    Price for two drinks
    Moji O.

    The cashier was very nice and friendly. He helped me right away. One of my drinks as little made in seconds. The second drink was a blended with lemon rinks, I think I've finally come to the conclusion that that's just not for me. The cashier was able to add sweetener to my drink which made it better but still very sour. I ordered lemon honey green tea and a classic milk tea. The music was playing which gave it good vibe.

    Employees don't look happy working at the location. Decided to try this location to see if it compares to other locations around the Bay Area. I wouldn't recommend coming here if you want anything matcha related. No size selection when choosing the drinks. Their matcha drink definitely tastes watered down. The waffle, I would say that it's a solid choice. If you do come here, I would recommend just sticking to the tea based drinks. Ambiance wise, maybe I just went when there were a lot of kids through the n word nonchalantly, they don't identify themselves as one, but definitely more for a place where high schoolers can hang out there.

    Came in on a weekday around late afternoon and wasn't busy! Menu is a single sheet that is on a table that's in the middle, as well as one by the counter where you pay. The worker was very kind when taking our order! Inside of the store is pretty neat. Enough 4 table seatings. After ordering, our drinks came out really fast! A total of 4 drinks were ordered... 1. Mango yakult smoothie: 9.5/10 - this was really good! Tasted kind of like a mangonada without the spices and chamoy. Don't know if I could really taste the yakult. Got this at 75% sweetness and it was perfect! Smoothie wasn't too thick, just right 2. Lemon yakult slushy: 7/10 - this comes with lychee jello, which was yum! The drink itself is really sour and lemon-y, the yakult was definitely overpowered by the lemon flavor. If you don't really like super sour drinks, wouldn't recommend this. My sister didn't enjoy but I thought it was good 3. Passion mango green tea: 4/10 - this tasted sort of artificial and perfume-y. The fruit flavors were lacking and the drink was bitter. The tea is definitely present, would prefer this to be sweeter 4. Strawberry shortcake smoothie: 5/10 - presentation of this drink was so cute but I didn't really enjoy it. I've had better strawberry shortcake drinks elsewhere. Wasn't too bad, but lighter in flavor than I prefer Overall, the drinks were alright. Drinks alone, I'd give it 3/5 stars. They could definitely be better, but the service inside was nice and really quick so 4/5 stars

    Came here for a refreshing drink after walking around the outlets. We got the Mango green tea with mango boba and mango yakult and both were good. Just wish you could customize more. Service was quick and plenty of seating. Would definitely come back.

    Original Bubble Waffle with puff cream. The puff cream tasted like sweetened butter...

    I know Happy Lemon is a chain / franchise... so I try to rate them all based on individual experiences. That being said, this location was a mess. (I visited a few weeks ago). Ironically enough, there were no customers inside when I went in, but I didn't let that deter me. However, the tables and floors were so messy! Almost as if a stampede of messy kiddos had just tore this place up. I brought my mom here for her first ever bubble waffle and it was kind of a let down to have her experience it in this messy environment. Not to mention that the staff working that night were not welcoming or friendly and seemed very irritated to be working at that moment--which is a bit of a bummer as well. (I do hope things got better for them that night, however!) All in all, the bubble waffle was served hot and was delicious. My mom was thrilled with this new culinary experience and I look forward to taking her back, perhaps to a different location. I'm still very much a Happy Lemon fan, but I'm not sure if I'll return to this location or not. Fingers crossed for timely improvement!

    yelp and google said its open but once i arrived on a Friday at 4:30pm the doors are LOCKED.. doordash and grubhub are still open and you can still buy.. waited for 15 mins it's still closed. if the workers are on break there should be a sign that says they are, otherwise this store needs to update all their hours if they are closed because this was a waste of time..

    Oreo and sky cream tea-puccino
    Alex Z.

    Love coming to happy lemon, one of my favorite boba places. I got their new 2025 drink Oreo and sky cream tea-Puccino. Ugh it was so good it came with boba and lychee jelly which I love lychee. I always love trying out their new flavors when ever they come out. There is one that I have not liked yet. Service is always great, staff is super friendly and welcoming.

