    H1. Lemon Slushy
    Daisy i.

    The first time I tried this place I found the slushies to be a bit bitter. I started ordering the mango slushy and the fruit purée adds a perfect level of sweetness. There's usually only one employee working, overall it's a nice spot to pick up a drink.

    Stopped in on Friday afternoon. Parking is limited in Crocker Village. We ordered 5 drinks. Everything came out quickly. My son liked the Oreo milk tea with boba.

    Soooo lemony! [Sacramento CA] We were already in the area so we stopped by Happy Lemon before heading home. Located in the Crocker Village in Sacramento... this is my first Happy Lemon visit anywhere. Hubby was not too thrilled because they didn't have his avocado drink, I gently reminded him there was a reason they called it Happy "Lemon" I ordered the Mango Lemon slushy... the drink was nice and tart, very refreshing, energizing, tasty and tropical... never mind that it was 44° in mid December outside. The flavor was overwhelming in tartness and packed the pucker power! It came with lychee jello but I had it substituted with boba. Customer service was great. My drink was ready before I could say "whoooeeeey!" Review #3631

    A8. Milk Tea Salted Cheese, F5. Strawberry Milk Shake Smoothie with puff cream

    We love visiting Happy Lemon to satisfy our boba and egg puff cravings. We always order the original egg puffs with salted cheese and the salted cheese milk tea with boba. No complaints with these 2 items on every visit. The strawberry milkshake with puff cream and boba was delicious as well. I do not recall the name of the other lemon tea. It was too tart for my liking. I am looking forward to my next visit.

    Service can be quite slow even though there's about 2 other customers in the store who has already ordered. Since teas (not milk teas) are usually sweeter on their own, I suggest lowering sweetness. Unfortunately, I got this same drink about 2 visits later and my tea was watered down. Almost as if the tea was not brewed long enough. A little disappointed.

    Something bout that D5 with puff cream and slight boba balls just hits good. Nice for refreshing day to get it rolling ya feel. Just wish I had bought the houses across back in 2021

    The closest place to get bubble tea with boba to UC Davis Cancer Center. The boba specialist do a great job helping their customers, even giving me a sample to try out some teas to ensure I like it before wasting money for something I dont like. Kudos to you Happy Lemon Employees. Pros: -They do rewards programs, so please sign up. For every 10 purchase of bubble tea, you get 1 free. :) -The lobby is clean. The aroma is fresh! Cons: -No military/veterans discount. -And no Okinawa donuts. The signage threw me off, and I ended up ordering an Okinawa Drink. :(

    Full menu. Prices as of April 2024. Tried to get photo with as little glare as possible.

    I stopped in with a group of three others while in the area for work around 5pm on a Friday, as when I searched for boba near me, Happy Lemon was one of the top search results. I did not know it was a franchise until my arrival. All of us unfamiliar with the menu, we ended up ordering a large boba milk tea (D1), a medium mango lemon slushy (H5), and a medium kumquat lemon green tea with lychee jelly (E10). Price was roughly $18. I found it neat how you could adjust both the sugar and ice levels on the drinks, the options being: normal, less, half, light, and none. The staff member who took our order was polite, however on two the drinks we asked for them to be made with less sugar, and they responded both times with they couldn't for one reason or another. I wonder if that was inherently true. By far, my favorite drink was the basic boba milk tea, but it didn't have enough ice! We didn't adjust the ice level at all, and it was basically fully melted and only barely above room temp. Some of the tapioca pearls were very chewy the way I prefer, but I found some of them to be a bit hard in the middle. My second favorite drink was the kumquat lemon green tea with lychee jelly! I'm glad I didn't get it less sweet because I think it would've been too bitter, as there was certainly a bitter-citrus flavor from the kumquat, but I enjoyed it. My least favorite was the mango lemon slushy, it was way too sweet and syrupy! It was not at all worth the $6. I do want to try Happy Lemon again, as I did not try their salted cheese options, which seems to be their specialty. I would like to try their boba milk tea with puff cream or their black tea with salted cheese.

    It's always so hard for me to pick a drink here at Happy Lemon because everything sounds good! TIP: come on a Wednesday to take advantage of their buy 2 get 1 free deal! I wanted the classic green tea with salted cheese but decided to try something new instead. The ube milk tea with ube puff cream and taro balls was pretty good, and the sweetness is balanced between the plain texture of the taro balls and the sweeter puff cream. But if I was going to come back, I'd stick with my usual green tea with salted cheese because it always hits the spot! We also had an Okinawa milk tea with puff cream which was pretty good, but on the sweeter side, and a mango Yakult smoothie which is a very refreshing non caffeinated option. It has mango chunks and although the Yakult causes it to separate after a while, just give it a little stir and it still tastes just as good.

