Special of the week
Mary K.

Came back with my daughter to try this place again. The manager was there and gave me a free Thai iced tea because the last time I was there I didn't like it. I will say that they will make you drink to your liking! So I got my tea 50/50 sweet. And it was good my daughter tried the match drink it was good. The manager recommended a strawberry and lemonade drink-from their secret menu! For my little granddaughter and that was delicious we'll definitely be back! The place was remodeled and cute and also clean. You can also ask for your photo to be taken with your purchased drinks and put up on their wall.

Popcorn Chicken

This is one of the better Happy Lemon's I've been to! Friendly staff & clean. My boyfriend and I tried their popcorn chicken for the first time and it was SO good. We had to order a second one tho cause he ate majority of it before I did lol

Stopped by Happy Lemon on a warm day with a light breeze--aka perfect slushy weather. There was a small line when I walked in, mostly regulars who clearly knew their go-to orders, but as a casual visitor, I appreciated the helpful, descriptive menu and the super friendly staff who were ready to answer questions with a smile. After some delicious decision paralysis, I landed on the Mango Lemon Slushy and a chocolate bubble waffle (yes, I added cream--no regrets). Both were chef's kiss refreshing and hit the spot. Loved the choice between relaxing in a clean, comfy indoor space or soaking up the sun just outside--with a lovely little fountain nearby. I've been to other Happy Lemons, but this one had a standout vibe. I'll definitely be back.

My favorite boba place ever!! All the drinks are sooo good... I always have a hard time deciding which one to get. My daughter can't come without getting the chocolate puff waffle with puff cream. The service is A1 - the owners and staff are the best! It's a very friendly and welcoming vibe. They also have a super cute photo op. Love this place!! :)

Cute mural skylight. Love the birds of paradise

I got the classic milk tea with puff cream added, and a matcha bubble waffle. The employees were kind enough to let me try the puff cream and the salted chocolate cream in separate containers (probably because there wasn't anyone else when I arrived-- though it didn't stay empty for long. It was very quick service actually for me and the other customers who came in). Good chew for the boba and good sweetness. Really can't go wrong with the classic milk tea. The matcha bubble waffle was amazing --nice and crisp on the outside, soft and warm middle, and great matcha flavor. Also, I used the separate containers of puff cream and salted chocolate cream as dips. Highly recommend doing that if you can.

Happy Lemon is located in the Safeway shopping center and is a popular hangout for the local kids in the area. I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon during my stroll. I haven't had Happy Lemon before because most of the flavors don't speak to me. However, I noticed they had a seasonal drink available, the mango juice with salted cheese. It was a refreshing and unexpected drink. Service was quick and I was in and out of the store in less than 10 minutes.

S1 Passion Fruit Mango Green Tea

Happy Lemon has nice variety in their menu and fun seasonal drinks. Their interior is always nice and clean and the staff work efficiently. There always seems to be a handful of customers inside, so sometimes there's a bit of a wait for your drink. I recently tried their passionfruit mango green tea and ube milk tea with taro puff and boba, and really enjoyed both! The passionfruit mango drink was really light and refreshing, and it tasted really good with the fresh fruit pieces. The ube milk tea was tasty too and wasn't too sweet. The foam was a fun and yummy touch.

One of the newer tea shops in Blackhawk with great service, friendly staff, and delicious drinks! Has a large menu with many choices ranging from smoothies, teas, slushes, bubble waffles, and the famous salted cheese drinks! Drinks: 1. Mango lemon slushy {$4.50, 5/5 stars} delicious sweet slushy with fresh mango chunks and with a sweet lemon taste. 2. Oreo milk tea {$5.00, 5/5 stars} a creamy blend of Oreo and a savory earthy tea. Almost like a milk shake, but without the heaviness! Service: Attentive and friendly staff, drinks were made in about 5 minutes with 2 other people before us. Quick ordering and a welcome feeling here! Great tea shop and will definitely be back in the warmer months!

I've been on a mission to find a great coffee spot in the area, and I've finally found it!! I was…read moreimpressed how busy it was inside...people hanging out, studying, catching up over drinks- not just grabbing coffee to go. This place has great social energy. We ordered 2 hot coffees: - Biscoff hot latte: The star of my visit. Rich, creamy, and deeply "biscoff-y". They use a generous amount of biscoff butter in this. - Spanish latte: The one miss for us...it tasted burnt, which was disappointing because we're usually big fans of a good Spanish latte. The waiter recommended the pistachio latte for next time which I'm now dying to try. Five stars, and I'll be back soon.

Since the inside was packed, we opted for one of the coveted outdoor seating areas and were spared any additional rain. Ordering at the counter was quick and easy. The bakery display had so many delightful treats and pastries, we got a small mixed tray to try a few of the different nougats and Turkish delights. The Rose Milk chai was perfect! Spicy with just a hint of rose to wrap it all up. The Mocha was balanced and tasty too. All in all it was a nice way to catch up with a friend and enjoy a variety of sweets. I'll be back again, even if it's just to grab a to-go order!

I know it was a busy day and the staff was busy with the orders and service making tables available however they could improve in checking their bathroom and trash bins.

Other than that i couldnt stop bragging about Mason Benoit on my social media. We will definitely come back.

I usually only pick up stuff that's ready to go so still a decent in and out of someone drops u and takes a lap.

Although a workplace cafe, this is also open to non-working customers. Drinks were great - we ordered a Madeline latte and a coconut matcha with strawberry drizzle.

Sandwiches were ordered were also delicious and we're looking forward to trying other food next time. There are plenty of tables and seating with plugs which is a plus.

I was there for about two hours today, and the "vibe" is easily one of the most positive I've encountered. The Standout Service: A massive shoutout to Eric. He was awesome--not only was he incredibly attentive during my first visit, but when I came back later in the morning for a second cup, he remembered my name without skipping a beat. It wasn't just me, either; I watched the staff greeting "regulars" by name all morning. It gives the place a genuine, family-like atmosphere that you don't always find in a busy Starbucks. The Details: * Proactive Management: You can tell the leadership cares. The manager was out on the floor every 30 minutes or so, personally cleaning the windows and door handles. It's rare to see that level of dedication to a clean environment. * Impressive Speed: There was a steady stream of people coming in and out the entire time I was there, but the staff never seemed overwhelmed. They are extremely fast and keep the line moving without sacrificing the friendly attitude. If you're in the Danville/Blackhawk area and want a spot that's efficient but still feels like a local community hub, this is it. Five stars all the way for Eric and the rest of the team!
