    Came there is morning. Was greeted right away. They do offer almond milk as a replacement. They offer great options of drinks. Also got bubble waffle. All of the drinks were amazing, full of flavor and just right on sweetness. Service was quick as well. Inside of the restaurant is very clean and neat. I stepped out to the restroom to wash my hands and this is when I saw the horror. Please please please clean the restroom. It should not look like that at any point of time but especially in the morning. Hence minus one star.

    This is definitely very much an ok bubble tea place. The service is very quick and heads down and I would say little ownership for the workers here. I would say this shop definitely has the sweetest smelling aroma. Sometimes its ok with the egg waffles sometimes it's cloyingly sweet. The drinks themselves are ok. I would say there is a lot of artificial tastes and additives. Overall an ok place to stop in for a drink but definitely get like 50% sugar.

    My Daughter and I stopped by here on 10/23/21. We were thrilled there was a new location opened in Tukwila. The interior is nice, modern and comfortable. It can get busy. We got a plane bubble waffle. B2. Black Tea with Rock Salt Crema and A9. Winter Melon Milk Tea (l). Altogether they were all Yummylicious!! We'd return again.

    Bubble waffle half & half Matcha & Chocolate. Boba Brown Sugar Milk tea with No ice & Tapioca & also Salted Cheese on top! Delicious!

    Great Boba & Bubble Waffle! Open brown sugar tea with tapioca and salt.Ed cheese on top and a 1/2 and half bubble waffle. 1/2 & 1/2. calchocolate & half matcha

    Classic boba milk tea with cookies and cream puff w crystal jelly is my fav drink there. My friend got the mango sago drink w no grapefruit and that was good too!

    I'm a lover of happy lemon. I've tried multiple fruit teas + lemonade drinks and they are so refreshing. The milk teas I've tried are SWEET but that's how I like it. Service here is pretty fast but I know this location can get quite busy at times. Always wishing happy lemon locations had more seating but overall cute place. Def want to try more and will always go back.

    H1. Original Bubble Waffle and A10. Ube Black Tea with Taro Ball (L)

    Really good boba. Everything tasted amazing and full of flavor. Sometimes the actual boba can taste bland, but this place was really good. Planning on coming back to try more of the menu.

    I always order the milk tea with sea salt foam and it tasted great. The strawberry shortcake smoothie was kinda disappointing. It was very watered down and didn't have a lot of strawberry flavor, kind of like there was barely any strawberries. I did like the puff cream in the smoothie though. Mango smoothie was alright. Each drink was almost $8 which is a lot for the quality imo. I ordered 4 drinks so it was about $32 :/

    Happy Lemon was great. I really enjoy it there. They have excellent customer service, and great modern coffee shop vibe. As far as seating goes, it is kind of small, and there is not a lot of seating. I had the oreo cream milk tea and the oreo waffle with oreo cream puff sauce to dip it in. My wife had the matcha waffle and the ube smoothie. Everything was really fresh, delicious, and tasty. So good! I highly recommend Happy Lemon!

    Found a bug inside my cup less than 10 minutes after leaving Happy Lemon. The staff here at Tukwila are usually friendly, though.

    My go to is always Happy Lemon. Their fresh milk ube with taro balls is my all time favorite. The service is always quick and they're very accommodating to your wants so don't be afraid to ask questions. Located in a strip mall, there's plenty of parking and opportunity to eat some food and have happy lemon for dessert

    + Yummy drinks + Easy parking + May have long lines but you can order online for pickup

    Nothing special.... just another Happy Lemon location. Personally I thought the milk tea was good but the boba was overcooked. Given that there are so many other boba options around the area, I probably will not be coming back.

    I was super excited when I saw Puft Bubble Waffles outside of the brewery we were at because the…read moremenu had ube waffles, lumpia and other Filipino-inspired items. Gotta get my ube on whenever I see it, so made a note to get this dish once we were done beer tasting. Sadly, by the time I ordered, the ube waffles were sold out, including the ube ice cream they served it with. I ended up ordering one of the last remaining items on the menu, the monte cristo bubble waffle. It took FOREVER to get my food. After drinking all day I was hunggggrrryyy, so thought the alcohol was just getting to the best of me and making me impatient. But after 30 minutes I decided to check in and inquire about my order. Straight up - they forgot my order. Uggghhhh. With that said, they gave me free curly fries on the side. Fine. Was it worth the wait? No. It wasn't a bad monte cristo sandwich, and do like that they used their bubble waffles as the bread. But more than anything I was just hungry and needed dinner. If you generally like monte cristo sandwiches, I could see why this may be a good item for you. But personally, it was too sweet to my liking. They gave me a side of syrup to go with, and I didn't use it since I thought the jam in the sandwich and powdered sugar on top made the sandwich too sweet. I think if they had used less jam and more of the ham and cheese, it would've been better, for the jam would've just complemented it. Curly fries were solid. I would like to try Puft again for the ube waffles, which seems to be their shining star here. But the monte cristo was just A-OK for me and certainly not worth waiting a total of 40 minutes for.

    I was surprised that no one has reviewed Puft Bubble Waffles yet…read more Found them located in Central District, hanging around Chuck's Hop Shop, decided to take a look at the menu. If you don't know what a Bubble Waffle is known as an egg waffle that is being severed all around Asia and is lighter then typical western style waffles. They look very similar to large bubble wrap (the popping kind). The owner(s) of the Puft has put their own personal touches to the menu. Mixing East and West flavours. There were such a variety that I wanted to try them all, but had to settle with the Deluxe Ube Bubble Waffle. Ube is a purple yam that is indigenous to the Philippines and is trending hard here in North America. With friendly service and conversations with the staff, we received our bubble waffle covered in whip cream, two large scoops of ube ice cream and a beautiful dusting of ube powder. Did I mention that the waffle also contained ube? It was a purple plethora of ube goodness. Check out the menu on their website. It doesn't seem like they update it often but you should check out the facebook page for locations. https://www.puftwaffles.com/menu/ If I find you again Puft, I'm going to try your savory options! Keep up the good work and kudos to your staff!

Since it was our first time there, we weren't familiar with the ordering process or menu. I didn't want to hold up the line trying to decide what to order, so I asked if we could sit down first and look over the menu. She cleaned off a table for us, but then told me I needed to hurry up and order because she didn't want other people getting upset about how long it would take me to decide. I didn't respond and simply waited until we were ready to order, which only took about four minutes. What confused and upset me was that shortly after, a white man came in and she told him he could sit down, take his time, and order whenever he was ready because "it's not busy." The difference in treatment was very noticeable and honestly made me uncomfortable as an African-American woman. Maybe this was a misunderstanding, but the interaction did not sit right with me. I believe every customer should be treated with the same patience and respect, especially first-time customers who are simply trying to understand how the restaurant works. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and does better moving forward.

We were planning to come to Gig Harbor again very soon anyway and planned to come back here and eat. We were under the impression here that the restaurant served sandwiches but that is not correct. It is a waffle place in which you can get sweet and savory waffles. When I am at a waffle place and I have the choice of and I am hungry enough I will get a savory waffle and a sweet waffle. That was just such the case here and so sweet and savory waffles were ordered. I ordered the Blackout which was a sweet waffle with whipped cream cheese, jam and some powdered sugar. For the savory waffle I got the The Hilltop which was a chicken and waffle arrangement with breaded chicken, maple syrup drizzled on it and some powdered sugar. Both waffles were good! They are served kind of in a rolled up manner and not served flatly on plates so it makes them easy to become "to go" orders if that is your desire as well. But if you want to sit and relax the dining setting is nice and laid back.
