    I love this place so much. I used to go to the bay for this then they opened the one in Stockton. Now they opened one here in Manteca and I'm the happiest! The difference between this location and other locations, the owner is very nice. She's very consistent on how she does the drink. I come here almost every week and order the same exact thing. The other staff is also nice. This location is always clean and quiet than the other ones. I'm very happy with their service. If you guys haven't tried their bubble waffle, this location also does it perfectly crispy! They take their time to make it. I hope this location stays forever!

    I've been going to Happy Lemon for years, and I'm so happy there's one in Manteca now! This is in a great location with Raising Cane's, Chick-fil-A, and other shops nearby. The interior is brightly lit, clean, and spacious. We placed our order on the tablet located on the counter. During checkout, I was able to scan my membership QR code to earn points. The whole process was simple and easy. I ordered the Boba Milk Tea with Puff Cream, one of my favorite drinks at Happy Lemon. I got 25% sugar, and it was perfect. It was exactly what I was expecting.

    The chocolate bubble waffle was scrumptious! As is the dragon fruit lemon slushy. I had gotten them when they first opened at 11a and when my kid got out of school, she was able to try the treats too and liked them. I had seen on yelps photo menu 5 months ago that the prices are a bit more now. The lady was kind enough to hear me out and show me that it has changed as well as answer my questions since it was my first time coming to a happy lemon. I've seen it everywhere and had never had a chance to stop by till now since it was close to my Quest appointment location. They are in a busy area so be careful with cars and pedestrians. Located near a McDonald's and wing stop which are very much known places people go. I do recommend this place as a special treat. It's really cute and clean inside with a few tables and a bathroom available. There is a whole lot more to just lemons here so a must try. I really even like the presentation of the drink and the wrap the bubble waffle was in. Definitely returning to treat my mini someday soon I added to my chocolate bubble waffle at home a chocolate brownie ice cream with 3 kinds of cereal toppings which made it even tastier. Only had the idea because I had it similar somewhere else but it made my day to have it again since I haven't found any other place that does that.

    Happy Lemon recently opened in Manteca, and I happened to be visiting my friend and suggested we get some boba! I hadn't been to a Happy Lemon in YEARS, so it was nice to go back to one and see their drink selections! I'm big into fruit teas and decided to get the Fresh Passion Fruit Mango Green Tea! I thought overall it was really good, however there was a bit too much passion fruit in it which made my drink more sour than I would have liked. Otherwise, the tea flavor wasn't too strong and it was the perfect sweetness level for me! Service was also great and there were several tables you could sit down and sip your drink.

    My go-to place for boba. I've been to so many different boba places, but I always come back to a select few. Here in Manteca, this is my go to spot. When we moved from San Jose to Manteca I was relieved to find out there was a Happy Lemon since it's where I go when I'm craving something refreshing. The cherry on top is the group of people who work here. They are all lovely people who really want their customers to be happy with their order. I really appreciate that! We come in so often that they know our orders by heart now. We love coming to this location for the great drinks and friendly faces. *also ngl, but I love the stickers too*

    Cheers to Happy Lemon in Manteca!

    So glad that Happy Lemon is now open in Manteca! Their drinks are spot on and service is super friendly. We came on a Thursday evening and it wasn't busy. Appreciated that I didn't feel rushed. The cashier even waited patiently while I set up my Happy Lemon app. My go-to is their mango matcha with or without mango boba depending on my mood. Would love to try their bubble waffles on my next visit.

    I had been wanting to try out the Pleasanton location for a while so I was glad to see that there was a new Manteca location. I usually like to grab some boba tea, but I decided to try the Grapefruit Lemon Slushy here and it ended up being one of the best things I've tasted. I also grabbed an Oreo Bubble Waffle with taro puff cream. It was such a delicious crispy and chewy snack. I love waffles. The lobby had a few tables with a couple cute toys on each table. I thought that was a nice touch. The staff was very friendly and quick. Thumbs up.

    Traveled to visit family and was craving boba. First time here and it was yummy! Staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything tasted great. Worth the trip and highly recommended.

    Yay! A new boba place nearby! The drinks beetle are consistent with other locations and the employees are so friendly. I love that it's located in the less busier plaza of that area also. Makes parking easier. The place is very spacious and clean too! Whenever I don't mind driving an extra 10-12 mins for boba we go here! I always gets the green tea with sea salt crema or the mango yakult smoothie or the grapefruit lemon slushie :)

    The location is busy packed with food spot so it's perfect. The workers were welcoming and helpful. I ordered the matcha strawberry latte which is seasonal and my bff ordered black tea with salted cheese. We ordered one plain waffle and one Oreo waffle with one taro dip and cheese dip? I love them both and look forward to trying more drinks and waffles! Place is small but good for us to sit drink eat and catch up. There's a few tables but I noticed most ppl order to go! Happy customer!

    I've been to a lot of places, but this location of Vitality Bowls in Manteca really stands out…read more From the moment you walk in, the energy feels right clean, welcoming, and consistent every single time I've come in. I usually order the Vitality Bowl, and I'll admit, I'm a little specific with mine (I like my fruit on the side... sometimes no fruit at all), and they always get it exactly how I want it. That level of consistency and attention to detail doesn't go unnoticed. I have to give a special shoutout to Manny and Odonis both of them bring such a strong, positive presence. Manny is always upbeat and makes the experience feel personal, and Odonis is just as professional, patient, and on point. You can tell they care, and that matters. I also had the chance to meet the owner, who owns both the Manteca and Modesto locations, and she was genuinely kind and down-to-earth. It's clear the leadership behind this place sets the tone, because the team reflects it. What really stands out to me is that this isn't just about food it's about how you're treated when you walk in. And that's what keeps me coming back. If you're thinking about trying this place, go. You'll understand exactly what I mean. I'll definitely be back.

I was super hungry so walked across the street to find some food. After looking into a couple restaurants in the same center, I decided to try mexican food. It's was a long line. I ordered the shrimp taco, fish taco and beef taco and damn!!!! They are were so so so good. I even got their green juice, which is basically a kale smoothie. Also amazing.

    Here's a polished and corrected version in English:…read more Normally I would give them 5 stars, but today they really disappointed me . I stopped by and ordered carne asada, a beet and carrot juice, and a guacamole. I was really happy and excited because, after a difficult day and going through chemotherapy, it sounded like the most delicious meal I could imagine. Imagine my surprise when I got home, set everything on the table, and realized my guacamole was missing. I was upset, but I thought, "Oh well." I decided to call later to ask for a refund, and meanwhile I started eating the carne asada... it was extremely dry and almost burnt. Since it was so dry, I took a sip of my beet and celery juice, only to realize it had orange and carrot in it instead, and the oranges tasted kind of rancid. So I called the restaurant to explain what happened with my guacamole and ask for my money back. While thinking about everything, it crossed my mind that I hadn't left a tip. I started wondering if maybe that was why everything went wrong. Right now I'm on disability because I'm undergoing cancer treatment and I'm unable to work, so financially things are not easy for me. Long story short, I spoke with a woman on the phone and all she said was, "Okay, you'll receive your refund in three days." What stayed with me the most was that there was no apology or empathy at all. It honestly left me feeling disappointed, and that's not okay. As a customer, especially during such a difficult time in my life, I expected at least some kindness and understanding. I'm leaving this message so management can better train their employees in customer service. It's not good to focus so heavily on tips or risk a lawsuit because of the attitude of a waitress or server.
