Happy Lemon has seriously kept growing on me since they started booming up all over the place. For this location: Pros: - they don't mess up the green tea with salted cheese (yermmmm) - free Wifi, worthy place to bring a laptop to sit and study/chill - Love that all happy lemons accept the same rewards card that you have - plenty of parking in this plaza - pretty good service, not too crowded on weekday afternoon. read more

I usually go to this spot when they have cupsleeve events! My go-to drink is the Mango Matcha! I also like their bubble waffles! I've tried the original and the chocolate one, and they're both really good! I love having puff cream with it! Only downside is how long it takes for the bubble waffle to be ready. The service is also okay. Def worth a try if you're having boba cravings! read more

Thank you to the young man who made the red bean egg waffle and recommended the matcha with tiramisu salted cheese for my mom. I have never seen her drink something this quickly. It really brightened up her day. I hope you get to finish your tattoo sleeve soon with the red, blue and gold that you've envisioned. read more

I've heard of Happy Lemon, just never walked in one and had their milk teas until today, 4/3/2019. I had the orange mango milk tea w/ boba. Very interesting. There were little orange peel pieces inside I think? Well, next time I will order less of that, because it felt like a weird texture, but still OK to drink. The taste of the milk tea, was very good though. A little on the sweeter side, so next time I will ask for a little less sweet. My husband had the Oreo milk tea. I tried his, and it was really weird. Not used to a Oreo milk tea. He thought it was an interesting/weird taste too. Good to try once though. The atmosphere is a very cute setting. They have lemons in the front, because obviously, it's called Happy Lemon. LOL They have a cute tip jar, not hard to miss. Bright lights for signage. Almost everything is yellow, just like lemons. While waiting for our order, we noticed that a guy came in from DoorDash to pick up. So, that's good to know for those who like to use DoorDash. Here, they actually give you a chip shaped as a lemon w/ your order number on it. Very cute & unique. Others boba places, just has the receipt number for you to go by as. Chill place. read more

Came here on a weekday evening around 8:30PM, it closes at 9PM but I asked whether we could sit outside at the tables and they left two chairs out for us. We sat inside first and then moved outside after they closed. I saw puff cream but wasn't sure what puff cream was, so I asked and was given a sample to try; it's made of cream and pudding, quite thick. I got the ube milk tea with taro puff cream and taro balls, but they had run out of taro balls which I was sad about but switched to grass jelly. The tea was really strong and good quality, and I'm not sure there was an ube flavor in the milk tea but it was good. We also got buy one get one 50% off, I'm not sure why but yay! read more

I love this Happy Lemon location! Service is always great with courteous and happy staff. I am tired of going to other boba places and getting terrible service and staff that seems to hate their jobs. Why so many boba places have unfriendly staff? I love their teas with lemon. Their egg waffles are perfection!! read more

Always our go-to place! Can never go wrong with salted cheese. Our top 2 favorites are Oreo Tiramisu and Strawberry Black Tea with Salted Cheese. The staff are nice and friendly too! We also did catering (50 drinks) from them and it was the smoothest process! We contacted the store manager last minute and he made so much accommodations that helped us a lot. We picked up our catering order. The manager made sure the drinks will be served fresh even though they didn't make it at the event. read more

Happy Lemon is located in Newark. For once, I missed a Grand Opening weekend for Happy Lemon. I finally made it to this location, and there wasn't a very long line for BOGO drinks. The place had a decent crowd, and there wasn't a line to order, so I got up to the counter and ordered a Grapefruit Green Tea with Aloe. There was a wait as the folks seated inside were waiting for their drinks to be prepared. This gave me time to check out the interior, as there was no Grand Opening line blocking the view. I got my drink, and it was tasty and refreshing. Where will the next location open? read more

Update: I believe Happy Lemon Newark heard out the advices and reviews here and I am glad to say they have improved and their drinks taste delicious!! Happy lemon is always me go to boba place as their tea quality, toppings, and flavors always stay consistent and fresh each time. This location has very good service and the staff are nice. They offer a decent amount of seating for 2-3 groups. I always order a strawberry green tea with aloe Vera; the strawberry blended with the tea gives it a very fresh and taste that is not too overwhelming. Their boba's texture is stays consistent through the many times I ordered; not too soft and not too chewy. I recommend the puff cream boba milk tea for those who want boba and like a little creamy-sweet taste to it read more

