    Klee tea-paccino
    Piko L.

    Genshin impact collab brought me back to try their drinks after three+ years of skipping them due to sour crema in their drinks, but the klee collab drink was made well, and a classic jasmine milk tea with boba was good too! Love how they decorated the space! Staff was fast and accommodating, had no problems with my order, and there were a few people in line but it wasn't too rowdy inside, even on the day of the collaboration release on a 7PM evening. Love their mall location so I am to go back to every happy lemon I've passed up over the years!

    My friend and I stopped by Happy Lemon on our way to a hike since we both didn't bring water with us. We both ordered a fruit tea since that would be our best option for the hot, hike we had ahead of us. It was a little busy while we were there, but we wanted to give it a shot and see if the staff had the capacity and willingness to refill our personal water bottles with water. To our surprise, they happily accepted once they weren't busy taking orders.

    I was so curious what the plus in the name was for only to discover that they just serve victrola coffee here. Still your standard. Happy lemon but they have a few coffee drinks as well. We didn't end up getting any coffee but they're boba drinks and puffles are just as good here as any other location we've been. Plenty of parking and a nice ambiance and some desk to get some work done if you need to

    B3 and A1. Classic Milk Tea (L)

    This remains my favorite bubble tea. I love the B3: milk tea with rock salt crema and tapioca. I get zero added sugar. I love how adaptable the drinks are. My husband gets a milk tea with tapioca and zero ice. The bubble waffles with rock salt crema are a tasty treat I get occasionally to share with my kids. I usually grab my drinks to go or do a DoorDash pick up or delivery. If you order in store they are often busy and you may have to wait a few minutes. Order ahead through DoorDash if you can. They do have their seating open again.

    waffle wrapper - so cute

    We stopped by here after shopping at Costco. It wasn't busy and got our order taken right away. There is a fireplace in the seating area. The day we stopped by it wasn't turned on. It's larger than the Happy Lemon in the mall. There is seating and tables to dine in. The bubble waffle tasted amazing. This time I got a mango smoothie which also was yummy. If in the area, this place is great for drinks or a tasty bubble waffle. You won't regret grabbing one.

    Fast and kind service and a very hip and modern ambiance in the place. Part of it is used as storage which hurts the ambiance a bit but gotta do what ya gotta do. It was never super busy with plenty of places to sit. Limited number of outlets so charge before you come do work here. Overall cute alternative to working in a Starbucks and the food and drinks aren't bad either!

    This business is cute and definitely has a lot of potential, but the drink was kind of disappointing. I've had better, but this wasn't a complete loss. The waffle was delish! We don't eat out much these days so this was our monthly treat. Service is good, but it's really loud in here. The music was so loud I couldn't really hear the employee while giving my order. Most concerning - fair food rating. I didn't see this until we left. They have a really poor food rating with the health department.

    It has to be this location ~ despite being a rare sunny spring day in the PNW, the inside was dull and lifeless. No seating allowed. No music. Quiet. Strange. Cute cup is all ~ standard sugar sweetened milk with good boba texture. Ube flavor was subtle as in too light. Tastes like regular milk. Taro Boba with no flavor but with good chew. Without any indoor/outdoor restaurant seating, you have to sip and chill in the car.

    Mid afternoon snack

    My coworkers asked me if I wanted to run out and get a beverage. I said, "BOBA!!", lol, so they were kind enough to come here. I am not an expert Boba orderer, but I do like it. I enjoy chewing my beverage. This place is apparently part of a larger chain for Boba, tea, and smoothie drinks. So many flavors and choices. You order at a kiosk and or the counter. Friendly service and a large clean location. Plenty of parking in this mini mall. I ended up with a hot tea with a sweet foam along with of course, boba. Dark small little gelatin textured chewy boba. The drink was yummy. Sweet cream topped my hot black tea beverage. Looking forward to exploring more beverages and become more proficient in my ordering skills. Happy Yelping.

    Ube Black Tea w/ Taro, Chocolate Bubble Waffle w/ no dipping sauce
    Vanessa L.

