Happy Lemon - Brown sugar and strawberry cheesecake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fresno, California

A popular boba chain that maintains consistency regardless of location. Happy Lemon in Fresno is located on Cedar Street, directly across from RN Market. A decent-sized space with plenty of seating for many parties. I've come here a few times and have always been served properly. The staff are nice, and the beverages are made quickly. My favorite is the green tea salted cheese foam, 50% sweet and ice. Just a great balance of tea with a little bitterness that pairs well with the sweet and savory cheese froth. Undoubtedly, the price has increased, but inflation is probably to blame. I advise utilizing their promotions and point system. For instance, I enjoy coming here to take advantage of their Thursday BOGO 50% offer. read more

3+ The drinks here are genuinely good. Their unique flavored teas are satisfying; however, the three-star rating comes down to efficiency. This is never a quick stop. The wait time is consistently long and often feels disproportionate to what you're ordering. It's a great treat when you have extra time, but the hassle makes it difficult to recommend for a regular craving. read more

Happy Lemon always does it for me! They are close by my house, the drinks are consistent and tasty (although they have gotten a little pricey nowadays), but I really like their loyalty program and BOGO 50% off on Thursdays. Not to mention it's a convenient spot to meet up with my friends after work or school. The place itself is always kept clean (I have sometimes come in after they mop the floor), and they have free Wi-Fi. I don't typically come to study however. The workers themselves are fast, nice, and they remember my order. Glad to be a regular! read more

Happy Lemon - E8. Passion Fruit Green Tea w/Lychee Jelly - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fresno, California

My first time stopping by this Happy Lemon was very pleasant! My family and I ordered 5 drinks, a bubble waffle, and fishballs. The drinks were made quickly and tasted absolutely delicious! They served those to us first and packed them nicely since we ordered to go. While we waited, they had some cute board and puzzle games you could play. Would definitely come back! read more

I've been coming back quite often over the past year. However, I've noticed that the quantity of food has gone down while the prices have gone up. This was honestly the smallest portion of popcorn chicken I've ever received, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the online ordering app is very convenient, and pickup was quick and effortless. The shop itself is still clean and spacious, with plenty of tables to sit and chat -- and it's often not too busy, which is nice. That said, since there's now another nearby spot that sells popcorn chicken, I'm planning to check that one out next time. read more

Yummy quick pick me up, I ordered a Matcha Tiramisu Salted Cheese drink and it was delicious. I recommend getting it blended to get the most out of the whole drink staying hydrated in this hot Fresno heat. Whoever made my drink did a nice job with layering the salted cheese on top to withstand a car drive while being delivered. The little lemon head stopper is so cute! read more

I just can't get enough of their green tea with salted cheese foam!!! It keeps me coming back! My son got a different drink this time. He tried the new anime one. I forgot what it's called but it has a blue whip cream top. Base was oolong tea and it came with boba and I think lychee. The whip cream was blue with Oreo crumbles. Got my bf the waffle bubble with cream puff dip... it's so good when it's fresh!!! The crispy edges are the best part! read more

My coworker introduced me to Happy Lemon, so I decided to stop by today and try a few of their drinks. We started with the Lemon Slushie--refreshing and perfect for this weather, though I do wish it was a little sweeter. Next was the Mango Sago with coconut milk, and wow... it was absolutely out of this world! Lastly, we tried the Vietnamese coffee with creamer, which my wife loved. On top of the tasty drinks, the customer service was excellent--super friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great first visit and definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking to try something different.

Happy Lemon is my favorite boba spot in the world I can't believe I've forgotten to review them this long!! I'm seriously addicted -- it's a problem. I have to stop myself because I could come here twice a day. I treat myself every few months so I don't go overboard haha. I loved them in the Bay area and was delighted to know there's one in Fresno close to me. Their tea and lemons are super fresh. The salted cheese is to die for!! Their chicken is new and so freakin good. My complaint: larger cup sizes!!! I swear I chug this stuff, I need an x-large stat read more

My absolute favorite boba spot in Fresno (and there's a lot in Fresno, so that's saying something!!!) They have so many options but the absolute GOAT drink here is easilyyyyy the D5: Boba Milk Tea with puff cream. Service is fairly efficient and they always play good music in there! They've always had bubble waffles, but as of late, they introduced popcorn chicken and fried tofu with your choice of seasoning!!! I tried out their fried tofu with spicy chili seasoning and it was bomb dot comb. I can only imagine how good the popcorn chicken must be! Easy 5/5. read more

