After eating lunch next door, I stopped in to get a fruit tea. This is my first time at this location. I have had happy lemon before and knew exactly what I wanted to order. I was warmly greeted when I entered. There were a few customers enjoying their orders at the tables inside. There was only one employee working inside. The employee asked if I needed more time but I was ready. I ordered the grapefruit green tea with 25% sweetness and 25% ice. I found a place to sit and waited. It's very nice inside with their mission statement and 100% satisfaction guarantee, printed on the wall. My order was ready in 5 minutes. I grabbed a straw and headed out to my next destination. My tea was very cold, delicious and refreshing. There are actual pieces of ruby red grapefruit inside. It tasted exactly like the one I had a few days ago at another location. They are definitely consistent with their quality, which is really great. I will definitely be back for more.
I happened by the old neighborhood and saw a Happy Lemon and decided to drop in. Nice small place with a few tables inside. Cashier will take your order. She was friendly, courteous and polite. Black Tea with Salted Cheese (4/5) - savory yet sweet. Support your local business.
This is one of the more convenient Happy Lemon locations for me. Parking is usually easy to find, and I can get in and out pretty quickly. My go-to order is the A1 green tea with salted cheese, less ice and less sweetness. I was pleasantly surprised by how generous they were with the salted cheese, definitely a plus since it's my favorite part. One thing I really like about Happy Lemon drinks is that they still taste good even the next day or two. Since I'm sensitive to caffeine, I rarely finish my drink in one go, so it's nice that I can enjoy it over time. Service here is fairly quick and the shop is on the smaller side but definitely the one that I frequent.
Came here after Paik's noodles next door for dessert. Drinks are good but don't really blow your mind. They've expanded their menu quite a bit since the last time I was here a while back with matchas, different popcorn chicken, winter melon drinks. Freshly Squeezed Lemon Green Tea - tasted mostly of tea with a hint of lemon. Would have loved more of that fresh squeeze. Tea flavor is that familiar jasmine tea flavor you get at chain boba shops. They're the OG cheese cream people in the bay. I'd say, if you're into salted cheese cream they're pretty good!
Very refreshing , not too sweet just perfect , especially on a hot summer day! Go with the A8 never fails !
Have come back to this location at least 3-4 dozen more times simply because my husband works around the corner and it just continues to disappoint. I love Happy Lemon as a chain, but it is this specific location that is just awful. Tonight, I ordered a milk tea with extra boba with 0% sugar. I saw the worker pour a double batch of milk tea into 2 different cups...1 being the cup that was given to me and the other was what looked like an oreo puff cream milk tea. What are the chances that an oreo milk tea with puff cream would also have 0% sugar? I had my suspicions that the worker messed up my drink and poured sweetened milk tea into my boba cup, so I tasted it and was correct. It tasted 100% sweet so I went and told one of the workers and she questioned me as if I was lying and proceeded to ask the guy in vietnamese if he poured the milk tea from the short shaker or the tall shaker into my boba cup. When he said that he poured in milk tea from the tall one, instead of just making me a fresh drink like any other location would do especially when they made a mistake, she proceeded to peel open the cup, dump the tea from the cup to "save" the boba and poured new milk tea in and handed me a super sticky cup of heavily iced super sweet milk tea with boba (residual sugar from the milk tea in the cup). I never got an apology or anything, but more like I was inconveniencing her for asking her to remake my drink. Talk about rude!
Food and drinks is on par with other Happy Lemon franchise stores. However, this is the only place I have been to that charges $1.25 for a 2oz container of sweet and sour sauce to eat with their popcorn chicken. Would come back if they stoped nickel and diming their patrons.
If you're happy and you know it, Yelp - you can! Happy Lemon is a chain that has been impressing me for almost eight years. I normally stop by their original San Jose shop, but I found myself closer to here and decided to give it a try. I do have some of their locations near where I live these days, but those don't offer the whole blended lemon series. I reactivated my Happy Lemon app and ordered a B1. Fresh Lemon Green Tea ($6.75), then drove over here from my prior stop. My drink was ready by the time I arrived, and fortunately there wasn't a wait at the counter at all. The whole blended lemon is great since you get all the complexities of the rind as well as the flesh. There is an exquisite, even masochistic pleasure in sipping this drink at a 25% sugar level. There is just enough sugar to tone down some of the bitterness from the tea and lemon, but it leaves you wanting to sip more anyway. Sure, 50% would have been more fun, but taking small sips - no thanks to the employee who handed me a giant straw - allowed me to keep the drink going for hours. I'm not sure that they actually fulfilled my 25% ice customization, but I'll give them a pass this time. Happy Lemon offers a unique, delicious lemon tea and also has a capable lineup of other drinks typical of bubble tea places. I will be happy to support them as long as they stay open somewhere accessible to me.
My go-to place in San Jose for boba! We order from the app every weekend. Their squeezed lemon teas are SO good, I also love their strawberry green tea, milk tea and matcha latte with salted cheese. Service is fine. I keep coming back! My kids also love their bubble waffles
This is my go to spot! I love happy lemon ! Customer service is always on point there sweet ! It's with in a plaza so there's plenty of parking around ! There's couple of tables to set and wait or to enjoy your drink and talk with your friend or whomever ! Definitely recommend!
Got some juice and got some tea. Known for its signature cheese foam, Happy Lemon delivers on thirst quenching responsibilities. The front desk features a tablet for ordering to help staff with focusing on crafting your order. I got to admire the cleanliness and vibrant interior as I waited for my order. Enjoyed my dragonfruit juice and gotta say it went out quickly! read more