    I always hear the raves about Happy Lemon so i decided to try the one in Issaquah. I ordered the Ube Black Tea w/ Taro while my fiance ordered the chocolate waffle. He didnt want to order any dipping sauce as he believed it would be too sweet. Plus dipping sauce is an extra $1 - $1.50, depending on which sauce you want to order. The chocolate waffle was $5.25 and the boba was about $5.50. We liked the chocolate waffle. It was so sweet with a fluffy crunch bite but we regretted not getting any dipping sauce because it lacked that extra kick. I absolutely hated my boba drink. It is way paler than in the pictures, plus i did not taste the ube flavor. It was only infused in the bobas rather than throughout the drink. You could taste a bit of the tea but it felt more watered down. Maybe i shouldve had less ice added in but the first sips didnt taste right at all. Service was quick to serve and friendly. They were able to maintain the long line on a Saturday afternoon smoothly. There is no indoor dining at this establishment yet so its just a quick drop by and go or drop by and chill in your car.

    A11. Ube Fresh Milk with Taro Ball (L)
    Jay S.

    Bubble tea run at the office, order taro milk tea with boba. I forgot to tell them no sugar or 50% less. Boba was yummy. It tasted more of Milk tea than taro. I added ice, it helped.

    My husband and I are HUGE fans of Happy Lemon. We stopped by here after a quick hike at Coal Creek Trails. They're open fairly early compared to other Happy Lemon's, this one says it's a Happy Lemon Plus. We were the only customer's in there. We got our usual order (strawberry jasmine green tea with lychee jelly and a black tea with rock salt crema). This one let us get more then 2 egg waffles too! A lot of the other stores (Especially during busy hours) only allow you to get 2 egg waffles per order. This particular one also doesn't have the phone number rewards system though. Although we were the only one's in there and it was fairly early, they were still getting a good number of online orders and seemed to be constantly prepping orders. We got our orders very quickly and it was perfect. If you're ever in the vicinity of a freshly made egg waffle, you'll understand why you would want more then just 1. The store is nice, although they still don't have dine in available. The cashiers were friendly and quick.

    Mango Matcha Smoothie and boba milk tea
    Sarah C.

    I have been here multiple times now (bubble waffle and milk tea are weaknesses of mine!) Their classic black milk tea with boba and 70% sugar is usually my go-to drink and if I'm craving a bubble waffle, the original flavor is my favorite! I've tried the chocolate and matcha bubble waffle flavor but I feel like the chocolate is a little too creamy for me so original it is! My husband prefers fruity drinks so we've tried the matcha mango and passion fruit and they're both very tasty!

My personal favorites are the mighty'o donuts! And their vegan pies, brownies, and cookies. Staff are friendly. Market is easy to navigate and clean. My biggest complaint is the inconsistent offers of vegan pies. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. I was happy to see the vegan pumpkin and vegan fruit pies. But then I go to this location and nope!! It is easy to just make them dairy free and you do t have to add the vegan sticker. That's what Costco does now with their fruit pies!!! The other complaint is the deli switched to pre-packaged items only. Which probably makes a lot of sense with staffing issues and or peak rush hours. However, if that's the plan, at the very least please secure your containers. And even offer stickers or rubber bands for extra support. Why is this upsetting? I got home from my last haul and my curry tofu spilled out everywhere, landing on my rug & me, which stained it yellow so obviously very disappointing.

There are a handful of tables which is nice and plenty of parking in the shared lot. My friends frequent this place since it is in Issaquah and convenient.

The drinks are a little more classy than your average boba shop. I like that they offer seasonal flavors and on my last visit, I tried their sweet potato one that was their seasonal fall flavor and it was excellent. The drinks are maybe a little on the pricey side, but I enjoy the proper unique flavors and that their drinks are made well.

Located in a small business strip in Issaquah across from the Gilman Village, parking is easy to find in the lot, but it can be limited with the space and other businesses around. Inside, the shop is very cute, with pastel decore, velvet seats and tables, and plenty of places for photo ops. I ordered the ube matcha latte and the seasonal pandan donut, which were both good. I love ube, so was glad to know that they make their own ube flavoring here, which was the best part of the drink. I also liked the pandan donut, but it was very sweet and rich. The menu offers a lot to choose from, with different drinks and treats, including those you can see in the case, such as the ube cookie, ube basque cheesecake, etc. Glad to know Bobae has another spot on the Eastside, making it easy for me to get to.

