    Green tea w/cheese top and C1
    Alejandra D.

    As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the worker up front :) There's 1 ipad to order on. I wish they had at least 2 b/c as soon as we walked in, then about 2 large families lined up behind us and I felt a bit of pressure to hurry up my order. The place was clean and vibrant. Our drinks came out shortly after. I love their cheese top w/green tea, 25% sweet and was perfect. Hubby likes the black tea with the halfed lemons in it. it'd been a while since we'd been to Happy Lemon and didn't recall which one it was but we made an educated guess. Seems they changed their cup design for the large because it's not a transparent cup anymore and instead one you use for hot coffees. Got home, and peeled the film to peek inside and no fresh lemon :( so that means either we picked the wrong drink, or they no longer add the whole lemon. Will ask next time to confirm.

    I love this place so much. I used to go to the bay for this then they opened the one in Stockton. Now they opened one here in Manteca and I'm the happiest! The difference between this location and other locations, the owner is very nice. She's very consistent on how she does the drink. I come here almost every week and order the same exact thing. The other staff is also nice. This location is always clean and quiet than the other ones. I'm very happy with their service. If you guys haven't tried their bubble waffle, this location also does it perfectly crispy! They take their time to make it. I hope this location stays forever!

    I've been going to Happy Lemon for years, and I'm so happy there's one in Manteca now! This is in a great location with Raising Cane's, Chick-fil-A, and other shops nearby. The interior is brightly lit, clean, and spacious. We placed our order on the tablet located on the counter. During checkout, I was able to scan my membership QR code to earn points. The whole process was simple and easy. I ordered the Boba Milk Tea with Puff Cream, one of my favorite drinks at Happy Lemon. I got 25% sugar, and it was perfect. It was exactly what I was expecting.

    The chocolate bubble waffle was scrumptious! As is the dragon fruit lemon slushy. I had gotten them when they first opened at 11a and when my kid got out of school, she was able to try the treats too and liked them. I had seen on yelps photo menu 5 months ago that the prices are a bit more now. The lady was kind enough to hear me out and show me that it has changed as well as answer my questions since it was my first time coming to a happy lemon. I've seen it everywhere and had never had a chance to stop by till now since it was close to my Quest appointment location. They are in a busy area so be careful with cars and pedestrians. Located near a McDonald's and wing stop which are very much known places people go. I do recommend this place as a special treat. It's really cute and clean inside with a few tables and a bathroom available. There is a whole lot more to just lemons here so a must try. I really even like the presentation of the drink and the wrap the bubble waffle was in. Definitely returning to treat my mini someday soon I added to my chocolate bubble waffle at home a chocolate brownie ice cream with 3 kinds of cereal toppings which made it even tastier. Only had the idea because I had it similar somewhere else but it made my day to have it again since I haven't found any other place that does that.

    Happy Lemon recently opened in Manteca, and I happened to be visiting my friend and suggested we get some boba! I hadn't been to a Happy Lemon in YEARS, so it was nice to go back to one and see their drink selections! I'm big into fruit teas and decided to get the Fresh Passion Fruit Mango Green Tea! I thought overall it was really good, however there was a bit too much passion fruit in it which made my drink more sour than I would have liked. Otherwise, the tea flavor wasn't too strong and it was the perfect sweetness level for me! Service was also great and there were several tables you could sit down and sip your drink.

    Cheers to Happy Lemon in Manteca!

    So glad that Happy Lemon is now open in Manteca! Their drinks are spot on and service is super friendly. We came on a Thursday evening and it wasn't busy. Appreciated that I didn't feel rushed. The cashier even waited patiently while I set up my Happy Lemon app. My go-to is their mango matcha with or without mango boba depending on my mood. Would love to try their bubble waffles on my next visit.

    My go-to place for boba. I've been to so many different boba places, but I always come back to a select few. Here in Manteca, this is my go to spot. When we moved from San Jose to Manteca I was relieved to find out there was a Happy Lemon since it's where I go when I'm craving something refreshing. The cherry on top is the group of people who work here. They are all lovely people who really want their customers to be happy with their order. I really appreciate that! We come in so often that they know our orders by heart now. We love coming to this location for the great drinks and friendly faces. *also ngl, but I love the stickers too*

    I had been wanting to try out the Pleasanton location for a while so I was glad to see that there was a new Manteca location. I usually like to grab some boba tea, but I decided to try the Grapefruit Lemon Slushy here and it ended up being one of the best things I've tasted. I also grabbed an Oreo Bubble Waffle with taro puff cream. It was such a delicious crispy and chewy snack. I love waffles. The lobby had a few tables with a couple cute toys on each table. I thought that was a nice touch. The staff was very friendly and quick. Thumbs up.

    Traveled to visit family and was craving boba. First time here and it was yummy! Staff was friendly, service was quick, and everything tasted great. Worth the trip and highly recommended.

