I arrived about an hour before closing and ordered the Salted Cheese Black Tea along with a waffle. When I got home and took a sip, the cheese foam tasted spoiled, which made the entire drink undrinkable. The waffle was soggy and lacked the crisp texture I would expect from a freshly made waffle. It was a long drive for me, and by the time I realized the issue and could have driven back, the store would have already been closed. The experience has left me concerned about the store's food handling and quality control. The cheese foam tasted old, and both items fell well below expectations. I do not plan on returning. read more

Cute spot for some boba. Its open space with bright lighting. Table and high bar table seating. They have a variety of drinks from original milk teas, smoothies and juices. We ordered the Matcha with Rock Salt & Cheese, the Black Milk Tea w/ Puff Cream and Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea w/ Boba. I didn't change the sugar level or anything, just left it regular to see how the taste are. All the drinks were pretty tasty ans slightly on the sweeter side for me so next time I'll definitely adjust the sugar level. Otherwise no complaints! read more

Happy Lemon - Bubble Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

This is hands down my favorite boba spot in Elk Grove nothing else compares. Their Oreo milk tea with boba is incredible and has become my go to order. The boba is always perfectly soft and chewy, never overcooked or hard, which I really appreciate. The shop is consistently clean, the service is fast, and the staff is always welcoming and kind. I also had the chance to work with Gregory, the manager, when I placed a catering order for a party, and he made the entire process seamless. The price for 2 gallons and boba was reasonable. He was professional, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The drinks were a huge hit with our guests, it was absolutely worth it. I'll continue supporting this business and will definitely be coming back for both regular visits and future events. Huge thank you to Gregory and the team for always delivering a great experience! read more

Happy Lemon - 1 Gallon of Milk Tea & 1 Gallon of Thai Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Their Oreo milk tea is amazing! It is a bit sweet so recommend getting 50-70% sugar if you don't like too much sweetness. We also tried their original milk tea and that was pretty good as well. read more

I used to be a regular when I lived close by. Still frequent the shopping center and was craving a boba so I made a stop here. There wasn't much people inside but the employees were slammed making DoorDash orders. The inside is average ambiance nothing worth to note. I got my order taken and it came out fairly quick. I got my usual milk tea with salted cheese and boba. I was a little shocked that the drink is now $9. That seems a little excessive for boba. I think I'll rather try other places next time. read more

I've been to Happy Lemon Several times and love this place, My favorite drink here is the Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea sub boba, with Oreo half sweetness light ice The drink tastes amazing! Perfect amount of sweetness. The only thing that could improve is the customer service. They gave me a tied bag with drinks but no straws. Good thing I check and grab some. Overall would recommend but just check the bag for straws! The drinks came out fast as well! read more

Happy Lemon - Menu (March) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Worst service ever we came in order 4 drink mango smoothie, Thai tea, strawberry shortcake, Matcha latte with boba...she changed us we waited for the drinks and handed us only 3 drinks not the Matcha latte ..and said we only order 3 ..I was confused I just placed the order for the Matcha drink ..then she proceeded to help the next person in line instead of correcting our order and making us the Matcha drink..the girl behind the counter was really rude and irresponsible..she could have said sorry I accidentally put in the order for 3 drinks, let me correct the order and charge you for your 4th drink Nop..no apologies or even any help correcting the mistake she made ..instead she just ignored me and my family and started taking orders from other people...I will not be coming back here there are a lot of other places with good customer service that will be happy to get my business. read more

Happy Lemon - D1. Boba Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I've been to many Happy Lemon locations in California, but this one compares well with the others. There is plenty of parking available and the interior is well-lit, smartly decorated, and staffed by friendly employees. I haven't had a chance to write a review for this location as I've been here more than a handful of times, but now, I had to get off my butt and give kudos, because this place deserves a mention. If you like salted cheese on top of your drinks, then you are at the right place. I've done the Oreo Milk Tea, Classic Milk Tea, Brown Sugar Boba Fresh Milk Tea, Mango Orange Milk Tea with Crystal Boba, Strawberry Milk Shake, Mango Boba Green Tea with Mango Boba, and my all time favorite Oreo Milkshake with Tiramisu Salted Cheese. As a chocolate fanatic, I can't seem to shy away from this particular drink. The pricing here is reasonable and the quality is great. I have no complaints about this place and whenever I visit Elk Grove, I have to stop by here also. read more

Fast tasty teas. Lovely atmosphere friendly staff. The place is clean and fast service

Ordered the coconut beet green milk tea. The cashier provided great customer service, even though they didn't tried the drink they still answered to their bed ability. The drink is well flavored beet and the bobas are soft. read more

I am a classic kind of girl, so I ordered the milk tea with boba. The flavor was fine and they ask what level of sweetness you'd like. I'm open to trying other drinks from here next time but I'm not sure if I like it so much to drive the 10min to grab a drink from here. When I have the opportunity to update my review I definitely will! read more

