    Checked Happy Lemon out with a friend while looking for cool cafe spots in the area. They have an array of boba drinks and milk teas and a few bubble waffle options. It's so bright and cheery in there, you can't help but go in with a smile! I love the yellow accent color. They have family friendly activities on each table like connect 4 and Jenga and their drinks are a good size. I didn't get a pic of ours and I don't remember the name of it unfortunately, but it was cool to try and I definitely want to go back for the strawberry shortcake drink! They seemed to have an influx of customers about 3:30pm so it seems like a popular spot!This is my first time learning about them, but they're definitely on my list of good drink spots in Tucson !

    Happy Lemon on Broadway and Swan is a bright and inviting boba spot, with colorful décor and big, appealing images that immediately catch your eye when you walk in. The menu offers a nice variety, and I tried the Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea, which had a deep, smoky tea flavor that I really enjoyed. The boba itself wasn't my favorite--the texture seemed a bit off, like it may have been sitting too long--but overall the drink was still good. What stood out most on this visit were the bubble waffles, which smelled amazing as soon as I walked in. They even offer a matcha flavor, which I'll definitely try next time. The shop is very clean and has a cheerful vibe. Service was friendly, though a little slow--we ordered through DoorDash, but the drink didn't seem to be started until after we arrived. Still, the atmosphere and variety make it a place I'd come back to.

    Everything is super yummy! Def recommend the bubble waffle and personally love the taro cream-type dip for it. All the drinks can be quite sweet but can always decide how sweet you'd like the drinks. I really like this Eastside location cause of the games on the tables, nice place to hang out with a group. The service is great that both bubble waffles and drinks get made pretty quick.

    This family-owned and operated business is such a gem. The interior is bright, clean, and incredibly welcoming the moment you walk in. Their matcha smoothies are flavorful and absolutely delicious! The bubble waffles are fantastic as well--my favorite is the Oreo cookie with the cream cheese frosting. It was a real pleasure supporting this wonderful local business.

    This is my favorite Boba tea shop in Tucson! I first discovered it while driving on Broadway--I saw the sign and decided to check it out since my hotel was just down the street. I've always loved Happy Lemon in LA, and even though Tucson has plenty of Ding Tea locations, I still prefer making the 20-minute drive here. Their tea is simply better, and their boba is always perfect. I also love their bubble waffle--it's the perfect snack, always fresh and delicious because they make it in-house. The service is great too; they even bring out the tea while I wait. The plaza can get busy, and parking fills up during peak hours, but I've never had trouble finding a spot.

    All the things to make you happy

    I love the fact that the lemon slush is here have actual lemon pieces in it. The fruit is so yummy in the drinks and they have so many options for tea when you get your bubble waffle you might think that the salted cheese for it might seem like an odd choice, but it is delicious and the perfect balance for the bubble waffle

    Super cute and vibrant space. Fun table games at each table. Friendly service and quick. Delicious bubble waffle and large selection of drinks.

    After seeing happy lemon in passing so many times, I'm glad I finally got the chance to stop in! It's a great tea shop/cafe with a good variety of drinks, yummy bubble waffles, and a fun space. Staff were friendly and service was quick. I liked the decor and looooved the mascot! Each table had board games, which I think is a nice touch and makes it a good hang out spot. There was a good variety of drinks; I didn't try a salted cheese drink this time around but I am super curious about them. The mango lemon slushy was delicious and the bubble waffle was good! I loved the taro puff cream dipping sauce for the waffle, I could probably eat it as it by the spoonful. Overall a great experience, and I'm def going to have to come back to try more of their menu!

    These are the best lemonades in town. I love the honey lemon green tea! It's like an agua Fresca with the full lemon blended into the drink and strained. It is so tangy and flavorful!!! The space is bright and clean, and service is great, too! A great spot to meet friends or get some computer work done.

    F10. Strawberry Shortcake

    Strawberry shortcake fruit smoothie so yummy. And the Oreo bubble waffle with salted cheese so yummy.

    Jenni K.

    Love coming here for bubble waffles and tasty drinks! Usually get the original or Oreo waffle and add puff cream. They make the waffles fresh. I mix it up with drinks - milk teas, yakults and lemon slushes. Also, highly recommend using the app for rewards. The space is very clean. They have games, too. Owner is very friendly. Decent parking and handicap accessible.

    Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson…read more I've been here a few times over the last year or so. It has never disappointed in service, quality or taste. (well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

There is outdoor seating with small tables and misters to stay cool. The inside has a good amount of space and A/C is on spot. There is also a bar with a good number of seats available. This might be first come first served but I am not totally sure. The food is a really good spread of options. Pancakes, german pancakes, french toast, eggs benedict(s) monte cristo, omelets, croque madame, country chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy, chilaquiles con pollo, avocado toast, savory crepe, and even a breakfast pizza. Oh and they offer a few skillet options too-southwest, loaded baked potato, and sausage and peppers skillet. So many options!! I can't speak too much for lunch but I did see burgers on the menu. Not too helpful in that arena sorry. The eggs Benedict with ham was awesome. Side of potatoes with a bit of all seasoning and a side salad with awesome light dressing comes with it. The dutch baby was also great. A german pancake served savory with sausage. Huge portion. Come check this place out and make sure if you don't want to wait you call in advance when driving there and ask to get on their "wait list" you may not be able to get a reservation but you can do this. You're welcome.