Each of us ordered a slice of crepe cake, which felt like a perfect way to end the night. Out of the seven slices, my husband's slice was still frozen in the middle. I walked up to the counter where two young guys were working and politely asked if we could get a different slice, since everyone else was already seated and eating. Instead of acknowledging me, they immediately started speaking Chinese to each other without even a simple "one moment" or any indication they were discussing the issue, so I eventually just walked back to our table. About five minutes later, after they had apparently consulted with a woman in the back, one of the guys finally came over and told us they would not exchange the slice because my husband had already tried it. We were all just sitting there, honestly dumbfounded. A basic level of customer service would have been to apologize and swap one slice of cake, especially when you have a whole group there to celebrate. You didn't just refuse to replace a frozen slice of cake--you lost seven customers over the way you handled it. We will not be coming back.

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #95…read more I loved the Rabbit Rabbit Tea in LQA from my very first visit. It firmly sits at my #2 favorite boba shop out of the 91 places I've visited in and around Seattle. I found out that they had another location in Issaquah and I made it a point to visit after hiking in the area over the weekend. This particular location shares a storefront with a Taiwanese restaurant, One N Half Lab, which I will definitely have to try in the future. This means there's plenty of seating, making it a great place to relax while sipping on drinks. Ordering is simple on the kiosk right in front, and unlike many other boba shops in the area, employees are available for questions. Iron Buddha Thick Milk Tea, 50% Sugar, 30% Ice w/ Boba ($6.90) - We were told that the "thick milk tea" is much richer than the normal milk tea due to the addition of cheese foam in the drink. That's pretty accurate. This drink is extremely luscious and rich, but the problem with cheese foam is that it completely takes over the entire drink, making it taste like the stinky and salty cheese. That's why it's usually used as a topping rather than being mixed in from the start. The delicate Iron Buddha flavors are unfortunately completely obliterated here. Thirty percent ice isn't quite enough to completely cool down the drink, although it's almost there. Unlike the Rabbit Rabbit in Seattle, this location doesn't offer honey boba and instead only has either regular boba or brown sugar. For this drink we went with the regular, which is definitely on the softer end of things, with a soft velvety exterior but an interior that's nice to chew on. It's definitely from a long soak in a sugar solution, making the pearls quite sweet. It's not too soft to be unlikable. Milk Tea Rating: 3/5 Boba Rating: 3.5/5 Japanese Buckwheat Milk Tea, 25% Sugar, 30% Ice w/ Brown Sugar Boba ($6.45) - I usually love drinking true teas only (as opposed to tisanes), but i make an exception for buckwheat. The buckwheat tea that Rabbit Rabbit serves is exceptional. It's smooth, rich, nutty and toasty in flavor with the right thickness from the addition of creamer that doesn't overwhelm the flavor. I typically find that Rabbit Rabbit's brown sugar boba is sweeter than honey or regular boba, so I get the drink less sweet, in this case 25% sugar. It adds up to about the same sweetness level as 50% with the other boba types. The brown sugar boba is very soft, much more so than the normal boba with an exterior being almost too soft, approaching mushy, but somehow also has a bit of a grainy feel on the tongue. It doesn't feel great on the tongue but is fine to chew through. Milk Tea Rating: 5/5 Boba Rating: 3/5 Unfortunately I don't think this Rabbit Rabbit is nearly as good as the one in Queen Anne. It's still probably a good choice for Issaquah, and considering that they serve some really delicious looking Taiwanese food, I'd certainly return. Bathrooms - Single unisex room

Have tried their buckwheat tea, their strawberry buckwheat tea, and original milk tea on three seperate occasions, and it's delicious every time! The signature fruit tea is very generous with the fruit slices and you can buy it as a combo with food! The spicy noodles was cooked throughout and the beef was soft and moist. The braised pork over rice was a comforting flavor. cashier and server was the same person, and all the food + drink came out timey and hot! Went during an after school crowd so there were some people sitting in and standing in line at the self-order screens, but aside from the regular pop music playing from speakers overhead, the noise level is normal. I'm definitely coming back here to try other things on their menu when I'm craving a snack!
