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

I've been waiting for the day Happy Lemon came to the Edmonds area. It's conveniently located near a busy intersection. There's definitely a huge popularity surrounding the chain so expect longer than usual wait times. This Happy Lemon location is partnered with Mochinut, a local Mochi donut business which makes it tempting to load up on sweets. I had to try each of the donuts and by far, my favorite is the strawberry and cookies and cream donut. I love the consistency of mochi donuts which is a bit of a chewier texture than a regular donut. And of course, every time I'm at Happy Lemon, I have to order their famous bubble waffle. I like it original but there's also chocolate and you can do half-half as well. I also enjoy their drinks. They highly emphasize the freshness of their drinks. I recommend the avocado matcha smoothie which is pricy but worth it once in a while. You can't go wrong with their rock crema or milk tea drinks too. Only downside is the boba is never the right consistency--it's usually too hard and chewy. Despite some of their drinks and donuts being a premium price, I can still see myself a regular here. read more

Normally we go to the Lynnwood location but today we were near this one. What a difference! Both places are good but the guy behind the counter was so helpful with everything and so friendly and that alone makes this one edge the other location out for top spot. My strawberry green tea with lychee jelly and 30% sugar was amazing! We also got the half dozen mochinuts. We haven't had these before but the interesting flavors and super cute boxes won us over. I love that the flavors change so it will give us a chance to try others. We will definitely be back! read more

I've been to individual Mochi Nut and Happy Lemons, so I was interested in their collaboration. My friend and I each got a mochi nut, hotdog, and a drink. The service was relatively fast and friendly. Our hotdogs were so crispy and warm. The mochi nuts were room temp, so I am unsure if they are made fresh on site or not. Everything including the bathroom seemed clean as well. Great snack spot! read more

A one-stop place for some Happy Lemon bubble waffle & drinks, Mochinut and Chungchun Rice Dog! Yum! We stopped by here several times and they almost always have a long line. However during our latest visit, it seems that they've eliminated a human cashier altogether, so you're just lining up to place your order on the screen and pay in the attached card-reader. There were several staff working behind the counter since everything is made to order. They are quick to approach if you need to ask them something too. You get to customize your drinks for ice level and sugar level. For the rice dogs, you can also customize them whether they're coated in sugar or not and your choice of your dipping sauce, although to be honest, they're already really good as it is. We didn't have to wait that long for our order. They call out the order number in your receipt but there's also a screen displaying the current order that's ready to be picked up at the counter. The whole place smells so good from the waffle and mochinut, it definitely tickles your appetite. It's quite spacious inside, however lack of seatings. You bus your own table but most people just take their order to go instead of dining in. There's a spot with leafy background for Instragramming your food and drink. WiFi is free but you have to ask the staff for the wifi password. Plenty of parking. in the private lot but tends to get busy as it's shared with the restaurants next door. All and all, we always leave happy but just gotta pack a little extra patience waiting in the long line as people usually take their sweet time customizing their order, but I think the staff themselves do a great job in preparing the order very quickly once you've placed your order. Plus, can't beat 3 popular vendors at one stop, really. read more

There is always parking, service is quick and correct, and the food is aaaaamazing. The rice dogs and mochi donuts are delicious, such a treat to be able to get both in the same location along with a bubble tea. read more

In my opinion the best Happy Lemon around. Recommend all the drinks, waffles, donuts and corn dogs! It's a one stop shop, the wait time is average and it depends on what you get. Reminder if this is your first time, there are two touch screen computers to place the order. The staff prepares and focuses on your order. read more

We wanted some boba tea and found this cute spot!! It smelled heavenly with the baked treats and the staff were friendly and helpful. The prices were very reasonable too. The place seemed cleaned. My child ate a matcha/red bean wheel and liked it. Next time we will try the bubble waffle. The drinks were delicious, boba fresh. I will be back!! read more

I'm not savvy at ordering here but I've tried two milk teas..one with pudding and the brown sugar boba. Both were delicious. There is a sweet pancake made here with different filling but I was here for the drink. Will come again. Very fast service read more

Music too loud, can't hear the cashier. Lines are a bit confusing because there's a self serve screen to put your order in right next to the cash register. We got chided for standing on the wrong side of the divider (had just lined up where the line had formed) I feel like this could be an easy fix with a sign. only 1 receipt dispenser for both registers so that was also confusing. I got the milk tea with tiramisu cheese foam and the foam tasted like nothing. I've had this particular drink at other Happy Lemon locations and it definitely had a flavor at them. read more

My drink tasted the same as other happy lemon. Not sure what the negative reviews are about.

