    mango sago smoothie
    Isabella C.

    Service was really good and fast! They have an extensive menu, which is nice considering this location is in the mall. A casual spot but delicious drinks!

    This boba shop is hidden in the corner of the mall -- easy to miss but so worth finding. I'm obsessed with their bubble milk tea, it hits every time. The boba is always soft and chewy (the way it should be). Just a heads-up though: they sometimes run out of boba around 5PM, so go earlier if you can!

    Drink order E1. Cold Mango Jasmine Green Tea

    First time trying out their drinks. I got a Mango fruit juice one. Cold, refreshing, sweet but not overly sweet. In 85 degree Boston weather this was cooling. It is a bit hidden but we went into the food court to find it. Coming back again :) Service was so good.

    Seeing the review so give a try. The fresh squeezed lemon black tea is so good and tasty.

    As someone who at this point has tried almost every boba shop in the Back Bay/Downtown area, I can say that Happy Lemon definitely stands out as one of my favorites. Although the location isn't as convenient (it is located inside of a food court with a very different vibe than most other boba shops), the taste, quality, and value is great. I ordered a taro milk tea with boba which was great. They added some foam and taro chunks to my drink as well, which made it very enjoyable to eat. I was also very happy with the size of the drink - they only have one size - but it leaves you feeling very full. I'll definitely return to try some more of their fun flavors!

    Boba tasted like rubber, they cannot customize my drink. This is my first time trying happy Lemon and it was a great disappointment. I ended up throwing my drink away, which never happened before with boba. I will have to stick with other boba shops.

    2x medium milk tea with puff cream ($9.63 net)
    Joop V.

    I got 2 medium bubble milk tea with puff (~close to $10 with tax for 2 drinks) and thought these Happy Lemon's beverage tasted more unique than other boba places I'd been to. The custard/cheese (?) I couldn't tell what it was tasted a bit salty but yet still sweet enough to go pretty well with the tea. They were a bit rich though, so if you are looking for something light, may do well to skip this option. For me, I love milk based tea (rather than water based one), so it was a nice change of taste to tey their drinks. The cashier who took my order was patient and polite (I couldn't decide what I wanted) and their large size drinks are actually pretty decent, so no complaints there. The only thing I had was, there were some online offers available. However, for whatever reasons, the cell phone reception at their store was pretty sporadic/almost null (I couldn't really get any signal), so it was kind of hard to navigate when you are trying to activate the special/coupon offer while buying, too. Overall though for the service/taste, this boba shop is pretty good! I wouldn't mind stopping by again. P.S. no designated seating at this shop. It's mostly for take out, but you can just grab any food court seats/tables next to this shop/within the same area to enjoy your drinks/treats!

    I tried the lemon yakult with aloe at Happy Lemon, and I liked it! Though I did choke a bit when a large cube of aloe rushed through the straw and hit my throat. Yes, be careful. Happy Lemon is located at the Corner Mall food court (Food Connection) in Downtown Boston. Service wasn't the quickest with one person taking orders and making drinks, while another co-worker focused on drink making, including making more bobas. I didn't mind waiting. I did however mind that 3 individuals who placed their orders after me got their drinks before I got mine.

    My first happy lemon experience was in Beijing, when I had a taro ball milk tea--sooo good! I know everything is different here but I still visited just for the memory. Strawberry green tea with lychee jelly: surprisingly tasty! Very strong green tea with strawberries and lychee jelly Bubble tea: just normal Checkin bonus is BOGO! The best deal ever!

    Salted cheese green tea!
    Natalie S.

