    popcorn chicken

    I ordered the popcorn chicken and it's $10 for a half full box? Absolutely ridiculous.

    Mango Matcha and matcha bubble waffle
    Julianna E.

    I haven't had Happy Lemon in a while, but it never disappoints! I got the Mango Matcha and the Matcha Bubble Waffle. The Mango Matcha is my favorite drink here, and it was just as amazing as always. It's a subtly flavored matcha smoothie with pieces of mango. It wasn't too sweet and super delicious. The Matcha Bubble Waffle was also fantastic. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The interior is spacious with plenty of seating, and the service was quick. Overall, had a really great experience!

    had come here during an "off" hour so it wasn't too crowded. service was quick and simple - ordered boba milk tea with spicy popcorn chicken and it was the same as anywhere else - glad they're consistent. little indoor seating but i'd prefer to grab my drink and walk around downtown.

    We got the best seller green tea with salted cheese and boba milk tea with puff cream. Both were great except the salted cheese was sweet and not salted. Great location but parking maybe tricky

    blue teapuccino (promotional limited edition) comes with oreo crumble and boba

    I lovvvve happy lemon I think it's the best boba on castro street! They do get crowded but there is a lot of seating. The egg waffles take a while but they're sooo good, last I checked they also give a generous amount of puff cream or salted cheese with the waffle. My faves drinks: Go to order: Salted cheese milk tea 50-75% sweet Other good orders: Matcha latte with tirimisu foam 50% sweet Matcha Mango smoothie Mango Milk tea with Orange and lychee jelly 50% sweet (this is really good) I had the genshin teapuccino recently. Would not reccomend - it's like a worse version of their regular milk tea but more watered down. Also if you're a regular here I reccomend getting the app!

    I like happy lemon. Always same and good quality in this location. Just one thing is; they are very slow. But this is common at Tea Shops hahaha I don't know why :)

    Love love love Happy Lemon!!! My usual order: Okinawa roasted milk tea (25% sugar) with boba never disappoints. Sweet enough, pleasant strong tea taste and the boba pearls here are delicious. My mom tired the new Vietnamese coffee (25% sugar) with puff cream and wow!!! Vietnamese coffee is usually too sweet for my liking so I loved that you can adjust it here and the puff cream adds an additional creaminess to it.

    One of my favorite boba spots! Consistently great drinks and quick service across their many locations. Some of my favorites are: - Strawberry green tea - Mango matcha smoothie - Matcha latte w salted cheese (and their salted cheese drinks in general) - Over the summer I've had a berry smoothie with salted cheese which was so good! Hoping they make it an annual thing

    D6. Ube Milk Tea With Taro Puff Cream and Boba
    Laney C.

    I got an ube milk tea with taro puff cream + boba and it didn't really taste super ube-y. It was still pretty sweet considering that I got less sugar. The boba was pretty chewy but overall this drink was just alright. The wait time was rather long (maybe 15 min?) considering that there was 1 person ahead of me.

    Mango lemon slushie, ube milk tea with boba/creme and grapefruit lemon slushie.
    Kurtis S.

    Overall great 1st visit. Two out of our 3 drinks were a hit! I can say just from walking into the store you are greeted with a pleasant aroma of boba freshness! We each got different drinks; an ube boba (with creme), grapefruit lemon slushie and a mango lemon slushie. I've never had an ube milk tea with creme but it was a fun addition! My wife got a grapefruit lemon slushie which she said hit the spot on a warm summer day and my good friend with his mango lemon slushie said it was slightly sour but overall tasty. We will likely be back as we are new to the area and excited to find a boba spot that we enjoyed so much!

    Popcorn chicken, Chili Spicy
    Chrenzoe Christian B.

    No question, this is HAPPY LEMON serving fried chicken. That thing is addicting, dangerously good, spicy and phenomenal. I had to order 3 more for the road! It was that good! I wish I had ordered 10 more! TAKE MY MONEY! One way to start a good service is their smiles. Great job Happy Lemon Team! We went on a non busy hour trying to pick up new stuff for my hamster. So I couldn't really get a rating on the ambiance. But overall, my experience at this Happy Lemon Spot is STUPENDOUS! I will definitely come back and try their other chicken flavors and other new drinks. Thanks!

    Service is really bad. They literally forgot to give the waffle after it was made for 10 minutes..kind of defeats the purpose

    The boba here was so good, I had to give it up cold turkey--it was getting out of control.

    I stopped by for takeout. They have a wide variety of drinks…read moremade with different types of tea leaves, so I'd say this place is great not just for boba lovers, but also for people who genuinely enjoy tea. The food menu was also more extensive than I expected, making it a good spot if you're a little hungry too! Xiangxi Hot and Sour Rice Noodles You can choose the spice and sourness level, so I went with extra sour. I thought it would be small since it's listed as a side dish, but the portion was big lol. The peanuts added a really nice crunchy texture too! Changsha Stinky Tofu It was my first time trying stinky tofu, and wow...the smell was definitely strong and the flavor was super unique. I think it's one of those foods people either love or hate, but it's definitely worth trying at least once for the experience!

    Tried a few different drinks here to see what they hype is about as I always see a lot of people…read morehere when driving by since it's near busy intersection. It's a bit of a mixed bag depending on what you get. The lychee milk tea with 50% sugar and less ice was a 6.5 because you can barely taste the lychee, it was very faint and just tasted like a regular milk tea. The da hong pao milk tea with 25% sugar and less ice was also a 6.5 since it had a really strong herbal taste that I wasn't a huge fan of. The best one was definitely the ceylon cheese milk tea at 25% sugar. It was way more creamy and rich than the others so I'd give that a 6.9.
