    I have heard of this place for a long time and didnt try them until 2025. My favorites here are the roasted Okinawa milk tea with boba - they have brown sugar boba with a roasted tea flavor - super yummy. Their original waffle with the salted cheese dip is to die for! Eat them right when they come out warm and crispy. I have tried their best seller Oreo milk tea but it was underwhelming - just get the Okinawa one, 50% sugar is plenty sweet. The space is bright and clean, theres always parking as its part of a mall. The staffs here are pleasant too.

    You know your addiction to Happy Lemon is bad when you officially have the app downloaded to your phone and you live 17 miles away... I unpurposely make it my mission to stop by and order two drinks every ten days. I was introduced to salted cheese from Happy Lemon in 2018 and haven't stopped loving it. Being the first in the world to create the salted cheese topper, Happy Lemon proudly boasts "often imitated, never duplicated", which stands true. I always order either the Jasmine Green Tea with Salted Cheese or the Classic Black Tea with Salted Cheese. Trust me, you won't regret it. There's something magical about this drink. Starting with the base of the tea itself, Happy Lemon brews delicious, quality tea you can actually taste. Next, they'll mix in the perfect cream ratio to the tea to craft the perfect milk tea. Finally, the salted cheese topper is added to the top with a dash of matcha.

    Nice staff and fast to order and easy parking lot to se and get into . Nice decorations Wi-Fi available very lit up room tables and chairs are comfortable with a cushion on them. Floors are a few dancing in it but kid friendly area and they have games for the kids. Rewards are available and Uber eats are available. I like that you can adjust your ice level and your sugar level and they have different labels. You can read for a different allergy.. I would feel that they need to do more dairy free drinks available.

    You guys need a chill pill on the notification. My order was made and received before 9pm, but I got this notification of my order, ready to be picked up at 12:05am.

    Never disappoints! They use real lemons in the drinks, so good! It was quick service, a little slow but accepted. I got lemon green tea with boba, loved it! They also make egg waffles, it smelled really good but I was so full from dinner. Plenty of options to choose from, you'll definitely find a drink that you'll enjoy! Spacious with great lighting to chill. Good place for studying.

    Service is friendly, and they always make my drinks perfectly. I love that they have free wi-fi and plenty of seating. It's clean and comfortable!

    A8. Milk Tea with Salted Cheese (with a concerned friend in the background)

    I have finally uploaded an updated version of the Happy Lemon menu if anyone is curious of the prices here. This is a great boba shop, and the prices are good, considering how pricey boba is becoming. My milk tea with salted cheese topping came out to be $6.50, which is relatively cheap compared to other places, I believe. If you're like me, who likes a bit of sweetness but not too much, 50% sugar level is good. My friends told me 25% is pretty bland. Also, the salted cheese topping is a great topping bc it adds a bit of saltiness to the sweetness. Also, there's only one size for all drinks, but I think the price matches the quantity. This shop looks like a great study spot. It wasn't busy when I went, but it was a Wednesday afternoon. It's clean and smells nice too, and there are some board games in the corner. Also, the parking spots are pretty narrow, be careful with parking.

    This is a great spot for milk tea. The service is quick and friendly. There are many indoor tables for small and large groups. Highly recommend for the locals and visitors.

    Been here a few times and they are always so nice. My favorite is the Dragonfruit lemon slush with lychee boba. It's really refreshing and tastes like lemonade with a twist. Service is always excellent with a smile and soft chill music to complete the experience.

    B1. Fresh Lemon Green Tea and C2. Freshly Squeezed Lemon Black Tea
    Carrie M.

    I had such high hopes for the famous Happy Lemon, but I was sorely disappointed because the drink I got tasted so unpleasant. I wanted to try a lemon drink since it is their specialty. My friend first ordered the freshly squeezed lemon black tea. I thought it was okay; it tasted like a muted lemon ice tea. Because it wasn't that great, I decided to order a blended whole lemon drink: the fresh lemon green tea. I asked the barista the difference between the squeezed lemon and blended whole lemon drinks, and she said the blended whole lemon had more of a lemon flavour, while the squeezed lemon had more of a tea flavour. I thought the lemon had tasted pretty muted in the squeezed lemon drink, so I decided I wanted a stronger lemon flavour. The whole lemon drink turned out to be so sour and overall very unpleasant. I made a face every time I drank it, and I made myself drink all of it especially because it was almost $7 (with no tapioca). My friend had the same thoughts on it. It somehow tasted worse than most lemon drinks I have tried. We came here to study, and the atmosphere was okay for it. They have large tables, wifi, and some outlets on one wall. It was loud at times but quiet at other times on a Saturday afternoon, so that was really better than I had hoped.

    We had ordered the house Thai tea with 50 % sugar. The tea tasted super bland and with zero sugar in it. I had to go home and put more sugar in it for it to be bearable. We ordered 3 drinks and none of us liked our drinks. The Pearl boba was over cooked, mushy, and flavorless. Do I recommend this place? Unfortunately no.

    D11. Okinawa Fresh Milk with Boba and J1. Original Waffleswaffles
    Frances L.

    5 stars for the bubble waffle with taro puff cream, my go to order. A great pick me up treat. Their boba and milk tea is a solid 4 stars. It's never done me wrong. It's well done and consistently good compared to many other bubble tea franchises. I've tried the tiramisu salted cream dip for the waffles and it was a bit runny and the taste wasn't to my liking, and they happily replaced it with a puff cream of my choosing. Parking is great at this complex and the interior has plenty of space to sit with games available.

    I love coming here! For a while this was my favorite boba place in Austin. I enjoy the music selection when I came in and loved that they had games available. I come here often so I know I'll be back! Service is always fast and delicious.

    Can anything be made vegan (no dairy, eggs, gelatin)?

    I know they have drinks that can fit with that.

When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

Even so, the ambience seems like the decorations were cute, but very cheap and damaged overtime with little to no repairs. But I didn't come here for aesthetics. I came here for great Boba tea and sweet treats. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. What looked like a traditional milk toast dessert, was literally four pieces of stale bread, toasted and stacked on top of each other. that tasted freezer burnt with lots of sauce on top. No topping between each layer so it was not flavorful or tasty and all you could taste was a weird chemical flavor from the bread. Same thing with the ice cream, so freezer burnt that it tasted of chemicals, cardboard, and didn't even melt despite sitting on the plate for 15+ minutes. The Taro tea itself was fine with the crème brûlée topping, but the brown sugar Boba had the same chemical "going bad" flavor to it. It was super hard and bitter tasting instead of sweet. The soufflé pancakes were fine, but the ice cream was terrible on that too. It's hard to mess up Ice Cream, but somehow they managed.
