    I had a very delicious bubble tea here at Happy Lemon. Service was fast and friendly. I would recommend checking this place out!

    there's plenty of options for bbt on robson, including happy lemon. happy lemon is one of the og on robson, they also have bubble waffles available at this store. i had the grapefruit and yakult, as i like the combination of sour and tart, 50% sugar and less ice, $7.69. dayum, it's starting to be a little too cold for ice drinks, i was feeling a chill, time to switch to hot beverages soon, winter is coming...

    We got ourselves some bubble waffles being tempted by their very cute wrappings. Was I ever disappointed! First of all, we ordered through ubereats but the order did not show up on the app on time. Secondly, the waffles were not cooled down before being put into the bag, which was a major mistake because it will make them soggy quickly and lose their crispy exterior. Thirdly, the taste was subpar. The chocolate had an off-taste, slightly acrid after taste and the original did not have the eggy aroma you should be getting from a properly made batter.

    The Pearl Milk Tea is very, very, very tasty. The Bubble Waffle is so so so so so so so so so soft. It's like biting into a cloud. Would recommend.

    I got a coupon to try the cheese green tea. There was one person working. I stood at the cashier for awhile as another couple is waiting for their drinks to be prepared, and then I was acknowledged. My drink surprisingly took only a couple of minutes to make. The cheese green tea married each other really well in flavours. Size is decent.

    I enjoyed the drink it was not aweet like most bubble teas. I normally can only handle a couple of sips. Had the strawberry shortcake.

    Dropped in here because I was craving a bubble waffle and they delivered, although it took a bit long, the waffle came out hot and crispy and smelled so good and had a really good sweet custard flavour.

    Best boba shop in vancouver! They have the crispiest softest bubble waffle no one can beat. I am really a fan of strawberries and all their drinks with strawberries are the best. Their lychee jello and boba are soft and tasty, not hard to chew. Staff are friendly and nice and always happy to help and give recos, so if it's your first time to try, give it a try! Their brown sugar boba milk tea is so good too!!

    Chocolate w/ Tiramisu Salted Cheese (w/ Pearls)

    Was feeling indulgent and tried the Chocolate w/ Tiramisu Salted Cheese drink. The drink was VERY rich and creamy, strong chocolate flavour. The cheese foam was also quite thick, the tiramisu flavour was more subtle but blended really well with the chocolate and made for a delicious experience. I really liked their pearls - they were a bit smaller than average but very smooth and chewy and seemed to be slightly sweet. I ordered a medium, which is smaller than what you'll get at lot of other places, but the drink was so rich I don't think I could've handled a large anyway. The shop itself is pretty small - there's some stools lined up at a counter along the window but that's it for seating, so it seems this is more of a grab-and-go place. The setup is cute though, I liked the giant smiling lemon, and the staff was nice enough.

    I went to Happy Lemon on Robson street Vancouver Downtown to try some of their new teas and a bubble waffle. Even a block away from the store you can smell the fragrance of the bubble waffle they make in house. They taste so good when their so fresh! It's so hard not to finish it in one shot. I tried 4 drinks: - Passion fruit with mango Ice Tea - Dragon Fruit Slush with Cream Foam - Watermelon Slushy with Salted Cream Foam - Golden Kiwi Ice Tea To be honest I was afraid of the concept of salted cheese with any drink it didn't sound very appealing. But I was so wrong. The Watermelon slushy with salted cream foam was so good! I encourage anyone to try it! I really enjoyed the drinks, and the waffle! I do however wish there was more room inside :) Other than that everything was very good!

    I really love this place. There are two remarkable drinks that I like. 1. " Taro and Purple sweet potato fresh mike" It was not very sweet, no extra sugar and no caffeine. I can tasted the real taro and purple sweet potato. And it comes with taro balls ( always sold out in the afternoon ). 2. " manage pomelo sago" It's amazing. I love the fresh mango with coconut milk . it is a little expensive, but it worth it. It is not only than a drink, because it come with crispy balls, sago, fresh grapefruit and fresh mango. It is totally different from another bubble tea shops. Remember to try their bubble waffles. Original is the best!!!

    My favourite combo at Happy Lemon is Lemon Pineapple Green Tea with Pearls & Original Bubble Waffle. The pearls are chewy and the pineapple bits add a sweet texture to this refreshing drink. The bubble waffle comes in a cute paper wrapper, the outside of the waffle is crisp and the inside is soft. The taste is okay, I find the price ($4.80) a bit too expensive but it is a good fix whenever I crave some bubble waffles.

