    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

    Tarini S.

    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.

    popcorn chicken

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

    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 :)

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

I love that you bc an do 0% sugar for almost every single drink, and do a $0.50 monk fruit option. But take note, monk fruit is expensive and barely sweet so it won't add much sweetness at all. Order your drink online ahead too; because there's almost always a 15-40 minute wait, especially on a warm day.

    There's almost always an hour+ wait here, so I definitely recommend ordering online ahead of time…read more I live nearby, so I just placed my order in-store and came back about an hour later to pick it up. I ordered the Yumberry Yogurt Drink, Peach Gum Drink, and Grape Yogurt Drink. I got all of them at 30% sweetness, and they were still pretty sweet, so I'd recommend ordering them with even less sugar if you prefer drinks that aren't overly sweet. Even though they're always busy with orders, it wasn't crowded inside. I was able to find a seat since most people just grab their drinks and leave. The drinks are very fruit-forward and taste incredibly fresh and high quality. If you enjoy fruity drinks, this place is definitely worth trying. My favorite was the Yumberry Yogurt Drink because it was so unique--I've never had anything quite like it before. It reminded me a bit of a mulberry drink with a creamy yogurt twist, and I'd definitely order it again.

    I'm not someone who writes a review the moment I sit down somewhere. But I'm writing this before…read moreI've even finished my tea because of how humiliating this experience was. They completely ruined our day. A close friend I hadn't seen in years was visiting with their family, and we had two young children with us. We ordered two drinks and one snack. At 3:42 PM, I received an "Order Ready for Pickup" notification on my phone. When I went to pick it up, only the drinks were ready. I picked up the receipt to check whether I had somehow forgotten to order the snack. At that moment, I politely asked the employee at the register, ADSON, if the snack had been missed or if it was ready somewhere else. After all, my phone had just told me that my order was ready. His reaction was unbelievable. He responded as if I had insulted him and said in a rude tone, "If it were ready, we would have pressed the button on the computer." I explained that I was only asking because I had received the pickup notification. He then replied, "Then you'll have to wait." I told him that I was already waiting and had simply asked a question. He then responded, "You will put the receipt there, and we'll see it," in the same dismissive tone. I wasn't demanding anything. I wasn't complaining. I was simply asking because my order had been marked as ready even though part of it was missing. That's a completely reasonable question for any customer to ask. He scolded a 40-year-old woman in front of her two children and guests she hadn't seen in years. Please review the security camera footage. Look at his facial expressions, body language, and the way he treated us. It didn't stop there. He completely ignored us afterward. Our receipt was left crumpled on the counter. Eventually, my friend had to go up and explain the situation again. Only then did he reluctantly say, "Let me check," and walk away. He came back carrying a tray with several orders. We were standing right in front of the counter, and he was fully aware of what had just happened. Yet he handed out everyone else's food first. Ours was deliberately left until the very end, and then he literally threw our order onto the counter without even looking at us. We finally received our complete order at 4:02 PM--about 20 minutes after I had already been notified that it was ready. I have rarely seen someone in customer service behave in such a passive-aggressive and disrespectful manner toward a customer. I was embarrassed in front of my guests. I was embarrassed in front of my children. No customer deserves to be treated this way. I want the manager of this location to contact me. This level of customer service is completely unacceptable. Who do you think you are treating people like this?

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.

I love oats in milk teas, but surprisingly many places have cut it out as an add on topping option. The Amber Oolong Milk Tea has medium light oolong flavor but is overall very balance in sweetness and creaminess. I liked it and would order it again. They have jasmine tea, non-milk teas and also other add ons like tea jelly and boba. Their fruit tea options include mango, peach, strawberry and apple. The do a black sesame tea, mung bean tea and have seasonal creations also. You order at a screen and they bring the drink out quickly. There is not always someone visible in the front of the house to answer questions. They don't have too many seats. There is plenty of parking in Downtown Sunnyvale, just a short walk away!
