    Definitely a lovely place for some delicious high quality boba. The energy inside was bright and welcoming, boba was delicious, I got the Mango Green Tea, light ice, 70% sugar, with tapioca pearls! Great atmosphere, and parking is down the street and turn right into a garage. Service was fast and easy and i'd recommend coming back!

    Excellent diligent workers

    The playlist was fire Genuinely played Cocteau Twins and Everything is Embarrassing amazing service from these ladies keep up the hard work

    Very clean! Has a few seats and bar stools for a few groups of friends. Highly recommend these specialized drinks that you should reduce the sugar to but otherwise very indulging! Mango Matcha Smoothie Ube Fresh Milk with Taro Ball

    Came here for a quick drink and snack! The staff was very friendly and polite. I ordered the hot winter melon lemonade which was surprisingly very good and Oreo bubble waffle. The waffle was a little dry but it was perfect with the salted cheese sauce that I ordered. The environment was small but cute. Most of the people came here for takeout. There was not much room for seating. If you asked for a restroom, you would be given a key to a restroom inside of the plaza which you would need to go out of the door for. Parking was easy as I parked in the gas staton lot next to it. There was also a sign of "free 2 hour parking behind the building".

    Brown Sugar Boba Tea and Bubble Waffle! So yummy and great service!

    2 years later and we still love it! This has become our family's favorite place for boba and bubble waffles!

    I went on a Wednesday afternoon and they weren't busy at all. The employees were super friendly. I checked in on yell and got a free Tiger Sugar fresh milk with boba. They're drinks are normally very sweet, I got about 50% sugar and it was good. Taste was decent, like normal bubble milk tea nothing special. Ambiance of the shop and aesthetics were nice. If you're looking to try something new, one of the employees said their most popular drink was the strawberry shortcake smoothie.

    Pretty, clean, and sparkling new happy lemon location! Went around almost-closing time so no crowd. Staff is smiley and friendly, and love the decor and photo area! It's street parking and right beside a gas station, so be mindful of pedestrians! Overall a very convenient grab-and-go milk tea stop if you're hit with cravings in the Kirkland area. Stop by and try anything fruity on their menu, you won't be disappointed!

    I was thrilled to know that Happy Lemon opened a new location in Kirkland. They are a minority, women- owned business and I am glad to support them. I stopped by this afternoon with my son to get some handcrafted bubble milk tea and made-to-order egg bubble waffle. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they are running a Yelp promotion where if you do a Yelp check in, you get a free small brown sugar boba tea with a purchase. Yay! We got the B2. Black Tea w/ Rock Salt Crema , H2. Chocolate Bubble Waffle and Tiger Fresh Milk w/ Boba ( free drink with Yelp check-in). We enjoyed both drinks as well as the Bubble Waffle. Tip: Remember to adjust the sugar and ice levels according to your preference.

    Happy Lemon is just a bubble tea shop, a lifestyle incorporating generations of tea culture. They freshly brew and hand-make every drink onsite, striving to serve high-premium quality and fresh teas to our customers worldwide. Recently Happy Lemon just opened up a new location in Kirkland, Washington! Food I Tried: - Milk Tea w/ Tiramisu Rock Salt Crema - Free Tiger Sugar Fresh Milk w/ Boba - Oreo Bubble Waffle My Review: This Happy Lemon is located right behind the Shell gas station in Kirkland, WA, and currently, it's a hidden gem! This place is unique because it's not as crowded as its sister store in Bellevue Square, which has waits of up to 30mins. When I walked into the store, there was no line, and I had my drink within 5mins of ordering. Same great flavor without the wait! P.S. Currently, they are doing a Yelp promotion where you get a Free Tiger Sugar drink with a "check-in" and a purchase.

    Great place, beautiful scenery and fast and efficient drink serving process. Although it was kind of busy they still made the drinks very fast and the workers are super friendly and nice.

    Highly recommend this boba place. They have a lot of options. I like my boba with red beans. Also I loved their waffles so soft

    Downtown Kirkland finally has Happy Lemon! Google employees get 10% off which is a nice perk, and they're currently running a Yelp promotion! The milk tea with sea salt is so good. Try the tapioca or lychee jelly toppings. If you don't like your drink too sweet, make sure to ask for 30/50% sugar. You can ask for less ice as well.

I used to work in a bubble tea store, I know how busy and fast paced there are. Only people who really care for their customers can pay attention to such small details like they do. Try their Vietnam Style sandwich with a cup of coffee. You won't regret it.

    The Ding Tea in Kirkland is paired up with 36 Streets for specialty coffee and waffles. I have…read morevisited twice now. Service is friendly taking my order (first time) but also can be distracted-hectic (second time). The interior is basic. I didn't stay. Both visits were to-go. Be aware that parts of this Juanita area, including the streets, are part of the development and is NOT regular city-parking. They are notorious for ferocious private parking meter-readers (not part of the city). Be sure to read the sign before leaving the vehicle. The Drinks and Food: Chocolate Oolong Milk Tea, $6.75(L) - 3.5 Stars The cashier said this is their most popular drinks. It still tasted quite sweet at 30% sweetness. Hubby said it tastes more like a chocolate milk. Ding it, he's right. (See what I did there.) Egg Coffee, $6.25 - 4 Stars Egg coffee is a northern Vietnamese specialty. Being in a paper cup takes away some of the charm, but such as is the U.S. lifestyle. It tasted as expected, a stronger, more roasted Viet coffee flavor. Mango Ice Tea, $6.75 - 3.5 Stars This is more of a mango drink with some tea taste - very fruity tea. Pandan Bubble Waffle, $7 - 4 Stars I came the second time mostly for this waffle. Served with whip cream and toasted coconut flake, the cashier looked at me like I grew an extra eye when I said whip cream only, no coconut. She literally didn't know how to respond to me. I am guessing they pre-pack the cream with the coconut already in it, and she didn't have time to pack another one. She handed us the bag with what we didn't want and left. I should lower the rating more, but I do like this waffle.

