Ordered grapefruit lemon slushy with boba. Tasty drink but a little too sweet for me. Big drink but high price point. Surprised that younger crowd is able to afford such drinks on a regular basis. Service was very pleasant and friendly. read more

Happy Lemon makes me happy. They first introduced me to their signature salted cheese foam. Don't knock it until you've tried it! Colorful place with a few seats to lounge around and relax. Today, I got their Black Tea with Salted Cheese. The foam is savory, yet sweet. Yum. The service was welcoming and friendly as I entered the store. read more

We ordered a strawberry matcha, mango matcha, Oreo waffle, and original waffle Strawberry matcha: the strawberry had a strong jelly flavor instead of fresh strawberries so this wasn't my favorite Mango matcha: 10/10 favorite drink ever! Waffles: not too sweet and has crispy edges but it took about 15 minutes to make even though we were the only people at the store read more

I've been to another location but first time at this one. I love the cure decor. It's a nice spot to hang out and get a drink or snack. We two lemonade based drinks because we didn't want caffeine. I also wanted a bubble waffle and I forgot how good they are. I saved a bit for my toddler and she didn't think twice when I offered her some. It was gone in seconds. I guess I have to bring her with us next time. read more

Service was quick and helpful, especially for only 1 person out working when we came in. Bright, cheery, some low background k-pop-ish music playing. Got a Fruit Smoothie, G3, mango Yakult smoothie, 75%sweet, with lychee jelly. Got it very quickly and was really nice. I think next time I would go 25 or 50% sweet. The lychee jelly added a good bit of sweetness on its own. Only slight issue is that the ordering monitors image is a little blurry. Hard to read the letter-number of each item. Maybe the raw electronic file has issues? Will be back. read more

Maybe it was just this drink, but I wasn't really a fan. It was very refreshing for a hot day, but was a little sour in my opinion (even though I got normal sweetness). I also really didn't like the seeds in the drink - it was bitter but also I wasn't really expecting it to be in it, it was hard to bite. Will be avoiding this drink in the future. read more

I believe that Happy Lemon was one of the first few boba places that included Salted Cheese as an ingredient/topping to their boba. After the first time trying the topping, its stolen my heart and the world's heart since. I've had only positive experiences at the multiple Happy Lemon locations I've been to. In front of the ordering counter, I like watching people take pictures with the decorative lemon figurine. Most recently, I ordered the salted cheese oat milk tea with boba: a classic for me. My order was made quickly, and I think they have since improved on their cheese topping since I first came to Happy Lemon years ago. Most of their drinks are classic now, but I always enjoy coming to a Happy Lemon near me to get boba and occasionally, a bubble waffle or two. read more

Happy Lemon x Jean's Tea-ppuccino with Sky Cream & Oreo tea has a nice mild roast to it cream has some weight to it, making it a dessert-y drink mix is a sweet, fluffy, creamy treat cream is not overly sweet but instead employs the help of a bit of saltiness (not like the amount in salted cheese but like the amount you would to bring out the sweetness and depth of dark chocolate, not that this is bitter like dark chocolate) to enhance the feeling of a flavorful but soft taste overall a nice drink but unfortunately gated behind a $20+ collab bundle to even try one (but I did it for you guys and also Jean is my favorite chronic workaholic) $22.91 12/14/24 read more

My go to drink here is the A8 - salted cream milk tea. Initially, I thought it would be odd to have something savory in a sweet drink, but after accidentally ordering it once - I've become addicted and this is my usual drink when I come here. Their bubble waffles are also great - I've tried all the flavors and my favorite is the chocolate. The waffles do take some time to make, but it's usually less than a 10 min wait. This location is also close to a high school, so expect to have tons of people hanging out in the early afternoon. Parking is decent, but can be tight at times, depending on the day/time. Overall, the workers are fast and efficient. Most of the time, there's no issues with ordering through the app and/or at the register. read more

I like this location because it's near my work , the drinks are good . I like to get the salted cheese with jasmine tea . today I experience something that made me not want to come so often after today . I am Vietnamese American mixed & I may not look it but I speak Vietnamese & understand it really well . As I was standing there waiting for them to take my order and employee walks in to start her shift ( short hair older Vietnamese girl) and she says " what does this lady want? " in English it doesn't sound so bad but in Vietnamese it comes off pretty rude how you use your pronouns . I then told the cashier , " I hope you know I understand Vietnamese" she's just chuckles and proceeds to ask me what I want to order . No apology whatsoever . Before you speak your own language with each other please make sure you're not being rude especially with customers around because customers may understand what you're saying . read more

I really liked that this location is adjacent to many food options. I didn't realize that this location is in the same parking lot as Trader Joe's ( closest to Taco Bell ). Service was great super friendly and helpful while making decisions about what waffle to get .. to dip or not dip lol Ambiance is small but does have a gender neutral restroom , an accessibility table perfectly in front of pick up section . Overall we had a great time with my son Elijah hearing the upbeat music and trying out new drink flavors . Will be returning ! Pro tip : download the Happy Lemon app and scan before check out to accumulate points. read more