There was plenty of parking and we were here to waste time before our movie started. I think there were a few others inside but a lot of seats and tables available. I assume this place was around for awhile but it was clean and looked new to me. I ordered D4 Green Milk Tea ($4.75) and I forgot what my friend ordered. The drink came out pretty quick since it wasn't busy. The Green Milk Tea tasted good and would be one of my go-to drinks if I didn't want the normal milk tea. The boba was soft and chewy as well. I would come back if I was in the area and wanted some milk tea. read more

We came here on a Wednesday where they have buy 1 get 50% off. We loved it! I ordered a milk tea salter cheese and matcha latte with salted cheese. Both drinks are solidly yummy. I ended up coming back in an hour to get the waffles for my 2 sons. They are both insanely loving it. Will definitely come here more often. Ps: the staff is very professional and wonderful. The owner, Howie , is very thoughtful and mindful of our needs. Will definitely come here more often :) read more

Happy Lemon is my absolute fav boba place. They have the original salted cream cheese for drinks that all the other places are replicating now. Also their matcha mango is off the hook. I always get the lemon tea tho since their lemons are fresh from Taiwan. I took a star off of this review since this location is suppose to close at 9pm but if you arrive at 8:55pm, they won't take your order cause the girls who work there want to get off early you can tell when a boba shop is a chain store and have hired employees who work there like this one vs the other ones who are mom/pop owned (they'll still take your order if you arrive after 9pm). Doesn't really give customers a good experience to close before your closing hours since they went out of their way to come here. read more

I have been waiting for my waffle for 30 mins and I saw they gave it to the customer even after me. I will not come back to this place again

The Staff at the counter was so kind and friendly! It was my first time in this store and the cafe was clean and my order was ready quickly. They suggested for me to try their Mango Matcha Boba which was delicious and the Oreo Waffles also checked off all the boxes for me The cafe was clean and my order was ready quickly. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others. Great little spot with good employees. read more

*Warning Review Contains Explicit Language (not by me but the cause of the bad review). Although I quite enjoy the drinks here, I am tired of walking into Boba establishments that constantly play music with explicit language. I myself am a fan of a variety of music including ones with explicit language, however there are appropriate times and places to to listen to such music. I would be extremely upset if I had brought my nephews or nieces here. Even though we very clearly heard the music and lyrics, we choose to Shazam the song to confirm before we wrote this review. Here is the information of our visit: Customer service was fine and appropriate No other customers in the store (thankfully). Time of visit approximately 5:40pm Name of song being played: Drip too Hard by Lil Baby & Gunna read more

So I'm going to average my reviews here after coming 4-5 times already. Most of the times I would give this place a 4 for their good quality drinks and service but I've come a few times where this place deserves nothing better than a 1 star. The good: I've ordered the strawberry green tea and the Cheese Foam on top which was delicious. I honestly like it on the side because I usually transport it home and it always gets all mixed in by the time I'm home. They do a really good job packaging it for me. The Bad: A few times I've been here they've been extremely short handed and slow with orders. I went on a Saturday when they first opened and there was literally 1 poor girl at the register taking orders then going to make all of the orders herself. One other customer who got there before it opened, left because it took so long to get his order in. There was another employee in the back doing literally nothing and the girl in the front asked him "can you please help me make some of the orders" and looked at her and went back to the kitchen doing nothing. Horrible service and that guy needs to be fired or at least talked to. Overall, inconsistent service. Pretty good drinks but higher price range $5-6. Drinks are also inconsistent. I ordered 50% sugar and my sister always gets 0% and I saw them make it from the same batch... They tasted the same also. read more

First time trying Happy Lemon and I have to say, I'm disappointed. Didn't even know there was a Happy Lemon at this location so I figured why not on a Monday morning. Usually the place is busy so finding the place empty was cool. Not sure if it was this location specifically or maybe the employee who was salty like the salted cheese they put in their bobas. I was not greeted when coming in. Strike 1. Since she was the only person I saw working, I brushed it off and continued to read over their menu since, its my first time ;)........YOO, why did this girl make me feel like one of the Asian buses that take people to the casinos just arrived and now have a line out the door?!! Every drink I would ask about, she'd literally have an attitude and seemed annoyed. GIRL, ITS MY FIRST TIME, WE DONT GOTTA RUSH. I need to know what's in my drink especially if you plan on putting some cheese topping on it! *rolls eyes* Strike 2. So we finally get our drinks, regular boba milk tea and a "fav" (Oreo milk tea). Hands me my 2 drinks, 2 straws and zero "Thank you, have a nice day" greeting. Strike 3. Overall the service could use more work. Definitely not a boba spot I would randomly crave or go out the way of getting especially since they do not offer food snacks. read more

