    Cool cup "filled" with confetti
    Jenny C.

    I in the Irvine Market area and stopped by Happy Lemon and it ended up being more than just a typical boba run. While it's an up-and-coming chain, there's several locations, this location really stands out for its personality and little details that made the boba shop a bit different! First off, the drinks are solid--fresh, fruity drink, and exactly what you'd hope for when you're craving something refreshing. They have some surprisingly cool merch that actually feels thoughtfully designed (not just your usual branded stuff you'd ignore). The highlight, though, is their "positivity message" concept. You can decorate your cup or even a notebook with uplifting notes, which adds a really personal and feel-good touch. It's such a simple idea, but it genuinely makes the visit more memorable and gives the place a welcoming, community vibe. I probably hung out a good 15 minutes looking for the perfect message!!! Hahaha There were ample tables outside to drink and people watch.

    F1. Mango Matcha Smoothie

    I love how there's a kiosk at this location so it's really quick and easy to order. There was no line so we got our drinks within a few minutes. I got the mango matcha smoothie which is very nostalgic for me since this was a drink that I would get all the time when I was in high school. They are pretty consistent with this drink here. There's no seating inside so this more of a grab and go spot.

    They have one of the best Hong Kong style egg waffles that I've had in So Cal - as far as I'm concerned, the best ones outside of Asia can only be found in Vancouver or Toronto - but in OC, these are as good as you can find. They have that distinct eggy taste and are not overly sweet. The shell is crispy and crunchy while the inside is airy and soft. To pair up your delicious bubble waffle with a drink, the classic milk teas are always good. Their freshly squeezed lemon ice tea is one of the best and has a rather intense lemony flavor. Another one of my favorites is passion fruit mango green iced tea which is both refreshing and tasty.

    I really wanted to try the egg waffle so we stopped by this Marketplace location. The egg waffle is freshly made and we knew it was authentic as they have a fan to cool it off. The store was also giving away free tumblers on the day we visited and we picked up two! Great customer service and experience. Please come and create your own adventure.

    After a less than desirable experience at Bengong Tea, I popped in right before closing and there was one person working. I said "Hello" and ordered the green tea with cheese foam ($6.50). I paid and he got straight to work on my order. I forgot to mention that I wanted less sugar and less ice but oh well. My husband asked for the code to the restroom and went to wash his hands. My order was ready straightaway and I made the mistake of shaking without checking that the lid had an open hole. Oops. I quickly wiped the counter and grabbed a straw to stir my drink. I took a sip and it was good albeit a little sweeter than I would have preferred. Thanks Happy Lemon for such great customer service unlike their competitor across the street.

    Stopped in because we were looking for another drink shop that once was located here and decided to give this place a try. Sadly my drink tasted like ice flavored watered down coffee. I was not impressed. The workers were a little impatient as we have never been here and weren't sure what to order. There are boba drinks, teas and coffees. Worth a try to check out . I was going to try their tarp tea but made the wrong choice. Will try back again when I am In the area. Stop in and check it out for yourself!

    Great stop! They were very patient with my many questions on their new coffee options. A great quick stop for this shopping center, especially with how good the drinks are, I already ate but I'm definitely picking up one of the waffles next time, they make the store smell delicious! Look at how beautiful my Americano looks

    Great boba and the waffle is so crispy and chewy sweet. The boba is sweet and chewy, what more can you ask for.

    Soo goood. I love their bubble waffles with seafood salt cream cheese. I always want to eat this.. because its so good when itd warm . I also always get the cheese foam salted cheese with green tea and mango topping. Recently I got the Hazelnut Ferrero rocher Frappe drinks and thry were good!!! They had gold sprinkles on top with a Ferrero Rocher Chocolate . Love happy lemon so muchhhh. The staff is always so friendly and the interior is so clean and fresh . Service is always wonderful as well..the environment is so modern and clean.

    i was really excited when i learned that there was a happy lemon in the tustin marketplace! i was unaware since it was hidden at the corner. my go to drink is always the mango matcha but i saw they had a special promotion for mango sago! ultimately, i decided to get that with 70% sweetness. sadly, the drink was wayyyy too sweet and makes me wonder if they adjusted the sweetness level at all :( i had to add extra ice and water when i got home. either than that, the cashiers are very friendly and the facility is very clean. overall, i would come back! i love their mango matcha.

    So good

I was excited to see the…read moreEver After menu items here since I frequently went to them, so was interested to see how this compares. I got the Black sesame chicken fried rice which tasted really good! It was on the oily side though because of the sesame oil so I'll probably try their other options next time. I also got the popcorn chicken rice which came with the braised pork sauce (which I got on the side). Flavor was great, chicken was nice and juicy with a thin layer of breading. Service was great too, we got served rather quickly and food came out promptly as well. Their drink selection is still the self serve, and you can still ask for sample cups to try. I believe they also brought some drinks from Ever After to here as I didn't see them before. I'm excited to come back again and try their other menu items. This place definitely got a much needed upgrade after the renovation!

    LMAO just look at the picture…read more.. needless to say this was not what I was expecting but gave it a 4 star just for the memories when I was a kid okay gaddam the rating might have to go down because I'm still digging into the ice block after a solid two minutes my rating fell again because the amount of toppings they gave was atrociously little compared to the BLOCK of ice

When it came to my order, no one mentioned that I could modify it so it was full sweet..too sweet. The drinks come with freeze dried fruit on top which brings some texture but the matcha does not taste ceremonial and slightly bitter. The ambiance is swanky and a spot for people to be on their laptops to do homework or work. They offer pastries and free wifi. I would recommend sticking to the coffee and will try again next time in the area.

Modern and Cute interior with neutral tones. Bright room with a few seats inside but lots of nice outdoor places to sit right next to the store. The wait was a bit long - definitely longer than the wait time in most major coffee chains ; maybe it's due to their process? I saw a good number of staff working and they all seemed busy so not sure why. But the nice coffee was worth the wait; however, you might need to take that into consideration if you are in a rush.

I wanted to try Mint Chocolate VTM but it was not as great. I suggest sticking to original VTM coffee. Mint Chocolate was smooth tasting but has too many flavors. I'm glad to see their condense milk does not contain seed oil. I'm impressed with their clean restroom and store was organized. Staff was happily chit chatting among each other on an early Sunday morning but no greetings whatsoever to customer walking in or picking up orders. There are seatings outside but this place gets packed with parking and seating during weekend-Always busy especially around lunch time and big events.
