It was slow on a Sunday afternoon around 4:00. I was serviced right away and got my drinks quickly. The women had smiles on their faces and were friendly to us. My goddaughter and I loved our drinks! I’m not a huge fan of tapioca pearls (boba) so I always opt for other toppings. The taro balls were lightly flavored, soft and chewy (not as chewy as boba though. I enjoyed this combination with my tea. We don’t have this as a topping in Hawaii. I wish it was an option!Regarding prices, $7-$8 is the new norm for drinks in general, not just boba. You have to consider location and now inflation. Shops in Honolulu, San Francisco, Oakland, and Los Angeles also charge these kinds of prices. I have not seen boba drinks for under $6 for awhile. Prices have been steadily rising for several years now.
I ordered the mango matcha smoothie. It was really great. My friend added boba and the other added taro. I thought the taro would be similar to cold yams, but it was more of a gummy texture. So disappointed I didn’t get that in my smoothie. I thought this place was really great. It’s super convenient, nice area, and so many fun options with kind staff. I’d recommend trying their waffle. It’s good!
Great selection of bubble teas and boba. They were very busy and only 2 employees working but the wait wasn’t too long. The milk tea here is great, I had Milk Tea with Boba, pudding, and Lychee Jelly.The manager should hire someone to clean the bathroom, and the prices here are higher than other Happy Lemon locations, which is why it gets 4 stars.
For someone with lactose intolerance, but craving some milk tea - this place has plant milk options. We substituted with Almond milk. We weren't asked the level of sweetness or ice in our drinks.The default sweetness was a little too sweet for me.The lychee jelly though - delicious!
This place was packed when I arrive but service was pretty fast (15min wait) considering there were only 3 young ladies behind the counter. I order the Chocolate Bubble waffle and I also had a strawberry cheese cake smoothie. Both items were delicious.
Love the mango boba tea and I’ve been to this location at least 20 times. I took a star off because I wish more of the staff were able to be helpful to folks who are unfamiliar with choosing boba drinks. I wish the drinks were more consistent instead of it depending on who makes it and what kind of mood they might be in. Also, it seems like this location runs out of stuff too much. A couple weeks ago they were out of boba altogether. I’ll continue to go back, but until my wishes come true I am not likely to recommend the place to friends.
Great place to relax and the place is not too busy. They seem understaffed so expect long waits but the Bubble Waffle really is worth the wait.
Firstly I am a huge boba fan and I have been to other Happy Lemon locations but this one just does not cut it for me. Stopped by on a not so busy Thursday evening while I was in downtown and ordered the ube milk with boba, strawberry milk tea with lychee jelly and rock salt cream, the chocolate bubble waffles with the tiramisu salt crema. I liked my Ube milk tea with boba, the strawberry with lychee jelly was good too but the main attraction chocolate bubble waffle (which i lofe at other locations) was not cooked well. Was still a little wet not crispy enough. They could and should have left the waffle for another 45seconds atleast to cook it further if not more. The tiramisu dip is my fav but the not so great chocolate waffle ruined it for us. Sadly have been to better Happy Lemon locations and I will skip this one.
Way too sweet. I had the taro milk tea with 50% sugar. The tea does not taste freshly brewed and is very weak
Consistent happy lemon experience - great tea and salted cheese topping. While the cold drinks are by default the large size, drinks here are typically more expensive ($7-8) than most other happy lemon locations I’ve been ($4-6). I went in right before noon, and it wasn’t too busy.