I ordered the Okinawa roasted milk tea with boba and original egg puff through the app ahead. I had the drink with no ice, but they gave me ice. It makes the drink quite cold. I hope the next time, they can make sure to make the drink per my request. The shop is big and has many seats. The Plaza has plenty of parking. read more

3.5/5 This location does buy 2 get 1 free on Wednesdays, which is usually when I'll come to grab some drinks. Food: I get the A1 with 75 sweet and boba, A2 with 75 sweet and boba, & the okinawa milk tea. All are very good, but I noticed the sweetness leveled is pretty inconsistent every time I go. The boba also used to be the perfect consistency (chewy, not too soft or hard) but as of recently, the texture has been inconsistent as well. Service: service is efficient & we get out drinks in 5 minutes or less Ambiance: there's plenty of seating inside & plenty of parking outside. I'd only come for the deal, but not sure I'd come on a normal day for these drinks as I think other places have better drinks & boba. read more

Ok so my husband and I went to a bunch of places today and he really wanted me to write a review for Happy Lemon. It's AMAZING! My husband got the Oreo Milk Tea and I had gotten a sip. We will definitely be coming back! I asked my girl friend for some actual good boba recommendations because the one we had previous was not satisfying and she really hooked us up with this place! Thank you to the sweet girl with the pony tail for helping us. read more

3.5 stars. Super fast at making drinks, but menu prices displayed on tv screens are wrong. It's $0.25 more than shown. Prices in app appear accurate, though. read more

Place was okay- think my drink wasn't a popular one though the person ringing me up tried to warn me that the taro milkshake was not going to be that sweet. But really, it was flavorless took my mom here, and even she said so on her own. Giving it 3 stars bc other drinks are likely better; have had the Happy lemon in south Sf before. Service was just alright- nothing super warm, nothing offbeat. Pretty good foot traffic for a Christmas Eve afternoon-- about 3-4 tables sitting and 10-15 groups came in the hour we were there. read more

I came here around 8pm and it wasn't busy at all! I ordered an avocado matcha smoothie with boba and it was pretty good! I thought the balance between the avocado and matcha worked well and it was the perfect sweetness! This wasn't on the menu in the store btw but you are still able to order it! Not pictured but I also ordered bubble waffle with oreo dip on the side and it was so good! I would definitely come back whenever i'm craving it bc the dip was delicious :) read more

Happy lemon is my favorite spot to go to. The drinks are so flavorful. I always try new drinks to go with and they're all so far from bad. Mangoes drinks there are the best in my opinion. The service really is fast and calm. The nice ambiance is exotic and full of existential beauty it really matches happy lemon. This is my favorite spot. It brings the happy in my drink. read more

ya so i got d6 which was like some ube thing ngl i forgot the name. but hey honestly it was a lot better than i expected it to be. i really liked the sweet and somewhat salty combination it had going on. it really worked well. the boba was lowkey stale as a bih tho. i mean i came at like 11pm or sum like that but still... it wasn't like a chew but a stale yk what i mean. but flavor of the drink was actually really good. place lowkey dirty af but all good ig. nice employees too read more

Nice drinks location Clean interior, fast service. Reasonable price, though a little on the high side. Good quality drinks Overall pretty much the same as most other Happy Lemon locations. Not bad! Will go again read more

Great service and excellent quality! We love the Mango Match with mango , salted cream cheese is one of our favorites. We love the Buy 2 Get Free deal. Thanks! read more

The store was very spacious and clean. The menu had a lot of great options, so it was a little overwhelming at first but looked good overall. We had the mango matcha smoothie and the oreo tiramisu milk tea. The mango matcha was pretty good, although the matcha flavor could be stronger. But it was blended well and smooth, great for a hot day. The oreo tiramisu milk tea was amazing! My bf drank it super quick and thought it was great. The boba of this place was alright. It wasn't very sweet or chewy, which I guess makes sense when you have an already sweet drink. read more

It's such an easy and convenient little shop to stop by and there's never too many people so it can be a quick run for sure! Honestly my go to and almost the only thing I ever get here is their mango matcha. It's a slushee that has real mango pieces and the combination just works together really well! They do have their own reward card so don't forget to ask them for one and bring yours to accumulate points for a free drink! There is also plenty of parking right outside as it's in a shopping center area- so I love to stop by when I'm running errands and just want a pick me up! As an added bonus, If you go on Wednesdays, they do a buy 2 get 1 free deal on any of their drinks! Their service is always friendly and pretty fast and again, I love their mango matcha drink! read more

I've never written a review before but the customer service was so awful! Went in today with my family and the girl that was taking our order was so rude. She was Asian with tattoos on her arm, had on lashes, and a nose ring piercing. Whenever we asked her questions about the drinks she gave us a short response back and wasn't helpful. She kept rolling her eyes at us and sighing. read more

I'm definitely coming back. I was in and out within minutes, service was kind, friendly, and prompt, there were many varieties and options as well as adjustments available, which more importantly were mentioned by the employees, you have no excuses to say anything else otherwise. In regards to the quality of the drinks, one of my top favorites of all time are the Okinawa milk tea with boba, but I always replace the boba with egg pudding and go less on the ice. The egg pudding was exceptional...exceptionally fresh. The sweetness wasn't all over the place, but gave me the right amount of happiness which was enough cherries on top to make this whole experience worthwhile. read more

