    Checked Happy Lemon out with a friend while looking for cool cafe spots in the area. They have an array of boba drinks and milk teas and a few bubble waffle options. It's so bright and cheery in there, you can't help but go in with a smile! I love the yellow accent color. They have family friendly activities on each table like connect 4 and Jenga and their drinks are a good size. I didn't get a pic of ours and I don't remember the name of it unfortunately, but it was cool to try and I definitely want to go back for the strawberry shortcake drink! They seemed to have an influx of customers about 3:30pm so it seems like a popular spot!This is my first time learning about them, but they're definitely on my list of good drink spots in Tucson !

    Happy Lemon on Broadway and Swan is a bright and inviting boba spot, with colorful décor and big, appealing images that immediately catch your eye when you walk in. The menu offers a nice variety, and I tried the Okinawa Roasted Milk Tea, which had a deep, smoky tea flavor that I really enjoyed. The boba itself wasn't my favorite--the texture seemed a bit off, like it may have been sitting too long--but overall the drink was still good. What stood out most on this visit were the bubble waffles, which smelled amazing as soon as I walked in. They even offer a matcha flavor, which I'll definitely try next time. The shop is very clean and has a cheerful vibe. Service was friendly, though a little slow--we ordered through DoorDash, but the drink didn't seem to be started until after we arrived. Still, the atmosphere and variety make it a place I'd come back to.

    Everything is super yummy! Def recommend the bubble waffle and personally love the taro cream-type dip for it. All the drinks can be quite sweet but can always decide how sweet you'd like the drinks. I really like this Eastside location cause of the games on the tables, nice place to hang out with a group. The service is great that both bubble waffles and drinks get made pretty quick.

    This family-owned and operated business is such a gem. The interior is bright, clean, and incredibly welcoming the moment you walk in. Their matcha smoothies are flavorful and absolutely delicious! The bubble waffles are fantastic as well--my favorite is the Oreo cookie with the cream cheese frosting. It was a real pleasure supporting this wonderful local business.

    This is my favorite Boba tea shop in Tucson! I first discovered it while driving on Broadway--I saw the sign and decided to check it out since my hotel was just down the street. I've always loved Happy Lemon in LA, and even though Tucson has plenty of Ding Tea locations, I still prefer making the 20-minute drive here. Their tea is simply better, and their boba is always perfect. I also love their bubble waffle--it's the perfect snack, always fresh and delicious because they make it in-house. The service is great too; they even bring out the tea while I wait. The plaza can get busy, and parking fills up during peak hours, but I've never had trouble finding a spot.

    I love the fact that the lemon slush is here have actual lemon pieces in it. The fruit is so yummy in the drinks and they have so many options for tea when you get your bubble waffle you might think that the salted cheese for it might seem like an odd choice, but it is delicious and the perfect balance for the bubble waffle

    Super cute and vibrant space. Fun table games at each table. Friendly service and quick. Delicious bubble waffle and large selection of drinks.

    After seeing happy lemon in passing so many times, I'm glad I finally got the chance to stop in! It's a great tea shop/cafe with a good variety of drinks, yummy bubble waffles, and a fun space. Staff were friendly and service was quick. I liked the decor and looooved the mascot! Each table had board games, which I think is a nice touch and makes it a good hang out spot. There was a good variety of drinks; I didn't try a salted cheese drink this time around but I am super curious about them. The mango lemon slushy was delicious and the bubble waffle was good! I loved the taro puff cream dipping sauce for the waffle, I could probably eat it as it by the spoonful. Overall a great experience, and I'm def going to have to come back to try more of their menu!

    These are the best lemonades in town. I love the honey lemon green tea! It's like an agua Fresca with the full lemon blended into the drink and strained. It is so tangy and flavorful!!! The space is bright and clean, and service is great, too! A great spot to meet friends or get some computer work done.

    Strawberry shortcake fruit smoothie so yummy. And the Oreo bubble waffle with salted cheese so yummy.

    Love coming here for bubble waffles and tasty drinks! Usually get the original or Oreo waffle and add puff cream. They make the waffles fresh. I mix it up with drinks - milk teas, yakults and lemon slushes. Also, highly recommend using the app for rewards. The space is very clean. They have games, too. Owner is very friendly. Decent parking and handicap accessible.

They don't have spoons, but I made it work with my straw. The no ice option does cost extra, but it's worth it. Same goes for the toppings, which is pretty standard. I'm also glad we went with less sweetness. It was just right. A lot of places use powdered taro, but I'm so happy we found a spot that serves fresh taro paste. I love the consistency and flavor. It's something you just don't get with powders. It tasted amazing. The games, tables, and overall vibe were great. It was the perfect little treat for us.

Maybe it's part of the construction you unavoidably have to navigate or the general shopping center, something that will be unable to be determined until I visit the other location. This visit, I ordered the Thai tea and found it to be quite good. I didn't get the sense the tea was powdered or otherwise pre-packaged. The tapioca boba was fresh and obviously made recently when I went. Unfortunately, I can't get over the experience part of my patronage.

The door was already open, and we watched another gentleman walk in and order four drinks, so naturally we assumed they were serving customers. However, when we entered, an employee told us to go back outside and wait until they officially opened. No problem. We waited and came back in at 12:02 PM. Once we were ready to order, we asked for a drink with regular tapioca boba. The employee told us it wasn't ready yet and suggested crystal boba instead. We explained that we were willing to wait for the regular tapioca, but we kept getting the impression they really didn't want us to order it because they repeatedly emphasized that it would take a while. Crystal boba is not the same thing as traditional tapioca boba. At that point, the employee was also having issues with the POS system and seemed very stressed trying to make the previous customer's drinks while simultaneously texting their manager for help. We were asked to wait off to the side. About 10 minutes later, who I assume was the manager arrived and helped get everything sorted out. After asking about the available toppings and trying samples of the crystal boba, we finally placed our order. Unfortunately, two of our three drinks came out wrong. One drink was supposed to be a plain Jasmine Floral Milk Tea with lychee jelly and light ice. Instead, it came with no jelly at all and regular ice. Another drink was supposed to be a Strawberry Jelly Watermelon Slush with crystal boba, but it arrived with lychee jelly instead. By that point, after waiting through the opening confusion, POS issues, topping availability issues, and ordering delays, we honestly didn't feel like spending even more time having drinks remade. For nearly $25 for three drinks, I expected a much smoother experience. I understand that opening can be hectic, but it felt like the shop wasn't fully prepared to serve customers when the doors opened. The drinks themselves were fine, but getting two out of three orders wrong after such a long wait was disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, but based on our visit, the experience didn't live up to the reputation and positive reviews we saw beforehand.

It's located between Petco and Ace Hardware, and there is plenty of parking.

I ordered the Jasmine milk tea with panacotta and boba, and we shared a mango tiramisu. We were both happy with our drinks. The panacotta is a great topping and the boba was fresh, even later in the evening. The mango tiramisu was a perfect treat. It had a jello‑like topping with fresh mango pieces, and the creamy moist bites were delicious. I really enjoyed the consistency and flavor. We played checkers while we hung out. I would love to come back to try more teas and desserts. I definitely want to try the waffle because it smelled amazing. There are plenty of places to sit and everything was very clean.
