I kept forgetting that Vacaville has a Happy Lemon location. After a very LONG day driving on the road, I decided to stop at this Happy Lemon location to treat myself and the baby growing in my belly. The establishment is quite nice on the inside. The decor is bright, yet inviting. There are also some tables and seats to enjoy your treats inside. The employees I encountered were friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Since it was my first time there, I took a little bit to review the menu without them getting irritated (there was also no one behind me). My drink was quite refreshing, while my bubble waffle was delicious. I ordered the mango orange milk tea, which was very refreshing for the warm day that I went. Both my tea and the bubble waffle were neither too sweet (I adjusted the sweetness of my tea) and hit the spot. I look forward to visiting again soon! read more

Slow as hell. I placed an order online with a promise time of 6:37pm. I arrived at 6:35 and was told they're still working on my order. Even at 6:50 the staff told me it would take another 10 minutes. I check the app online order at 7pm and it says order cancelled/refund. No explanation why, no notification of cancellation. So I wasted 30 minutes waiting for nothing because the app doesn't tell anyone when an order is cancelled. Then when I placed an order it took about 20 minutes for 2 drinks and a couple bubble waffles. Wtf. Extremely dissatisfied. read more

I really enjoyed this spot. I was visiting out of town and my family wanted to order Boba. We put in an order by mobile device and we placed an order of about 18 drinks. They told us that it would be ready in about 15-20min from when we ordered. When we arrived they had the drinks ready and we divided up the drinks. Every drink was made very well and to the "T". No errors. That is very impressive in my book. My Mango smoothie was very good. Sweet and tart and delicious. My kids got a green tea lemonade with Boba and they wanted more lemonade flavor.. The bubble waffles were very tasty. We got an oreo and a regular. It came with a butter cream that was a bit savory and went really well with the waffle. It was delicious. The area is also very big and it fit us all with extra space. We love this Boba spot and we always try and come here when we are in town. There none in SoCal so we'll be back! read more

The two ladies working here this evening were so sweet and hard working. We came in right before rush hour and they helped us with the order. The waffles here are delish as are the drinks. So much so, that I decided to order drinks to go-- and it was RUSH HOUR. They were patient as many ppl in front of me asked LOTS of questions. They didn't rush anyone. They stayed smiling and happy. Truly impeccable customer service and drive! read more

I love the strawberry shortcake! Usually get it with aloe! The service was excellent, both people working in front were very friendly. The store is always clean and I love the open lay out! Good spot to relax and socialize :) read more

Happy lemon has some of the best flavored milks teas, smoothies, and hot drinks. Today we got a mango matcha milk tea, strawberry shortcake smoothie, and an Oreo waffle. Plenty of Boba options available and a tasty "cheese" option for hot drinks. I come here mostly for their bubble waffles. They have dipping sauces which are delicious! Order ahead and use their app for rewards. I always get great customer service at this location. read more

I was really surprised by the low-ish rating on Yelp (just under 4.0 at the time I saw it). I think it's likely due to the initial novelty wave creating a longer than usual wait. When I went in at 1pm on a Saturday there was nobody. So I didn't have any complaints at all! The shop looks super clean without any overpowering cleaner smells. The cashiers were friendly and patient with us. The drinks were made very quickly. Lots of seating available. Cute decor. I got the mango Yakult smoothie (no modifications) and really enjoyed it! It is a little pricy for boba. For two drinks plus tip it came out to $14. I'd be happy to come back again! read more

Tried this place for the first time and had a good experience overall. Our drinks were tasty and came out pretty fast, and the snacks we ordered were solid too. There's plenty of seating inside, and the decor is ok The staff was friendly and welcoming, which is always a plus. Prices are just okay -- maybe a bit higher than some other places -- but still worth checking out if you're in the area and want something fun and quick. read more