    Great location in the Sac City College/Land Park/Curtis Park area, next to Ono Hawaiian and nearby Somi Somi. I like this particular Happy Lemon because they aren't as busy as the other ones and their service is fast. I ordered 2 large drinks, customized ice and sweetness levels on both, and added mango boba and salted cheese cream to my mango green tea. Prices for a large about $6+. I got my 2 drinks and right away I noticed there wasn't any salted cheese cream. I gave it back to the staff and she politely apologized and added it to the drink. It was delicious and the mango boba pearls were refreshing. My husband loved his lemon green tea. You cant go wrong with any of their lemon drinks! Makes me happy that they found a home in this new shopping center.

    This Happy Lemon is near Sacramento City College in a new shopping center. Everything inside the store looks spotless. The employee at the cashier is very friendly. I have my drinks a few minutes after the order is placed. It is delicious!

    Why does the phone go straight to a prerecorded message? I wanted to see if you have boba before I drive over since you've been out every time I've arrived for months.

    Every time I've gone the past few weeks there has been boba.

    Is there any option for online ordering?

    They accept order through DoorDash

    They have a location in Milpitas that I love so when I found out about this one, I was uber…read moreexcited. The service here blew me away with how nice they are. Someone with me ordered their burger and forgot to ask for it to be gluten free, and they remade the whole thing, no questions asked! There's also clean bathrooms (code 2000# on July 2, 2026) and a soothing water feature. There's indoor and outdoor seating (booths inside and tables outside). In the evening time, the outdoor seating is in the shade.

    I will say that if you are unable to tell the difference between 'vegan' food and real meat, then…read morethe business must be doing something right. Those of you that know me already know that I am a big time meat eater. But I am always open to soy protein and impossible meat options. This takes me to the Arden neighborhood of Sacramento where I had the opportunity to try out "RAW Superfood Cafe". Located in the Howe Bout Arden shopping center, this place has been opened since early-2024 while replacing the once popular "CREAM" which was a surprise since they did not last long in this busy outdoor strip mall. Prior to coming here, I've already heard of RAW Superfood Cafe as they have 3 locations in the Bay Area; San Jose, Milpitas, and San Jose; and 2 locations in the Sacramento area; Elk Grove and this one that I am reviewing. I ended up coming here during the afternoon on Friday 6/5/2026 at around 5:15pm. The inside area is very bright, cheerful, and lively with a few tables with leather booth-seating, bamboo wood paneling, and fake grass with the business name aligned to it. Additionally, there is a large digital kiosk where you can place your order and pay using a card or smartphone. The specialty here are their blended and layered bowls which offer a huge assortment of customizable creations. This is where you can choose a base (for example, açaí, mango, dragonfruit, etc.) while picking various toppings (nuts, fruits, coconut chips, etc.) and finishing it off with a drizzle of vanilla, chocolate, or anything you might be craving. However, they also offer a vast amount of smoothies, protein shakes, wellness drinks, blended and iced coffee beverages, and even a respectable amount of food. When I say food, this just isn't a couple items; this is more a few dozen food items to choose from. Everything from various sandwiches, burgers, breakfast toasts, bagels, salads, and soups. Since I was craving an actual meal/drink, I went with their "Bánh Mì Sandwich" (priced at $13.95). This sandwich consisted of house Asian sauce, caramelized onions, pickled daikon, carrots, cilantro, mayo, jalapeño, and cucumber. I paired this a refreshingly cold-pressed Calamansi juice (priced at $5.50). I ordered this exclusively on the kiosk and paid for it digitally via-Apple Pay. Within 5-7 minutes, my drink and food was ready for pickup. I am quite picky about my Bánh Mì Sandwiches but for them to substitute this with vegan meat was an absolute win-win for me. The 'meat' was well-seasoned, tender, and packed with flavor while the bread was soft and made to perfection. Even my drink hit the spot on a seasonably warm 94°F day. I thoroughly enjoyed this while dining inside a very clean, sterile, and bright interior while the employees were absolutely friendly and accommodating. With that said and done, I am giving the Arden "RAW Superfood Cafe" a perfect and unanimous five-star rating.