    We wanted some drinks on the way home and stopped by here. Service was fast. Drinks were decent. We asked for a mango slush and they did not have that option available so we ordered the next closest option - mango lemon. It was a bit on the sweeter side than I would have liked. The taro and sweet potato with fresh milk was good. It was lightly sweetened when mixed with the milk.

    The cashier should be fired. He was incredibly rude, sighing and rolling his eyes at a request to make a drink less sweet. Go elsewhere!

    Delicious, lots of different flavour combinations to try from!…read more Friendly staff, and willing to modify different flavours to create what you're looking for. Have been going here for 3-4ish years, same quality, theres been drinks i haven't liked but then so many i have but what I may not like could be another persons yum and what i like might be another persons yuck. Can find whatever you're looking for, not only just cold bubble tea but you can get hot drinks, icecream, food, sweets and more! Definitely worth trying it out :)

We got one of those and a Durian Smoothie. I think we somehow missed the Greentea part of this drink cuz when we got it, hubby and I were both surprised at how green the drink was. It's only now that I look back at the photo I took of the menu that I realize the word Greentea was in the name of the drink so...not so surprising anymore that our drink was green. I honestly didn't taste much Greentea in it though. Mostly I tasted KitKat and Brown Sugar. Didn't taste any kind of Cheesecake flavor in it. It wasn't a bad drink but I think I prefer the fruity drinks that we've had from this place in the past. I think I'd have also preferred this drink to be slightly less sweet than it was. We brought our drinks home and had them while watching a movie. Hubby sat further back in the room while our daughter and I sat in the front of the room, but I could still smell the Durian smoothie from where we were sitting!

Selections are decent. however the menu is very confusing as they have a posted menu online, a digital menu via QR code and some posted menus. Unfortunately the menus were not in sync. My friend saw a couple of things she wanted to try from the online menu and was told they do not have those items. There are combo on the spot which are not their online menu and the digital menu. We ordered the chicken panini, a small mango bingsu and an order of tue mochi bubble waffle and taro milk tea. The food is very good. there is decent amount of ingredients in the chicken panini (which i forgot to take a picture of). The mochi bubble waffle was decent and i liked the taro milk tea as well. The bingsu was very well made but the price is a bit on the high end given the size. Overall service was good too

    A fun hole in the wall dessert spot x flower shop!…read more Essentially there's a dessert counter in a shared space with a flower shop operated by the one owner - super adorbable concept, the boss was so nice to introduce his menu to us as well! Located on the same block as quite a few other popular HK dessert spots, I more inclined to go to Rose Cafe because it's quieter and a more comfortable environment to relax and sit around in. The boss mentioned they can make anything for us (!) including ginger milk, the sago desserts and that they event have the pistachio paste (yum!). For a quick dessert run - I opted for the small mango shaved iced, it's served with nice and ripe mango chunks, and a fresh mango shaved ice base. For just about $10 it's worth the dessert stop! They had a nice menu of several classic HK items - from deep fried chicken wings, to bubble waffles to pearl based drinks that only HK locals would order. Worth a try if and when you're in the Nanaimo / Kingsway area! Also (!) - very reasonably priced flowers and potted plants!!!

He rang us up, then ran behind curter to make our drinks. It didn't seem too busy here so maybe it was manageable for him.

Located in strip mall with other businesses, parking is free.

    This is one of the better boba spots I have tried in Richmond where they have some creative drinks…read moresuch as the ones with panna cotta and mochi. I personally tried the cheese foam black tea with mochi and golden pearls which costed close to 10CAD. The cheese foam was slightly salty and pretty creamy, and the taste is much more pronounced when you dip the plain mochi into the drink. The mochi itself was slightly soft though a bit uneven in texture as some parts are chewy and some parts are already a little bit dry. I do like they nicely wrapped the mochi in a plastic bag to preserve the moisture, though I ended up trying it out immediately to get the maximum freshness. The tea itself is flavorful and not too sweet, which is what I intended because I opted for light sugar (30%). The golden pearls were pretty chewy and are the right preferred texture. While I liked the general quality of the drinks, like other reviews mentioned, the price of the drinks are a bit on the higher end but the quality did not really scale up compared to a good boba spot.
