Horrible all around. I got the ube milk tea with taro cream puff. The tea tasted bitter, with undertones of plastic (not kidding, unfortunately). Boba was grainy, sweetness and ice level were wrong. I couldn't even get halfway through my drink, despite ordering one of my all-time favorite bubble teas.

Service was meh, can't blame them though because it was busy. Acoustics sucked and made me wish I had brought earplugs even for just the few minutes I was inside. Have been to several other happy lemons in the Bay and PNW and never had anything less than a good experience, let alone as bad as this one. Quite sad.

Many good options

I looove their classic milk tea! I’m not even a big boba fan, but their blend is so good. We always get it to go since seating is limited and parking can be tricky.

Pro tip: download the app - you get a free drink after 10. Just wish you didn’t have to re-add your card every time. Great location overall!

They made a mistake with the amount of ice in my order and instead of apologizing the lady at the counter was very rude.

I visited the one on 4th Street. It’s usually a little busy in the evenings. Good place to try out. They have many options for milk tea, brewed teas. I tried Okinawa fresh milk boba with salted cheese. It was delicious. Must try

The boba tea is well priced but I thought the tea could have tasted better. I would recommend coming here if you live locally.

This boba tea spot is fantastic! They offer a wide variety of refreshing drinks with all the traditional boba tea flavors you’d expect. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic milk tea or something more adventurous, they’ve got plenty of options to choose from. The boba is perfectly chewy, and the drinks are consistently delicious. A great spot to satisfy your bubble tea cravings!

They got my order wrong, blamed it on me and instead of remaking my drink poured some sugar in and asked me to mix it myself. Very disrespectful to the customers.

I dont know, I guess I cant tell a good boba place from a bad one — they are all the same! It’s sweet, with some tea, some milk, and some boba. Efficient order system. They didnt ask me sugar level when I ordered, so it came with a default 100% sugar!!! But if they had asked me I’d still go with 100% sugar anyways. I dont wanna make myself feel good about a bad decision by lowering sugar level in a boba drink. I also had the waffle - it’s huge! I wish its taste has as big of a personality as its size.

It was pretty slow when I was there, but service was great and my order came up quick. Tried the salted cheese topping for the first time and I gotta say it's pretty damn good! I'll definitely be returning, wish they had a punch card!

Super cute spot with helpful staff. I had a boba milk tea with puff cream. Delicious. They also have freshly cooked bubble waffles that smell heavenly.

Some of the best tasting boba I have had here in the city. Parking is not the best but I haven’t had too much of an issue with that. I had the waffle puff and it was airy and delicious. I recommend the mango boba or the milk tea with puff cream. The place is very clean and staff is nice. My favorite spot to get boba.
