Never will I come to This location. Only had 4 sips of this drink and it's because they fill this drink up with all Ice and they hardly put any milk tea on it. Very disappointed in how they make this drink. Paid more for a full cup of ice rather than a drink...
Their salted cheese and tea never disappoint me. I had ordered many times and that's always my to go order at all locations. However, it doesn't seem like the staff likes his job at all, and I am not saying it is his fault. Maybe the pay isn't good, maybe making drinks is tiring, maybe I have an annoying face. I just have to say, the attitude makes me not want to come back to this location anymore. With so many boba shops nearby, I will go to a different place with an average or even above average service.
I've been a regular of happy lemon for as long as I can remember them being open. They've opened many locations throughout the years and I'd probably almost always stop by if it's around. My go to drink is always the A2 Black tea with salted cheese. It's simple yet so good every time. I've tried numerous drinks and teas and there isn't one that I wouldn't recommend but everyone has their go to drink and that so happens to be mine! This place has the best salted cheese topping. I went on a random afternoon because it's continently right by the post office. The guy who took my order was kind and made ordering go smoothly. I like how they have tables outside to enjoy the nice day. The place is small but it gives cute boba shop.
Happy lemon is always good. They were one of the first places to do the salted cheese cream on top of the drinks. They used to have more desserts but now they only have the bubble waffle. Staff is always very friendly.
Pretty busy on a Monday evening (Memorial Day). They didn't have boba available right away, so they asked each person if they wanted to sub for a different topping, or wait an extra 15 ish minutes. I ordered a boba milk tea with puff cream. No complaints! The puff cream was such a good addition to the milk tea. Also the large size was the only option on the kiosk - would be nice to be able to pick sizes. Plenty of parking in lot, a few tables inside but not a super big store.
This was the perfect spot to hit before a road trip to LA. I got the iced mango orange milk tea with crystal boba which was perfect for the heat. The drink looked so vibrant thanks to the orange peels. Also tasted so refreshing and sweet even at 50% sugar. I highly recommend. We ordered online to go and the service was quick. The store is cute and very clean with a few seats.
Another great location of happy lemon, next to the popular burger place St John and Costco Lawrence. Kiosk order is easy and quick. Dragon fruit with salted cheese and boba milk tea, both were great
This is 10/10 the best boba near Sunnyvale area. The classic tea is done to perfection. The one service member was nice and quick at getting things done under five minutes. The place is super trendy, yellow, and modern aesthetic. Great space outside for lots of seating.
3.5 stars 3.5 stars Was craving for boba and thought ill take my first trip to Happy Lemon. Went there at around 5pm, the place was crowded. Theres only one ordering screen inside to a queue formed (quite long) for placing order. It felt like the staff was overworked, they just did their job quietly and non stop, no time for greeting or even eye contact. There's dine tables/seats available. I places the order online for Ube milk tea with taro puff cream and boba after seeing the reviews online. It's only available in large size. I opted for zero sugar. The drink was heavy on the stomach, i could skip dinner and it was delicious. Even though I selected 0 sugar it was still sweet, perfect sweetness for me. Honestly its just bring me how one single drink costs almost 9 dollars but i still spend it!
Avoid this location (when ordering the bubble waffles). I am a fan of Happy Lemon and they're usually consistent across the locations I've been at. Ordered a jasmine green tea with boba and the original waffles. The boba didn't have any flavor; I'm guessing they don't add honey to it, if any at all. Drink itself was standard. The bubble waffle came out cold and undercooked! Plus, there were some unknown black pieces in it? I'm not sure if it's chocolate or something, but I wouldn't trust a dish that had ingredients that don't belong? I've never had anything else in my egg puffs and it wasn't part of the filling either. Other Happy Lemon stores have always had crisp and perfectly cooked waffles. We were the only customers during this time too. Not a great experience.
We ordered their mango jasmine tea with mango boba and original boba to share. It was great and we enjoyed the treat! :)
We were needing some boba this week, so I decided to pick a new spot from the norm in the area and of course, Happy Lemon is a standard in our old spot so I figured, it was time to drop by. In short, pretty much in line with other Happy Lemon spot, but bummed to hear that lychee jello has been discontinued, but great service with good drinks. L O C A T I O N Happy Lemon is located in one of several plazas along Lawrence Expressway. This one is in the same plaza as St. John's and Central Computers. The parking lot is relatively small, but at the time I went, there was available parking. I N S I D E It's not a huge spot, but they do have seating inside if you want to hang out, but again not huge and it's the Happy Lemon yellow inside. M E N U Has your standard milk teas, they specialize in cheese foam as well as lemonades. Toppings are fairly standard and now super standard as they stopped selling lychee jello not to be mistaken for lychee jelly. Two very different toppings. One is more jello/pudding like so soft and easy to eat versus the lychee jelly which you do need to chew. I got a oolong milk tea with lychee jelly no sugar no ice. Pretty good pretty standard. Solid choice. S E R V I C E The person who helped me order my drink was lovely. Though unfortunately she didn't catch my change from lychee jelly to grass jelly but it's all good, I could totally understand where the communication criss crossed as I was all sad about lychee jello. Easily got my drink in a good short amount of time. Easily paid by card. O V E R A L L Good solid boba option in the area. Definitely more of a grab and go spot. Service was lovely. Drink solid. Will come back for sure as an option when I'm in the area.
Stumbled upon this location when were trying to find some boba. There was plenty of parking spaces and no wait inside the store. The menu had your standard fruit and milk teas. The did have some special items, like their fresh lemon drinks, slushies, and salted cheese series. Some drinks you could adjust the ice and sweetness. The staff was friendly and helped answer some of my questions. We got a couple of drinks, including the mango lemon slushy, and mango yakult. The slushy was a little more sour than I thought but still good. The mango yakult smoothie was definitely our favorite. Overall pretty decent drinks and good service.

