Happy Lemon South Lake Union

I’ve been to many Happy Lemon locations in different states, but Seattle is always the best. I don’t know if it’s something with the water or the temperature here, but their bubble waffles always come out just right, crispy, fluffy, never soggy or burnt like some other locations. One thing you should always do: add the salt cheese dip with the waffles. It’s basically the peanut butter and jelly combo of Happy Lemon. Sweet, salty, creamy, and so addictive.

Went to get boba after a long day. They’re located at a very nice area with beautiful views. The moment I stepped in, a sweet smell embraced me. I ordered Boba tea, the drink was decent, kinda expensive. The reason why I rated a 5 star is because the staffs are the most chalant and friendliest than all other locations I went to. One of them is unintentionally funny, she reminded me of my cat. Overall I had a great experience, recommended for people that want a sweet snack, drink, or hanging out.

Overall good experience. Unfortunately no one asked me how sugary I want my drink… In Issaquah location they always ask a lot of questions. I felt like people didn’t care a lot here. Drinks were good and boba was fresh. I ordered their new drink Okinawa roasted milk tea. It has interesting aftertaste, kinda caramel- brown sugar. It was really sweet though. We ordered regular milk tea and milk tea with puff cream too. It was really good! Location is pretty, and not very crowed at 6pm on the weekdays! I gave 4 stars because I would love to see people working there more engaged.

A little on the expensive side, but great drinks, and atmosphere! I’ve tried a few things off the menu and nothing has disappointed so far! My latest favourite is the matcha mango smoothie with lychee and low sugar. The drinks are very sweet by default and the various sugar levels make this drinkable regardless of what your sweet tooth is like. The space has a good amount of seating but gets full at lunch and right after work. The shop smells amazing because of the bubble waffles. While they have vegan options for the drinks, none of the snacks are vegan. Overall good spot for bubble tea!

You can smell this place before you see it ( a delicious waffle smell). It's more of a snack / dessert situation for me but delicious options such as boba waffles and milk teas, etc. I got the 1/2 sugar boba milk and still found it extremely sweet so be mindful of that.