    We visited LizzyKate as we were interested in taking one of their tea classes. We had seen several…read morepop up in the past, but hadn't seen anything interesting in the past few months, so we dropped in to ask about them. Apparently rather than being prescheduled most of the time, they are held on demand. We asked for an Oolong tasting session and was able to get one penciled in a couple of weeks later. The store itself is appropriately decorated for a modern and trendy tea shop. There's a bit of an overpowering perfume that lingers throughout the store. It's not the best setting for a tea tasting, especially when trying to differentiate tasting notes when the olfactory glands are already completely saturated with perfume. LizzyKate has a decent selection of true tea, nothing super unique or rare, but I think they lean towards the more accessible blends and tisanes in the first place. Oolong Tasting Class ($35/per person) - Tasting sessions are held in the bar area, brewed mostly using gaiwan with carefully measured water temperature and volume. The class provides some educational material including laminated papers describing the tea production process, growing regions, anatomy, etc. More importantly, unlike some other tasting sessions I've attended, they actually provide pencil and paper, along with brewing instructions, to write down cupping and tasting notes. It certainly beats taking notes on my phone as I usually do. For this course, we tasted a white tea and four different oolongs. My personal tasting notes as follows (for future reference for myself): Bai Mu Dan - Mild, mellow, sweet and slightly astringent flavor with notes of honey and hay. Light golden liquid that's very easy to drink. Tie Guan Yin - Caramelized sweetness, vegetal leafy with a tiny earthy element. Darker golden color with more astringency and round lingering taste. The leaves smell smoky and roasted. Baihao - The smell is distinctively roasty and earthy, approaching the fermented smell of puerh. It has a brownish color and tastes smoky and earthy like peat. Formosa Oolong - It tastes of malt and molasses, with a certain oxidized toastiness. The color is more dark brown although it's not very astringent given the color. Osmanthus Oolong - This smells more malty and surprisingly not that flowery in aroma. The mouthfeel is extremely creamy and silky, almost like milk with the balanced taste of barley and hops with only a slight osmanthus flowery taste in the background. I think the base used is Jin Xuan given the milkiness. With the tasting also comes some treats including mini muffins and some tea infused bars from a chocolatier in Singapore, Fossa Chocolate. I think LizzyKate is more geared towards people who don't have much experience with tea and want a place that's extremely welcoming and modern. They have lattes and plenty of herbal and fruity infusions to help beginners ease into the complexities of tea, While this shop isn't for me, more tea shops are always welcome in the area. I'd definitely recommend it to my friends who want to dip their toes into the world of tea. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.

    This is a very accessible and friendly place if you're a tea beginner to expert levels. They sell…read moreteas and tea accessories, as well as loose leaf teas and ready to drink hot/cold teas, lattes, etc. I attended one of the tea classes and I think it was a good experience for beginners. We got to sample five teas and several pieces of chocolate, as well as snacks to clear the palate between teas. We learned about tea and how its harvested, as well as the processing of tea. We also learned about the tea flavor wheel and identified tea tasting notes in the sampled teas. I do wish there was more of a compare and contrast between the teas - it would have been cool to try the same teas but early vs late season, or tea processed similarly but from different regions. If you're new to tea though, the classes are perfect for you!

    Seattle-Area Boba Shop Review #126…read more I've visited Bobae a couple more times at this point and need to upgrade them to a 5 for consistency. From my most recent visit on a Tuesday afternoon: Iron Goddess Oolong Milk Tea, Bae Size, 50% Sweet w/ Boba ($8) - This is a really interesting drink that doesn't taste like any other Iron Goddess (Tieguanyin) that I've had before. Instead of a more oxidized, somewhat vegetal and earthy taste, this tea delivers the aroma of warm holiday spices like clove and nutmeg. At half sweet, it's still a bit too much for me (reminder for myself to get 25% next time), but it's not a harsh sweetness by any means. The boba is very good and have been consistently good in my prior visits (other than my first visit, which was an outlier!). The pearls are clearly sweetened in syrup and have a texture that compresses on the tongue, but remains really bouncy. It's one of the few places that allows me my favorite boba chewing technique - biting off six sides to create a boba center cube. Milk Tea Rating: 4.5/5 Boba Rating: 5/5 Surprisingly, Bobae has turned into one of my favorite boba shops in the Seattle metro. It was definitely unexpected from my first visit! Drinks: [4.75/5] Service: [ ] Other: [ ] Final Rating: 5/5

Nitro coffee is real though, since it makes the coffee smoother and frothy at the same time. SO, I was surprised to see that the top of this tea was actually a bit frothy with tiny bubbles! Interesting. Maybe the other locations aren't doing it properly? Anyway, this made the tea have a silkier mouthfeel, although I'm still not sure it does anything for the flavor of the tea as milk and sugar are already added, making the drink super smooth and creamy to begin with. The boba here is soft, bouncy and perfectly chewy. It's soaked in syrup, adding another dimension of flavor. I'll be coming back!
