    They outdid themselves once again! I wanted to try the new drink they had.. mango pandan sticky rice smoothie! I seen it online and on YouTube and had to grab me one!! My friend went in the night before and said it was tart or sour so I was like ain't no way. Cus it's supposed to be sweet. Luckily I mentioned this to the nice young lady that was making my drink and she said it wasn't supposed to be that way and that she'll make sure it's how it's supposed to be which is sweet, but I ended up doing extra sweet just in case lol.. drink was done fast! She suggested I taste it because if I wasn't pleased by it then she'll make a new one. I took a sip n loved it! You can taste the mango, the pandan and even the sticky rice coming through the straw! The texture was as if your eating a sticky rice mochi but still was able to come through the straw. I also like the little jelly ball's that was in the drink. I really liked the drink so much I came back the next day for another one! I totally forgot that Thursday is buy one get one 50% off cus then I would've grabbed another drink I liked in there which is the ube Thai tea coconut! That one is really good too. And I always like my usual iced green tea with salted cheese foam. That will forever be one of my favorites. Simple yet good. They also have a claw machine and some games in there you can play while waiting for your drink.

    strawberry green tea with crystal boba

    I was so impressed with this boba place . The staff was so friendly and courteous. The place was super clean and it had family friendly game options. For example, they have board games. They also had video games, which was impressive. From the time I ordered to the time, I walked out with under three minutes. There happen to be helpful today because I was in a hurry. The tea was super fresh along with the strawberries within the tea. I really enjoyed the day today. I was dragging and also dehydrated. The tea was the perfect thing to both of those problems. Thank you for making my day better

    Happy Lemon always does it for me! They are close by my house, the drinks are consistent and tasty (although they have gotten a little pricey nowadays), but I really like their loyalty program and BOGO 50% off on Thursdays. Not to mention it's a convenient spot to meet up with my friends after work or school. The place itself is always kept clean (I have sometimes come in after they mop the floor), and they have free Wi-Fi. I don't typically come to study however. The workers themselves are fast, nice, and they remember my order. Glad to be a regular!

    A popular boba chain that maintains consistency regardless of location. Happy Lemon in Fresno is located on Cedar Street, directly across from RN Market. A decent-sized space with plenty of seating for many parties. I've come here a few times and have always been served properly. The staff are nice, and the beverages are made quickly. My favorite is the green tea salted cheese foam, 50% sweet and ice. Just a great balance of tea with a little bitterness that pairs well with the sweet and savory cheese froth. Undoubtedly, the price has increased, but inflation is probably to blame. I advise utilizing their promotions and point system. For instance, I enjoy coming here to take advantage of their Thursday BOGO 50% offer.

    3+ The drinks here are genuinely good. Their unique flavored teas are satisfying; however, the three-star rating comes down to efficiency. This is never a quick stop. The wait time is consistently long and often feels disproportionate to what you're ordering. It's a great treat when you have extra time, but the hassle makes it difficult to recommend for a regular craving.

    Quick service and friendly staff. Clean inside. Our drinks were delicious and blended perfectly.

    $9.95 popcorn chicken
    Jamie T.

    I've been coming back quite often over the past year. However, I've noticed that the quantity of food has gone down while the prices have gone up. This was honestly the smallest portion of popcorn chicken I've ever received, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the online ordering app is very convenient, and pickup was quick and effortless. The shop itself is still clean and spacious, with plenty of tables to sit and chat -- and it's often not too busy, which is nice. That said, since there's now another nearby spot that sells popcorn chicken, I'm planning to check that one out next time.

    My first time stopping by this Happy Lemon was very pleasant! My family and I ordered 5 drinks, a bubble waffle, and fishballs. The drinks were made quickly and tasted absolutely delicious! They served those to us first and packed them nicely since we ordered to go. While we waited, they had some cute board and puzzle games you could play. Would definitely come back!

    A7. Matcha Tiramisu Salted Cheese
    Ivy N.

    Yummy quick pick me up, I ordered a Matcha Tiramisu Salted Cheese drink and it was delicious. I recommend getting it blended to get the most out of the whole drink staying hydrated in this hot Fresno heat. Whoever made my drink did a nice job with layering the salted cheese on top to withstand a car drive while being delivered. The little lemon head stopper is so cute!

    My daughter and I had our first Happy Lemon at the Asian market at Ranch 99 in Richmond, California we could not believe that we had one in your home and we will be going there frequently! I got a Thai iced tea with no Boba and my daughter got one with Boba. We were happy lemons!

    Happy Lemon is my favorite boba spot in the world I can't believe I've forgotten to review them this long!! I'm seriously addicted -- it's a problem. I have to stop myself because I could come here twice a day. I treat myself every few months so I don't go overboard haha. I loved them in the Bay area and was delighted to know there's one in Fresno close to me. Their tea and lemons are super fresh. The salted cheese is to die for!! Their chicken is new and so freakin good. My complaint: larger cup sizes!!! I swear I chug this stuff, I need an x-large stat

    Hallie G.

    My absolute favorite boba spot in Fresno (and there's a lot in Fresno, so that's saying something!!!) They have so many options but the absolute GOAT drink here is easilyyyyy the D5: Boba Milk Tea with puff cream. Service is fairly efficient and they always play good music in there! They've always had bubble waffles, but as of late, they introduced popcorn chicken and fried tofu with your choice of seasoning!!! I tried out their fried tofu with spicy chili seasoning and it was bomb dot comb. I can only imagine how good the popcorn chicken must be! Easy 5/5.

    Vietnamese Coffee

    My coworker introduced me to Happy Lemon, so I decided to stop by today and try a few of their drinks. We started with the Lemon Slushie--refreshing and perfect for this weather, though I do wish it was a little sweeter. Next was the Mango Sago with coconut milk, and wow... it was absolutely out of this world! Lastly, we tried the Vietnamese coffee with creamer, which my wife loved. On top of the tasty drinks, the customer service was excellent--super friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great first visit and definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're looking to try something different.

    Ask the Community - Happy Lemon

    Are they still open?

    Sign on the door says they will reopen May 1st.

    Are they open??? The site said they were going to reopen on April 7th. One side of the door says it's going to remain closed until further notice, but the other door has a sign saying "to go orders only". I'm craving Okinawa tea SO BADLY!

    Think they are closed.

    Would love to try. Is the BOGO still going on or is there a happy hour?

    The BOGO was only during the grand opening. And they don't have happy hour either. The drinks are sold at regular price which is between $3 to $5 and some change.

    Will you guys be open today or was it just the 6-7?

    I believe they are officially open daily 11am to 10pm.

    When will you be open?

    Jan 6-7 is their grand opening
