H1. Lemon Slushy
Daisy i.

The first time I tried this place I found the slushies to be a bit bitter. I started ordering the mango slushy and the fruit purée adds a perfect level of sweetness. There's usually only one employee working, overall it's a nice spot to pick up a drink.

Oreo Milk Tea with boba added

Stopped in on Friday afternoon. Parking is limited in Crocker Village. We ordered 5 drinks. Everything came out quickly. My son liked the Oreo milk tea with boba.

Soooo lemony! [Sacramento CA] We were already in the area so we stopped by Happy Lemon before heading home. Located in the Crocker Village in Sacramento... this is my first Happy Lemon visit anywhere. Hubby was not too thrilled because they didn't have his avocado drink, I gently reminded him there was a reason they called it Happy "Lemon" I ordered the Mango Lemon slushy... the drink was nice and tart, very refreshing, energizing, tasty and tropical... never mind that it was 44° in mid December outside. The flavor was overwhelming in tartness and packed the pucker power! It came with lychee jello but I had it substituted with boba. Customer service was great. My drink was ready before I could say "whoooeeeey!" Review #3631

A8. Milk Tea Salted Cheese, F5. Strawberry Milk Shake Smoothie with puff cream
Ann H.

We love visiting Happy Lemon to satisfy our boba and egg puff cravings. We always order the original egg puffs with salted cheese and the salted cheese milk tea with boba. No complaints with these 2 items on every visit. The strawberry milkshake with puff cream and boba was delicious as well. I do not recall the name of the other lemon tea. It was too tart for my liking. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Something bout that D5 with puff cream and slight boba balls just hits good. Nice for refreshing day to get it rolling ya feel. Just wish I had bought the houses across back in 2021

A4. Roasted Tea Salted Cheese with grass jelly

Service can be quite slow even though there's about 2 other customers in the store who has already ordered. Since teas (not milk teas) are usually sweeter on their own, I suggest lowering sweetness. Unfortunately, I got this same drink about 2 visits later and my tea was watered down. Almost as if the tea was not brewed long enough. A little disappointed.

Decisions... decisions!

The closest place to get bubble tea with boba to UC Davis Cancer Center. The boba specialist do a great job helping their customers, even giving me a sample to try out some teas to ensure I like it before wasting money for something I dont like. Kudos to you Happy Lemon Employees. Pros: -They do rewards programs, so please sign up. For every 10 purchase of bubble tea, you get 1 free. :) -The lobby is clean. The aroma is fresh! Cons: -No military/veterans discount. -And no Okinawa donuts. The signage threw me off, and I ended up ordering an Okinawa Drink. :(

It's always so hard for me to pick a drink here at Happy Lemon because everything sounds good! TIP: come on a Wednesday to take advantage of their buy 2 get 1 free deal! I wanted the classic green tea with salted cheese but decided to try something new instead. The ube milk tea with ube puff cream and taro balls was pretty good, and the sweetness is balanced between the plain texture of the taro balls and the sweeter puff cream. But if I was going to come back, I'd stick with my usual green tea with salted cheese because it always hits the spot! We also had an Okinawa milk tea with puff cream which was pretty good, but on the sweeter side, and a mango Yakult smoothie which is a very refreshing non caffeinated option. It has mango chunks and although the Yakult causes it to separate after a while, just give it a little stir and it still tastes just as good.

Full menu. Prices as of April 2024. Tried to get photo with as little glare as possible.

