Love this place! I always get the same thing. The staff are friendly & quick. The inside is cozy and nice to sit and hang out while drinking your boba. The only thing I dislike is parking as it is always full due to be a shopping center with different establishments. Aside from that. i always come back!

Happy Lemon has my favorite Taro Milk tea. The taro is very flavorful and has just the right amount of sweetness. I like to add boba to this drink for extra texture. The staff is very friendly and efficient. Please note that you will have to use a tablet to order you drinks, but it is easy to use. Also, there is plenty of seating inside, but parking can be difficult like everything on Convoy. Cool spot and recommend you come and try Happy Lemon.

Service great, spacious inside, cute name and decent drinks. Average price drink and tastes well enough. My avocado smoothie no sugar tasted like how its supposed to taste. Lmao! Plenty of parking here!

Little spot kinda hidden in a tiny shopping center next to Jasmine restaurant. Came because I was craving lemonade but this place is mainly other drinks beside lemonade. It was a good solid fresh squeezed for $7 but just had way too much ice. Will come back to try other things

Whenever we had dinner here in Convoy with my Son and his friends, my Son would always ask to pass by Happy Lemon, it's their favorite place to get their fruity drink and spend more time with each other. They have this app that you ask them to scan every time you get your drink and with it, you can earn a few points towards getting your free drinks, So far that works perfectly for us since we are always getting drinks here. My son and his friends kept trying different drinks here, but my wife and I always stick with Avocado & Passion Fruit drinks either with Boba or Lychee. The drinks here are pretty good, they look overly sweet but they are not, they just have the right amount of sweetness and they are very addictive drinks. Some days this place is so packed and some are not, mostly the weekend nights are the busiest. Parking-wise, I always knocked on the windows of those who abusively used the handicapped parking without a handicapped placard, either those online delivery people who picked up the food or the Happy Lemon customers whose reason was that they would be quick to grab their drinks. So far Happy Lemon is always our Place to go when it comes to good Fruity drinks.

It smells good when you step in. Don't forget to download their app if you haven't already. The bubble waffle has a wait time of around 5 minutes because they make it fresh. It may take longer depending on how busy it is... the salted cheese is a good dipping option if you're into those flavors. The milk tea drink was delicious as well! We enjoyed our dessert! The place is cute and clean. The workers are friendly. The prices are decent. Try this place if you haven't already!

This place is so delicious. I get the same thing almost every time- the Oreo milk tea w/ boba w/ puff cream. It never disappoints, and is most enjoyable (in my opinion) after a meal at a restaurant nearby. Spacious on the inside (including seating) and even though there's almost always a line (rightfully so) the employees are quick and attentive and I never wait longer than 5-10 minutes to get my order. Can't wait to be back!

Our go-to boba spot and they're giving away the cutest tumblers right now. Fresh boba, perfect drinks, and the cutest freebies... we love it here!

My friend took me here to try their cheese bubble waffle. It was SO GOOD!! It has a perfect balance of sweet and savory, soft and crunchy. I also ordered a strawberry lemonade, which I loved because it wasn't super sour. The place is also beautiful decorated, really modern. Service was ok. I will be back for that cheese waffle!!

01-10-2025 Large Mango Matcha Smoothie $7.50- a little bit on the sweet side even after the order was 50% sugar level. Other than that, we thoroughly enjoyed our drinks. This is one of my favorite places to visit when I am in the mood to treat myself. Note: Self order at the kiosk near the cash register

On the way home, we thought about heading over to Convoy to get boba and stumbled upon Happy Lemon. We stopped by around 10:00 pm and at that time, the parking, which is normally hectic, now had plenty of available spots. The place opens daily at 11:00 am and usually closes at 11:00 PM, except for Friday and Saturday when it stays open until midnight. We ordered the green tea with lychee and iced brown sugar. The drink was well blended, smooth and the sweetness was balanced. Overall, we enjoyed the refreshing experience.

I LOVE happy lemon! It always hits the spot as a sweet treat, after having dinner in convoy. This place can get busy on Friday/saturday nights. Lots of young people hanging out here, but it's a chill vibe! Everything we have tried here is delicious & it always smells sooo good inside!

Whats the difference between their salted "cheese" float and other boba shops salted foam float? Pictures seem the same to me.