I've been a loyal Happy Lemon customer for years, visiting locations all over--from Sacramento and San Francisco to San Jose and Los Angeles. This is, hands down, the worst location I've been to. Despite several chances, this store continues to disappoint. I even came back recently after seeing a promising promotion (attached)--hoping they'd finally turn things around. Unfortunately, the experience just reinforced why I hesitate to return. There's zero effort to support the local community--no military or first responder discounts, and no sense of hospitality or brand pride. The store feels indifferent at best, uninviting at worst. Restrooms? Not available. Air conditioning? Turned off, even on hot days. Very slow vibe. It's clear they're cutting corners wherever they can--at the customer's expense. This is a textbook example of poor business practices and a complete failure to live up to the Happy Lemon name. Other locations get it right. This one doesn't even come close. read more

We came here to try the bubble waffles, and they did not disappoint. They were good. They also have a great selection of boba drinks. My personal favorite is the Dark Brown Sugar Milk Tea, it tastes amazing every time. Definitely a solid spot for both sweet treats and refreshing drinks. read more

Tried this for the first time, I ordered the dragon fruit lemon slush and it was very tasty. I was a little bummed out that I couldn't modify the sweetness but the lemon balanced it out for me. Drink quality aside, I went on a Sunday afternoon, nobody was in there when I went and there were two workers there. I waited over 10 minutes for my drink and my friend's drink. Seems like a long time to wait for a drink that had an already premade base. By the time the drink was finally ready, I was ready to go from waiting so long. I've never had to wait that long for a few drinks at a boba place before especially when it was empty when I ordered. read more

I always get happy lemon whenever in in the area. I always get the A8 which is a black milk tray with salted cheese and boba. Their boba is a hit or miss sometimes. But the drink itself is always good. Salted cheese is a must if you haven't gotten happy lemon ever in your life. Service was ok. Definitely can improve. Workers were a little rude when I asked for a straw. But the drink made up for it. Ambiance inside is usually the same for all happy lemons. Plenty of seats inside but no outdoor seating unfortunately. read more

So happy that one of my favorite boba places is close by to me! I'll always be a happy lemon stan. And when I first found out about this location, I was coming here every week. Even though it's a newer location, it feels like every other happy lemon spot that's been open for awhile. The employees make every drink to perfections and I hadn't yet had a bad drink here. The only con that I encountered was that I placed a mobile order in store instead of waiting in the line. I never got a notification that my drink was ready, and then saw that someone in line after me had already gotten their drinks. So I probably waited about 20 min (which was way too long) before finally asking the employee at the counter if my order was ready. And of course it was, they were just waiting for me to come to add the salted cheese. I wish that they had shouted out my name or sent me a text notification like it had originally promised so I didn't have to wait that long. read more

I usually love Happy Lemon but this location is horrible. I came here around 1 pm on 6/4/2025. First we waited about 10 minutes to order with no one in front of us in line. Then to receive our drinks we waited about 25 minutes. When I got my drink I was so disappointed. I ordered the Ube Milk Tea with Taro Puff Cream. This is what I got. It tasted so watered down and it was gray. Then to top it off there was a tiny bit of puff cream only in the bottom. It wasn't good, I couldn't drink it. I asked them to remake it and it was the same. I will not be coming to this location anymore. read more

I come here on a monthly basis to use up my Ubereats credit from my AMEX cards. I get the green milk tea with tapioca. I like the consistency in the way the drink tastes. I wish their ubereats menu wasn't so limited though. I want to try their newer drinks like their Thai tea. This Happy Lemon is more crowded on weekend afternoons as well as weekdays after work. I sometimes stay and work on stuff at the table that has an outlet nearby. Unfortunately the parking lot outside is poorly designed and overcrowded. You may need to be careful to not get hit while navigating the poorly designed lot. read more

Everything about this was very relaxing. The workers got everything right as far as me and my family's order. When it came down to the food everything was perfect. I got a strawberry green tea (semi-sweet) with an egg puff and taro dip. read more

