    Area to order
    Jheno C.

    I really enjoyed this spot. I was visiting out of town and my family wanted to order Boba. We put in an order by mobile device and we placed an order of about 18 drinks. They told us that it would be ready in about 15-20min from when we ordered. When we arrived they had the drinks ready and we divided up the drinks. Every drink was made very well and to the "T". No errors. That is very impressive in my book. My Mango smoothie was very good. Sweet and tart and delicious. My kids got a green tea lemonade with Boba and they wanted more lemonade flavor.. The bubble waffles were very tasty. We got an oreo and a regular. It came with a butter cream that was a bit savory and went really well with the waffle. It was delicious. The area is also very big and it fit us all with extra space. We love this Boba spot and we always try and come here when we are in town. There none in SoCal so we'll be back!

    I love the strawberry shortcake! Usually get it with aloe! The service was excellent, both people working in front were very friendly. The store is always clean and I love the open lay out! Good spot to relax and socialize :)

    Boba Milk Tea Puff
    Darah M.

    My order: Boba Milk Tea w/Puff Cream 7.99 with tax This Happy Lemon in Vacaville has plenty of seats and tables are handicap accessible. The space is clean, simple and a great place to hang out with friends. The service is fast and friendly. I got my drink less than 5 minutes. Bubble Waffles are also available. I didn't get any this time.

    This Happy Lemon location is close to my family's house and stopped by before heading back to SoCal. We came thru w 16 people and they got all our orders on point! Its a bright space with plenty of tables to host large parties like us. The staff is very friendly and we will definitely come back again next time we are in town. Thanks HL Vacaville!!

    Happy lemon has some of the best flavored milks teas, smoothies, and hot drinks. Today we got a mango matcha milk tea, strawberry shortcake smoothie, and an Oreo waffle. Plenty of Boba options available and a tasty "cheese" option for hot drinks. I come here mostly for their bubble waffles. They have dipping sauces which are delicious! Order ahead and use their app for rewards. I always get great customer service at this location.

    G3. Mango Yakult Smoothie
    Sandy L.

    I was really surprised by the low-ish rating on Yelp (just under 4.0 at the time I saw it). I think it's likely due to the initial novelty wave creating a longer than usual wait. When I went in at 1pm on a Saturday there was nobody. So I didn't have any complaints at all! The shop looks super clean without any overpowering cleaner smells. The cashiers were friendly and patient with us. The drinks were made very quickly. Lots of seating available. Cute decor. I got the mango Yakult smoothie (no modifications) and really enjoyed it! It is a little pricy for boba. For two drinks plus tip it came out to $14. I'd be happy to come back again!

    Very clean and convenient milk tea spot in Vacaville. The cashier was super helpful when ordering my Vietnamese coffee with salted cheese, her recommendation! Also got a boba milk tea puff, also delicious. We'll be back!

    Drink promotion
    Brian L.

    I've been a loyal Happy Lemon customer for years, visiting locations all over--from Sacramento and San Francisco to San Jose and Los Angeles. This is, hands down, the worst location I've been to. Despite several chances, this store continues to disappoint. I even came back recently after seeing a promising promotion (attached)--hoping they'd finally turn things around. Unfortunately, the experience just reinforced why I hesitate to return. There's zero effort to support the local community--no military or first responder discounts, and no sense of hospitality or brand pride. The store feels indifferent at best, uninviting at worst. Restrooms? Not available. Air conditioning? Turned off, even on hot days. Very slow vibe. It's clear they're cutting corners wherever they can--at the customer's expense. This is a textbook example of poor business practices and a complete failure to live up to the Happy Lemon name. Other locations get it right. This one doesn't even come close.

    Dragon fruit lemon slush
    Alex K.

    Tried this for the first time, I ordered the dragon fruit lemon slush and it was very tasty. I was a little bummed out that I couldn't modify the sweetness but the lemon balanced it out for me. Drink quality aside, I went on a Sunday afternoon, nobody was in there when I went and there were two workers there. I waited over 10 minutes for my drink and my friend's drink. Seems like a long time to wait for a drink that had an already premade base. By the time the drink was finally ready, I was ready to go from waiting so long. I've never had to wait that long for a few drinks at a boba place before especially when it was empty when I ordered.