Happy Lemon - Taro - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fresno, California

Plenty of parking, quick service, friendly and polite staff, clean store...and it smells like deliciously fried popcorn chicken in there :9. I'm visiting from out of town and I got the mango yakult smoothie. It's freaking delicious but I probably should have requested less sugar. It really hits the spot though. I came because it was close to where I was and yelp listed it as one $. Menu prices posted 5 months ago were a whole dollar less so this is definitely not cheaper than other tea places. Still worth going to. read more

I have come here 3 times. The one time I came my drink was really good. The other two times it was closed with a sign saying they will be closed for the day. It's like a random day. I don't know if this is normal for them to randomly close but definitely not worth it for me to come back if the hours are going to be inconsistent. read more

Happy Lemon is the top boba option in Fresno. Download the app for rewards - make sure to complete the process before purchase or it won't count. When you get a gift card, they give you 5% discount. Great deal especially if you get boba regularly. For the food: They have Buy One, Get One 50% Off Special on Thursdays. They will honor the discount if you call in the order. Add Chocolate Waffle for an afternoon snack. These are my top drink faves: - Matcha Latte with Salted Cheese - Fresh Dragon Fruit Lychee Juice w/Salted Cheese - Strawberry Shortcake read more

I stop here every time I go to the Asian store across the street. The drinks are always so refreshing. The boba is good, sweet, and chewy. I'm not a boba fan but I do enjoy the boba from here. I'm not the biggest fan of their slushy because I feel like the ice isnt crushed enough. Not smooth. I also feel like their lemonade is super tart and sweet at the same time? But I really like the pop corn chicken. They make it fresh. And it's always been good. I highly recommend. read more

Wait time is too long for drinks... their music is also quite loud. Their slushees are okay only. Sonics is smoother for a lemon slushee. The one here is very tart and the ice is not smooth it's more liquified. I tried the Yakut lemon pen and the Yakut flavor is lacking. Grapefruit lemon was not bad. I'm still eager to try their other drinks and snacks. Wish they opened earlier. read more

Too scared to recommend a boba place and made fun of for it? This is the place for you. I feel like it is really hard to find a really bad option here. The place has a good amount of tables and chairs for a decent party and the drinks always come out really face. Even more so, there's a lot of nice food places nearby if you want to grab some boba and chill in the parking lot. read more

[Review #742] 2023-028 Drinks Order: DRAGONFRUIT LEMON SLUSHY with LYCHEE JELLO, MANGO LEMON SLUSHY with LYCHEE JELLO, BOBA MILK TEA with EGG PUDDING, OKINAWA ROASTED MILK TEA with BOBA I was happy to discover Happy Lemon in the same plaza as our fav Bakery Delights 3 years ago. They're a franchise that was introduced to me at a YEE in the South Bay; it was a tasty intro of their Rainbow Roll Cake by their bakery counterpart: Sunmerry Bakery along with a small selection of their boba drinks. I like the Fresno menu better than the Gardena location, as I'm a huge fan of dragonfruit & they have several drink variations using this fruit base. My fav is their Dragonfruit Lemon Slushy with Lychee... what a cool & refreshing drink to counter central CA's hot, hot summers! If you haven't tried dragonfruit, it's like a blended kiwi & pear with the texture of kiwi. There's 3 variations: red skin/red flesh, red skin/white flesh, yellow skin/white flesh; the more commonly used in boba shops, bakeries, or restaurants are the red skin/red flesh dragonfruit & has a hint of berry taste. I like the yellow skin/white flesh dragonfruit because it's the most sweet & more flavorful than the other 2, but I have yet to see this in any boba shop. The same goes for the Mango Lemon Slushy except with the tropical flavor of mango. I also like their Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea; it's made with kokuto sugar that gives a rich, deep, malty, "roasted" caramel flavor instead of the brown sugar sweetness in typical milk teas; HL's version is decent enough. The Boba Milk Tea is your standard milk tea. I added egg pudding, which was alright; I was thinking it's like a tofu pudding (豆腐花) consistency & flavor -- it's not. The menu consist of 9 drink categories: salted cheese, milk tea, classic brewed tea, fruit tea, blended whole lemon, squeezed lemon, lemon slushy, fruit smoothie, & Yakult series with toppings at 75¢ or $1.00. If you're hungry for munchies, they also served bubble waffles (aka Hong Kong pancake 香港雞蛋仔) with dipping sauces for an extra buck. Service is between ok to great, pending on the bobarista, time of day, & number of customers; my orders have been consistently executed whether customized or without changes. Recommended: Lemon Slushy series (my fav: Dragonfruit Lemon Slushy with Lychee Jello; kids' fav: Mango Lemon Slushy with Lychee Jello), Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea with Boba, Boba Milk Tea with Egg Pudding. read more