Happy Lemon - Bubble Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Only come for the drinks at this location, have been to the Bruceville/EG Blvd Happy Lemon once after Oz KBBQ but Sheldon is more convenient to get to (not as far south). My favorite is the Okinawa fresh milk with boba (brown sugar), while my mom usually gets the Milk Tea with Salted Cheese and boba (hot or cold). Parking can be a challenge right in front since the aisles are tight, maybe try the 2nd row away from the building. Always have prompt service here and never have to wait long for drinks. They do have summer/seasonal special drinks such as dragonfruit, ube, and graham flavors. Haven't tried the waffles although I am intrigued by the flavor options. Variations on their salted cheese such as Tiramisu also sound good, maybe next time! read more

Happy Lemon is one of the boba shops that I frequent in the Bay Area because I love the Puff Cream Milk Tea. Unfortunately, the drink at this location is a bit lackluster. The puff cream wasn't as flavorful or abundant as I would expect. I'm used to getting chucks of the puff cream while drinking (which I really enjoy), but when drinking the one from this shop, it just tasted like a standard black milk tea. Additionally, I think the drinks are less sweet than other Happy Lemon locations at 100% sweetness. Regarding cost, it's slightly more expensive by ~$0.25 per drink. What I do love though is that you can use the same rewards card across all stores so you can collect points regardless of which location you visit. Some places like Sharetea use Fivestars and you collect rewards per store which I really don't like. I did notice that they have Buy 2 Get 1 Free on Wednesdays! The sign didn't say how long this promotion will last, but that's a great deal. I wish all locations were participating in this. read more

This is probably my favorite HL location in the greater Sacramento/EG area. The staff is friendly, drinks are consistent, and I can always get in and out pretty quickly. What more can I ask of my local boba chain? If you like to drink lemon tea, you must try the Freshly Squeezed Lemon Black Tea! My favorite go to. Eggs puffs are not too great, would skip. read more

Absolutely delicious drinks!! I wasn't expecting a big difference between this location and the one on Bruceville, but the quality of the drinks here are much better!! My sister and I came in late last week. The service wasn't as friendly as the Bruceville location, but I come for the drinks and leave. I tried the passion fruit green tea for the first time and it was delicious! You could taste the tea and there was a perfect amount of sweetness. My sister had their matcha mango and it was significantly better than the other location. The texture was much smoother and we didn't taste a grainy aftertaste. Their boba was also cooked perfectly, something that I haven't seen at the Bruceville store. I may have to start driving a little further to this location or stopping on my way home! read more

...If you're happy and you know it, then your face will really show it... We just met three happy employees at this location :) Part of a chain, this beverage shop also makes delicious desserts. Easy to find, next to 7-11, and lots of open parking in the shopping center. For covid reasons, they keep the door open so no one has to touch the handles. Signage is everywhere for proper health and safety. While they are not letting anyone sit inside, you may take your purchase and sit on a few tables outside. We had the fresh squeezed lemon with green tea. You can request a lower sugar level if you want. After your straw punctures the safety seal, you can smell that fresh citrus aroma of real lemons. Very refreshing, especially on a warm sunny day! The cheese milk green tea is Super good! They really perfected this balance of sweet and lightly salty :) excellent touch of matcha sprinkled on the top. To the employees working today, great job and thank you for your cheerful customer service. To the manager, you are lucky, you have happy employees making customers happy! read more

Happy Lemon - Kumquat lemon tea with lychee jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I have finally seen the light...salted cheese on my tea! Wait, don't run away gagging, it's truly one of those flavors that sounds bizarre, yet tastes so good. I had read about this franchise as it is very popular in the Bay area, so when this new location opened in Elk Grove, I was eager to try the drinks. The 1st time I went to Happy Lemon I was incredibly curious about this "salted cheese", and the new employees were kind enough to provide me with a sample taste. In truth is was odd at first- but after a few sips I was surprised at how different yet savory it was. The famous salted cheese is actually similar to a cream cheese-whipped cream. It is sweet and salty at the same time, and acts like a creamy element for your drink. Not ready to take the plunge on a full sized serving, I ordered my favorite Black Milk tea with extra boba. I am hapoy to report that Happy Lemon makes a strong black tea base, and the boba was perfectly chewy. The next time. I ordered my milk tea with the salted cheese. The soft whipped topping floats on the top of your drink, and they recommend you sip at a 45ﾟ angle: This way you get a little tea with the salted cheese. This is definitely not what you would imagine, think of it more like a soft Cheesecake-like topper. While adding the cheese makes your drink more expensive, I can honestly say it is worth the tasting experience. It is absolutely delicious and adds an entirely new taste profile to a milk tea. Note, the salted cheese is very rich, and if you mix it into your tea, it's similar to heavy cream or half and half. This is a decadent treat worth a try. read more
