    Stop by here before dinner next door at Ipoh Kopitiam. You can find parking in the back or the underground parking lot. This is a nice cozy boba spot. Nice and clean. The one person that works there at the time of our visit was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the F10 - Strawberry Shortcake Smoothie and the H5 - Mango Lemon Slushy. Both were pretty tasty and refreshing.

    This store is severely understaffed. There is only one person making the drinks and taking orders. I had to wait 35+ minutes for a drink. Store was mostly empty too.... The sole employee in the store was nice and very apologetic. Honestly, it must have been stressful for him to manage the store by himself, I can't blame him. The store management needs to consider hiring more staff, as waiting more than half an hour for a drink at an empty store is completely unacceptable. Also, they ran out of black tea, which is their signature drink...*insert surprised pikachu face* Taste wise, the drinks are ok. Not bad, but not amazing. Other tea shops in the surrounding area like Chicha, Molly, Formosa Aroma, and UG tea are much better experiences imo.

    When I browse for a deal on app and Happy Lemon shows up and it's 0.1 mile from my location. Happy lemon is fairly new bubble tea shop at Alhambra originally from Taiwan. It's located inside Regent plaza. It's small, bright yellow, and looks clean. Service is friendly. The location does offer private parking at back. Please note they do not have restroom, but do have some small tables and seats. I ordered Okinawa milk tea with 75% sweetness and 75% ice plus boba. You need to shake the drink like 10 times and there is sugar syrup or honey at bottom. The drink itself is tasty, sweet, even the boba is very sweet. There is some honey or special sugar syrup taste. Boba is soft, and overall is tasty.

    Mango Pandan Sticky Rice Smoothie

    Okay!! So despite this place being open for a while, I've never had a drink here until now. I think my initial impression has already been that was just another boba shop in the area. But their new Mango Pandan Sticky Rice Smoothie piqued my interest and so I decided to give this place a try. So it's essentially a mango smoothie base with some bits of a Pandan flavored mochi along the side of the drink. It's much thinner than your typical mochi (don't expect to really chew it) but flavor-wise, the Pandan is on point. The mango portion includes bits of real pulp with what I also believe is a mix of some type of syrup. So do the two flavors work well together? Hmmm. The Pandan combined with mango is interesting. It's either due to the fruit and/or syrup, but the overall mango flavor is a lot more tangy, and it is a bit of a contrast between the more subtle taste of Pandan. I did get my drink at 75% sweetness, and I think that probably meant more mango which did end up dominating the flavor profile. My sister who got the 50% sweetness said she really liked it though--I think that might be the sweet spot to better balance both flavors. Overall, I really do like how such an interesting idea came into fruition and ultimately recommend people try it out for themselves! I hope Happy Lemon continues to test out new flavors and look forward to coming back in the future.

    Egg Waffle

    Not many stores have bubble waffles on the menu, so I'm really glad that I can find them at Happy Lemon. This place is my go-to for bubble waffles, especially since my partner and I really enjoy them. There are various flavors like original, matcha, oreo, and even boba waffles. Matcha is my favorite flavor and I would recommend it to all matcha lovers. The waffles are always served with a warm, crispy exterior and a soft, airy interior. Despite the fact that I'm a fan of the bubble waffles here, I can't say the same for their drinks. I have tried a few drinks like Green Tea with Salted Cheese, Oreo Milk Tea, and Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea with Boba. The boba wasn't soft or chewy like it should be. I would say the drinks here are average at best, while the cups are quite flimsy. For seating, there are a few tables inside, but it doesn't seem like a great spot for large groups.

    I had a good experience at Happy Lemon (Alhambra). I ordered the Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea with Boba ($6.75 - 75% Sugar). It's refreshing!! The drink carries fresh, crisp tea with a satisfying, light sweetness. Most importantly, the boba is fresh, perky, bouncy, and sweet. YUM! I arrived at Happy Lemon (Alhambra) on Tuesday (around 12:35PM). Parking is simple if familiar with the area. There's a hidden underground parking garage behind Happy Lemon (Alhambra). Personally, I parked at a nearby neighborhood and walked to avoid the zooming cars. This business is located near a busy, congested intersection (Garfield Ave & Valley Blvd), so be careful. It's across the street from The Hat. Happy Lemon (Alhambra) does not have a self-service kiosk; customers order at the counter. Staff is professional, welcoming, and hardworking. Staff happily answered all my questions. Staff maintained a bright, pleasant demeanor throughout my visit. My drink took one minute and 31 seconds. Fast! As mentioned, I enjoyed the Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea with Boba ($6.75 - 75% Sugar). The immediate flavor is crisp, fresh tea. The drink is not watered down nor overly milky. Rather, the drink tasted good quality and refreshing. Regarding the boba, the pearls are soft, but it's still perky and bouncy. These fresh pearls also carry a pleasant sweetness. I felt happy as I sipped. Concerning the ambiance, Happy Lemon (Alhambra) is comfortable and clean. The scent of sugary waffles wafted within. There's also utility! This business has customer internet with password; customers must talk to staff for details. There's also two electrical outlets and a gender neutral restroom with a code. I also enjoyed the upbeat music. However, Happy Lemon (Alhambra) is small. There's only three tables and a counter. Also, there's visible signs of aging from scratched paint and lightly scuffed marks. Regardless, the bright yellow lemon decor continues to shine attractively and warmly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Happy Lemon (Alhambra). The location is welcoming; the staff is friendly; and the boba is delicious. If nearby, this is an easy recommendation. 4.8 out of 5!

