Happy Lemon - Front - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

Important: Happy Lemon is located in the food court on the second floor around where Mrs. Fields used to be. If you plan on getting the salted cheese foam, get it with the milk tea! I have often accidentally ordered tea with cheese foam, because Happy Lemon also offers milk-free tea options. Pros: I love salted cheese foam, and Happy Lemon delivers on it! Their milk teas with salted cheese foam are amazing. I've also had the taro milk tea with salted mochi in it, which has a very creamy texture and a great combination of saltiness and sweetness. I have also had the strawberry matcha smoothie, which I also enjoyed. The counter tends to be busy whenever I go, but the staff is always trying their best and they are helpful. Another great thing about Happy Lemon is that they never charge you extra for ordering drinks without ice. There are also no issues with parking since Happy Lemon is located directly in the Santa Rosa Plaza Mall, where there are parking garages close by. Cons: The tapioca tends to be undercooked, so the texture is often stiff instead of chewy. The drinks are too sweet for my liking, and this is coming from someone who has a sweet tooth. I've ordered drinks at 75% sweetness before like I do at other tea shops, but when I ordered from Happy Lemon, the drink was so sweet that I felt extremely sick and had to add some water at home to dilute the taste. This is because Happy Lemon adds an unbelievable amount of sugar to their tapioca and jellies. If you plan on ordering a drink with tapioca and grass jellies, consider getting 0~25% sweetness. I've been ordering at 0% sweetness lately. Depending on the time and day, Happy Lemon tends to get busy, but I haven't experienced any long lines. One way I feel that they could cut down lines is having a self-service device, but unlike other Happy Lemon stores, the Santa Rosa Plaza Mall location does not have one. I asked the staff about it and they said that they don't have one because of concerns about theft. Overall: Happy Lemon's service is great, and having salted cheese foam is a plus in my book! However, their drinks are extremely sweet, and probably much more sugary than any other milk tea shop I've been to. Consider ordering 0~25% sweetness if you add tapioca or jellies. I have not ordered anything else from Happy Lemon, so I can't comment on them, but I would like to try the egg puff waffle someday. read more

I never write comments, but the mango sago from happy lemon is the worst I have ever tried. It's watery, and the mango is unripe. I ordered the 25% sweet and it's still really sweet. I would just recommend their milk tea or salted cheese. read more

I am sorry to say I am not impressed with the Boba drinks here. The staff were really sweet. I got the Vietnamese coffee with Boba and it was so sickeningly sweet. I could only drink a little bit of it before tossing out My stomach was upset for the rest of the day. I never go into the mall, but I was looking for some Boba -there was another place across the way from them and they told me that place didn't really have Boba (?) read more

I'm so excited we have a Happy Lemon in Santa Rosa and it's just as good as the other ones if not better! Since it's opened I think I've gone 10 times in total... I love it! I've been obsessed with their Wintermelon Lemonade, it's sooo delicious and refreshing when I want something a little lighter. However for milk teas I definitely recommend their Boba Milk Tea with Puff Cream! The mango lemon slushy is also a great choice that I recommend! However you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And of course... please get their bubble waffle! It's fresh and so delicious. Pair it with the puff cream! They recently added popcorn chicken to their menu and 10/10. Crispy but also juicy and you can choose different spice levels! Every time I go the workers are always super friendly and make ordering comfortable. Highly recommend making the trek into the mall for Happy Lemon! read more

Happy Lemon - Black tea with cheese foam 50% sweet + matcha bubble waffle !! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I've been excited about the Santa Rosa Plaza having some new flavors and diversity when it comes to the food court. I'm so happy that Happy Lemon is in town! Extensive boba menu consisting of salted cheese teas, milk tea, brewed tea, fruit tea, slushies, smoothies, lemon teas and yakult teas. You can fully customize your drinks from toppings, sugar, and ice levels. I ordered their mango matcha smoothie and the Okinawa roasted milk tea with boba, Oreo bubble waffle and the salted plum popcorn chicken! Love their drinks so much! I'm a matcha girl, gotta have my matcha, so I had to order the mango matcha. The mango was overpowering over the matcha but it was a unique combination. The popcorn chicken was a tad bit on the salty side, the plum flavor gave it a bit of sweetness. Service was quick, friendly, it took me awhile to decide on my order and he was accommodating. Will definitely be back! read more

So glad Happy Lemon opened in Santa Rosa, it's the perfect addition to the plaza. A friend raved about it and so we just had to come! I can see why it's a classic down in the Bay Area! Loved the manager and everyone else working here, I had so many questions about boba! Especially since they have speciality options that other tea stores might not offer. They are expanding the menu with more savory options. Make sure to ask what specialities they might have! read more

Happy Lemon - Bubble Tea Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

$8.69 (?) believe that was with tax, for an egg puff/waffle? It's a little bit insane for a plain waffle. It's good, but the better ones are at Eggettes. No shop has matched their recipe. Drinks here are VERY sweet, so I'm surprised of the high ratings. I've been to other Happy Lemon locations and feel the same way about their drinks generally. If you get it to the right sweetness level, then it's ok. Very friendly staff. read more

Great drinks great people but the price is too much but isn't good tasting drinks I will still go there

Quick service, great flavors on the menu with variety. I will be back for deserts. I got the black milk tea with boba and a lemon green tea. Wish it wasn't in the mall it deserves a better spot! read more

YES FINALLY!!! We've been going to Happy Lemon in San Francisco and East Bay for years hoping one day they'd come to Santa Rosa and we are SO THRILLED to see they're finally here!! This will be our go to spot from now on to get boba. Do yourself a favor and try this place!! read more

This place is great, and we're so happy one opened up in our area, we've already gone twice. They were super friendly and have been accurate with our orders. Today I accidentally dropped my fresh made drink as I was picking up and they were kinda enough to replace it. We'll be returning again for the only place that makes decent bubble tea in the area. I'll be back to try the Viet coffee ones, they say they only have those in the weekend. read more

I can't believe that it took me so long to realize that a Happy Lemon opened up in Santa Rosa. I needed to door dash something today that was similair to the boba teas I get when I visit the Peninsula or SF. Imagine my surprise when Happy Lemon popped up. I ordered 6 drinks total. Drank the milk tea with cheese and shared the slushy lemon. Will drink more tomorrow. Flavors were great......just like the ones I use to get in San Francisco. Truly a happy Happy Lemon fan today. read more