    Yay! A new boba place nearby! The drinks beetle are consistent with other locations and the employees are so friendly. I love that it's located in the less busier plaza of that area also. Makes parking easier. The place is very spacious and clean too! Whenever I don't mind driving an extra 10-12 mins for boba we go here! I always gets the green tea with sea salt crema or the mango yakult smoothie or the grapefruit lemon slushie :)

I'm not sure how busy it gets on weekends. The coffee is always fresh, and the menu has all the classic café breakfast options you'd expect. My favorite is the chorizo omelette with a side of strawberries. The omelette is flavorful without being greasy, and the strawberries are always fresh and delicious. The toast is decent, though I think trying a different bread brand could make it even better. The servers are consistently friendly and attentive. Orders come out quickly, and coffee refills are always topped off without having to ask. Overall, Frank's is a great spot for breakfast and definitely worth checking out.

Everything is fresh, wholesome, and intentionally made. You can tell they care about the food they're serving and the people they're serving it to. For the longest time, I couldn't stop ordering the turkey pesto sandwich because it was that good. Once I finally started trying other menu items, I realized it wasn't just one great sandwich. Everything I've had has been delicious. The coffee and tea are exceptional as well. Manteca is so lucky to have a place like Bean & Leaf.

Given the multitude of licenses at stake in such enterprises, I wish to share my recent experience at this location. This morning, my husband and I visited, and we were somewhat disappointed with the quality of our orders. He ordered a vanilla latte with oat milk, while I ordered an oat milk latte with an extra shot of espresso at a temperature of 200 degrees. He also selected a ham, cheese, and egg croissant, and I opted for a bacon and cheese croissant. Regrettably, the items did not meet our expectations. The beverages lacked the desired strength; although the temperature was correct, I was informed after placing our order that they were out of oat milk and had to substitute it with almond milk. Given that we had already paid approximately $30, this was quite disappointing. Despite these concerns, we did not request a discount or refund, and we accepted the substitution that was communicated to us approximately 10 to 15 minutes after placing our order. On a positive note, the staff were very courteous, and the establishment was clean. However, I suspect that the items we ordered may not represent the best offerings on their menu. While the service was commendable, there was a notable wait involved. It would have been preferable to have been informed of the oat milk shortage prior to payment, as we might have chosen to leave at that point. Unfortunately, our dissatisfaction led us to seek alternative options, and we subsequently drove to Stockton to visit Peet's Coffee, where we consistently find lattes prepared to our liking. While we may not return to this location, I do not wish to portray it negatively. It is clear that the establishment has potential, yet our experience did not align with our expectations.

NARRATIVE: I arrived just after 7:00 am of a Wednesday and found the place open and to myself. After checking out their extensive wall menu, I ordered a plain Bagel with Lox, an Asai bowl and a Sea Salt Caramel iced coffee to go. Like I mentioned above, they have an extensive menu which really impressed me. I was also impressed by their super large espresso machine. My order took about ten minutes to prepare and I headed off with my bag and drink towards home. At the house and before tearing into my food, my camera ate first. My Bagel with Lox was dynamite. Super thick cut of fresh salmon with cream cheese, capers, onion and cucumbers gave the sandwich a nice crunch. My Sea Salt Caramel coffee was great and their Asai bowls are impressive. SCENE: Located at the corner of W. 11th Street and East Street, Isabel's Cafe now occupies the old Sandwich Spot location. RECOMMENDATION(S): Awesome food! Highly recommended. The only negative I had was, unlike Sandwich Spot where you could watch your sandwich being made, Isabel's doesn't have that option. Everything is prepared in the back, away from the customers.

I got mine with no cheese and a side of onions, and it was every bit as good as I remembered. One thing that was a little odd was that my friend's plate came with chips and veggies while mine only came with the sandwich and veggies. I'm not sure if there was a difference in how the orders were entered, but it definitely caught my attention. That said, those chips were absolutely delicious. We liked them so much that we packed up the leftovers and took them with us while we walked over to the visitor center afterward. That's always a good sign when you're making sure not a single chip goes to waste. We've been here quite a few times over the years, and one thing that keeps us coming back is the consistency. The food is always excellent, and even on busier days they seem to keep things moving. During this visit the restaurant was fairly crowded, but we were still served promptly and never felt forgotten. The atmosphere is one of my favorite things about Maison. It feels relaxed without being overly casual and always makes for a nice lunch stop when we're in Lodi. Helpful tip: If the chips come with your meal, don't leave them behind. They're surprisingly addictive and worth taking home if you can't finish them. Between the great food, friendly service, and reliable consistency, Maison continues to be one of our favorite places to stop whenever we're spending the day in Lodi.

At that point, I overheard an employee respond in the background with an attitude, stating that I had ordered the drink hot. I fully understand that mistakes can happen--orders can be entered incorrectly, and errors are part of any service environment. However, my concern lies with the dismissive attitude and the decision to challenge the customer's request in front of them. This interaction left a poor impression, and as a result, I do not plan to return to this establishment. I will instead continue supporting my usual coffee shops.
