    I am sorry to say I am not impressed with the Boba drinks here. The staff were really sweet. I got the Vietnamese coffee with Boba and it was so sickeningly sweet. I could only drink a little bit of it before tossing out My stomach was upset for the rest of the day. I never go into the mall, but I was looking for some Boba -there was another place across the way from them and they told me that place didn't really have Boba (?)

    This place is so good! My go to is a Thai iced tea with 50% sweetness and extra egg pudding! The egg puffs and the cream is amazing! Need to go back and try other flavors. The staff is always nice and helpful.

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

    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 can see why Jeffrey's is considered one of the best breakfast in Santa Rosa, and has been for…read moreyears. With all of the options around it is sometimes hard to pick a place to go on a Saturday morning. Jeffrey's is a charming, family friendly establishment that is attached to a small inn off Highway 12. Other inside is pretty small, but they do have some outdoor tables. The interior has some lovely art on the walls as well as positive phrases making you feel like you're home. The service is also great here, and I feel like I've seen the same folks working here for many years. My wife and I ordered two different Hashes to share. The Brussel Sprouts and Bacon Hash is fantastic, which has this blue cheese aioli that gives the dish so much flavor. The Brussel sprouts seem like they're steamed and then tossed in the hash with sautéed diced onions, bell peppers and bacon. The aioli is on the side, but just adding a little bit to each bite gives it so much extra. We also ordered the special of the day which was a Smoked Chicken and Butternut Squash Hash. It has some of the same elements of sautéed onions and bell peppers, but this was served with a cilantro aioli. This dish, while not as amazing at the other Hash, was still really good. My daughter ordered the Buttermilk pancakes (added blueberries to them) with sausage and eggs. She certainly enjoyed them!

Food: Needs work. Ordered the Eggs Benedict. The poached eggs were on point. Absolutely perfect. The champagne hollandaise was a fun twist but couldn't save the meal. The English muffin might have been hard track. It was paper thin and I had to saw through it. Ham had no flavor at all. I don't think it was ham. Maybe thin sliced and unseasoned pork but not ham. Worst part was the county potatoes. They came out slightly above room temperature and hard. They're parboiled then flash fried. Not a bad way to get crisp but I can only assume they do this ahead of the rush and then they sit in a container to be served. My wife ordered her's extra crispy and they come out much better. Coffee smelled and tasted like an ashtray. Overall, I wanted to like this place and the service itself is amazing, but the back of the house needs some work.

Every employee we interacted with was genuinely friendly and welcoming, and the prices were very fair for the quality of the food and overall experience. We enjoyed breakfast so much that we came back the very same evening for dinner and the mariachi performance. The dinner menu is different from the breakfast menu, and once again, everything we ordered was outstanding. The food was delicious, the cocktails were fantastic, and even dessert was exceptional. I'm so glad we discovered this hidden gem. It's rare to find a restaurant that delivers such an amazing experience from start to finish, twice in the same day! This has definitely become one of our favorite restaurants, and I'll be a lifelong customer.

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!