We were around this area and used to go across the street to another boba place and they were in the midst of remodeling, so while googling nearby places I didn't even realize there was this one across the street. So we came here, they were pretty free when we arrived, we looked at the menu and I wasn't entirely sure what to get, I got the Mango Lemon Boba and my little got one with blueberries, and we were both happy, they did taste great. I wish it had more of the additional flavor than the lemonade flavor, like mine I didn't really taste the Mango that much and my little didn't have a super strong blueberry taste either. So I liked it, but I wish it was mixed up a little better to get all the flavors you ask for. read more

Happy Lemon is such a cute spot with a cozy East Asian boba vibe. The layout is inviting, with plenty of seating, making it a perfect place to relax with friends or get some work done. I absolutely love their popcorn chicken--it never disappoints! The green tea yakult is a personal favorite; it's so refreshing for yakult fans, with a lovely fragrance from the tea that pairs perfectly. We also tried the strawberry shortcake, which was deliciously sweet and hit the spot. The staff here are sweet, friendly, and patient, which makes the experience even better. read more

Happy Lemon has delicious drinks and now amazing popcorn chicken. I ordered the Green Tea with Mango bobo and it was delicious. On some drinks you customize the sweetness and size. My drink was not too sweet and the green tea was not overwhelmed by the mango syrup. The popcorn chicken was super delicious and very well seasoned. You can customize the flavor and the spice level which is very nice. The service is always great! read more

I've been coming here since they opened. Friendly customer service and very yummy drinks! Boba is always consistent. You must try !

I would give 5 stars but I get the same drink each visit, every time it's a hit or miss, I stopped driving across town to get my fav drink due to the inconsistency, how sad, the popcorn chicken is consistent so 3 stars is for that. To restaurant: have a ratio of ingredients and stick to it. read more

Happy Lemon - I love this place ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fresno, California

The shop is cute and clean. The service is generally quick. Though, they are pretty busy during happy hours and it might take a while to get your drinks. We have been ordering their Okinawa brown sugar boba milk and roasted tea with boba. Be aware that they seem to put cream in their Okinawa brown sugar boba milk drink. I thought it is going be all milk but saw they squeezed cream in it. The roasted tea is on the watery side, but it fixes my craving, so I can't complain. The boba is generally cooked well (a little chewy and not too soft... my preference). Though occasionally, I could tell the boba might be sitting there for some time. Overall, it is a decent place for boba drinks in Fresno. read more

For me, there is nothing quite like a refreshing iced lemon black tea to quench a thirst during the oppressive summer heat of the Central Valley. When temperatures reaches triple digits, I might even opt for a lemon slushy. Regardless of what I choose, the first and only stop for both will be Happy Lemon. A combination of top quality, naturally sweet black tea and fresh lemons make for the perfect lemon black tea. If you really like lemons, you can even get a whole freshly squeezed lemon with your iced black or green teas. For many, Happy Lemon is also widely known as the boba shop that introduced the salty cheese foam. No longer gimmicky, other boba shops are beginning to give you to option to top your lattes, smoothies and teas with it. Made with cream cheese, milk and whip cream, it gives you a little bit of sweetness and saltiness to your drink. Just remember that Happy Lemon started this trend. Really the only item I will order besides the lemon black or green teas is the Bubble Waffle. It has a nice subtle sweetness, is very chewy with crispy edges, and it smells and tastes great. Always freshly made to order and comes piping hot. Along with the Original, the Bubble Waffle comes in chocolate and matcha flavors. Located next to the Boston House of Pizza between Cedar and Herndon Avenues. You will be hard-pressed to find another boba shop that offers so many drink options with freshly squeezed lemons. Hence the name. read more