    Chocolate smoothie with salted cheese
    Katelyn S.

    Happylemon is my absolute favorite boba tea spot ever! I love the gilroy location because the ambiance is so nice and the servers are really quick. Theres so many drinks to choose from, and their salted cheese is the best (don't knock it till you try it) I highly highly recommend going to happylemon if you're looking for delicious drinks :)

    Both were 100% sweetness level instead of 50% and 100%
    Jen D.

    I don't come here often so this is the first time I've seen tables and chairs being used. I'd say it's about time! We came from track meet and it was sooo hot (in the 80s) so we wanted a cold drink on the way home. We ordered through yelp as we didn't want to waste and more time and so we can be on our way but no, big mistake. This order took way longer than the ones placed at the store. This order took over half an hour and despite me telling the employee, upon arrival, and as I was ordering food, and then again when I picked up the food- about our order. Each time they acknowledged me and said it's coming. Empty response? Poor comprehension? Because despite the multiple notifications they still put the drinks in the fridge. Finally, I asked again (4th time!!!) and told them I think they put it in the fridge!!! And yes, they did! I saw them do it! I, however, had too much faith in them and thought it's not mine since I've already told them three times!! So we got our drinks and they missed the sweetness level in my order. It was too sweet that I had a headache afterwards. Hmm so for this I think I'll lower the rating to one star.

    Strawberry Shortcake

    Went in around mid day, service was good, drinks didn't take too long to be done, got the strawberry shortcake and it was yummy.

    A1. Green Tea with Salted Cheese
    Annette T.

    A1 Green Tea with Salted Cheese and boba. This is my go-to here at Happy Lemon after many years wondering why this place was so popular with others. Now, I know why. I'll come here every so often when I'm craving for a boba drink and I'm nearby shopping at Costco in Gilroy. This location is conveniently located in one of the Gilroy Outlet plazas and provides very quick service. I plan to come back here again and again when I'm in need of a boba fix.

The employee at the counter was very nice and welcoming, and I appreciated the friendly service so much that I left a tip. The inside had a cute setup and fun decor.

It was more on the sweeter side than savory, so it really depends on your preference. If you like savory chicken, it may not be your favorite. I got the Blue Galaxy drink, and I probably wouldn't order it again. It tasted more like grape, and I was expecting something closer to blue raspberry based on the name.

    745 1st St Gilroy, CA 95020…read more Yogofino Yogurt in Gilroy is like a one-stop shop for cool refreshment. It's more than just fro-yo. They have frozen yogurt, milk teas, ice cream, and seating inside and outside. I was here on a warm Tuesday afternoon around 5:30pm. I found Yogofino using the Yelp App as a search engine. The name caught my attention because it's very close to "Yogofina," a local fro-yo chain in the SF Eastbay. I don't think it's the same chain. Yogofino Yogurt has alot to offer, including a fair price for fro-yo! August 2025- Price Per Ounce: 79 cents. I've been to several Yogurtlands recently, and their prices are all in the 85-89 cent/oz range. Easy Breezy Yogurt is $1+/ oz now. So what about the frozen yogurt here? Well, they have seven (7) Electro Freeze machines that have no center twist (or swirl) valve. The area around the machines was very clean. The young lady working there was busy cleaning the whole time I was there. I tried: Mango, Pineapple, and Chocolate with some jelly toppings. They have large selection of wet, dry, and liquid toppings. Service was nice and friendly. The pineapple fro-yo had a good flavor. Not much icy bite, or chalkiness. The mango had a milk flavor. I especially liked the chocolate. It was super creamy, almost like a mild soft serve. No chalky after taste or icy bite. It was 85*F, so my fro-yo didn't stay frozen very long. But it did have a very refreshing chill. I would return if I'm in the area again. Free parking in shopping center lot. Near the Cardenas Market and Mountain Mikes Pizza.

My only frame of reference nowadays is seeing how much tea cost in Asia. And in Taiwan (the birthplace of boba) I got boba for $3 ;( *sigh oh well I live in one of the most expensive places in the country but also I cannot believe I let myself think this is okay. Anyway, it's a treat, not a habit I would give into everyday.