Sad to have to do a follow-up review on this boba shop. My husband wanted to treat me with something sweet so I opted for Happy Lemon because I haven't been in a while. I decided to utilize their app to order ahead of time so that way it will be ready by the time he picks it up after coming home from work. I saw on the app that it would be ready by 7:40pm but my husband got there a little too early. He went in right at 7:40pm as that was when it mentioned it should be ready by but unfortunately, it was not. My husband had to go through the struggle of asking the staff about the order. He was standing at the counter asking about his order that he can clearly see in front of him but it was missing a puff cream. The worker said they were gonna go and put some in a cup but never did and instead just kept making drinks. My husband had to remind and ask again and the worker ended up saying the same thing that they needed to go make some puff cream. My husband also noticed that they were making drinks and putting them out on the counter as they were ready but not calling out the orders to give it to the customers. This caused a long wait time to the point that my husband didn't get the order until 20min after it was supposed to be ready when the intention of me ordering ahead of time was to be able to avoid a long wait. My husband even heard one of the workers say "you came at the wrong time.." under their breath since it sounded like there was a lot going on... which I can see why the worker would be so stressed out but it's also important to have good customer service as well. read more

I do the SF-Tahoe drive quite a bit for work, and this is one of my ritualistic refuel spots during the drive. Good boba and bubble waffle, but they've always delivered exceptional crema (salted cheese) teas, which is my go-to these days for lower calories as part of my middle-aged-dude-with-slower-metabolism package. Can't really go wrong with 'em. Efficient service, chill seating area too if your a teen who wants an afternoon hangout. read more

Be specific with your requests. Ask if drinks can be modified, sweetness cannot be changed on some drinks and they won't tell you. They also won't admit to missing toppings or getting ice level wrong. It's a nice place to hang out plenty of seating I wish they brought back the Taro balls read more

Overall the location offers what I would expect from other happy lemon locations. The location has easy parking, the interior is kept very clean and the service is quick and friendly. It is a good spot to sit down and socialize over a sweet treat. My only area of improvement would be to be mindful of the volume of the employees speaker, sometimes they play the music a little too loud but are receptive to changing the volume when need be. Thank you! read more

Service is hit or miss. When placing a mobile order something is usually off or missing and because I need to be in and out I don't have time to get it corrected. I cant be 100% confident that I get what I order anytime I mobile order so hopefully they get to the point of consistency to improve the customer experience. As much as I'm happy to have one near me the experience of picking up my order is unfortunately is also a hit or miss. Most times I stop by there's usually someone soliciting near the entrance but the interior is at least clean and organized. read more

One of my favorite boba spots! The milk teas never disappoint, but I also love that the selection is varied and has something for everyone.

Quality and tastes of the drinks are amazing but it's not worth waiting 30 minutes when there is only 2 customers in the store.

What happened to working for your paycheck. read more

I am a big fan of Happy Lemon, but I've had some disappointing experiences lately. The first time I visited, I added regular sugar to my Green Tea, but it tasted like there was almost no sugar at all. Today, I returned and ordered three drinks, two of which were supposed to come with boba, but they forgot to include it again. I always drive a long way from Suisun City to Vacaville whenever I crave boba, and I've always chosen Happy Lemon, but these recent issues have left me feeling disappointed. I hope you can resolve these problems! read more

Yay!!! A Happy Lemon that's close by to my hometown! So excited to see more popular boba locations appear. The quality of the drinks here is consistent with the other locations throughout the Bay. I ordered a passion fruit tea with boba. The boba was cooked perfectly and was nice and chewy. I requested for my drink to be less sweet so the sweetness was perfect for me. I got my drinks pretty quickly after ordering, and there was a bit of people waiting inside too. Will be coming back here a lot to get my happy lemon craving fixed! read more

