuine. My sister and I took our time puzzling through exactly what we wanted and the dude was smiling the whole time, got the order down perfectly. Couple minutes later it was ready. The drip coffee was fantastic, really hit the spot for my sis. It was late in the day so I got a heavily modified cup of tea (bergamot with lavender, something else, and almond milk). I've never had tea any way but black, ever, and this was delicious. I've never had tea with a cute name, either--"Edmonds Fog"--but that just made it easier to order. We were out the door with that and a really tasty jam biscuit for under $15. When I have time to park and go in to order, this place will be tough to beat for sure.

I ordered my usual Mocha Breve, and the coffee was surprisingly good - great flavor and just the right temperature. But let's chat about the service... As some reviews suggested, the service was a major letdown! The front servers seemed more annoyed than a cat in a bath. I asked for a bagel on the side, and both servers were less than thrilled to help me or even mention that I had to toast it myself! Apparently, there's a DIY toasting station for your pastries. The kicker? I ended up tipping 15% even though I did pretty much all the work - toasting the bagel and spreading the cream cheese. Which btw the bread even toasted is hard as a rock! It's a local joint, and the lady next to me clearly a local , was practically tapping her foot, trying to rush me as I waited for the cashier to make sure she's ready to take my order. Would I recommend this place? You might have a different experience so go. Am I gonna do a drive to comeback probably not. Don't believe the hype.

Luckily when we arrived, there was more than plenty to choose from. The owner greeted us as we walked in and he was absolutely delightful. We were so indecisive as we haven't ever seen this many variety of doughnuts, there wasn't a regular doughnut flavor to be found! There were so many different flavor profiles with textures or without. The names were also so creative and charming. The owner was telling us about the chocolates that he sells to and let us sample an Ube white chocolate oreo and I couldn't give my boyfriend more than a quarter of a bite cause it was so yummy! Absolutely love the creativity and fusions of flavors the owner has, it's unique and one of a kind! He also has gluten free, vegan and sugar free doughnuts and chocolates and continuing to find more ways to cater to other dietary restrictions which is so considerate. He canm also make amazing drinks, hot and savory foods, and much more if you're not feeling doughnuts. Additionally, the store is dog friendly and he even has a few small boxes of themed dog doughnuts that are readily available. He even has a dog water for dogs to quench their thirst which is always appreciated. The owner saw our dogs and talked about them as well as his own dog who sounds so fun and sweet. The decor is very fun and charming as well! I love the Dragon Ball art of whom I assume is the owner or maybe Zuri? There is plenty of different Star Wars decor which I loved. There is even an arcade cabinet and a big TV to play different things for customers. I also love the blue that you see in the store, it fits the vibes of the store, products and owner. We had to sit down and try the doughnuts right there and then as I knew if we brought them into the car, our dogs would try to get a taste too. I got the Seahawks themed doughnut with pandan and blueberry which I have never tried those two together. My boyfriend got the expresso ring doughnut. The doughnuts were some of the best that we've ever had as the flavors come through, it was so soft and the perfect amount of sweetness where you won't have to worry about your blood sugar levels too much. Honestly, if we weren't going to an event and could eat more sweets, we were so tempted to buy more and just chat with the owner as you can tell he genuinely loves making all these amazing creations, wants to support the community, and is just a fun individual. If we were to ever move around here, we would definitely be regulars so if you live close by please stop by if you haven't yet.

I felt like I had to guzzle a gallon of water after eating a couple of bites. The cream itself is much less sweet than the icing and is smooth and custardy. Unfortunately it isn't centered at all in the donut, with one half entirely missing the cream pocket. The donut itself is a yeast donut, but I feel like the dough compresses quite a bit, making the donut very dense for a yeast donut. (3/5) Pink Rainbow ($2.95) - This one is a cake donut topped with a sweet, probably artificially flavored, icing. Maybe strawberry based on the color? It's hard to tell due to how cloyingly sweet is is, although it doesn't quite reach the levels of the Bavarian Cream. Since the bottom half is bare and unglazed, it tastes like fried dough, giving some respite from the sweetness. (3/5) The quality feels a bit higher than the typical classic donut shop that uses premix, but I guess I've outgrown these extremely saccharine sweet desserts. I much prefer the places that have a much more balanced sweetness.