I wasn't a fan of the ube milk tea. The flavor tasted artificial and had a powdery taste. I also tried the matcha and original bubble waffles, which were okay and tasted like regular waffles just made in a different shape. read more

Kaitlyn is such a wonderful person and helped me when I didn't know what to order and when I was struggling to find something I liked. She was so kind and patient and the drinks were great! read more

Arrived here around 4 pm on a Thursday afternoon to get boba with a friend. Super easy parking around the area, not that many people inside except the staff. Pretty fast in ordering and delivery of my drink! I got one of their popular drinks- passion fruit mango green tea with lychee jelly. Chill vibes with a clean interior from the entrance, lobby, and bathroom. My drink was delicious, semi-sweet, but my only gripe is the passion fruit seeds since they have a weird crunch texture that I wasn't expecting. Good boba shop nearby in south San Jose! read more

I like the salted cheese drinks from Happy Lemon, but I usually gravitate to other boba shops that offer snacks as well because I'd like food to compliment my drinks and not have to drive to multiple stores. Happy Lemon is offering snacks! Yay! My husband and I ordered 2 of the chicken, one in original and another in salted plum. We also ordered the fried tofu in spicy Mala. I really liked the tofu; it was soft silken tofu. The chicken was pretty good. If you like Li hing mui powder, the salted plum was quite interesting in a good way. The original was light in salt pepper. The wait on the fried foods took a while. My husband's yakult was pretty melted by the time the food was done. Maybe because the fryer was off and took a while to turn on? We were warned that it would take some time, but we really wanted to try to assess the boba snacks here. read more

Yikes, this has to be the worst happy lemon I've visited! And I've been to quite a few. We ordered an original waffle with boba filling and salted cheese dip and a strawberry shortcake drink with boba. It took 30 minutes to get our order. On top of the long wait, they did not give boba in our drink (which you pay 75 cents more for). Also, we were surprised at how watery the cheese dip was (see video). Ive never seen it like that before and we've been to other happy lemons and ordered this many times. You also pay extra for that dip too, so that's frustrating. Luckily the waffle itself was good but we were pretty disappointed with this visit and not sure we would visit this happy lemon again. read more

I really love Happy Lemon at this location, but it was pissed me off since the chicken popcorn and fired tofu were a half box. I was disappointed two order foods today 11/20/25. I will never to come back here for foods. To be honest, if you were as me how do you feel ? read more

Pretty good- was sad they didn't have red bean anymore (it's still on their menu though). Spacious seating inside and easy parking. Drinks came out quickly, and you can look at your order/s being prepped on their screen. read more

This place is spacious inside and one thing I like about Happy Lemon locations in general is that they have a screen that shows what orders they were working on. I order the Mango Matcha a lot, sometimes with boba and sometimes without. Some people may think it's a weird combination but it works well. It's a great balance of sweetness from the mango and the matcha flavor. I also got the bubble wrap in the original flavor with no filling. They have a few flavors and some filling options to choose from as well. The service is good and they're very quick! read more

This is my go-to for boba in my neighborhood. I like it because it has a nice seating area and parking is very easy too. The menu options are not as creative/extensive as other places, but they have all of the standard drinks/flavors with a heavier emphasis on fruity/fresh drinks. I tried the bubble waffle for the first time at it was really great! I got the taro cream dip and it was light, tasty, and unique. The service was friendly and efficient. Nice family spot :) read more