This place is a cool place to hang out at. There aren't too many tables so first come, first serve. The staff was very nice and were really fast about getting my item out. The drinks are comparable to the other Happy Lemon locations. read more
First time visiting this location, and unfortunately, the experience was quite disappointing. I completely missed the self-service kiosk on the side when I first walked in, so I waited at the main register expecting to be assisted. However, none of the workers acknowledged me. Eventually, another customer walked over to the kiosk to place their order, so I went over shortly after and tried to order there. I searched through the entire menu looking for the newly anticipated Pandan Mango Sticky Rice drink, only to find that it wasn't listed. I asked the workers about it, and they told me that they had to place the order for us. So, back to square one, I had to wait again for someone to assist me. Since today is Labor Day, the new drink was $2 off, so I decided to give it a try. The drink looked very pretty, but unfortunately, it was overwhelming in a bad way. The sago was undercooked and very hard to chew/drink, and the drink itself was extremely sweet. I went back and asked the worker if there was an option to adjust the sweetness level since I wasn't offered that choice when ordering. I was told there was no sweetness adjustment available, so I asked them to add some ice to my cup instead. I'll probably be adding even more ice once I get home. Overall, I'm pretty disappointed--not only with the service and lack of acknowledgement, but also with the drink itself. It unfortunately wasn't what I expected or anticipated. read more

3.5 stars. This is a nice tiny store located in the strip mall by St. John's Bar & Grill, Myzen Ramen, etc. The service was nice and friendly. Black Tea w/ Salted Cheese. (100% sweetness and ice). You are supposed to drink at a 45-degree angle, so you drink some of the Black tea and salted cheese at the same time. read more

It's kind of a chain. I'm not terribly impressed. I've tried the brown sugar milk tea, which was on their favorites list. It was ok, and the boba were a little hard. Their fruit teas are more signature, if you're into that. The grapefruit green tea is good. Real hunks of grapefruit, sugar, and, um tea. Ice. And a lid. Simple and refreshing. The waffles are ok. So many snack places, I guess it's hard to stand out. read more