    This is what it's supposed to look like

    I usually love Happy Lemon but this location is horrible. I came here around 1 pm on 6/4/2025. First we waited about 10 minutes to order with no one in front of us in line. Then to receive our drinks we waited about 25 minutes. When I got my drink I was so disappointed. I ordered the Ube Milk Tea with Taro Puff Cream. This is what I got. It tasted so watered down and it was gray. Then to top it off there was a tiny bit of puff cream only in the bottom. It wasn't good, I couldn't drink it. I asked them to remake it and it was the same. I will not be coming to this location anymore.

Monday had a completely different dynamic. From the very beginning, the staff was huddled by the juice press complaining about the music playlist and debating how & who was going to address the problem of the music playlist (or lack thereof - not sure which). Eventually, one of them acknowledged us and took our order. We sat down to wait and that's when the cashier walked over to the staff that was standing by the juice press and they continued complaining about the "playlist" or creating a playlist or something *I dunno* All I know is that one person was standing at the juice press and waiting for something and the other employee just stood there talking to her about the music playlist and who is "going to tell him". It was a full 6 minutes of us just sitting there. Nobody was even attempting to start my coffee order. My husband finally got up and told them that we are on a timeline. That's when the employee standing next to the employee staring at the juice press walked over to the Expresso machine and started to make my drink. Then they made it incorrectly, giving me only 2 shots not the 3 that I paid for. Then she proceeded to dump some of the liquid from the cup out and simply added another shot. This is wrong on so many levels. The coffee is delicious, the cold pressed juices are fresh and perfectly balanced. The customer service is hit/miss. Oh, and the tip jar is back front and center. Ironic that is is the last thing I was willing to do after the crappy service. PS Not sure what all the fuss is about the music playlist, BUT it's a BIG F*ing Deal for Mondays staff. Please address it so that they can focus on making coffee. Thanks.

    I've been coming here for a decade and their quality has only improved. The cafe is now larger and…read morea little more modern but they still left a touch of the aviation theme that started their journey. There is now a Tesla Supercharger so navigate to that instead of the cafe so that your Tesla preconditions while you enjoy your morning. They no longer support their own app and have turned the keys over to Square to create an account to make it easier to pay and reorder. The ready times you get in the app are later than it's usually ready so I recommend giving them 10-20 minutes lead time. Here's my rating of the variety of foods and drinks I've tried. Undertow - 8 - Fun twist on a cortado as the half and half is cold and they add a splash of vanilla. The hot espresso is carefully floated on top of the milk so that when you drink you feel the cold "underflow" of vanilla milk. Cortado- 8 - Small but powerful sip of espresso. I prefer it with half and half and a touch of sugar over Journey's method but it is a tasty sip. Lavender Latte - -10 - the best version of a lavender latte you'll ever have. Cherry Blossom Latte - 9 - The cherry syrup is very forward but blends nicely into the latte which gives it light finish. The coffee does get a touch lost so add an extra shot. Citrus Cocoa Latte - 9 - The orange syrup is prevalent throughout the drink but the cocoa starts to stand up more the last half of the drink. I don't prefer chocolate drinks but this doesn't taste like a mocha at all. Very well done Journey!!! Veggie n Egg Breakfast Wrap - 7 - Light and flavorful but needs some pop from another ingredient. I recommend using the Tapatio hit sauce to elevate it above our 7 rating for those that want some pop of flavor and can handle spice. Breakfast Hand Pie - 6 - The pastry wasn't crispy but it did have some crispy seeds on it to save the texture, a bit gummy for my liking. The filling was also creamy with more cheese than needed (and I love cheese). Although good, I wouldn't get it again because the flavor of the filling fell flat. First Class Wrap - 10 - If you can handle spice, the chipotle sauce is amazing amidst the variety of ingredients. This is my go-to and everybody I introduce it to gets it as well. Every business partner I've introduced this right off the freeway coffee stop has loved and kept as their own. It's a no brainer if you're headed down I-80.