Nothing much to say about this spot - it's a very standard Happy Lemon location. I will give it props for the Salted Cheese Vietnamese Coffee, which had such an amazing balance of flavors and was made at the perfect sweetness level (75%), though I've not tried the same drink at other locations. Since there were two Viet coffee based drinks (One with their puff cream, or the salted cheese one I got), I had tried to ask which one the cashier recommended, and they gave the pretty helpful tip that the puff cream one was less coffee tasting and more creamy, though it was in a pretty curt and slightly rude manner. All in all nothing super stand out except for the drink! This location is near plenty of food options and a Trader Joes though so it's a decent stop! read more

Their drinks are addictive and customized to your taste. The salted cheese drink is a favorite along with their bubble waffle. Service is always prompt and it's a hit with younger customers and school kids always. Wish they had more reasonable prices compared to some of the other bubble tea places and a more convenient online ordering option read more

This is such a happy place. The decor is bright and cheerful, the service was upbeat and the treats made me happy too! I got the boba cake which I was having for the first time. Think tiramisu but better than most tiramisus... it was very good. I also got the salted ice cream which was great too. Yeah, I got and ate two desserts at the same time. I was vulnerable ok...don't judge me! read more

I love happy lemon but today I went in for a gift card and they said sorry we don't have any gift cards as I'm staring at one that is clearly taped to the glass in front of me. Just a suggestion if you're out of them maybe take down the taped one that you clearly aren't using or maybe offer it to someone since it's just sitting there. read more

I have been coming to this Happy Lemon for years since I used to live in the area, so it pains me to write this. The Mango Matcha and Okinawa Milk Tea here never failed me. However, I tried their Green Milk Tea and it was AWFULLY watered down. No jasmine tea flavor at all. Tasted like water and milk. The quality has seemed to fall over the years. read more

Why is it every time I come here I absolutely blank on what to order??? Shout out to the young Asian gentleman with long black hair that helped me pick a drink because I was completely clueless. I always want to try something new.. never the type of person to be a regular somewhere or have "the usual". So this place is kind of like paradise for me. Over a hundred options I could choose from. We decided to go with one sour and one sweet drink. The okinawa milk tea drink: delicious. This was the drink the young man recommended for me. If chi tea and Crème brûlée had a baby this is what it would taste like. I only did 75% of the usual sugar though. It's on the sweeter side so proceed with caution. The mango lemonade slushy: woooooowww so good and so refreshing. The alcoholic in me wished I could put a tequila shot in there and call it a marg. If I had a regular order this would probably be it. But I'll probably order a different drink next time and wish I ordered this one instead. One day I'm gonna build up the courage to try the salty cheese ones but today was not that day lol read more

I tried their black tea with salted cheese again, having forgotten that I already tried it in the past. I didn't love it. The salted cheese is pretty strong if it's not mixed into the drink - it's quite salty, sweet, and creamy. It's good, but it's not something I'd want to consume a lot of by itself. When mixed in with the tea, it's OK - nothing amazing. I want to try it again in the future with green tea - perhaps that'll be more fragrant. read more

Great service, but the menu overwhelmed me! I heard about Happy Lemon, but when I was working down the street, I decided to stop by on my way home. I tried the S7 (Signature C?). I think it's a great drink on a hot summer day, not a November-Fall drink. I love lemon, but the crushed ice made me turn on my heater. If I thought it out, I would have cut back on the sweetener because I don't like my drinks too sweet. COVID-19 rules: Only two people allowed in the store at a time. Contactless payment preferred, but they won't say no to cash. Masks at all times Hand sanitizer is available I will check it out again and hopefully won't let the menu overwhelm me! read more

Came here because I was craving for some milk tea with boba. I went on a Saturday afternoon and there weren't too many people at the store. I got the milk tea with salted cream (A8) medium with boba thought overall it was a really good drink! I really like the salted cream on the top. I think the saltiness with the cream complements the milk tea really well. One minor comment about the lid design was that it was a little difficult to drink the milk tea using the mouth opening when I had the straw in too to eat the boba. I felt like the straw was going to hit my head when I went in to drink using the mouth opening so I had to use my hand to move the straw away when I wanted to have the salted cream. Overall, a pretty solid boba place. It's a little bit on the pricey side for how much you get so it'a probably not a place I'd go frequently. read more

Happy Lemon - Menu 11/2022 - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Jose, California

