I hate to leave this review since I've had good experiences here in the past, but what happened last time I went (10/28) was just so unacceptable and I am still disgusted.
I ordered the dragon fruit/lychee juice salted cheese drink with aloe and every part of the drink was literally rotten. The drink part tasted fermented, old, and it clearly was not fresh. The aloe texture was way off (super bloated and gooey), tastes (again) fermented, and even had a sparkly carbonated feel - indicating it was in the process of fermentation.
Probably the worst part of it all was the salted cheese. It tasted like actual cheese! Like a very very stinky and pungent cheese. It was clear that the milk or cream cheese used had gone bad because I have never tasted that before in a cheese foam.
Overall, I had exactly 3 sips of this drink before throwing the entire thing in the trash where it belonged. I am still so mad that I paid almost $8.50 for this drink after tax and tip. It really sucks because I like Happy Lemon, but after this I don't think I'll ever go back. Clearly, this store has a significant issue with cleanliness and food safety.

Barista Ina is a hidden gem at Berkeley’s most underrated boba spot. Always positive, fast, and makes drinks that taste great!

The formula of classic milk tea is different from all other Happy Lemons that I've been to, and it taste weird. I don't know if it's the sugar or the tea that's different, but it's not how they make it in other franchise location.

They are extraordinary, impressive, one of a kind in messing up people's orders. I don't know how they manage to do that every single time. That's a skill. I have ordered boba five times here and been introduced to creative ways to screw up orders every single time. Once they got my order right, but gave me a wrong straw (Made for juice.. Too small for boba). Messing up once or twice might be a fluke, but messing up every single time, that's sheer negligence. No hard feelings, but please do better. Thank you!

Staff had a weird attitude, kept staring at me while I was waiting for my drinks. Also, I specifically asked for non-dairy milk because the drink was for my younger sibling who has a dairy allergy and I know I put in the order because it was on my receipt. I come home and give my brother the boba and his skin breaks out in hives and hour later! Cannot trust this location to get their orders right

i've been here 3 times now, and my usual is the strawberry shortcake. the first two times were perfect, but i went yesterday at around noon to get proven wrong. girl has the meanest look ever and barely interacted with me as if it was my fault she was working here. my drink didn't really taste of strawberry and was really icy instead of having its usual smooth consistency. maybe she was new, but i doubt it if she was left out alone to handle register and orders. if i come back and see her making drinks ever again i'm walking out asap

I won't trust this location again. Ordered for our group and two individuals including myself got the Mango Matcha Smoothie. Both who had drank the smoothies had food poisoning for two days, had tried to call the location no one picked up, tried to contact Happy Lemon through cooperate to inform them people had gotten sick never got a response.

I’ve gotten the same thing (matcha/mango smoothie) at various happy lemon locations but here it was off. It had little flavor and was disappointing considering it’s basically $8 if you get a topping. The shop itself was also run down compared to other locations I’ve been too.

My son and I were visiting Berkeley and stopped in for boba. The boba balls were perfectly chewy and the right sweetness. One of the best bobas I’ve had and our family drinks a lot of boba!
