Great bubble tea spot with strict COVID protocols. 7 customer max inside at a time that is enforced. After ordering they ask customers to wait outside til the order number is called. A lot of tea options with rock salt crema as a topping. If your in the mood for Hong Kong style bubble waffles, they make a great snack! read more

* Got their mango Matcha once, no sugar, and it's super sweet due to the mango syrup. * Tried just getting Matcha slush (mango Matcha without the mango), no sugar, and it's perfect. Not too sweet. * Nothing to complain really. Though I remember a long time ago in the Bay area, Happy Lemon has Matcha banana. This location and the other location at a mall (forgot the name) do not seem to have it. read more

I highly recommend the original milk tea with boba and the waffle with original cream. I haven't found a better waffle place in Washington state read more

Happy lemon is one of my favorite boba chains. I've been to the Bellevue location many times and was so happy to see they opened a new location in Tukwila! This is located across the street from the Nordstrom Rack/Kohl's plaza. There is a huge parking lot so parking is not an issue. The interior is very clean and bright. There are lots of seats available so this is a great place to hang out with friends. My favorite drinks at happy lemon are the milk tea and freshly squeezed lemon green tea. I love the bubble waffles here. I get one almost every time I stop by to get a drink. It tastes even better when you dip it in their puff cream dip! read more

Obsessed with Happy Lemon! My favorite is the jasmine lemon honey iced tea. The staff is very friendly and the service is pretty quick.

My wife and I love this place! This is our go-to for boba in the area. The customer service is great and every drink we have had is delicious! We live in Covington but don't mind making the commute as it is always worth it :) read more

Like coming here every chance I get. Love the Original Bubble Waffle. The Milk Tea s and there wonderful services. read more

I would give this place a one star if it wasn't for the ONE girl that does know how to make it right. She was the one that brought out ice today. Let me explain briefly that this is not the first time I've had my av o ca do mAtChA this powdery or third.. probably my sixth time... But when it's made right it's so gooddddd. But I think six time too many tho so I will only buy from Bellevue. If I ever go cos that's too deep man. But they have everything right. But I could be wrong take a look at the pic you judge! read more

TERRIBLE service they don't answer they're phone I got an order on door dash and 2 items were missing!! Not ok I will never go here again TUKWILA location! read more

I still love coming here when i can. the lady who was taking my order was extremely helpful. i think her name was Kim (she had some blonde streaks in her hair). she was so nice and patient as i wanted to try something new but didn't know what to get. she gave me what she usually gets, which was a half and half waffle (half original and half chocolate) along with the puff & oreo dip and a strawberry green tea with lychee jelly. i would highly recommend this order and will continue to get it. the bubble waffles are some of the best ones you can get here and the drinks are so refreshing and sweet (but not to sweet that it makes your teeth hurt). read more

Happy Lemon - H1. Original Bubble Waffle and A4. Milk Tea with Oreo Cookies and Puff Cream (l) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Came here with my cousin and she treated me to their mango matcha drink! It was delicious!!!! We didn't have any problems with waiting since it was pretty empty when we first got there and it was during the week. I like how they have size choices so you don't have to get one size. Once we were finishing up our drinks, the crowd started to pick up. Pros: * Menu is so cute! * Two sizes * Variety of waffle flavors * I love their mango matcha drink! I'll have to come back to try their honey milk tea and hot boba (if they offer it!) read more

So good!!! I had a milk tea with boba- delicious and hubby got an avocado smoothie- he likes it a little sweeter but I liked the sweetness level. And the fresh waffles!!!! So good, especially if you eat right after you get it fresh!!! Will try other drinks... maybe but once I find what I like I pretty much stick with it. read more

Great place overall, clean, great environment, kid greatly and well organized 10/10 would recommend and next time I'm in the area I'm coming back. read more

Thank you for considering my review. I've been back a couple times recently and the service/speed has gotten better. Keep up the great work and May your staff be safe and healthy! read more

I love happy lemon and have been to all of the different locations around town but I question the cleanliness of this store. I got a bubble waffle and watched the employee use the same pair of gloves to open the refrigerator door, take things in and out of it, take a rag and scrub the tables wash the rag and wring it out, grab a drink form the fridge for a customer, then touch my bubble waffle with the same glove and place in the the bag to hand to me. The point of wearing gloves is not to protect your hands from getting dirty, it's to keep food clean. A new glove should be used every time you handle food after to touch other surfaces especially if you clean other surfaces. Although It bothered me, I brushed it off since I realize a lot of places do this and I feel like it's a battle I'll never win. What triggered me to write a review is when I got home and started to drink my drink. I always get the milk tea with puff cream but this time I got the milk tea with rock salt cream. It tasted great as expected but I kept getting bits of something hard and flaky. Turns out it's bits of plastic! I did not get a plastic sealed lid so it cannot be from that. They need to check their ingredients and not serve people drinks with bits of plastic in it! I'm very disappointed as I love Happy lemon and this is one of the closer ones to me. read more

