    First time at Happy Lemon. This is located at a busy plaza of Mission Square. Plenty of parking. We ordered the D11 Okinawa fresh milk with boba and D13 okinawa roasted tea with boba: its an ok but not my favorite, both taste the same in my opinion. Also had the regular waffle which is the best in this place and the calamari but so dry and feel like it needs a sauce. The place lacks customer service, staff are sitting on the side using laptop or phone and will not see customers that are ready to order. No option for paper receipt, tip is optional but will ask you upon ordering and paying your order. When your order is ready they will announce the name of the order, someone touched my order as we have the same order (no name no order number no receipt). Trash bin next to it is overflowing as well. I hate to give low stars but here it is.

    I've seen this Happy Lemon for some time now ever since I frequent the Osaka Marketplace for food. I guess I've always leaned on getting Gong Cha or Teaspoon which is in the same plaza but this day, I decided to go to Happy Lemon to try them out finally! L O C A T I O N As I mentioned, this is in the same plaza as Osaka Market and various other restaurants and shops. It gets really busy here and parking can be quite hard. I would try to avoid lunch time for sure and go on off peak times. Also be careful driving around the parking lot, I've gotten almost in a couple accidents as people pull out without looking or turn into roads...but then again that's any parking lot. I N S I D E It's not a huge place, but they do have a few tables and chairs if you're wanting to hang out there a little bit. It's decently clean. M E N U Very similar to any Happy Lemon location but they had lychee jello topping! YAY so of course I had to get that with my drink. I got a standard green milk tea with no sugar and no ice. ~ Green Milk Tea with Lychee Jello ~ The green milk tea was very bitter unfortunately which means it was oversteeped. I think some places unfortunately do this to accommodate for ice/watering down the drink. So adjust your sugar level here if you want that. The lychee jello standard and glad they have it as I do like a jello versus the jelly. S E R V I C E Service was good. It was during a non peak time and only 3 other people were ahead of me. I got my drinks in a fairly timely manner. O V E R A L L It was fine. Not great not superb, but the fact they have lychee jello is a plus for me. I would have to adjust my green milk tea sugar level here if I ever get that again. I would probably see how the other drinks are and adjust my rating over time, but as long as you know what you're getting into, Happy Lemon's a good option for your boba tea needs.

    Happy Lemon is located in a large shopping close to Osaka Marketplace. Nicely decorated like the other stores. A perfect day for their lemon slushy. It comes with lychee jelly. It was tart, refreshing, and cold! LOL.

    Waffle
    Ringo K.

    The Waffle is BACK and Better Than Ever! Wow--words can hardly describe how THRILLED I am that The Waffle is finally back after over a year! The wait was absolutely worth it. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with that familiar, cozy vibe I missed so much, but it somehow felt even better this time. The waffles? PERFECTION. Crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside, with flavors that just make you melt. It's like they leveled up the recipe while we were all waiting! And the drinks? Hands down, the BEST in the Bay Area. Every sip was like a little celebration, perfectly complementing each bite of waffle. I could go on and on, but you need to taste it yourself. The Waffle is officially back, and it's bringing its A-game. Do yourself a favor and run, don't walk, to experience this masterpiece for yourself!

    Hair in drink

    Do not go here I just got a drink and I was sipping it and a hair came through the straw into my mouth...disgusting and it's definitely not my hair...

    Mango matcha
    Mimi P.

    It's a classic bay area spot that has many different franchises around the world too! I really like their mango matcha drink because it's something I haven't had before and it's pretty good! Although, the drinks can vary and aren't consistent in terms of flavor. Sometimes the drink can be perfectly blended or they have added lots of mango bits. Overall, I would still get the mango matcha as it's a classic for me.

    This location should be called Pissy Lemon because this boy in the glasses is always pissed off. Super rude for no reason, constantly berates staff members, and treats customers like they are beneath him. Not only was he rude, he doesn't even do the bare minimum; he's constantly on the computer, the drinks he gave us were wrong, he didn't give us cup holders (we had to reach over the counter to grab it ourselves), and yells at staff members in front of customers. I understand that you make penny change at this part-time job but you don't have to treat everyone else like garbage just because your life is miserable. If you don't like your job, then quit and give it to someone else that wants to work there. Never going back to this location if this boy still works there.

    Chocolate smoothie with regular salted cheese on the left
    Sydney J.

    I went here on a Sunday evening when there was no line and ordered a chocolate smoothie with regular salted cheese; since I was trying to avoid caffeine that late in the day, I requested to have the regular salted cheese instead of tiramisu. It's quite sweet and a great choice for anyone who likes chocolate, milk/cream, and the salty tang of cheese and is trying to avoid caffeine. Service was quick and friendly.

    Rachel B.

    I had a great experience here! My friend wasn't settling for "typical" boba on this evening and since it was a new place, the decision was easy. I've actually steered clear of these establishments because they honestly just confuse me. I'm not sure why they're called Happy Lemon but they're known for cheese in their drinks, it perturbed me so I never entered. But just one recommendation anddd I'm easily swayed! The salty cheese is definitely different, and I didn't love it initially, but I kept wanting more. It cast a spell on me. I got a black milk tea with boba & salted cheese on top, it did not disappoint.

    Who doesnt love happpy lemon?! They r missing coffee jelly tho!! I have their rewards card not sure how it works but love wen i get enough points for a free drink! i always redeem for a large remember that! They were not super busy which i always appreciate! They take cc's another plus! and there were plenty of parking. always an additional plus for me!

We only knew what was on the menu when it was our turn to order at the self service kiosk. After we order our drinks, we then waited for twenty minutes. We walked over to the counter and to ask where our order is and they only made one out of the two drinks. The thing I'm most frustrated at is when we finally got our drinks they didn't apologize. There were two orders ahead of us, but that is no excuse to wait that long for two drinks. If you're looking for good service or something quick to pick up, this is not the place for you.