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

This place has amazing donuts and boba milk teas. I have tried it a couple times and loved everything. They have a great service and make everything fresh as well. The drink in the picture is taro milk tea with boba and salted cheese on top read more

Great spot for fruit teas and a nice aesthetic. New easy self-order tablets make ordering a lot faster and convenient. They also have food options like bubble waffles and mochinuts. I've been coming here for a few years and still enjoy it. There is indoor seating again following COVID, but it's a good place to just order and go. There's plenty of fruit tea/lemonade options. I usually get the mango lemonade or the yakult tea when it's available. They have tapioca, pudding, jelly and all sorts of toppings available as well. The bubble waffles are also great snacks to pair bubble tea with but they also have Korean style dogs and mochinuts. The line can get long during peak hours so there might be a wait to get your order depending when you go. The new self ordering tablets make it a lot faster to order however. Expect to spend about $6-8 for tea and $5 per snack. There's a nice fake vegetation wall art for cool photos. The staff are super nice here and I enjoy coming. Definitely recommend for some fruit teas when you are in the area! read more

Let me start by saying this: Arizona has okay boba tea. Some are really good, most are not. I wasn't sure what to expect when we came to Seattle to visit. I ordered the boba milk tea and was super happy that I could adjust the sweetness level! I can not stomach most places in AZ because they don't allow this. I ordered it at half sweetness, which ended up being perfect for my taste! The boba was perfectly cooked, too! My kiddos each got a bubble waffle, chocolate, and oreo cookie flavors. We had so much fun eating these, and this is their new favorite treat. We ordered the oreo dipping sauce, but the waffles are so good anyway, we ended up not really using it. read more

This was my second time coming back so I thought it deserved a review. It definitely deserves the 5 stars because the food is very delicious! My favorite was their Mochi donuts, so soft and fresh! There food isn't overly greasy -it's just the right amount of cheese! I also love the decor they have inside, it's very welcoming and bright! The workers are very friendly and they all look like they enjoy their job, which I like to see. I'm gonna have to try the bubble tea next time! read more

This is a cute lil spot! The decor and ambiance is awesome! I feel refreshed in the lobby and the staff was very polite. I went in not really knowing what to get and the workers are very helpful with recommendations. The last time I went in I got a chungchun sweet potato and I finally ordered the big mozzarella since I've had my eye on that for a while. The sweet potato was delicious and the massive mozzarella stick with sugar was a fantastic cap to my meal. I left this place very full and I'll be back in the near future. read more

Ordered delivery and had a mostly positive experience. Ordered a 6 pack of mochinut donuts, and while they are delicious overall, I didn't love the flavors. The banana and the coffee were both super overpowering and weren't enjoyable. Just be careful what you order because many of the flavors are intense and take away from it. I also ordered a potato hotdog and cheese hotdog. They were good, but very rich, probably wouldn't get them next time. I also ordered an avocado smoothie with boba, and that was delicious. I love that you can choose how much sweetness and what to put in it. Good experience overall. read more

So cute! Love this little place. I really loved that they carried just about every snack you would want. Korean hot dogs, mochi donuts, bubble waffles and tea with cheese cream. Everyone was friendly and I loved that one of the cashiers was very into character with their costume. Reminded me of being in an anime. We ordered a few of every snack they had. It was so good. Will definitely be returning. read more

Happy Lemon's a great place for boba, however this location is fairly new and still working on consistency. The other locations have raised my standard for Happy Lemon in general. I've been many times since they opened and there's always a long line for good reason. It's one of the better places around Edmonds/Lynnwood area for boba. Orders are sometimes incorrect though and the staff are already extremely busy dealing with the long line of customers that correcting an order might be inconvenient. In addition to that, wait times are often higher than you'd expect or like from a boba place. For a Happy Lemon, this place is rated lower than other Happy Lemons. For Edmonds/Lynnwood boba, this place is rated higher than surrounding locations. read more

I ordered the Matcha milk tea with 30% sweetness and it was really yummy! I'm not sure it was made with 30% sweetness, since it was still pretty sweet, but I thought it still had a really nice creamy matcha flavor. I also ordered one of the rice hot dogs and that was kind of disappointing. It was pretty bland and didn't have much going on, it's definitely not as good as Seoul Hotdog in my opinion. read more

Really great, fun place to be at. I love coming here for the fresh donuts and boba tea!