The best Happy Lemon I've ever been too!! It beats the ones down in the Bay Area! The strawberry green tea with lychee and cheese foam is my absolute favorite! read more

Mediocre drinks. And the waffle had a little bit of a after smell / taste to it like it was in the fridge without any coverings. I ordered the regular sugar/reg ice taro bubble tea with tapioca- 3/5 Boyfriend got the Oreo cookie drink - 4/5 he really liked it read more

It was a little busy when we went but why wouldn't it be! The drink I ordered was delicious!! I liked that the cashier offered her recommendations when I couldn't decide which helped. All the staffs were very nice and positive with smiles! Price was decent of course. The bubble waffle was a bit more chewy today on the inside today which was perfection!! I would define my come back to this location. They also have the new matcha bean bubble waffle but to be honest it did not look appealing . read more

Happy Lemon - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

My favorite boba place! I love all their drinks but I especially love their cheese foam and bubble waffles. They always have new items to try every time I come in. Service is always friendly and quick. Thank you Happy Lemon! read more

Very good bubble tea - I love the option to lighten the sugar in the drink. I highly recommend them!

Drinks and waffles always come out yummy! Just expect to wait longer during the evenings, especially if you order a waffle. There's only 3 waffle stations and the waffles take a few minutes to cook. Staff are always friendly! read more

Hello I'm a regular at Happy Lemon that comes in all the time right before Sunday night football begins. In regards to the Karen comment from Maddie G., I was the customer in front of you. Before lashing out and coming after these wonderful fun to talk to employees and being so quick to assume things you don't know. 1. They had grub hub deliveries that will come in regularly regardless if there is 7 people max & it just so happened for that to be the case when I opened the door for them because they had full hands. 2. Secondly, flashed the employee? I was discussing on what belt to buy with the cashier last week during their slow days and was showing off the choice I made through the window. DONT be quick to assume next time. 3. Lastly, it did NOT take you 20 minutes to get in I was literally watching the Chiefs and Raiders game after ordering our drinks. Then I watched you came in, ask a question to the cashier, then stormed back out when he asked you if you could repeat what you said. The raiders went 4 & out on their drive and after they punted I heard you make a scene and storm out, so I know it didn't take them 20 mins. And my girl watched the girl in the Jean jacket and dyed hair make my dragon fruit tea in a matter of minutes because we were interested in how it was made. 4. Also a normal reg paying customer I expect you to know they're also busy during Sunday nights and would be more understanding. I'd let my girlfriend lash out on your other customer on her Yelp elite account but I wanted to add a little flare to my own review. Thank you happy thanks giving! I got you Happy Lemon Tuk thank you for reaching out :^) Wintermelon w fresh milk: 10/10 always the go to when I pick it up, boba was nice and fresh texture wise. Everytime I grab happy lemon their boba knocks Shareteas boba out of the park. So I take the time to go the extra mile through tukwila to get happy lemon when share tea is right there. Dragonfruit w crema on top: 10/10 should get, it brought nostalgia to my childhood taste buds! read more

Happy Lemon is my favorite boba place in Tukwila hands down! They serve quality drinks, consistent most of the time, have friendly customer service, and reasonable wait times when waiting for your boba. I have a couple go to drinks that I like to get here: Matcha latte w/ rock salt crema: 5/5. I love the quality of matcha here and it's a super solid drink with the rock salt crema on top. However, the last time I went here, they made my drink in shaker that was not rinsed out thoroughly. My matcha latte didn't even taste like matcha--it tasted like mangoes because they made a mango jasmine green tea in that same shaker before my drink. So that was a bit disappointing. Milk tea w/ oreo and puff cream: 5/5. Super balanced milk to tea ratio but I wish the oreo flavor was more prominent. I always have to order extra oreo to really push that flavor, and I get no sugar or 30% sugar since this is a pretty sweet drink. Mango jasmine green tea and strawberry green tea w/ rock salt crema: 5/5. Okay so you can clearly see I love rock salt crema, but it's just so good with any of their drinks! Both of these teas are super fruity and refreshing. It's the perfect summer staple when I want something light and fresh but still a little bit of creaminess. Bubble waffle: 4.5/5. Canada was like my second home during my childhood and they make the BEST bubble waffles there. Happy Lemon comes close, but the exterior is a bit too hard, compared to a regular Taiwanese waffle. It's still super good though! Overall, I really enjoy Happy Lemon and it's the best boba in Tukwila. Give it a try! read more

I have to honestly say this location was much better than others I've visited. I placed a pick up order with ease, my order was ready on time and this was a very pleasant experience. On this day I ordered quite a few things but my fave was the Ube Black Tea with taro and half and half bubble waffle. I would definitely recommend those you won't regret it! read more

