I went to happy lemon and left a happy lemon lol it was a great place I walked in they were a bit busy and I was still greeted with smiles!! I was new to this place and the lady helped me with my order and I ended up getting a mango lemonade and to my surprise the lemonade had pieces of fruit inside and it blew my mind because it took it to an entire new level I was really amazed!. I’d definitely go back again! W

Happy Lemon is a brand new addition to the Vacaville area and it’s a welcome one. This is the kind of boba spot you usually only see in places like San Francisco or Concord, so having it nearby is a big win for the local scene.
From the moment you walk in, the space feels clean, bright, and refreshing. The staff greets you as you enter, and the overall atmosphere is inviting and modern. The menu is large and easy to follow, with clear sections that help you find what you are craving. You can also customize your drink by adjusting the sugar level, amount of ice, and toppings, which is great if you want something a little more tailored.
We were excited to try this location so close to home and we’ll definitely be back more than once a month. One thing to note, the boba pearls were warm when added to the iced drink, which gave the first few sips a different flavor and texture than we expected. It was not bad, just a little unexpected, but the texture stayed consistent and the drink overall was still enjoyable.
The service stood out. The staff was respectful, helpful, and stayed active the entire time. Everyone was moving, making drinks, and keeping the line flowing. No one was just standing around, which added to the professional feel of the place.
It’s exciting to see more quality boba shops like this opening locally. Happy Lemon is a strong addition to Vacaville and worth visiting. Follow me and friend me for more real reviews that help you find new favorites worth your time.

I’ve been a loyal Happy Lemon customer for years, visiting locations all over—from Sacramento and San Francisco to San Jose and Los Angeles. This is, hands down, the worst location I’ve been to.
Despite several chances, this store continues to disappoint. I even came back recently after seeing a promising promotion (attached)—hoping they’d finally turn things around. Unfortunately, the experience just reinforced why I hesitate to return.
There’s zero effort to support the local community—no military or first responder discounts, and no sense of hospitality or brand pride. The store feels indifferent at best, uninviting at worst. Restrooms? Not available. Air conditioning? Turned off, even on hot days. It’s clear they’re cutting corners wherever they can—at the customer’s expense.
This is a textbook example of poor business practices and a complete failure to live up to the Happy Lemon name. Other locations get it right. This one doesn’t even come close.

The drinks were decent and the waffle tasty but the wait times are ridiculous. I've been here twice and even with just a few people in line, it's taken 30+ minutes to get our drinks.

Drinks are ok. Makes it worse they charge you extra for boba and then get all the way home and they don’t even put it in the drink. Be sure to check for what you pay for before you leave. This place is making extra money off people.

They forgot my boba.

This store is so so slow. Been here several times and every time it’s slow. Even if you order in the app in advance. If you want boba please save your time and go somewhere else. Their drinks are not worth the hassle or the price.

They must grow the tea there cause you wait a loooong time. Taste is good though

The drink taste awful and the service was super slow.
We came in on a Sunday evening. We ordered in store. It took over an hour from the time we walked in until we got our order. The people working were nice, but seemed very unprepared and did not know how to handle the influx in orders or mistakes. I waited 40 minutes to get a waffle and a drink. When my order number was called, the waffle was super cold because they let it sit out too long waiting for the drink order to pair with it. I raised this with the team and they said I could wait 20 minutes for another one. I had to ask for my money back, which took another 10+ minutes and two team members. They seemed very unprepared and shied away from providing customer service because they knew people were upset.
My experiences here have been way too inconsistent. I don’t think I would come back.

The drinks are very good and the people nice. However, I would never bring my kids there when there’s always music playing with foul language or very inappropriate tv. Please make it at least kid friendly.

They offer mobile orders. But if you try to place an order while there is a line with one cashier, good luck! I tried that. They have to accept the order first before your drinks go thru. Might as well stay in the line. Also, Make sure you go up and tell them your order number because I don't think they call mobile orders out. I was waiting there for 2 minutes and I noticed they put their drink away from mobile orders while I was in there