This Happy Lemon location partners with Mochinut donuts, and let me just say that the mochi donuts are so delicious. The lightness of the rice flour makes them so sweet and tasty, almost melting in your mouth. The flavors vary from day to day, and they often sell out. The bubble waffles are also a tasty sweet treat! As for savory, they have a variety of crunchy coatings for hot dogs or mozzarella cheese sticks. I wish they had a veggie dog, too--maybe someday. If you aren't already super familiar with milk teas, bubble teas, etc, I would suggest that you do a little online research first because the staff isn't going to help you. You order on a computer screen, and the staff are all busy preparing food and drinks. Pricey but fun, especially for kids who like to try new treats, and for grownups who want to expand their ideas about the possibilities for donuts. read more

Best boba in Seattle 100% me and my family come here at least a few times a month. They are always very professional and courteous to help with any issues that arise. read more

Their donuts were so good! I've never tried mochi donuts before so I can't really compare it to anything else. I also had the ramen half and half Korean hot dog & the hype is real on those ones! I am quite disappointed with the reviews that are putting down the workers and their pace. It's a hot new thing that's opened up, I think we need to be mindful that during pandemic we can only work as fast as we can while being cautious and clean. Not only that they are new workers so please give them some grace! They looked like high school/college students who probably just want to earn an honest dollar during this time. I suggest before coming here please have some patience as there is always a long line, but I'm sure it will go down in the next couple months. read more

This place is busy but it's newer so that's to be expected. I do think the location is small for how much they are producing. Anyways, the gal at the front desk was sweet and efficient. She made sure I double checked my screen so that my order was correct. You can tell the staff is working as hard as they can with how busy they are. I waited about 10 min for my drink and donuts, the donuts just came out of the oven so they said it would take a little bit to frost. My drink and donuts were delicious! Highly recommend trying this place out, it's great for a drink and snack. They also have Korean corn dogs here, I wasn't in the mood for it but I'll definitely try it next time. If you come, come with your patience. It will be worth it! read more

I love this happy lemon! I got the wintermelon lemonade. That day I was not in the mood for something too sour so when I expressed this to the staff not only were they willing to work with me but they literally made me one of the best bobas I have ever had! It was also a plus that they had some yummy donuts for sale! So I definitely will be back to try more of their food and boba! read more

Drink was not good. Matcha powder they put on top was chunky. The donuts though...pretty good. They are lighter than than dochi and I like that they have tropical flavors (less frills). First bite was a little oily but I think overall it's pretty solid. My partner prefers dochi because the texture of the dough is more mochi like. Limited selection of flavors which is a bummer but I liked everything we got. Flavors were fresh and not too heavy. read more

Finally a happy lemon and mochinut in shoreline edmonds area (north Seattle!). If you have not been to happy lemon you must try their taro balls with your drink! Don't know any other place that has taro balls ! The drinks could have more ice but when I went home the ice was almost all melted. 75% sweetness was perfect, anything more would be too sweet (just like any other place for me). The donuts were amazing, not many Mochi donut places in general so I'm thankful we have a spot next to my house. The funnel cake was good and surprisingly the least sweet! Strawberry and matcha was good as always. Service was super fast and I'd definitely come back! read more

Korean hot dogs, and bubble waffles. These are the must haves when you come here. First thing, the name Korean Hot Dog doesn't do it justice. Imagine a corn dog but crispier, with more flavor, and eating it while floating on a cloud of heaven and nirvana. There are several options to choose from. I went with the half cheese and half hot dog version. The first half is a thick and gooey mozzarella style center. The exterior seems to have two types of coasting. The first is a thin layer of batter then covered in a light panko style breading. The first bite was so crisp and light and then followed by an amazing stringy gooey goop of heaven. I wished the experience wouldn't end but then came the second half of the hot dog which had a standard hot dog in the core which offset the cheesy goodness I was consuming. Sooooo good!! Then I had a regular bubble waffle. Never had one before. I was so impressed with how crisp and light this tasted. There was a subtle sweetness that wasn't too overpowering. I ended up getting an Oreo cream dip with it and it was AMAZING. Coming back to try one of the other versions of hot dogs next time and will try a mochi donut next. Until next time... read more

I'm normally a Happy Lemon fanatic! I regularly go to the Bellevue Square store, and pre-covid I frequented multiple locations in Asia when traveling. The Bellevue location has room for improvement but definitely satisfies cravings. Maybe this Edmonds location needs some time to perfect their drink recipes and practice since they're new? I ordered the Ube Milk with Taro Ball, an Original Bubble Waffle, and 2 Mochinuts (Oreo and Strawberry). The generous two stars I've given reflect the Mochinuts, which are actually pretty tasty. They're chewy, and have just the right amount of sweetness. The Ube Milk and Bubble Waffle could only be described kindly as with little flavor, and harshly as horrendous. The Ube Milk is extremely watered down, with only mild Ube flavor. It was like I paid $6 for a cup of water, then they added a few drops of milk and sweetening to it. Not to mention they forgot to add the taro balls in it at first. The Ube Milk at Bellevue has a really vibrant purple color to it and a generous amount of puff cream. What I got at Edmonds was a diluted white/purple something with a hurried swipe of cream. Getting to the bubble waffle...They do have the crisp texture accurate, but I can make plain white toast at home better than this. There just wasn't enough egg flavor. I'm going to keep going to the Bellevue location. Hopefully in later months they will have improved their drink making and I will give them another try! The Mochinuts are definitely worth getting though for now. read more

