    Mango Matcha and matcha bubble waffle
    Julianna E.

    I haven't had Happy Lemon in a while, but it never disappoints! I got the Mango Matcha and the Matcha Bubble Waffle. The Mango Matcha is my favorite drink here, and it was just as amazing as always. It's a subtly flavored matcha smoothie with pieces of mango. It wasn't too sweet and super delicious. The Matcha Bubble Waffle was also fantastic. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating, and the service was quick. Overall, had a really great experience!

    We got the best seller green tea with salted cheese and boba milk tea with puff cream. Both were great except the salted cheese was sweet and not salted. Great location but parking maybe tricky

    had come here during an "off" hour so it wasn't too crowded. service was quick and simple - ordered boba milk tea with spicy popcorn chicken and it was the same as anywhere else - glad they're consistent. little indoor seating but i'd prefer to grab my drink and walk around downtown.

    I lovvvve happy lemon I think it's the best boba on castro street! They do get crowded but there is a lot of seating. The egg waffles take a while but they're sooo good, last I checked they also give a generous amount of puff cream or salted cheese with the waffle. My faves drinks: Go to order: Salted cheese milk tea 50-75% sweet Other good orders: Matcha latte with tirimisu foam 50% sweet Matcha Mango smoothie Mango Milk tea with Orange and lychee jelly 50% sweet (this is really good) I had the genshin teapuccino recently. Would not reccomend - it's like a worse version of their regular milk tea but more watered down. Also if you're a regular here I reccomend getting the app!

    popcorn chicken

    I ordered the popcorn chicken and it's $10 for a half full box? Absolutely ridiculous.

    I like happy lemon. Always same and good quality in this location. Just one thing is; they are very slow. But this is common at Tea Shops hahaha I don't know why :)

    One of my favorite boba spots! Consistently great drinks and quick service across their many locations. Some of my favorites are: - Strawberry green tea - Mango matcha smoothie - Matcha latte w salted cheese (and their salted cheese drinks in general) - Over the summer I've had a berry smoothie with salted cheese which was so good! Hoping they make it an annual thing

    Mango lemon slushie, ube milk tea with boba/creme and grapefruit lemon slushie.
    Kurtis S.

    Overall great 1st visit. Two out of our 3 drinks were a hit! I can say just from walking into the store you are greeted with a pleasant aroma of boba freshness! We each got different drinks; an ube boba (with creme), grapefruit lemon slushie and a mango lemon slushie. I've never had an ube milk tea with creme but it was a fun addition! My wife got a grapefruit lemon slushie which she said hit the spot on a warm summer day and my good friend with his mango lemon slushie said it was slightly sour but overall tasty. We will likely be back as we are new to the area and excited to find a boba spot that we enjoyed so much!

    Love love love Happy Lemon!!! My usual order: Okinawa roasted milk tea (25% sugar) with boba never disappoints. Sweet enough, pleasant strong tea taste and the boba pearls here are delicious. My mom tired the new Vietnamese coffee (25% sugar) with puff cream and wow!!! Vietnamese coffee is usually too sweet for my liking so I loved that you can adjust it here and the puff cream adds an additional creaminess to it.

    D6. Ube Milk Tea With Taro Puff Cream and Boba
    Laney C.

    I got an ube milk tea with taro puff cream + boba and it didn't really taste super ube-y. It was still pretty sweet considering that I got less sugar. The boba was pretty chewy but overall this drink was just alright. The wait time was rather long (maybe 15 min?) considering that there was 1 person ahead of me.

    Popcorn chicken, Chili Spicy
    Chrenzoe Christian B.

    No question, this is HAPPY LEMON serving fried chicken. That thing is addicting, dangerously good, spicy and phenomenal. I had to order 3 more for the road! It was that good! I wish I had ordered 10 more! TAKE MY MONEY! One way to start a good service is their smiles. Great job Happy Lemon Team! We went on a non busy hour trying to pick up new stuff for my hamster. So I couldn't really get a rating on the ambiance. But overall, my experience at this Happy Lemon Spot is STUPENDOUS! I will definitely come back and try their other chicken flavors and other new drinks. Thanks!

That was perfectly delivered with the original crepe cake. I wanted the Pistachio, but I didn't plan well ahead. This one is popular. However, I was pleased to try the original as a gateway to Lady M cakes! It was fairly simple with light cream and inspired me to return to try another. They sell these delights by the slice also, and there's fancy candies in boxes against the wall also. Staff is friendly also. I missed that 12 noon window by a few minutes to having my order ready by my desired date. They took my phone call and put my order in. My order wasn't immediately found when I arrived but a bit of patience, and there it was.

A quick snack date with the wifey and we opted to grab a quick drink and snack. Mochi waffle (black sesame), and two drinks (Dalgona Coffee for the misses and Lychee Mojito for me). The waffle was outrageously good. Very crispy on the outside but very soft and chewy (mochi like) on the inside. I've had mochi donuts and waffles before and I've never had it quite like this. This was straight impressive. Wifey and I scarfed down the waffles. Must get, but also probably only really good when they're freshly made. As for the drinks, the Lychee Mojito was good. The tart was very refreshing and surprisingly strong. A bit sweeter than I'd like (I did opt for 25% sweetness). The Dalgona Coffee was good, wifey enjoyed it, but I felt like the coffee flavor wasn't strong enough. Overall, awesome place for some spectacular waffles. The drinks are worth a try as well. No seating inside or outside. Waffles will take 10-15 minutes (maybe longer if it's busy). So, be prepared to wait without sitting down. Small private lot.

They offer a variety of drinks, from lattes to milk teas to shakes. Some of my favorites include the Mocha Latte and Ube Milk Tea. The only disappointment was the Mermaid, but I'm not a green tea drinker so maybe it's just not my taste. The drinks lean sweet, so for those who prefer less sugar than me (i.e. most people), you should adjust accordingly. Meanwhile, the desserts are just as diverse and delicious. I enjoyed the Ube Cashew Brownie and Milo Cupcake, but would recommend the Ube Leche Flan Cupcake for your first visit. One trend across their offerings is the use of Filipino flavors like ube, Milo, and sweet corn. It makes them stand out in the crowded cafe & boba market. On the other aspects.. the store itself isn't too big but is well-decorated. There's not much seating so most will just order to-go. The service is usually quick so that's not an issue. Overall, I highly recommend checking out Café 86, as I'm pretty sure you'll find something you like.

Craftsman and Wolves is a killer crafts bakery that makes the perfect Kouign-amann. The shop does many things including a signature bread pudding, small in size but big in flava. Measures maybe two and a half inches diameter, an inch thick. Packs a wonderful wowie punch with the seasonally ripe berries and fruit, plus a few pieces of specialty chocolate. My friend who knows from excellent pastries says the goods at C and W are special because the sugars in each item are balanced, not excessive. The goodies we sampled together were scrumptious. Somehow even my pedestrian palate senses that these dessert thingies are distinctive and of ultra quality. Ambiance-wise, it's a noisy place with a few tables lining the windows. You are elbow to elbow practically against neighbouring tables. I know I heard every syllable of the conversation going on to my right-hand side.

I'd like to try the Bites and Mochi Donuts in the future. This particular location only has outdoor seating, but the interior is sufficient for ordering & waiting. The service is generally good too. There was one day where they had a mishap with their fridge, meaning a bunch of menu items were unavailable, but they were able to manage the situation without too much customer dissatisfaction.