I came here back in 2018 when they first opened and was glad to see there is a happy lemon near me. I don't have to drive to Cupertino just to go to one anymore. Strangely enough the first day of their opening was my birthday. I was celebrating with friends in DTSJ and was unable to drive over. During their first day they were offering buy one get one free and even a day later they were still nice enough to offer me another drink free after I told them that I was too shook up on my birthday to drive. The staff at this happy lemon are very nice. They often greet you with a smile when serving you. Not sure if they had a change in employees but the service here is very friendly. If drinks are not your thing then you can also grab some one of of kind chips that you can only find here. Drawback: As with any happy lemon, this place is on the higher end when it comes to boba joints. read more

I've been to more bubble tea shops in both New York and California than I can count and I can say with full confidence Happy Lemon San Jose is by far one of the best (the other best is the happy lemon in Berkeley). I've gone to this location many times when I'm in the Bay Area (worth the 45 min drive from SF) because of 1) the service and 2) the boba. Incredible service and even more incredible bubble tea -- the flavors are so balanced with just the right amount of sweetness to my liking. Not to mention, during this time of COVID, the store is very clean and employees exhibit the proper precautions needed that make me feel safe and comfortable to pick up my regular bubble tea! Last, this bubble tea shop has new flavor combos and new stuff on the menu to try. I've never been disappointed trying something new. read more

Happy Lemon - So many different flavors! Hard to choose one so I ordered 5! - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - San Jose, California

This is my neighborhood Happy Lemon, it's about 4 min down the road from my house but yesterday I ordered through door dash. I come here often and just order at the counter and I always have INCREDIBLE SERVICE in store but this time I did delivery. My delivery driver, alerted that they had dropped off my order. I checked my door step, nothing was there. I even checked my next-door neighbors and still nothing. I texted/called the dasher and she read the texts and didn't reply! So I contacted door dash customer service to complain I hadn't received my drinks 20 min later. They apologized and re ordered it for me. Almost immediately after I got of the phone a fellow person on my block came up with two empty cups apologizing that it was left on his door and they knocked it over. Good think it re ordered ha. Well anyways a gentleman from Happy Lemon called me to double check why the same order was going through and check in, once I explained he was so nice. When my second order arrived not only we're they sealed but had such a nice note! It said "I sealed them for no spill" what's funny is the second dasher leaned the drinks against my door so when I opened my door they fell over LUCKILY THEY WERE SEALED by the gentleman! The thoroughness to call and check in and then seal it and write a post it note! Going above and beyond and I truly appreciate it! Thank you Happy Lemon!! The drinks are always absolutely delicious as well!! The salted cheese is soooo good!! read more

I love this drink so much. I had no idea what puff cream and honestly I still have no idea what this is after my drink. All I know is that it is their third best seller and it is delicious! I love the milk tea flavor and how creamy the drink is. The last 5 sips were heavenly, the puff cream was stuck in the bottom with my boba and every sip was so satisfying. I will only get this drink from now for sure. The service was amazing. My boyfriend and I zoomed over from the mall just to secure this drink. We came in ten minutes before they close and the workers were already cleaning the tables. When we walked in, neither of them looked upset or rushed. They gladly took our drink and we walked out the boba shop in the best mood!! read more

We were told that the Oreo waffle would take 10-15 mins (3-5 mins if it was one of the 3 basic flavors), but it only took 8 mins for both an oreo and original flavored waffle.

Wasn't in the mood for a "dessert" drink, so I got a mango green tea with mango boba, 50% sweet, no ice. I'm pleasantly surprised, it's pretty good! Very mango-y and refreshing, good amount of boba and fruit bits. 5/5 I've had a salted cheese drink from a different HL location in the past and I remember that one being good too. (Side note: their restroom is out of order as of Jan 7, 2022.) I'll definitely be visiting this chain more! read more

Love this spot!!! Gets busy during the school year around 2:30 but that's ok. Their drinks are yummy!! Waffles are delicious as well

TLDR: Good boba, 5-10min wait, nice flavor. My order: Passion Fruit Green Tea w/ boba, half sugar, half ice. Pros: -Average pricing -Good boba -Not too sweet -Usually short wait -Lots of parking Cons: -Can have stronger tea flavor -Not TP Tea lolol Overall, solid boba place. Stays open later than most other shops. My go-to spot if I don't want to wait at TP Tea. Tips: you can ask for their rewards card. I believe every $4 or $5 spent you can 1 point. 10 points gets you a free drink. read more

We have been coming here since it opened. Great location and easy to get to with parking. Over the last few months the service has been mediocre at best. They rarely seem to get the order right. To make it worse even a bubble waffle that is pretty easy to make -- they provided a broken cold waffle when it should have been warm and fresh. We pay a lot to have these kind of items and when they don't come out right it is a bad look. I love the products and food when they are done right but this location lacks the ability to get the orders right. I can't imagine what it would be like on a busy day. I hope the management will see this review along with some of the other ones. This place has great location but need to get back to the core of the business which is SERVICE - and product DONE RIGHT! read more