A delicious treat on a warm day. My brother recommended this place and I saw it when I was leaving the gym. Not exactly a great post workout drink but I wanted to try it. I had the cookies and cream w/ salt cheese and pearls. It sounds like a weird combo but it was actually very complimentary. This is because after I have a drink through the straw, I would sip the salt cheese through the lid opening. The service was friendly and wasn't pushy, like how I've experienced in boba tea places. I'm not a boba connoisseur so I take a while ordering b/c there are so many options. I do recommend this location and will be a repeat customer. read more

Ahh, Happy Lemon. You're quite the boba juggernaut, aren't you? Not only have you successfully permeated most of the Bay Area, but your consistency and quality just cannot be beat. There's really nothing new I can say about you that others have not said, but I'll continue this review with the utmost praise. Service is friendly with employees greeting every person with enthusiasm as they walk through the door. Efficiency isn't a problem with drinks coming out at a reasonable pace and the cups are wiped clean of any residual moisture. For my first visit, I chose the Oreo milk tea at 75% sweetness and with less ice. It tasted just as it was described: creamy, sweet, and full of Oreo goodness. It is a bit of a bummer though that the Oreo pieces do stick to the side of the cup. All in all, Happy Lemon emulates what real boba success looks like. I don't think I can find a single person who doesn't know about it and it's even more rare to find someone who doesn't like it. Happy Lemon just has it all! read more

It's not the name over the door, but the person on the phone who makes a company what it is. Today I got some great help from someone in a big company by phone. Wanting to send some treats to the whole office as a thank you, I called Happy Lemon. Ashley answered and was SO kind and helpful, you can hear the smile in her voice. Thank YOU. For a large order, she passed me to her manager. Manager Howie was great. Helped me choose and put together a large order. He too, kind and helpful, made things *really easy* over the phone. He offered to deliver the order personally. I then told him to charge me some more so I could give a big tip. What kind of guy is this? He said he'd give it all to Ashley. THAT's a good manager, inspires all the employees to give the best service anywhere! read more

My friends never tired it so I told them we should try it out to see if we like it one of my friends didn't enjoy it because there's only lemon in drinks I mean it's not that bad as you make it seem. I tried the one in Stockton and I like it so much so I came back would recommend to try. read more

This review is strictly for the chocolate waffle only. My daughter wanted a chocolate waffle so I picked this place since it was across the street from my work place. The store wasn't busy but for some reason, the cashier kept saying "grapefruit lemon slushy" when I said I wanted a chocolate waffle. She had asked me twice and I kept saying chocolate waffle. In the end, she finally accepted that I didn't want to order a drink. Our waffle took 10 minutes to be cooked and it was aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately, the taste was just mediocre. The waffle wasn't sweet and the interior didn't have the "mochi" texture that I was expecting. read more

Yo! I am not mad at this spot. There are tons of boba & boba like places in the bay. Happy Lemon was def one my friends were telling me to try out. - Heading in, the staff of three welcomed us. Honestly, the first thing I noticed was their music selection --which was dope. Lol. They had a few tables w customers either doing work quietly or folks just hanging out. The staff offered my boyfriend and I a sample of a drink w their cheese topping . They recommended it with green tea. What I liked is before we tried it, the guy, told us how to drink it. Slowly, to get the cheese topping & to finish off w the green tea. I thought it was very helpful for him to explain to us the proper way & to let us know all the 'tea' about this cheese topping. Real cool. - Okay, y'all. The menu seemed overwhelming bc I wanted to try like 5 drinks, but it's pretty solid. Clearly, I gotta come back. And when I tell you what I tried, I know y'all will laugh. Bc my boyfriend did. BUT HEY, I thought it was tasty! I thought the ingredients went HARD. So, I got the matcha & banana w pineapple.. I am allergic to mango, which limited me. Two thumbs up! - They do serve snacks as well. Packaged snacks only! *Picture below* read more

Their drinks are pretty good, what needs to improve is their customer service. My boyfriend and I came in & there were 2 people working. This Asian girl who was the cashier with short hair looked very annoyed that we even came in. We told her, "give us a sec," as we were looking at the menu and I swear this cashier doesn't have patience. She doesn't even say a word, but instead raises her brow. We were the only people in line, too, so I have no idea why she was giving us that "hurry up & order look." We're finally ready to order & she yells at the speaker. That caught me off guard at how loud it was & she raises her brows again. My boyfriend and I both look at each other and we're just like "SMH, this girl has to go -_-." We continue to order after and honestly we just wanted to get out. read more
