Tried the Mango Orange Milk Tea in Soymilk with 25% sugar and 25% ice. It was perfect. Crystal Boba is very nice. They were out of Mango boba though, would love to try that next time.

I enjoyed my strawberry green tea and also the lychee jelly add-on. Happy Lemon has been my favorite boba shop for many years. And I believe that the people who work here work very hard, tip them, please and thank you. Even if it is a small tip, I'm sure they'll appreciate it. (There's a jar for college funds!) I forgot her name but I was in the shop this (10/29/25) afternoon around 3pm and she was very kind, friendly, and hard working and made my drink with care and right away. I did not feel uncomfortable at all being here and she made the brief experience very worthwhile for the drive. Thank you!

Service is very slow. I waited over 5 minutes to be acknowledged which was almost enough time to make an order online after I was already in the store. I thought the whole point of ordering in was that service would be faster but not at this location.

Happy Lemon holds a special place in my heart. The first boba tea I ever tried was from HL. Though I've tried others over the past few years, Happy is my favorite, and I have the expanded waistline to prove it. One of these days, I'm going to be healthy and start drinking just water, but until then, it's Happy Lemon for me and my pansa.

The waitress was disrespectful to the clients and treated different clients in different ways. We purchased two cups of tea today. When we tried to order, no one came to assist us, and we waited around 5 minutes before we could place our order. After the order was ready, the waitress didn’t inform us. She could see that we had been standing there waiting for a long time, yet she ignored us and didn’t tell us our order was ready. In contrast, she placed a white man’s (who came after us) cup on the tray and put the tray in front of him. After that, we asked her, and she told us that our orders were ready. Even when we expressed our disappointment, the waitress just said sorry and then left. I believe I encountered racial discrimination. I won’t be coming here again.

Service is great. Bunch of options for your Boba, refreshing and sweet ones. Also the bubble waffle are great. Honestly this is my to go place for tea.

It used to be really good, especially the roasted Okinawa milk tea—it was amazing.
But lately, it’s become pretty tasteless. Not sure what changed, but the difference is really noticeable. 👎🏻
Recently, they filled half the cup with tapioca balls—not sure what they’re going for.
This is just an another bubble tea option now.

don’t sleep on happy lemon. the boba texture is actually pretty good and my friends are obsessed with their cheese foam. prices are pretty reasonable too for the bay($5-7)

I ordered the black tea with salted cheese 25 percent sweetness. Love their salted cheese, really good flavor of savory and a hint of salt. One of the best salted cheese out there imo.
Their black tea was pretty good. It had a nice flavor, not watered down today compared to other boba shop.
I noticed their tea tastes different from day to day. Sometimes it’s water down sometimes it’s strong. But their salted cheese has been consistent every visit.
I think this location is a lot better than the other locations I been to in the Bay Area.
Ordered drinks on door dash. My order was cancelled 2 times because they were taking too long to make the drinks. Don’t accept DD orders if you cannot accommodate. Just turn the machine off, don’t be greedy, allow a different location to supply the drinks. It’s ridiculous!

Good ambience. Clean place. Milk Tea could be made better. Ratio of milk to tea could be made more palatable.
