    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!

    The best Molly Tea in the Bay Area. I know they are all Molly Tea, but having tried different…read morelocations, this one has consistently delivered perfect drinks each time. Of their drinks on the menu, white champaca, white champaca oolong, dancong, white champaca matcha are the top drinks I cycle through. Although they recommend 70%, I actually prefer 30% sweetness, less ice. Truly brings out the tea flavor. This location had a new drink Camellia during the LNY. However, I have not seen it on the menu since March. Hopefully they'll bring it back. They now have order online via their website (chowbus), and I recently learned that they have an app. This makes ordering drinks at this location easy since it is located in corner strip mall with minimal parking.

Salted Cheese Thai Tea- tasted like regular Thai Tea, but creamy as a handcrafted latte. Not much salted cheese taste. Dual-Layered Cheese Thai Tea- I like this one more; it has a Biscoff crumb topping with a hint of salted cheese. I was lucky to receive their limited-edition Sip into Thailand sticker and knitted bag during the first week of their promotion. They're too cute to use. The staff were busy making orders nonstop when I arrived after 2 pm. Lots of seating inside this spacious and clean store since most people pick up. The merch display section was like a Duty-Free shop at the airport. The parking is really small and located on the busy corner of El Camino Real.

It was amazing--perfectly coconutty, not too sweet, and the jelly inside adds great texture. It's an incredible non-dairy option! Staff is incredibly nice and friendly.

A few quick highlights: Price: Around $9-$12 Perks: They offer samples so you can try before you buy! Amenities: Restroom available, plus great indoor and outdoor seating. Parking: Located in a busy Sunnyvale area, but there is quite a big parking lot around the building. If you want a guilt-free, fresh indulgence, you have to check this spot out. Highly recommend!

The order was ready 10 minutes earlier than scheduled. Located in Arques Plaza, next to Metro Burger and Subway, Tong Sui sits prominent. The parking spaces closest to Tong Sui is ample. The pick up area and register is visible immediately upon entering. The cashier shared a friendly, warm smile and assisted with my pickup order immediately. The line upon entering had about ten people waiting to order around 6:30PM on a Saturday. Our order consisted of: 1 - Peach & Lychee Cheezo ($9.95) with honey boba ($1) 1 - Black Sesame Hojicha Latte (8.50) with honey boba ($1) 2 - Osmanthus Oolong Tea Latte ($5.95) with honey boba ($1) 1 - Mango Sticky Rice Coconut Pudding ($10.95) Verdicts: Osmanthus Oolong Tea Latte - very nutty and earthy flavor profile, at regular sweet I feel like it's too sweet but it was purchased for my daughter and husband. My daughter is not a fan even though she liked this tea at a different shop with the same selection options. I like it, Even with the prominent profile, the flavors are true to its name, well balanced and complex. If you are not into a strong earthy flavor, this is not for you - I personally enjoy it. Peach & Lychee Cheezo - this is the drink that sold me on trying Tong Sui. Blended peach skin on with Cheezo foam I have never had at regular sweet is not sweet. Think drinking a ripe piece of fruity, juicy and oh so satisfying. That is this drink. My daughter enjoyed it so much it is now hers. I at least got two sips. This is definitely a fan favorite because my husband wished he had chosen this one. Black Sesame Hojicha Latte - Hojicha is one of my favorite teas, never had it paired with black sesame and definitely never had peanuts added. This flavor profile intrigued me so much so I had to try it. At less sweet it is still slightly sweet and still perfection. The peanuts give it a nutty flavor profile with the roasted green tea and black sesame adding an additional nutty, smoky, earthiness. I love! The drink is creamy, rich, nutty and perfect. Think a luscious blended black sesame shake, so good! Mango Sticky Rice Coconut Pudding - served as my breakfast this morning. Kept refrigerated, it was perfect the next day. The mango tastes fresh, bright and sweet. The puddling was creamy, thick, coconut forward and light. The sticky rice complimented and balanced out the other two ingredients, making it the perfect bite. Whether I was eating the mango solo, the pudding with the mango or all three at once, each bite was truly satisfying. It was very filling. Would I return, most definitely when I am back in the area. Wish the other locations were closer to where I frequent. Other locations include Campbell, Milpitas, Palo Alto, Valley Fair and Redwood City.

This spot is a takeaway counter only and shares the space and kitchen with Mayan Kitchen. You order at one of the electronic touchscreen screens and wait for your order.

The pork was sliced in thin slivers and marinated in a sweet and savory sauce. There were crispy wonton skins and cilantro in the filling too. The crepe wrapper itself had a chewy and pliant mouthfeel. Passionfruit tea that came with the combo was a bit sweeter than I'd prefer, especially since the pork belly marinade was already sweet. But the iced tea was refreshing on a warm sunny afternoon. I would come back to try other filling options for their jianbing when I'm in the area.

Unfortunately, the new Ktea Cafe storefront faces the packing lot and is next to where other businesses dump their trash. Not a pleasant walk over if you are coming from the other side of Murphy.
