    Bright colorful decor, extremely inviting. The menu has a variety of boba drinks & teas to satisfy even a picky individual Delicious bubble waffles available in different flavors made fresh to order . Centrally located off of Broadway & Swan with plenty of parking. Prices are average for a specialty drink.

    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.

    All the things to make you happy

    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!

They never looked at me all because in my opinion, I was wearing my gay pride shirt cause I just came back from the gay Pride swimming pool party at Tuxon. I walked inside the restaurant, grab my seat and started looking at the menu and the waiter just kept walking by never asked me anything. Next thing you know I know another person walks in that person sits down the waiter gives them their silverware ask what they wanna order. Ask what they want to drink and he gets his food and I still haven't mince asked what I wanted to eat. At this point the cook who is not his job to wait on people said hey are you gonna wait on this guy? He's been here way before this guy they still didn't do anything so the cook out of the generosity of his heart asked me what I wanted to eat what I wanted to drink. He's the one that took my order. He's the one that got my drink, cooked my food and served me. Again, I have never felt so discriminated against embarrassed like people were looking at me so I just got my food. Ate it and paid my bill and left. I don't know about you guys, but this is my first time being discriminated against and it didn't feel very good so be careful when you go to that to that waffle house if you ever go if you're in a discriminate if you're in a class that you can be discriminated against. I did file a complaint with Waffle House on their corporate website and they forwarded my information onto the on-site owner of the business and I have yet hurt anything cause I just sent it as of yesterday. I think as a gay community that I live in we have a very strong gay community community in Gen. I think we should boycott that place and pretty much show them that they can't be discriminated against. That's all I really have to say I just wanted to get it out there and let them know that I was discriminated against and I'm not gonna tolerate it not in this day and age. Brian Craig Benenhaley

    Teaspoon is one of the best overall restaurants in Tucson…read more I've been here a few times over the last year or so. It has never disappointed in service, quality or taste. (well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, friendly service and overall character of the place.

    These Pastries Should Probably Be Illegal…read more Prep & Pastry has been serving Tucson since 2014, and after eating here, I completely understand why they've built such a loyal following. This review is only about the pastries because the rest of their menu deserves an entirely separate review. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly light and airy everything was. Every bite felt fresh, fluffy, and perfectly balanced. The frosting wasn't overly sweet, and nothing tasted heavy or overwhelming. As I've gotten older, I've become much more conscious about what I eat. Surprisingly, these pastries never leave me with that "I shouldn't have done that" feeling. They're indulgent without being excessive. Now let's address the real issue... I always buy two. Not because I'm planning ahead. Because I know exactly what's going to happen if I don't. I'll eat one in the parking lot, sit there for a minute pretending I'm satisfied, then make what is almost certainly an illegal U-turn and head back inside for another. At this point, I believe the owners should stand trial in a savory Food Court of Law. Dun... Dun... "In the Criminal Food Justice System, pastry-based crimes are considered especially delicious. In Tucson, the dedicated foodies who investigate these sugary felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Pastry Unit. These are their stories." Prep & Pastry is guilty of making "I'll just have one" the biggest lie you'll tell yourself all week. Whether you're stopping by for breakfast, brunch, or simply because life is better with a great pastry, this place delivers. WIT Inspection Score: -- Truly Among the Best.
