Reviews for Happy Lemon in San Francisco, CA
Stopped by near the closing time but they were open so ordered a regular Jasmine Green Tea with Boba. It was very disappointing... - the tea tasted stale, the boba were hard, and it tasted like water. Unpleasant experience and would not be back since there'sno lack of good boba places. I acknowledge it could be a one-off bad experience but life is too short to take risks like these. Read more
I love this place. I get my my boba fix here, 2-3 times a week. Service is excellent. Staff is always friendly and cheerful.
I always get the warm boba milk tea here and it?s great! Also, it?s conveniently located next to Spark Social in case you want a... non-alcoholic drink to pair with food. Read more
The drinks are always on point and made to order. Staff is super friendly as well. Best boba spot in SF! Pro-tip, get puff... cream on the side to dip with their waffles. It makes it soooo much better! UPDATE: my friend was an idiot and dropped hisdrink after a visit. The staff made him a new drink even though it was completely his fault. AND they did this while they werebusy, free of charge! Now THIS is above and beyond customer service and how you win customers! They honestly didn?t have toremake one considering it was my friend?s fault but they did anyway, one of the best services I?ve ever encountered. Read more
Not a great boba spot, the options are limited, no seating, parking in this area is tough, the drinks/boba were okay, and the... staff wasn?t all that friendly? Read more
Indoor seating: no WiFi: I haven?t tried it since there was no seating Restroom: yes, one I think (update: the entrance is... blocked so I don?t think customers are allowed to use the restroom) Recommendations: I?ve only tried the Boba Milk Tea withPuffed Cream (50% ice 50% sugar) and it was pretty good, though nothing surprising or that different from other milk teas I?vehad. I?ll keep updating the review based on different drinks I get to try! Update: I?ve tried the Green tea with Salted Cheese(50% ice 25% sugar, based on another review I read, with boba) and I think the biggest mistake is that I got a large sizeinstead of a medium size. It took a while until the green tea got a good mix with salted cheese, and until then I couldn?treally taste the salted cheese at all. Once I got to a good taste of salted cheese I understand why everyone likes salted cheeseso much - it does add a salty creamy texture to your drink :) I got the Okinawa Fresh Milk Boba (if anyone is looking for thebrown sugar drink, this is it!) with 75% sugar, 50% ice and it tasted great!

Our favorite new SF tea spot! You can adjust sweetness and / or ice but their sweetness is already not as sweet as the majority... of other boba tea shops in the Bay Area. Very friendly staff and quick service. I love the bright open space and splashes ofyellow decor! Definitely will be going back to try more! Read more
I love this Happy Lemon. The location is great with lots of foot traffic, plenty of street parking available around each block... in the surrounding area. The owner is really nice and pretty, she handles everything so well Uber pressure as I?ve seen some ofthe ugly times when they were understaffed, somehow she?s still able to get my drink in a reasonable amount of time!! Bonus forhow clean this place is, no sticky floor or tables. Not even any trash/receipts laying around anywhere inside or outside thestore. Read more