They invented it and are the originals. If you like the flavor, it's a better flavor according to some.

Tried Happy Lemon for the first time, while in LA today & fell in love. So excited we have one in SD! I love the salted cheese sea salt caramel latte. Will it be available at this new location soon? Thank you!

You can immediately tell this is a place built by people who genuinely love what they do. Wonderful staff, incredible hospitality, and a proud culture that deserves to be shared with the world. I absolutely love the fava bean open sandwich. I almost always go for the Arab cold brew, and their Karak is fantastic as well. The Turkish coffee is completely on point. I'm a huge fan. Places like this make many of us proud of our backgrounds, and I truly hope Finjan continues to grow into every corner of San Diego -- and eventually across the country.

I was on the hunt for a good early morning matcha and remembered how much I liked Finjan Coffee at…read moretheir Mission Valley location. It was so good I've recommended it to a bunch of people, so I decided to check out the original Kearny Mesa spot out of respect. In my head, the first location should be even better since that's where it started, but that wasn't the case at all and it ended up being pretty disappointing. I ordered online and it showed a 19 minute wait for just a drink, which felt long for around 6:30 in the morning. I placed it anyway, but when I got there the plaza was basically empty. It's in a quieter area near military and recruitment offices. My drink was already sitting at the pickup counter with my name on it, so I was in and out in seconds. There is some outdoor seating with music playing, which is nice, but I didn't stay long. I ordered the same matcha I got in Mission Valley because it was that memorable. The only difference was dairy milk instead of oat milk, but that shouldn't have changed it this much. The color was the first red flag. It was super light, almost pale green, instead of that bright vibrant green you expect from good matcha. You can usually tell quality just from that. The taste didn't match either. The Mission Valley one had a strong matcha flavor with a slight sweetness from the date syrup, and the knafeh cold foam pulled everything together. This one tasted weak and kind of flat. The cold foam was still good and tasted the same, but that's only a small part of the drink and not enough to save it. Now I'm honestly confused because I've been recommending this drink to people and if they came to this location first, their experience would be completely different. It just didn't live up to what I had before. I'll probably go back to the Mission Valley spot to see if that version is actually the standard, but this one left me pretty let down.

Tried a mix of savory and sweet: the Curry Pan was good but didn't totally wow me, while the chocolate, strawberry ribbon, and matcha croissants were all really solid -- especially because they weren't overly sweet. The surprise favorite was the caviar bread: salty, fishy, briny topping on crusty bread that somehow just worked SO well. We also split a croque monsieur which was warm, cheesy, and perfect to balance out all the pastries. I wish they had real cutlery (vs only plastic disposables) for dine in customers. Our family shared all these goodies and a plastic knife was no match for some of them. Overall, really good quality pastries and breads, worth the early lineup. I'd definitely come back to try the sandos (served started 11:30)

Mango and coconut? Say less…read more This was such a refreshing dessert especially on a hot day. I loved the incorporation of all the parts of a coconut in one dessert. It was so yummy and pleasing to the eye. Service was quick and accommodating when ordering (since it was my first time). It's a pretty small area but still with seats in almost every corner as well as outdoors! Definitely a try if you pass by!

Cute little spot serving refreshing treats! The highlight for me was their coconut ice cream…read more The sundae is really cute and is essentially 3 scoops of ice cream + some coconut meat slices. It's extra pretty if you add toppings like their super sweet mango. All of the scoops of ice cream were on the icier side but flavorful. Coconut was sweet and fantastically refreshing, while the taro was a bit more subtle but nutty and enjoyable. The vanilla was an old fashioned vanilla which was creamier than the other flavors but still definitely a bit icy. I would just get 3 scoops of coconut next time! The added mango on top was super sweet and soft, which contrasted drastically the meaty texture and very subdued flavor of the coconut pieces (maybe shouldn't have eaten it after that sweet mango!). They also have some unique Thai flavors of Lay's chips + special desserts (mango sticky rice, coconut pancakes, coconut pudding, etc.). I'd return for some more coconut ice cream and to try those special desserts! There are a few tables inside and more ornately decorated tables outside. No restrooms. Service was friendly. Fun little place to try new desserts, for a cute quick date, or grab and go for treats :)
