Tried cake custard milk tea and taro custard milk tea. Bubbles are pretty hard, can’t believe this kind of bubble materials still exists in a milk tea store. Taro is fake taro just taro flavored powder. Very disappointed.

Ordered the L Jasmine Green tea. Thankfully the worker gave me a heads up that their L drinks are the only way to get them iced or else, they are hot. Tastes great and customer service was very welcoming!

The worst bubble tea I’ve ever tried, it was supposed to be an iced drink, but I got a warm one, and when I asked about it, the cashier said that it probably melted😐. Won’t recommend this place to anyone!

Workers are super nice but the place is always dirty and the drinks are inconsistent. The garbage can is always overflowing and the there's garbage on the floor. As far as the drinks themselves, sometimes they taste delicious, but other times it'll be a bland blended drink.

This place is really cute and the bubble waffle was yummy. The menu has an interesting selection of teas, juices and smoothies. It's perfect for a quick bite or a sweet treat.

They overcharged me $45 for 6 waffles. They didn't know how to refund me because no management was there. The guy that took the order was not at all listening to my pick up order then when I went to pick it up my mistake was I just hit swipe then when they handed me th receipt and tried to give me 6 teas i didn't order on top of the 6 waffles I was like I didn't order that. I said 6 waffles and 6 cream cheese dips for the waffles. I feel like the guy who took my order just doesn't pay attention to detail. Well instead of the refund was forced into a gift card when I really should have my money back.
Then a few waffles were not fully cooked.
I hope management trains better I should have looked at the receipt before running my card.

I usually go to other Boba Stores in Evanston but decided to give Happy Lemon a try! The blonde worker was very sweet and recommended me my new fav drink! Also, the music the employee was playing was tickling my brain.

Very nostalgic boba tea shop for me. I grew up sipping happy lemon since college and still tastes the same everywhere I go! Matcha with RSC is always my order.

Been coming here past couple years, always like the team they have there but I got disappointed just now. There was two workers, the guy w curly hair and the blonde girl.
They took wrong orders, I ordered 3 but ends up having 5. Modification is all wrong, two of them having no crystal boba. Sweetness and ice levels didn’t match what we order. Same drinks but they all taste completely different.
If you want fruit based bubble tea, you go to Liquid fusion. There is no debate. If you want tea based bubble tea, a lot of options are available. But I like happy lemon, because I think they have the best cheese foam. Creamy, salty, and sweet. No other spot makes better cheese foam. Definitely adjust your ice and sweet lvl, 100% sugar is too sweet. Jasmine green tea with cheese, or mango matcha is really good.

Don’t go. Unless joy yees is closed and even then it’s not worth it. All frozen - and no natural fruit of any kind and crazy amount of sugar even though I asked for none.

Disappointing experience! There were no customers when I got in and every employee was talking to each other. They saw me walk in and the employee that I was approaching to just turned away from me while I was about to ask her about my online order. Next thing you know I had to shout out my that I have a pick up order so they would notice me(again while they were talking to each other)then that was the only time that a guy actually assisted me. Knowing that there were no customers when I came in and all employees were just talking to each other, I expected my order to be ready at least, but it was not ready!! I had to wait for my order for 15 more minutes since THEY JUST SAW MY ORDER RIGHT WHEN I ASKED FOR IT. Managers, please train your staff. Customer service is so bad. No one even said sorry knowing it was their fault. Never have I commented on other places but this experience was the worst that I wanted to do a review.

Green tea was incredibly over-steeped and bitter. Like undrinkably bitter. Paid 8 dollars with tip. Place also shockingly dirty. First and last time visiting. Considering the amount of bubble tea places in the area, I’m surprised they’re still going.

They have gotten my order wrong twice now. The boba was hard. Whenever I asked for an adjusted sugar level, the girl working just kinda smirked and did not put it in. I have been to other happy lemons and thought this one would be the same, but it is not; this location is not a happy lemon. It’s sad lemon.
