I went to Happy Lemon at 4:26 PM, and the staff told me they were on a break and would be back at 5 PM. Since Google Maps said they close at 8 PM, I decided to go shopping nearby and returned at 6:06 PM—only to be told they were closed for the day. Very disappointed with the inconsistent information and lack of communication.

I really like this place. I ordered the Fresh Passionfruit Mango Green Tea with 50% sweetness and boba, and just like always, it was very very delicious. Even though it’s located in a food court and had a small line, we didn’t wait long.

This location usually has poor service or they often ran out of something.

The last two times we have tried this location, they were out of boba AND waffles. You know, the two things they’re famous for.

Maybe it’s not their fault? But try telling a kid who earned a bubble waffle for good behavior that they’re out again.

Great place if you want to practice disappointing your child.

A bubble waffle 🧇 with cream sauce is good!

The drink itself was okay but the boba was hard. I wish I would have read the reviews before coming here. Disappointed with this location.

I've been coming here the last 2 months. I always get the Jasmine Green Tea to pair with my lunch. A friend recommended me the Black Tea w/ Salted Cheese and that has become my favorite. My son loves their Oreo waffles. The staff is always friendly, quick and professional. Hygiene is a big thing for me and the staff always wears gloves when prepping. Over all, it's worth a visit if you're at Fashion Island.

Kid-friendliness: It's a food court so you'll see families with kids hanging out.

I tried their fresh squeezed lemon jasmine green tea. The tea itself was delicious but I would definitely avoid all of their "add ons". I added Boba and egg pudding to my drink. The Boba was not fresh at all, likely made the previous day with hard center and mucus like outside (evidence of being refrigerated and not fresh). The egg pudding was hard like hard tofu with the typical "pudding skin" of clearly old pudding. Service was good, nice and polite staff. But clearly they don't use fresh ingredients. Likely won't return to this location.

Today afternoon I purchased one of the drinks there with boba and I really enjoyed it. However, while drinking it, minding that I was halfway done with the drink, I found a small gem from probably a nail accessory after biting into it. While this did not affect the taste of the drink, I was disappointed to find an unexpected item in it. I understand that accidents can happen, however, I hope the workers would take extra precaution in making/preparing the ingredients for the drinks(possibly wearing gloves)