Consistency is key to all places. They always make our boba drink the same every time. I come here at least twice a week. The cheese foam over my roasted oolong is my favorite as well as my wife's. The service is fast and they are cordial to all the customers. If you're in a mood for something to eat, try the waffles and ask for the cheese foam to go with it. They now have popcorn chicken which I have been waiting for, you will not be disappointed in the different choices. With all the choice of boba places in the area, this one stands out. Do yourself a favor and give them a shot. read more

Sooo I've left a review before regarding one of the works using the same gloves to clean the counters, touch money, mop the floor, touch the doors and move the sign they had from inside to outside and I didn't think it could get worse but I went to happy lemon on Thursday and ordered a drink but when I got it there was something dark brown in my drink I got a mango lemon slushy so nothing brown should have been inside of it I immediately let the worker know and he just said oh sorry and took the brown thing and threw it away did not offer me another drink or a refund nothing I will not be going back again read more

During my time in Fresno, Happy Lemon quickly established itself as the most reliable good boba in the area. Having had Happy Lemon for years now throughout California, I can say that this Happy Lemon does seem not be as consistent as others I've had in the Bay Area or SoCal; most drinks (excluding the smoothies and brown sugar drinks) taste unsweetened if you order anything less than 100% sugar, and some menu items, such as anything with oolong tea seem to be missing from this location. As a heads up, the staff here understand "less sweet/ice" as 25%, not 75%. Service is quick and efficient as usual, and even when it's busy on Thursdays for the BOGO 50% deal, it's a quick trip. There's quite a bit of space with tables and chairs if you want to stay and study or hang out after grabbing your drinks. My go to drinks are the Mango Matcha, Lemon Yakult w/Aloe, Mango Green Tea w/Mango Boba, and Grapefruit Yakult. Most of the fruit drinks are good, with the milk tea based drinks being not as good, and I usually don't recommend getting the boba pearls because they aren't consistent and often undercooked. read more

The best. Happy Lemon originated in Taiwan, where tea culture is huge and where boba originated. If you want an authentic boba tea shop, look for Taiwanese origin. The flavors will be subtle, fresh, and not too sweet. Great little shop in town, right next to Bakery Delight! read more

I've been coming to Happy Lemon pretty consistently since they've opened up a few years back, the service is always friendly and they get your drinks out quite fast depending on how busy they are. The drinks are always good and I have yet to have a bad experience here (I highly doubt I ever will). The simplicity of the boba shop's interior design is very nice in my opinion. I enjoy it more than what most boba shops here in town tend to do. Also, if you have the chance I highly recommend trying their bubble waffles! It's soft and chewy on the inside but crispy on the outside (make sure to eat it right away or else the outside will get soft). read more

Good stuff! Love the salted cheese. Sounds weird? Try it. Got the chocolate drink. Next time I'll get black tea w/salted cheese.

Dang this place!! That puff cream has grown on me! I KNOW I KNOW, I said I didn't like it but when you take the boba out and replace it with egg pudding, it's FIRE! The customer service is really good too. There's one girl who works here, I think her name is May, and she always remembers our order! I'm a bit ashamed that I come here as often, but with the Tuesday B2G1, it's hard to pass up! My go-to is the D5 and if I'm really feeling it, I'll get extra puff cream. I like that the milk tea is consistent. They never deviate and I can always expect to get what I order. read more

There's not much options for me which is understandable since they're more of a happy "lemon" place aka fruity so I was limited on my coffee options. There was a chocolate smoothie and Oreo milk tea but I decided to try something new. Mines was (D11) Okinawa Sugar with Fresh Milk Boba! I've had Okinawa before without the brown sugar syrup and had the Brown sugar boba drink and both individually was okay so I decided to try it together! It was definitely worth trying out and satisfied my tastebuds very much! The wait time wasn't long and it was nice inside. Music choice was also good, we love Kpop over here *chefs kiss* but for being limited on my coffee tastes, I really enjoyed my drink! I'm glad I got to try this place out cause I've always been curious about it! read more
