    Drinks (Left to Right): Lemon Black tea, Wintermelon Lemonade, Mango Lemon Slushy
    Chanyaphon C.

    I'm so excited we have a Happy Lemon in Santa Rosa and it's just as good as the other ones if not better! Since it's opened I think I've gone 10 times in total... I love it! I've been obsessed with their Wintermelon Lemonade, it's sooo delicious and refreshing when I want something a little lighter. However for milk teas I definitely recommend their Boba Milk Tea with Puff Cream! The mango lemon slushy is also a great choice that I recommend! However you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And of course... please get their bubble waffle! It's fresh and so delicious. Pair it with the puff cream! They recently added popcorn chicken to their menu and 10/10. Crispy but also juicy and you can choose different spice levels! Every time I go the workers are always super friendly and make ordering comfortable. Highly recommend making the trek into the mall for Happy Lemon!

    I was here for business trip. Never thought was able to find a milk tea and chicken snack in this area. The service was great. Staff was very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone.

    Popcorn chicken was tasty, hot and super fresh! New establishment in the mall at the center of the food court. All of your favorite Boba drinks and snacks in one spot! We can't wait to go back to try all the other items they offer on their menu, specifically the green tea waffle.

    I've been excited about the Santa Rosa Plaza having some new flavors and diversity when it comes to the food court. I'm so happy that Happy Lemon is in town! Extensive boba menu consisting of salted cheese teas, milk tea, brewed tea, fruit tea, slushies, smoothies, lemon teas and yakult teas. You can fully customize your drinks from toppings, sugar, and ice levels. I ordered their mango matcha smoothie and the Okinawa roasted milk tea with boba, Oreo bubble waffle and the salted plum popcorn chicken! Love their drinks so much! I'm a matcha girl, gotta have my matcha, so I had to order the mango matcha. The mango was overpowering over the matcha but it was a unique combination. The popcorn chicken was a tad bit on the salty side, the plum flavor gave it a bit of sweetness. Service was quick, friendly, it took me awhile to decide on my order and he was accommodating. Will definitely be back!

    So glad Happy Lemon opened in Santa Rosa, it's the perfect addition to the plaza. A friend raved about it and so we just had to come! I can see why it's a classic down in the Bay Area! Loved the manager and everyone else working here, I had so many questions about boba! Especially since they have speciality options that other tea stores might not offer. They are expanding the menu with more savory options. Make sure to ask what specialities they might have!

    So exciting to have Happy Lemon as a new addition to the Santa Rosa Plaza! Service was fast and friendly. The drinks were tasty too. Can't forget the egg waffles too! You can't miss it with its beautiful and bright white layout in the food court!

    I usually don't leave reviews but I was amazed by how good this happy lemon location made their drinks. I've been to other locations but for some reason their mango matcha smoothie tasted better.

    I was in the area to golf and I heard about Happy Lemon opening up for bogo weekend. There wasn't a line when I got there and the workers made my drinks super quick.

    Oreo cream puff, matcha mango smoothie

    The puff waffles are so good! You have to get the cream dipping sauce the slight saltiness evens out the sweetness. Amazing!

    Jasmine green tea with cheese foam! Forgot to take a pic of my second drink LOL.

We were seated outdoors - the place closes at 1:30 and we got there around 12:50 - indoor tables full. The patio is shaded and comfortable. Service was prompt and courteous. The food arrived quickly. I had Joe's Special - a more unique scramble of eggs, ground beef, spinach and mushrooms with Asiago cheese and hash browns. The flavors were very well combined and everything tasted good. My son had the French Toast which came with 2 eggs and sausage as well: that's good was very good, but I continue to be disappointed in brunch spots that do not serve pure maple syrup - instead using your usual knock off breakfast syrup. It is a game changer for me and the food as a result suffers. No bubbles here with your breakfast, to be noted, if you like that with your brunch... but that is ok. All in all, good food, quick service, usual pricing (we paid $40 or so for our meals).

My boyfriend and I ordered wine, the artichoke dip, mussels, tagliatelle, 1/2 chicken, and bread pudding. There was a good variety of wine to choose from and the waitress was nice enough to give me a couple samples before ordering a full glass. We were surprised by the lemon / tangy flavor in the artichoke dip but really enjoyed it! We LOVED the mussels--this was a generous serving, and this was a great combination with the broth and sausage. The tagliatelle was clearly homemade and fresh, and the sauce was flavorful but light; the only thing I would change is the amount of peas / pea flavor. The chicken skin was perfectly crispy! Lastly, the bread pudding was literally baked fresh to the point where we almost couldn't order it. The staff told us it would be a bit of a wait, but when it took a little longer than expected, they continued to check in on us and whether we still wanted to wait. It was definitely worth it! It wasn't as sweet / cinnamon-y as other bread puddings that I've had, but was moist without being soggy and felt like a true homemade recipe. The ambiance was casual yet intimate, and despite being busy, didn't feel crowded or loud. We also appreciated that the wait staff didn't rush us out!

It has a kind of odd location in a warehouse building north of Railroad Square. I actually miss their old location near Julliard Park, but this location probably works better for their business. One of the main reasons I come here is their abundance of gluten free pastries. I try to avoid eating a lot of gluten as I don't feel great after eating it. They even make a few vegan gluten free options if you can't have dairy as well. They also have great savory bowls and breakfast burritos. On my most recent visit we ordered a breakfast veggie burrito and it was delicious! Lots of fresh cooked veggies! I recommend grabbing a packet of cholula hot sauce and putting it on the burrito! I also want to add a shout out to the Warrior Bowl! Delicious and healthy, although I don't get it at this last visit. I typically grab a gluten free muffin or scone. It's really hard to fine good gluten free pastries, but these are really good. On my last visit, I got a non-gluten free pastry and tried their cinnamon roll and an Ube Kite, which was a limited time special. The cinnamon roll was a bit dry, but these Ube kite was very good! Another thing I really like to get at Criminal is their pie. You can order whole ones or just get slices. They are excellent! The service is typically really great here! The only thing I don't love is the indoor dining area, which just feels a bit weird. Get a table outside or walk to a bench in the nearby park.