    I wandered around the food court across from Primark for a good two minutes. This station is next to the Sushi Time station (just in case any absent-minded Yelpers like me might miss it). I wasn't sure what to order, so I decided to ask the servers there what their favorites were between the salted cheese green tea and the Oreo tea. One of the workers expertly and kindly answered my questions about the consistency and heaviness of each. I chose the salted cheese green tea because I haven't really seen that anywhere in else. The salted cheese green tea combo is much better than I expected. The thick, sweet cheese froth, reminiscent of a whipped cream version of cream cheese frosting, settled comfortably on top of the green tea. As per one Yelper's suggestion, I decided to mix the two flavors. It was really good--the slight bitterness of the green tea paired excellently with the sweet cheese. It wasn't too bitter; it wasn't too sweet. I would highly recommend this refreshing drink. Next time I go, I'd love to try the Oreo one with boba, which is one of the other popular drinks served here. Also, I underestimated how heavy the drink was, so next time I will wait until I have a totally empty stomach to drink it.

    Love the taste of the bubble! Sooo Fresh! I ordered Iced bubble tea 50% sugar and less ice! Perfect drink for sure! I hope there is another Happy Lemon stores open near my house so I can drink it more often:)

    Yum! This place has the best jasmine milk green tea. I haven't tried the popular lemon drinks, so maybe next time. Like most typical boba places, you can alter the amount of ice and sugar in your drink. The only downside is this location is a but inconvenient and also has the normal hours of the food court mall. Make sure you grab a stamp card so you're rewarded with your returned visits!

    I love HeyTea! Still my favorite location to go to in MA…read more I've experienced the least amount of problems here, compared to the other two (Newbury St. & Natick). PLUS, they close later than both. I have this bad habit of going here almost every time I have a meal in the area LOL. The addiction is real! I love that they keep adding new drinks to their menu... keeps it interesting. My favorite is still the Mango Coconut Boom but I'm a fan of most of their new drinks, like the Golden Oolong Yuzu & their King Jasmine Guava! I tried the Pistachio Cloud Jasmine Coconut, as well, and it's super similar to one of my favorites from MollyTea. I prefer the one from MollyTea more w/ champaca tea. Since their opening here, I have tried almost all of the drinks & their mango coconut boom is STILL superior! Highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys mango. It is pretty much their version of mango pomelo sago (they have a version with pomelo but I like it without). SO GOOD! ***Pro tip: order ahead of time via HeyTea app. This is a lifesaver, since the wait time is pretty atrocious most days still. Usually takes ~20 min to be ready.

    Hey Tea is deserving of the hype! Ordering ahead on their app is a lifesaver (vs waiting 20+ mins…read morein line). The app's UI is easy to use. The wait time estimates are relatively accurate too. Menu-wise, they have a nice variety of both fruity and creamy flavors. Definitely easy to find something for everyone's palette. I really enjoyed their Grape Boom Drink! The sweetness level was perfectly not too sweet with plenty of freshness from the actual grapes. Their Mango Sago Drink was also great but a bit too heavy. If you're looking for more refreshing drinks, definitely go for their fruity options.

The inside of the shop is nice and bright, but there wasn't really any long-term seating. This place is definitely more of a grab-and-go type of establishment. There's also a mini store to the right of the entrance, selling a bunch of cute trinkets and collectibles, that you can browse through while you wait for your drinks. House Special Milk Tea (4/5) - I got this with 70% sugar, and I thought that was a decent "not too sweet" level. I'd prefer even less sugar next time. This drink contains oats, and lots of them. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the oats because they added a unique texture. I also got tapioca with this drink, and I must say the boba is soft but strangely more brittle than chewy. TLDR// Teazzi is a solid boba shop I would return to.

The tea flavor is strong and fragrant. I just did not like that my drink was fairly lukewarm. I understand that I ordered light ice, but I've done this at other boba places and my drink is still usually decently cool. I personally liked the Amber Oolong better. I wanted the deep roast, but they were sold out. I didn't try any of the boba or any toppings, as I usually do not no matter where I go. The oats in the boba is an interesting concept. It's pretty much self-service. You order from the kiosk and they call your order when it's ready. The staff doesn't really acknowledge you otherwise. It's located within another store selling some cute things. Overall the menu is small and simple, and the drinks are pretty good and the tea tastes high quality.
