The lemon tea was surprisingly good. A little pricey at $7.40 with lychee jelly. But Good.!!

Came here at 1230 on 2/23 Friday for 2 pick up drinks, and the lady working there was just the best boba barista ever!! The drinks she made for me today was the best of drinks I’ve ever had here, and I’m so impressed by her customer service! She’s so professional an friendly and I highly recommend :)

Delicious! My only complaint is that there is only one giant size. I wish I could order a smaller one.

Cute little shop. Lots of parking spaces and easy access from freeway15. Good selection of drinks. I tried fresh squeezed lemon black tea without sugar. I added boba and lychee jelly. The cashier told me it would be sour. I said that's fine. I was right. It was so good and refreshing. With some jelly and boba in it, it had a slight sweetness and I loved it! I would order a lemon one again. The other 2 drinks are also good. We all had 2 types of boba. Lots of boba to taste each sip. Chewy boba and gelatin created a great combination of texture to enjoy drinking. The waffle looked good, so I added it to my order when Owas waiting my drinks. Crispy and soft at once, it is a great snack. I liked original the best.

Convenient boba spot in the Ralph's shopping complex. My favorite drink lately is the Strawberry green tea with salted cheese (I usually do 25% sugar and that's enough). The drinks here are unique and I'm excited to try more flavors!

I recently visited this Happy Lemon in San Marcos and enjoyed it a lot. I went in around 8:00 PM and there was no line and just a couple groups sitting at the tables indoors. I usually get a brown sugar milk tea with boba, but this most recent time I wanted to get something more bespoke to Happy Lemon. I asked the girl helping me for a good drink and she recommended the Oreo smoothie, which was really good. I enjoyed it a lot, and it really stood out from the normal Oreo beverages you'd get at a McDonald's or something. The tables and floors and countertops were all clean and the atmosphere was friendly. I would definitely love to come here again. I wish there was more tables, but I know they can't do anything about the limited space. I recommend trying this place at least once.

This place is cute, clean and open. Great customer services. I ordered a lot for a big group and the server was very patient. To me, the drink is not as good as other location. I also order the taro milk tea but it look so different with the advertised picture.I like that this mall has a big parking lot so it is easy to find parking.

Boba here is good. The drinks aren't bad but were on the sweeter side even with 50% sugar selected. I love the customization options but I wish I could select oat milk on the app (they have oatmilk in store but only a soy milk option in the app). As someone who can't have dairy or soy this was a little downside. (This place adds sweetened condensed milk to their milk tea)The ultimate thing that made me not love this place is the following experience:When I called to place an order I was told I had to use the app. I downloaded the app (instead of using Yelp so that they would receive all of the profits) and as I was checking out it would not let me checkout unless I selected a tip. The choices are various percentages or "other". I was able to select "other" and manually type in 0.00. There was no "no tip" option. That's shady! I do not believe I should be paying a tip when I'm driving 15 min to pick up my order and I'm paying $7.80 a drink. They make it super easy to tap a percentage but you have to go through various steps to not tip. Tipping culture is out of control and if you're charging that much for a drink then you should be paying your employees accordingly. I should not owe you a tip because I'm ordering pick up. For that reason they lost me as a customer and my family and I get boba quite a bit. If we keep supporting companies who do this they will never stop.
I was super underwhelmed by the bubble waffle on its own, but add the $1 puff cream and it's amazing!! Drinks are about $5-7 per person and waffle with cream is about $7.It's nice that the ice and sugar are customizable. Recommend the jasmine green tea.

This place gets 5 stars for Atmosphere and service. The people are always quick, friendly, and ready to provide service but this is my second time ordering from them and I had to go to the bathroom immediately. Now I am not lactose intolerant or anything. The first time I had diarrhea for two days glued to my toilet seat, I didn’t know what it was I ate that affected me. Long behold it’s a brand new day and I feel amazing, picked up a happy lemon drink and I am back to diarrhea. Now, my brothers, they are good. Nothing wrong with them so it can very well just be me. I am a female so my system is likely different but I just want to write my review that I got diarrhea again….from this store. I haven’t ate anything else to bring on an immediate urge to run to the bathroom.

This is my favorite drink and my go to boba order from this shop. However, today my drink tasted like it was made with expired product. Halfway through my drink it started to taste a bit sour.