Did I go here twice in one day? Yeah Did I like the drinks I gotten here? Absolutely Did I get a sugar high that prevented me from sleeping the entire night? Most definitely When I first went here I got the dragonfruit lychees juice with sea salt cream & boba with less ice & 100% sweetness. This drink is phenomenal, if you like sweet fruity drinks with a slight saltiness in it I would highly recommend getting this. My friend ordered this before & she allowed me to take a sipe of it & I instantly fell in love with the drink. The second drink that I got here is the black tea with sea salt cheese( less ice & 100% sweetness). This drink is more towards the sweet yet mellow side, the salted cheese cream adds a dimension of sweet & saltiness pairing. I do recommend mixing the drink when you get it to get that nice sweet & salty tasty. I do must say, if you do get this drink you are going to be super caffeinated from how much caffeine black tea has. The service at this happy lemon was good, when I first ordered my drink the cashier ask if I was interested to be apart of their rewards program & gave me a cute membership card, in which if you get enough points you get a free drink! The ambiance at this happy lemon has a nice welcoming college boba town vibe to it. The decor really shows off the happy & friendly attitude of happy lemon. There's tv's near the registers that displays advertisements of the various drinks they sell at Happy Lemon. Overall I enjoyed my experience trying the boba here! read more

Ok...so the menu can be a bit intimidating if you don't frequent this place. I've been to others before so I had an idea of what I wanted. However, others that are first timers or taking their time, it may take longer. This is where I wish I could order via doordash/Yelp/Postmates for pick up- maybe soon? There is an option to scan the QR code that is posted in the front of the store and place an order. But at that point, I'm already in line. Inside is clean, lots of tables, plenty of parking- some in front but parking and walking isn't too bad either. I've had the jasmine salted cheese- pretty good - and I prefer that on a warm/hot day, Okinawa boba milk tea add puff cream too or any boba milk tea add egg pudding and it's a sweet treat. I'd like to come back and try their lemon and matcha series. read more

Tried Happy Lemon in Vacaville- First time in my hometown , I've tried it in Concord (been awhile), we went before closing- wasn't busy- also the weather, it has been raining. I tried the Ube Milk Tea with Taro Puff Cream and Boba- I would get this again- you can also adjust the sweetness and Ice level. My hubby got the Matcha Latte with Tiramisu Salted Cheese. We didn't have any expectations, but we loved it! Salted Cheese gives the Boba a good mix with Salty and Sweet- 10/10- We will be back! read more

Went here twice in one day because I'm obsessed with their boba lol. The ambience is calm, and the inside is spacious with a lot of seating options that gives it more edge compared to the other locations. Their menu is extensive, same as the other locations, so you'll always have options if you want to try something new. The menu can be overwhelming for a first-timer, but they have a Top 10 Drinks list to narrow down the options. The service was quick and easy, and the cashier also mentioned about the points system that I had no idea about up until that point. So I asked them to sign me up for the points system and they did it no problem. The drinks I got: Fresh Mango Juice with Salted Cream - It's good and definitely tastes like fresh mango, but there's a weird aftertaste that I'm not too fond of. It's moreso just a personal preference thing. Fortunately I was able to finish it without a problem. Overall, it's not something I would get as my first choice, but it's definitely better than the fresh mango juice I've tried at other places. Black Tea with Salted Cream - Now this one I am a big fan of. I can see why it is number one on the Top 10 Drinks list. The tea is sweetened, and the salted cream counters the sweetness well. A perfect combo to make the perfect drink. This is now on my personal go-to drinks list whenever I visit Happy Lemon! read more

WELCOME TO VACAVILLE HAPPY LEMON!!! After waiting what feels like years one of my most fave bubble tea shops is finally less than 30 mins away from me!!! Grand opening was 9/17/2022! Did I line up for their BOGO deal? Hells yaaaaa! Grand opening line was pretty long but our wait was less than an hour. The inside is pretty big. Probably the biggest happy lemon I've ever been to. I love how bright it is inside as well as the fun, lemon-y wall art. Menu is nothing different than other Happy Lemons'. They have their top drinks menu on display and big TV screens for the menu and to see an ETA of your order. They also serve bubble waffles here too!! *clapping emoji* Since they've opened, I think I've been here almost once a week... addiction? Obsession? Whatever it may be, I'm happy :,) My top drinks? Tbh it really depends on my craving for the day but my go tos are usually: Ube Milk tea + taro puff cream Mango Orange MT Grapefruit & Yakult + salted cheese Milk tea + salted cheese Milk tea + taro puff cream Dragonfruit lemon slushy read more
