Happy Lemon - MLK

Seattle Bubble Tea Gem!
Happy Lemon in Seattle, never disappoints! Their bubble tea is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just right. The salted cheese drinks are a must-try, especially the jasmine green tea version—rich, creamy, and so refreshing. The tapioca pearls are chewy and perfectly cooked every time. Staff are friendly and efficient, and the shop has a bright, cheerful vibe that makes waiting a pleasure. Whether you're grabbing a quick pick-me-up or chilling with friends, Happy Lemon is always a great choice. Highly recommended for any boba lover!

My go to spot

Came here after a nice long hike. So refreshing! The drinks were great. The Boba is more on the soft side. Got the chicken nuggets and they were so so good. Very flavorful and crunchie. The Lychee jellies are really good, probably my favorites. The bubble waffles were good. Nice texture. The flavor we tried was oreo. Would definitely go back again.

my taro boba had clumps of powder in it and I’ve noticed the quality of the drinks are funky I have tried many different boba from different shops and this is single handedly the worst shop yet I won’t be going here again

I was here last weekend there was a cashier that put hair on my drink and refused to change it this place is trash

Very meh. The waffle and popcorn chicken was great and the sauces were good. But the drinks were not good. But overall bad taste and texture. Not worth a retiring trip

Tapioca is always good but the flavor selection isn’t the best. They’re in their own lane, just isn’t always for me when it comes to selection.

Good treatment and very delicious drinks

Went to Happy Lemon - MLK. Super delicious and very fresh tasting. The atmosphere was very pleasant and cozy! Also, outstanding customer service!!! Highly recommended!!! Love love love it 😍!!

A lot of parking. Has alright costumer service and the food is decent. Nothing outside stand.

I like the milk tea here. I’ve been coming here for years. When they first opened, there was the owner’s son, he was super nice, but I haven’t seen him lately at the shop. Now, there’s a shortest girl employee behind the counter seemed like she’s never happy (just her).Every time I pick up drinks, she never says hi or thank you (even i always say hi and thanks) along with a face like I stole something.

I had ordered a chocolate bubble waffle. Everything was fine till half way eating it, I found this piece of plastic in my waffle! I am terrified to know if it was just a random string of plastic, or dental floss. Incredibly disgusting!!!

It seems like the owner needs to be more present, or perhaps there’s a need for better training and support for the staff. The service has been inconsistent, and it’s frustrating to see new employees who seem unsure of their roles. If the staff are feeling undervalued, it might be affecting their attitude, but maintaining a positive demeanor is crucial. If this isn’t working out, it might be worth considering different options. Unfortunately, the nearby boba shop hasn’t been great either.

Love this place! I come here every week. I’m a bobaholic and have tried drinks from numerous boba shops. Happy lemon is a staple for me. Can always find a delicious drink made with high quality ingredients. This location in particular makes great tapioca peals, chewy and sweet. i also recommend downloading their app to save and earn rewards!

Parking: Store in a plaza with lots of free parking.

Kid-friendliness: Many families come here. Has seating.

came here on friday with my boyfriend and the girl who took our order (she had a nose piercing) didnt seem like she was in the mood, and had a mean face. the other girl who gave us our drinks (i think her hair was brown not sure) also had a mean face and had a sassy tone to us. the food was good but im not coming back if the workers are flat out disrespectful to customers.