I was so excited to hear that another bubble tea shop opened up in place of the Taiwanese shave ice spot (Black Ball) in Edmonds. It was nice to see they were busy (luckily after I ordered). There were cute photo IG-worthy backdrops on the walls for customers to promote and inform the masses on the "Gram". Along with bubble teas, "Mochinut"- sells chewy mochi donut hybrids, bubble honeycomb shaped waffles and Chung Chun Rice Dogs (Pocket-sized gourmet Korean corn dog specialist offering a variety of inventive toppings and variety of dipping sauces). I only saw 4, maybe 5 employees at 2:45-3pm on a weekday feverishly completing food delivery orders and in-store customers while the line continued to grow. It did take about 20-25 minutes for me to get my 2 drinks and 3 donuts. With that being said, the staff were really friendly and I'm sure tried their best to get them out as fast as they could. The drinks were good. The only suggestion I have is that I hope they're able to add plain grass jelly. The menu listed rainbow jelly (a slight fruity flavor) and lychee jelly. Both that my taste buds would not agree in my Tiger Sugar Fresh Milk. So I stuck with boba. read more

Mochi donuts = donut with a nice satisfying chew so you savor the deliciousness longer. Krispy Kreme donuts melt and disappear with a super soft fluffy bread center. Mochi donuts has all the pros of normal donuts but soft and chewy. Korean corn dogs with sugar = it's a churro man. It's a sweet churro dog with lots of crunch surface area and inside is pretty average tasting hot dog/cheese. The outside is super delicious, but that's the nature of a churro. read more

Picked up the worst bubble tea and the wrong order after I got home. Asked for %50 sugar mango green tea and received %0 sugar, a bitter drink with a strong urine smell. The hot classic milk tea was also bitter and watery sort of split milk. Had to toss the entire order due to health concerns and waste the $24 of my hard-earned money. I contacted customer service first and shared my experience but no one followed up with me. What a sad and broken customer service. If you care about your health, Happy Lemon is not the right place to order. Just saying! read more

Fave place of my goddaughter:) We really enjoy going to Happy Lemon. We always have fun and love all the yummy snacks. read more

Efficient service. Loud, really space. Good drinks and delicious snacks. Not really any customer service interaction. Customers order and pay on the screen. The room lacks sound proofing. The decibels are too high! Careful when there are multiple groups of 9-12 young adults. Mochinuts hit the spot. Great addition to the Happy Lemon tea! read more

Love coming here for bubble tea and Mochi donuts! Relatively quick service and drinks are consistent. Their tablet ordering machine doesn't always work which makes the wait a bit longer sometimes but it's one of the better bubble tea options in the area. read more

I love happy lemon / mochi nut / chung dog ! This place has everything, service is fast, food and drinks are good, great ambiance!!!!!

Ordered one of each. Totally understand the hype! These little Mochinuts (Japanese Mochi Donuts) are delicious! They have an exquisite crisp exterior and soft, chewy interior. Their flavors every 3 days. Its so tempting to order weekly just to see what new flavors they come up with. Perfect dessert made to share. read more

Happy Lemon - Edmonds - Mango (Left), Churro Caramel (Front), Cafe Mocha (Back), and Pistachio Cheesecake (Right) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

My boyfriend and I LOVE Happy Lemon and have been going to Seattle or Bellevue just to get their milk teas and bubble waffles. Come to find out there's one in Edmonds?! What!! Not sure how long this location has been open, but I'm so happy! Also love that it's right next to Dong Ting Chun and Boiling Point! This Happy Lemon is a bit different from other locations since they also offer Mochinuts (which I do enjoy but not many great flavor options) and Korean corn dogs. We got the wintermelon milk tea with boba (which was soft, chewy, and delicious!), the pistachio cheesecake mochinut (meh, sour in a fruity kinda way rather than a cream cheese kinda way), the caramel churro mochinut (better than meh but not as flavorful as I would have liked), and the corn dog with the ramen noodles on the outside (pretty good!). My friend got the volcano corn dog which was labeled as spicy but there should definitely be a more serious warning. It was VERY spicy (I tried it) and he loves eating spicy food. He had to tear the fried batter with the volcano sauce on it off because he could barely handle it. LOL, so be warned! Overall very happy with this place! read more