    First time stopping by, good size menu with plenty of drink options. I went with the lemon black tea, 50% sweetness and less ice. It was very lemony but still well balanced with the black tea. Not too sweet and not overly tart or sour either. Solid drink and quick service

    New promo and drink, but not even available on day 1

    Came at opening and was advised BOGO deal for their Pandan Sticky Rice drink was enough to cover first two customers. Came back nearly 2 hours later and saw a sign that says bogo deal won't be available until 4pm. How do you not be prepared to have enough drinks on your first day of this promotion and new drink?

    D3. Oreo Milk Tea
    Kevin T.

    I actually had this spot for a very long time on my try list but never got to it for reason. HOWEVER, I recommended to finally try this spot since my wife already tried it but she was very enthusiastic about me trying this place finally. (EGG WAFFLES CRAVING) I'd say, entering this plaza is a bit cramped, moderate size ground floor parking with some tight spots, but there's a underground lot which is a bit more spacious. I love the interior quite a bit, plenty of tables, and the ongoing "yellow, happy lemon" theme is very cute and very eye pleasing. Plus points for clean interior as well. We ordered the Oreo Milk Tea which was one of their star recommended drinks, we went for zero sugar for this drink as there's already sweetness added to it with the Oreo. A bit skeptical at first because of the zero % sugar but it was completely fine. Super refreshing during a warm evening, and the Oreo mixed with the milk tea gave it a great taste of creaminess from the flakes, very well made along with a nice sturdy cup. 10/10 Of course, I came here for the egg waffles and I exited with EGG WAFFLES. Freshly made by the staff, came out steaming hot, was about a 5 minute wait which is pretty quick. Super crispy with a puff of air when chewing, perfect for a late night snack as it's not too sweet, but very savory. A bit addicting if you ask me. There's also other egg waffle flavors such as Matcha, Oreo, and even Boba waffles. Will definitely be back to try those.

    Came in a bit before closing and can say drinks here are actually pretty good. I ended up getting the Fresh Dragon Fruit Lychee Juice with Salted Cheese with 25% sweetness/25% ice. This drink was perfect, so refreshing and 25% was perfectly sweet IMO. They were doing a Genshin Impact promotion so the cups had anime characters on it. I would be back here, it's pretty solid. Parking - They have parking out back with underground parking if the top section fills up.

    These drinks were made delicious! As our first time visiting this boba place, their customer service was great. The drinks came out fast and were very tasty. Will visit again!!

    S1. Fresh Passion Fruit Mango Green Tea w/ boba
    Reine N.

    Came around 1:20 PM on a Saturday and waited about 20 minutes for a drink. We ordered the fresh passion fruit mango green tea w/ boba (75% sweet as recommended by the cashier). I normally love a sweet drink, but I'm glad we were encouraged to reduce the sweetness as even 75 is pretty sweet. When they say "fresh passionfruit" I think they likely scoop it fresh as I can taste some seeds in the drink. They're not too hard to chew, but just be prepared for a bit of a crunch. Overall, I'm not sure if I'd find myself craving their drinks, but if I'm in the mood for a fruity tea and in the area, I'd consider it!

    Debbie W.

    Be prepared to be met with an amazing aroma from their waffles when you enter. The space offers some table and bench seating. Service: friendly and helpful. The staff let me know my order runs sweet which was why I asked for 25% sugar Parking: there is parking in the back garage Order: Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea w Boba: 5/5 25% sugar was perfect! This milk tea was smooth and creamy with light tea aroma!

    So unfortunate that this boba shop is closing down very soon. I have been visiting ever since it…read morefirst opened and really like some of the drinks here. The coconut ice cream milk tea is a unique and delicious drink. Another standout drink is the matcha frostie with creme brulee. I have never had a bad drink from this place. The menu here is very huge, maybe even too huge. There are so many drinks you could possibly order, ranging from milk teas to fruit teas to slushies to coffees and a lot more. I think it would be better if they focused on a smaller menu with some really good specialty drinks. Nevertheless, I will miss this boba shop.

    I ordered the Pandan Milk Drink ($5.99 - 50% Sweetness - Regular Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba…read more(additional 80 cents). It arrived sugary with a strong vanilla, nut flavor. Unfortunately, the Brown Sugar Boba tasted funky. Some pearls had the flavor of soap. "Gross!!" I arrived at YOTEA (Rosemead) on Monday (around 12:16PM). Parking is simple if familiar with the area. There's a rear parking garage for customers. Staff is unmemorable and awkward. When I mentioned they mixed old and new menus together which displayed incorrect prices, Staff seemed amused and let them stay mixed. Staff avoided customer interaction whenever possible. The drink took two minutes and 10 seconds. Quick time. The Pandan Milk Drink ($5.99 - 50% Sweetness - Regular Ice) with Brown Sugar Boba (additional 80 cents) tasted artificial. It had a strong "candy milk taste," and it glowed a neon green when stirred. The first sip was pleasant, but as I continued to drink, the taste became more off-putting. Next, the Brown Sugar Boba tasted inconsistent. Some tasted perfectly fine, but others had the flavor of dishwater and gloop. I was tempted to throw it into the garbage can. Concerning ambiance, YOTEA (Rosemead) has potential. Ignoring the cobweb underneath one table & the somewhat old furniture, there's utility. This location has about 10 electrical outlets. Wow! There's also customer internet with password; the internet information is taped onto the black register. There's also a customer gender neutral restroom. YOTEA (Rosemead) is also very spacious. The ceiling is very tall, and there's many spots to sit. There's about 16 tables!! If desperate for a study/work spot, this is a decent choice. There's also upbeat, smooth music. Overall, I had a disappointing experience at YOTEA (Rosemead). There's utility and potential, but this business feels old and unmaintained. Rather than clean, Staff just chattered amongst themselves. Any passion that rang within these walls dissipated a long time ago. Currently, YOTEA (Rosemead) is simply mediocre. 2.9 out of 5