The best boba in Southcenter in my opinion. Made with fresh tea and fruit. Also found the ube balls an interesting alternative to the usual boba. Plus the smell of bubble waffles makes it nearly impossible to say no to. read more

Yummy yummy! i usually don't try different smoothies out of my comfort zone. But i tried the strawberry short cake smoothie and it was delicious!!!! Makes me want to try more things read more

Even though there was a little bit of wait during the weekend, it's definitely worth it! Avocado matcha + taro ball is just awwwwesome. Plus a half and half bubble egg waffle and Oreo puff cream as dipping sauce I'm in heaven. read more

The bubble waffle was delicious!! Crispy with chewy inside. They also gave dipping sauce you can buy for extra $. Recommend sea salt and Oreo dips. Only "negative" thing is that you have to order through grub hub, which added extra charges to the price. read more

I would give 4 stars for the drink and 0 star for customer service here. I have tried all Happy Lemon stores in WA. This location has the worst service. They made my drink wrong 3/5 times. Having ice, while I ordered none, is acceptable. But I continuously forgot adding creama to my drink. When I asked them to fix it, sometimes they treat me like it's my fault, not their. And today, my drink looked horrible after fixing. This was unacceptable. read more

I'm so happy that there's a Happy Lemon nearby my house. It's my favorite shop to get bubble tea and there's no other place that compares in my opinion. My favorite drink right now is milk tea with Oreo and I like adding boba and egg pudding. Everyone is m so nice who works there. Most of the time I get assisted by either Chelly or Charlize and they are always so knowledgeable about the product they sell. I would recommend this place to all my family and friends. read more

This place is so addicting I was going on my third day in a row to get me a smoothie and a bubble waffle. I even had my coworker order something too to feel less bad about going another day in a row haha, wait time can be a little long, so I definitely recommend ordering ahead ! read more

Good service and nice people:) I also like the possibility of lowering the amount of sweet in my drinks.

It was my second time there and still not impressed. Their tea needs work. The flavors are inconsistent. This time my drink was okay but my cup wasn't even sealed correctly. The place wasn't even busy at the time so I didn't understand why they didn't take the time to redo. read more

Happy Lemon - Not all the way sealed - Bubble Tea Near Me - Tukwila, Washington

Not really thrilled about their boba drinks but the bubble waffle is legit. Perfectly crispy on the outside and nice and soft inside. It's a little bit of a wait but you will receive a perfect shaped lemon waffle. Line was so long when they first opened. Not so bad now. read more

I live really far down south so when I heard there was a Happy Lemon opening in Tukwila, I got extremely hyped! Upon first entry, the store has a really clean and cute aesthetic to it. I had a hard time picking what drink I wanted try from their menu because they have such a huge selection. The cashier at the time, Katrina, was super patient with me and walked me through all of her favorite drinks and why. She even introduced me to Taro balls, which I had never tried before, and was surprised when I found that I actually liked it. Katrina was able to then walk me through which drinks went well with taro balls before I finally made a selection. I probably only waited about 3-4 minutes for my drink when it was kind of slow at the time. I got the Milk Tea with Taro ball and Puff cream: (4.5/5) Flavor was overall amazing without being too heavy. The taro ball accented the milk tea really well, so thank you Katrina for suggesting it to me! 5 star review because the employees here are all so nice and accommodating. Plus the drinks and the bubble waffles are pretty damn good! If you're in the Tukwila area, you should really give this place a try. read more

Update: I came back Friday evening and the milk tea with oreo was really watered down and was tasteless, even with 100% sugar. The waffle I got was undercooked and I never got my dipping sauce. When I asked for it, the really skinny girl with light apron kind of sounded like she was annoyed, but gave it to me anyway and saying that next time I had to order it even though it was in my receipt. I would suggest Happy Lemon to try it if you haven't, but I think for the wait times and taste, I would stick with Share Tea. read more

i absolutely love the strawberry shortcake smoothie here with boba, the cream is so good i love it! the place is well kept and the customer service fine. However they are always out of peppermint for the mojitos here! Sometimes they have it sometimes they don't so hit or miss! read more

I usually go to this boba shop on the regular because they are on top of everything most of the time. I suppose the only problem I have here is the boba texture. It ranges on different days and hours because of the batches they make. I got A10 (i've milk tea w/taro balls) and N5 (strawberry shortcake smoothie w/boba as an extra topping). I didn't really expect the smoothie to look like their photo because some drinks they have do not look the same as what is advertise. Once I had gotten home after a couple of hours, I realized that they had forgotten my boba! I thought it was on the inside because they had cream on the side of the cup, but that was not the case. The staff are good at handling customers, but they get rushed so just make sure your drink is correct before you leave! read more