I stopped in with a group of three others while in the area for work around 5pm on a Friday, as when I searched for boba near me, Happy Lemon was one of the top search results. I did not know it was a franchise until my arrival. All of us unfamiliar with the menu, we ended up ordering a large boba milk tea (D1), a medium mango lemon slushy (H5), and a medium kumquat lemon green tea with lychee jelly (E10). Price was roughly $18. I found it neat how you could adjust both the sugar and ice levels on the drinks, the options being: normal, less, half, light, and none. The staff member who took our order was polite, however on two the drinks we asked for them to be made with less sugar, and they responded both times with they couldn't for one reason or another. I wonder if that was inherently true. By far, my favorite drink was the basic boba milk tea, but it didn't have enough ice! We didn't adjust the ice level at all, and it was basically fully melted and only barely above room temp. Some of the tapioca pearls were very chewy the way I prefer, but I found some of them to be a bit hard in the middle. My second favorite drink was the kumquat lemon green tea with lychee jelly! I'm glad I didn't get it less sweet because I think it would've been too bitter, as there was certainly a bitter-citrus flavor from the kumquat, but I enjoyed it. My least favorite was the mango lemon slushy, it was way too sweet and syrupy! It was not at all worth the $6. I do want to try Happy Lemon again, as I did not try their salted cheese options, which seems to be their specialty. I would like to try their boba milk tea with puff cream or their black tea with salted cheese.

Great location in the Sac City College/Land Park/Curtis Park area, next to Ono Hawaiian and nearby Somi Somi. I like this particular Happy Lemon because they aren't as busy as the other ones and their service is fast. I ordered 2 large drinks, customized ice and sweetness levels on both, and added mango boba and salted cheese cream to my mango green tea. Prices for a large about $6+. I got my 2 drinks and right away I noticed there wasn't any salted cheese cream. I gave it back to the staff and she politely apologized and added it to the drink. It was delicious and the mango boba pearls were refreshing. My husband loved his lemon green tea. You cant go wrong with any of their lemon drinks! Makes me happy that they found a home in this new shopping center.

Ask the Community - Happy Lemon

Why does the phone go straight to a prerecorded message? I wanted to see if you have boba before I drive over since you've been out every time I've arrived for months.

Every time I've gone the past few weeks there has been boba.

Is there any option for online ordering?

They accept order through DoorDash

Tomo Tea House is my kids absolute favorite boba spot! They love coming here for the boba, but the…read moremochi donuts and Dubai strawberries are also a huge hit in our family. It's become our go-to place for a special reward treat when the kids are doing especially well in school and excelling academically. Nothing motivates them quite like knowing a Tomo treat might be waiting for them! Everything feels like such a fun little treat, and it's become a place we genuinely enjoy coming to as a family. Definitely a favorite in our household!

Bang average, with prices that suggest they're serving gold leaf…read more TOMO Tea House is one of those places where the presentation is doing considerably more heavy lifting than the food. The chilli wonton soup was genuinely good, probably the standout for me. I'd happily go back for that. The cinnamon rolls were alright. I tried the Biscoff Crunch, Dubai Pistachio with Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, and Banana Pudding flavours. They looked the part and were decent enough, but nothing that had me thinking, "Bloody hell, I need another one of these." The waffles, unfortunately, were a different story. They weren't cooked properly through the middle, chewy and gooey rather than crisp on the outside and fluffy inside. The Biscoff flavour was also barely noticeable. The drinks are very much geared towards the social-media crowd: lots of milk, lots of toppings, lots of visual appeal. If you enjoy taking a photo of your drink before taking a sip, you'll probably have a field day. And then there's the price. For what you're actually getting, it feels rather steep. The food is, at best, mediocre in several areas, yet the prices seem to suggest these ingredients were mined personally by King Charles. Ironically, I actually would have gone back for the chilli wontons, banana pudding and Biscoff pudding. But the experience around their influencer/collaboration side left a rather sour taste. If you're a collaborator or influencer, BE WARNED! No real communication or courtesy message. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but if you're going to deal with people, a simple response goes a long way. But then again, they perhaps cherry-pick whom to interact with based on their social media activity. And finally, watching someone at the counter struggle with some basic maths while taking an order was certainly an experience. I'm all for supporting people, but perhaps the calculator deserves a little more screen time than the Instagram account. Overall: some genuinely good items buried underneath a lot of hype, presentation and rather ambitious pricing. I'd happily return for a couple of the things I enjoyed, but I wouldn't be rushing back for the overall experience. Food: 3/10 Value: 2/10 Presentation: 8/10 Social-media appeal: 10/10 Would I return? For the chilli wontons and a couple of puddings, yes. For the rest... probably not.
