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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Happy Lemon - A1. Green Tea with Salted Cheese - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Jose, California

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Solid Happy Lemon location! I ordered two drinks: -L passionfruit green tea 6.50. Additional $0.75 for boba, so total was $7.25 -M jasmine green milk tea $5.75 For the effort spent on making these drinks...$7 is getting a bit pricey. Some seating inside. Lots of parking in the plaza. read more

The girl working was incredibly rude. No nametag, but she had a septum piercing and a cartilage piercing on her right ear. She gave me my drinks, but I had 2 waffles in my order as well. After receiving the drinks, I waited a few minutes to ask about the waffles in case they were still being made. After a while, I went up to the counter and politely reminded her I had 2 waffles also. She looked at me, looked at something on the counter, and in the most condescending tone, said "Yeah... I know.. I'm about to give them to you." It was just incredibly rude and unnecessary. read more

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. read more

The staff was friendly and fast, which made the visit smooth. There's easy parking and the space is clean and comfortable. read more

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! read more

Happy Lemon - Mango green tea - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Jose, California

Another drink run in the bag! Got off work and scooped up my Darling for some boba drinks. Can't go wrong with the roasted Okinawa tea! (I forgot to ask for it without ice...) There were a LOT of people there so waiting for the drinks took a while. I don't recommend going later towards the evening as that's when people get off work and stop by for drinks. It also doesn't help when it's warm outside and customers are inside enjoying the A/C. Next time I may try the lemon slush or the wintermelon longan drink. Be sure to come early or order in advance and pick up. Parking can be pretty cramped at times too so be careful in that specific lot. read more

they serving drinks but never bothered to fix their restroom, not a good place to hangout, and their drinks are ordinary

I like it! Most of the drinks are really good lemony and refreshing. Their logo really stands out, so it's hard to miss. I'm also a big fan of their bubble waffle. The staff is pretty friendly. The only downside is that the store isn't very clean... read more

** Visited on Saturday 12/7/2024 around noon time :) Made a quick visit as I was wanting a nice Okinawa Roasted Tea while running some errands. This location is pretty quaint- it's in a quite plaza right off Blossom Hill and not too busy. I've visited this location plenty of times, and have had no trouble with staff or drinks here. The staff are pretty kind and quick to make your drinks. Seeing as it's a chain boba shop, you really can't go wrong in ordering different types of drinks or going for your favorite go to drink. read more

Their popcorn chicken is just salty and not great Their egg waffle is good Their taro milktea is bitter and tastes yucky..think they used really bitter tea and it has caffeine.. I asked for decaf but got it with caffeine and cousin drink ‍ read more

All Happy Lemon locations have been very good to me! Always consistent, clean, and quick service. I have come here twice and am always satisfied with my green tea and salted cheese, service, and cleanliness of the store. 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

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

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

It's been years since my last post, and I'm happy to say that the past few times I've visited (last year and this year), the A2 Black Tea with Salted Cheese has finally tasted consistent with other Happy Lemon locations. I don't know what changed, but they've definitely improved, and I'm glad to see it. The service has been fine, and the ambiance is exactly what you'd expect from a Happy Lemon. If you know, you know haha. read more

Happy lemon!!! You have to love locations with the name happy in it. You leave happy! Ever since they opened up my son can't get enough of happy lemon. We pass by this store often and he asks for happy lemon. Sometimes I think it's the name that makes him so happy The drinks are super delicious especially on a hot day. I am adventurous and always ask the worker for a recommendation. Sometimes I ask if they have a hidden menu or something they don't mind trying new. (Usually new workers don't make many suggestions.) Friendly staff here for sure! 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

It's so nice to have a happy lemon location on the south side! The staff are friendly and they're pretty quick preparing orders. Our go-to drinks are the boba milk tea and the lemon slushies. The slushies are so refreshing and have the perfect amount of tart and sweetness. The boba milk tea is your classic creamy and oh-so satisfying milk tea. Their bubble waffles are yummy as well! I prefer the plain one. The storefront is pretty much on par with any other boba spot. It's clean and has enough seating for one larger group, one medium sized group, and probably 3-4 smaller tables. 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

5 stars from when I walked in to when I got my drink. First time here I'm a boba thai tea lover Yes it's a addicting. I'm driving around on blossom hill rd in san jose and was in the mood for some boba and found happy lemon. Looked them up on yelp and google to see what rating they have and looked like they had decent reviews. I ordered the house thai tea with boba and tried their waffle And it was really good. The thai tea wasn't too sweet which I really like and the waffle was not to sugary. I really enjoyed this visit. Bill was $15.00 and tipped them $5 for good customer service HAPPY LEMON HAPPY CUSTOWER read more

To start off the service was good and everyone was kind. I ordered a mango jasmine tea w/boba 0 sugar and less ice. This drink already comes with mango boba and I wanted to add on boba. My drink came out without boba and when I told the worker they admitted that they forgot. He was going to add it in until he noticed he didn't charge me for it. He told me if I wanted it I'd have to pay for it. I work in customer service and as we always say the customer is always right. Other tea places I've been to have given me boba when they made a mistake. I wasn't going to pay extra for it so I just left but I think he could've handled this better. I'm not just saying this because free boba would be nice but because he was wrong and didn't do anything about it. Overall the drink had good tea flavor, just missing my boba! read more

I always get the drinks from the cheese series. Love their cheese green tea. The cheese on top at happy lemon is better than other boba spots with a similar item. Cheese is very sweet and the perfect texture to complement the drink. Plenty of parking and fast service. Small interior but there are some seats for small groups. read more

Terrible experience. Ordered popcorn chicken and a drink, asked for sweet & sour sauce, and they tried to charge $1.25 extra. On top of that, the popcorn chicken was way too salty. Every other boba shop gives the sauce for free and the food actually tastes better. Ridiculous. Won't be back. read more

The vibes are pretty cool. Hidden in a quiet plaza, the service is quick and efficient. The servers are very nice. The strawberry milkshake is delicious and I was able to adjust the sugar levels. You cannot adjust the ice levels because it is a blended milkshake. read more

Of you don't mind waiting 20 minutes for two drinks and a waffle...with virtually nobody in the store then this is your place. After waiting nearly 20 minutes I was informed by the line employee behind the counter that the 'online order came in first'...which implies the in person customer means nothing. Very disappointed with their attention or lack thereof. Won't be bringing my business back here. read more

This is our favorite spot to grab boba from whenever we're craving milk teas. Their drinks are always consistently good & their boba pearls are always soft & chewy. They're located in a big plaza with plenty of parking, so we've never had any issues. Service is quick too even during their peak hours. We've never waited longer than 10 minute to get our drinks. Our go-to drinks here is always their milk tea with salted cheese, boba milk tea with puff cream, and their dragonfruit lychee juice with salted cheese. Drinks are on the sweeter end, so definitely adjust the sweetness to your liking. read more

Staff was nice but I just didn't like my drink. It's my favorite drink from this brand and I'm so used to getting the pulp of the grapefruit all gently broken out into loose tiny capsules of popping juice floating around like the remnants of what's in a lemonade. However to my disappointment this place cut up the grapefruit meat into small square chunks that fits into my boba straw. I've never had to use a boba straw for this drink because I don't get any boba or toppings with this. And yet today I understand why he gave me a boba straw, so that I could suck up those bitter pieces of grapefruit. They should have test tasted the grapefruit. Who wants bitter grapefruit with bitter tea? The point of the sweet grapefruit was to offset the bitter tea notes. Never coming back even though today I made it a point to try out this new location. read more
