This is a well-known Boba tea chain. The store itself is a bit small, but it offers traditional Asian teas that are hard to find in Washington State. Definitely worth stopping by—be sure to try the D13!
I had their unique matcha with salted cheese which was quite subtle but quite tasty. Great way to satisfy my matcha cravings on Christmas Eve. I also ordered the chocolate bubble waffle which was quite tasty although it wasn't quite cooked to perfection and did start to split in half from where the molds were pressed together. I was able to use my DoorDash credit for pickup here although everything is priced 50 cents more than ordering in person.
Great Drinks, Amazing Snacks, and Even Better People!!!
When you step into Happy Lemon, it’s not just about the milk tea and popcorn chicken—it’s about the warm, welcoming vibe that makes you feel like a regular, even on your first visit.
Milk Tea: Creamy, Customizable, and Always Perfect
The milk tea here is consistently on point. Whether you’re a boba aficionado or just dabbling, their teas strike the perfect balance between creamy richness and bold tea flavor. The staff is always happy to help you customize sweetness levels or suggest toppings that elevate your drink to something truly special.
Popcorn Chicken: Crunchy and Irresistible
And then there’s the popcorn chicken. It’s everything you want in a snack—crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. One of the staff even let me in on their favorite combo: pairing the chicken with a slightly less sweet tea for the ultimate savory-sweet balance.
A Team That Makes You Smile
The staff here really shines. They’re efficient but never rushed, always ready with a smile or a quick chat about their favorite drinks on the menu. Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, they make you feel like you’re part of the Happy Lemon family.
If you’re in the Bay Area and looking for more than just great bubble tea, Happy Lemon delivers on every front: delicious drinks, amazing snacks, and a team that makes every visit feel special.
We got the new vietnamese coffee with puff cream and had the strawberry shortcake drink along with a side of paprika popcorn chicken. The vietnamese coffee was nice and strong if you're looking to stay up all night or need extra spare of energy to get those studying in. Strawberry drink is for you if you like shortcake and have a sweet tooth. You can never go wrong with fresh popcorn chicken. Their chicken has a hint of sweetness from the juice of the chicken. I just wish the chicken was spicier. Otherwise, this place received my Q/Q (quality and quantity)
The establishment is very dirty. Dirty floors. Dirty windows. The bathroom is disgusting.

Just okay boba shop. So far I have given this place multiple chances by coming back each time and try different items.Most of the items are just decent milk tea and nothing special. The only thing I could recommend is passion fruit green tea.
Parking: Plenty of free parking lots in the shopping center
Kid-friendliness: They have waffles and milk teas.

I ordered an oreo bubble waffle, but I received a different flavor, most likely chocolate. My sister had ordered oreo before, and this did not taste like that waffle. My friend overheard that the employee (ID: 175801) might have given me the wrong order on purpose so that he could bring the oreo one to his mom. I wanted to give the waffle to my mom, as well. By the way, the chocolate waffle did not taste good. :(
