Happy Lemon Oakland Reviews
Finally a Happy Lemon in Oakland! This space is particularly spacious and the staff are very friendly. Their fruit teas are so incredibly good, and I love how you can add fresh fruit as a topping. The boba is also very fresh and flavorful. Their milk teas and slushies are great, and their lemon drinks are super refreshing. Will be coming here VERY often! Okinawa roasted milk tea is outstanding!
Ube Milk tea with regular puff cream, no boba was sooooo delicious
Great tasty drinks

Very clean and open space. I ordered the grapefruit tea with lychee jelly which was delicious but also too sweet so next time I will tweak my order to have less sugar. My daughter ordered the milk tea with boba and puff cream (I think that is what it was). She loved it! We received our drinks promptly. Located near Fenton's
Happy Lemon is my favorite boba place! No frills, just good drinks overall. Their boba is consistently delicious and the right texture, which is hard to get other places. This location is clean and quick too! Don’t forget to sign up for their free rewards program through their app… because who doesn’t like free boba!!
Been here a few times since it opened and have always been pleased! The lemon slushees and fruit teas are my favs so far and the boba is fresh. So excited to have a boba shop open late in Oakland!
Winter melon milk drink was awesome! Clean inside. Wish I had asked for half ice
Soooo tasty I love it sooo much

Love Happy Lemon! Probably should've stuck with my usual mango matcha but I wanted to try something new. Drink wasn't terrible.. just wasn't it for me.
I need to try more drinks to get a better outcome of my results.

I really enjoy happy lemon.The only problem at this location, even though I order ten minutes prior to arrival in app. Both times the drinks were being prepared after my arrival. It's never been ready
Delicious food and would recommend their waffles! Their smoothies/drinks are great but I had to take off a star because it was vett try hard to communicate with the barista who did not seem to know English very well, but she was still very kind.
Missing something present in the Berkeley location, but still had a good visit
Drinks came out fast, cashier was friendly

Not too much taste and it’s on the pricey side

Pedestrian boba, and your experience will vary greatly depending upon who’s working the counter. Since I love boba I usually order a large milk tea and ask for a generous boba portion, just a tiny bit extra. Some of the workers are cool and do it no problem, but the other day I encountered this odd girl who couldn’t wrap her head around the concept. She was like a dog with a bone. “You have to pay extra!” But I don’t want a whole extra amount, just a little bit….please? “No, it cost extra!” It was a bizarre interaction, for sure. I just left, and she should learn to use her brain.

Always a different drink than the one I ordered, I asked for any suggestions but they were not friendly at all, they started speaking in another language and laughing amongst themselves, I find it in bad taste, they did not want to change my 9 year old son's order even though they completely changed what he ordered.
