    Wednesday special buy one, get one 50% off
    Irene C.

    Came on a Wednesday and had no idea it was buy one get one 50% off any drink! The guy there was super nice and explained to me the difference about the lemon drinks. He suggested I have 0 sugar first because of the added honey and if I needed more sugar, he would add it for me. He made me the perfect freshly squeezed , honey lemon green tea. No sugar was perfect! Very nice guy with the tattoo sleeve. Will definitely be back!

    Mango smoothie, Oreo boba and boba milk tea

    Wide variety of teas and smoothies with boba! The service was very quick and high quality taste and open late. Bright and clean ambiance with super nice employees. Great local spot!

    Bubble waffle and honey green tea.

    I was sooooo happy that they have Happy Lemon in Newark! I often go to the one in Tustin as I'm a huge fan of their tea drinks and bubble waffles! This place didn't disappoint. Not too busy (maybe due to the location?), good customer service, fast turnaround, and clean. If you come on Wednesday, you can order one and get second one 50% off. There's a tv panel that shows the orders and status. Bubble waffles: 5/5 hot and fresh when it's done, and, love the crunchiness surrounding the outer layer. Delish! Honey Green Tea: 5/5 First time trying this tea. I asked for less sugar honey. Fresh, light, and refreshing.

    Green Tea Salted Cheese
    Ivan B.

    This review is for one of the salted cheese drinks I got. I got the Green Tea since it's my favorite type of tea and always wanted to try salted cheese. Apparently, I have to wait until my drink is almost finished and then I taste the one I've been waiting for. Kinda disappointed that mixing the liquid and the cheese doesn't work (could be how I do it). That could be me though. However, the green tea is good and the salted cheese is very flavorful. Perhaps, this type of drink is not for me, but overall, Happy Lemon is still one of the best boba shops.

    Amazing Service from one of the staff/cashier named Howie. Very informative when it comes to happy lemon drinks and teas. Howie,helped me /walked thru the menu,toppings and he is very patient as well. I got UBE PUFF MILK TEA with boba 50% ice 50% sugar The store is very clean and organized with a relaxing vibe. I will be back again and try their other dribks

    D6. Ube Milk Tea with Taro Puff Cream F10. Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie
    Ang V.

    Got the strawberry shortcake smoothie, my new fav! My bf got the ube taro puff but it tasted water down. It tasted off and the color is off too. Doesn't match the picture on the screen. BOGO on Wednesdays. Parking was easy because it was already late but this plaza has lots of amazing Asian food and businesses.

    Happy Lemon making me Happy.

    Even though there are a ton of tea shops around, I still repeat going to Happy Lemon as a regular. They are from the past generation of tea shops like T4, ShareTea and Gong Cha, which are all now kinda defunct, because taste and perception changes so fast in this boba crazed world. But my taste aren't so ready to always hop on the next trend. If I find something classic/solid then I will stick with it, Imma a ride and die type of compadre. Now there is really only one thing here that pulls me. Sure their lemon drinks are alright, great on a hot day. Their regular milk teas are suffice that I'd even rather get those from other places. But their milk tea with that salted cream on top ALWAYS hits for me. Even whether it is green or black tea, they are both equally good. And I've tried this drink elsewhere and Happy Lemon has the best and most consistent version. And they always put it in a cup with a lid that isn't sealed completely so you can take sips from the top, which is the best way to drink this drink. To actualy put that cream into your mouth and have the tea filter through each sip. And more places seem to seal your drink so you have to drink with a straw, which is not the deal for this. Sure you can mix everything which is fine, but not ideal for me. Also just recently tried their Waffle thing ($6ish), a Puffle which is what I like to call it, is pretty legit. It is always warm and when eaten within that first 10 minutes is the best as the edges are slightly crisp while the rest is nice and tender. And I like the regular one better than the matcha version as I liked the simple vanilla notes and the matcha didn't really come through for me. So yeah, 2 things that pull me here now. And this store is my go-to, convenient for me and the workers are always nice and mellow. They always tell me how long my wait is going to be. Not that I really care but seems like a nice gesture. I acknowledge my good fits, FIVER.

    Matcha strawberry latte
    Courtney M.

    The staff here is super friendly & the drinks are very good. This time I got the strawberry matcha latte.

    F2. Mango Matcha Smoothie
    Jennifer C.

    Love coming here for a quick refreshing drink! My favorite is the mango matcha smoothie and I've converted many family members to this smoothie as well I feel bad ordering multiples of this sometimes but the service is always fast and I'm out within a few minutes. It's a small location, but there's a few tables to sit and chat!

    My friend holding a Chocolate Eggpuff waffle. The two drinks are cheese foam green and black tea!
    PinnPinn S.

    Love this place! Its very clean. Definitely would recommend the drinks with the cheese foam bc they are delicious! Their egg puff waffles are soooo good too!! Eating it warm hits hard. Straight bussin! There's seating inside so its a perfect place to study as well! Service was fast and friendly as well!

    Ask the Community - Happy Lemon

    Are any locations open during shelter in place?

    This one (Newark) was open as of last week. I'd imagine they still are.

    Will Happy Lemon be open on Labor Day?

    They are open all year round, except for main holidays . Holiday hours will differ from each store. Call for hours to make sure

    How come there is no Large option for certain drinks like the Mango Matcha? I'd really like a large option for my favorite drink.

    Hi there! We really wish there is a large option for certain drinks but unfortunately happy lemon is a franchise and they are really strict on how they want to sell their product.

    Do you have dairy free milk tea?

    They offer a soy milk replacement I believe.

    Does happy lemon do catering/ parties?

    Yes! They do cater! Just stop by and ask and they'll be more than happy to help you with your catering needs.

    Does this location offer mango yakult? The Union City location did not have it on their menu!

    Yes they sure do!

    Is the shop supposed to charge tax or not? I have been here for 6+ times since it was opened, and I was charged tax for a few times but not the other. Can the owner anwser the question?

    Hi Jessie, We understand your confusion. We charge sales tax on behalf of government for hot drinks and for any type of drink consumed inside the restaurant. If cold… Read more

Walking into the shop, the decor and ambiance was nice, but there was no greeting from the staff and no menu to look at while waiting in line. We only knew what was on the menu when it was our turn to order at the self service kiosk. After we order our drinks, we then waited for twenty minutes. We walked over to the counter and to ask where our order is and they only made one out of the two drinks. The thing I'm most frustrated at is when we finally got our drinks they didn't apologize. There were two orders ahead of us, but that is no excuse to wait that long for two drinks. If you're looking for good service or something quick to pick up, this is not the place for you.