Happy Lemon is always good and has a uniquely tart profile I have yet to find reproduced at any other boba shop. I really only come for the lemon drinks here. New favorite is dragonfruit lemon slushy. Boba quality was perfect and also a good amount. The ratio was perfect and boba was present to the final sip. read more
Small happy lemon next to St. John's burgers, which make parking a bit challenging when trying to find parking during lunch and dinner time during the weekdays. Quick service. Placed an order online as I was turning at the light; parked, walked in and my drinks were ready. Click "no straw" when ordering online since there is a charge for it. Just ask for a straw when you go in to pick up your drink. Drinks are made consistent here and are not overly sweet. There are 2 sizes medium/large and you can pick the sugar level, ice level and toppings for most drinks. When I want something fruity I stick with the mango lemon slush with aloe Vera. When I want a tea I stick to the basic boba milk tea with puff cream. read more

My Okinawa milk tea without boba was quite good. Milk tea with quality tea just makes it that much better. The staff was friendly and service was prompt. I was intrigued by their extensive menu and their lemon themed drinks. There were a few tables at the store, so it could be a nice hangout spot. I would come back and try some of their other drinks next time! read more
Always a fan of happy lemon! Super happy that this place was still open after dinner; we arrived around 9 pm and orders were taken quickly. The venue has a small seating area inside and outdoor seating. Got a Mango Green tea: Mango is my go to flavor, but this drink tasted watered down despite being 100% sweet. Refreshing but the quality could have been better and sweeter. read more

I'm a happy lemon. Happy about the servers being cool and staying open so late. Happy to be drinking boba with my person. Happy with the wood tables inside creating an environment. A sour lemon about the price, as it's definitely on the pricy side for a cheese foam drink. This is my reminder to get a cheese foam drink 50% sugar with crystal boba. Kicking myself. Metaphorically of course. A bit bland without the topping but I'm excited to come back and give it a round 2. May I just be a happy berry next time. Only sweet things ahead. read more

Staff was super friendly at this location. I forgot my rewards card so he told me to bring it next time with the receipt and he would add the points manually. I tried their Okinawa Fresh Milk Tea with boba for the first time and it was delicious. It was really creamy and not too sweet. They also gave a decent amount of boba and it was firm yet chewy. I also ordered my go to at Happy Lemon: Lemon Yakult with boba and it did not disappoint. Service was also pretty fast for a quiet Friday evening. I will definitely be back! read more
Even after all the other shops put salted cheese topping on their menu, Happy Lemon still is #1! It doesn't have that strange aftertaste that many other establishments seem to have and the salty and sweet combo are balanced perfectly with the creamy cheese. I love their strawberry green tea at 0% sugar because they blend fresh strawberry purée with the tea. It's such a refreshing drink, I find myself ordering it on really hot days and when I don't want anything creamy. For those that love lychee, their dragonfruit lychee juice is a great option too. I suggest lowering the sweetness since it's a juice and not tea (which provides some bitter notes) so it can get pretty sweet at normal sugar level. This drink has a great lychee flavor and a little purple dragonfruit pulp which is nice too! It comes with salted cheese but you can also order without it. read more

Happy Lemon is one of the better boba places in South Bay. My go-to order is the salted cheese green tea. I would suggest getting 50%-70% sweetness as the salted cheese also has some sweetness to it. My second go-to drink is the Mango- Yakult smoothie. This is very refreshing! I also would suggest getting 50-70% sweet as they put mango puree in it that can be very sweet. If you like sour drinks the dragon fruit lemon smoothie is a good choice. It has a very tart flavor. This specific location has plenty of parking and they accept Apple Pay! They also sell egg waffles in three different flavors. They are still taking COVID measures and the staff wears masks. This location also has great service and try to help customers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Overall, I would never skip an opportunity for Happy Lemon! read more

Happy Lemon is one of my favorite boba places within the bay area! I used to frequent this location often since it was close to my old work near Great America Parkway, so it was the perfect location for a quick lunch time drink. This area is still one of my favorite boba places to visit since the parking lot has a lot of space and the line is typically not very long. The team has even set up the ordering system that's COVID safe by having the area where you pay blocking off the door way. I usually order either a Green Tea with Salted Cheese or Black Tea with Salted Cheese (both with boba) and it usually depends on what I'm feeling that day. Both drinks are consistently delicious and it's hard to get enough of them. I wouldn't be able to chime in about the other drinks on the menu, but these two are great enough for me. As long as the drinks are this delicious every time, I'll be a customer for life. read more
