Reviews of Happy Lemon

S. B.

Had the brown sugar milk tea. I think it's worth the money for such a big cup. There was no queue and the staff is friendly. They are a bit shy with the pearls though. And one could say the pearls weren't cooked through entirely. I'm not sure if I'd recommend this place for only the boba tea. Since there are so many competing shops in this area which I have not tried yet.

C. Y.

I had a matcha milk tea and it was really good. No waiting line and was made really fast. The staff were friendly as well, no big notes. Wish it had more room to function though because I can imagine how crowded it can get if it becomes busy. However, good place to get milk tea with boba at and they also offer small dessert items on the side as well. It's right across from another sweet shop and has tables to the left of it if you want to sit down.

J.

I went here last week and i liked the bubble tea but it was very sugary and sweet, I expected less also the queue was long and the prices were expensive tbh

s.

pretty decent brown sugar boba - definitely not outstanding or the best I've had but it's pretty good! especially considering that this is one of the only bubble tea places that are still open after 9pm in china town - defo would be back here if my first option is closed :)

S. B.

Very short queue in comparison to next door, not sure what the difference is. Had the brown sugar Pearl boba bubble tea. Very nice, no complaints. Not amazing but I’d get it again, rather than queue 10 minutes. But the Japanese soufflé cheesecake was amazing . Highly recommend .

R. F.

My current favourite place. Fresh and quality ingredients, great atmosphere, friendly staff. You can taste the difference. I'm working my way through the menu on every visit. Strawberry lychee is a winner/taro /grape cream cheese. Perfect for a summer cooler or hot drink.

V. D.

I have only been here once but I have to say it was absolutely fantastic. Customer service: Very polite and not pushy. They are very helpful if you are unsure what to drink even when waiting in a long line. Ordering: I had a taro bubble tea, compared to other places taro doesn't come with pearls and they might charge you extra, but I am glad that at Happy Lemon they provide both. This is the first flavour I have tried here and loved it very much. I will definitely be back for more. If you are not sure what to order going for the classics such as Brown suger bubble tea is always a good choice.

L.

Not the worst bubble tea but not the best, however very fast service compared to others locally. The speed of service could come across as rude to some people but I didn't care. I had the strawberry cream crown.

B. B.

The only place in London where I can find something close to the famous Japanese jiggly cheesecake. They sell small and large cheesecakes. Nice and fluffy and moist. Lemon black tea is also beautiful and really flavourful. Would highly recommend!

A. A. M.

I asked for the puff cream with Oreo and boba, but I am pretty sure they forgot my puff cream. Otherwise the Oreo flavour which was made by some crushed press felt good and the bobas were also fine. Though I wouldn’t totally blame them as it was late and they were closing up shop and they still had some customers to serve so I just left quickly with my drink.

E. L.

The store was quite empty when I visited and the staff were able to patiently answer my questions about whether some drinks contained caffeine and/or milk. I enjoyed the black sugar milk with pearls drink, which I asked to be made with oat milk instead.

s.

Good experience been many times. I recommend you check the photo on this review as it has the menu, which can't even be seen on their website and you can only see it in front of the cashier who is usually busy.

B. R. W.

Good bubble tea nice taste but a bit sweet even 30% sugar

A. M.

Magnificent. Had the Oreo Tiramisu bubble tea, and it was as incredible as it sounds. One of the tastiest drinks I have ever tried in my life, i cannot recommend it enough. Go to Happy Lemon!

Y. P.

The warm brown sugar milk and pearls was heaven in the cool weather!

L.

This is by far my favourite bubble tea place that I’ve been to. I’m a regular customer, and every visit I find that the staff are pleasant, friendly - they recognise me and ask how I’m doing! My favourite drinks are the mango cream crown (the salted cheese topping is soooo good), coconut bubble tea, taro bubble tea, and the Oreo puff cream bubble tea. I can’t wait to try more flavours! Also their cakes are brilliant - the matcha crepe cake is amazing! The service is super fast so you never have to wait long! All in all I’d highly recommend it!

S. S.

My favourite bubble tea spot! Try the Oreo milk tea and thank me later! Oh! My daaaaays! It’s incredible! Wow! The milk ratio is prefect, it’s not too milky or too chocolaty. I cannot believe that I’ve only discovered this place. I don’t know what else to say really lol. Service was nice and polite. Very smiley which is always nice. They have other stuff like cakes and etc but will try another time, but I’m all about that bubble tea bruh! Amazing! Damn it’s addictive! 🤦🏽‍♂️See you next week Happy Lemon!

Love their bubble tea compared to other bubble tea places cough cough (the other having bubble in their name) their tapico balls are actually fresh and bouncy not hard rocks.

R. R.

I was craving fluffy Japanese cheesecake and came across a mini one at Happy Lemon. It was so good! Could have been a tiny bit sweeter but overall really tasty.

m.

The milk teas here are nice and tasty. There's no option to control the level of sugar in the drinks, though it's neither too sweet or bland. Mainly tried the fruit flavoured bubble teas, which are delicious.

M. T.

I like the bubble tea and the cake from Happy Lemon, I just wish the bubble tea wasn’t that expensive here. A few notes: The staff don’t really give off a friendly vibe but it’s a very fast paced shop so you shouldn’t really expect the best customer service. It’s best to decide what you want before you are at the till because there is usually a long queue and the staff just want to serve everyone as quickly as possible. The shop is very small and they only have a small bench to sit on, so be prepared for takeaway. Also, make sure you are aware that you pay an extra £0.50 per topping, so don’t be surprised if you see that your total cost is more than what you saw on the menu lol 😆

I. _.

We didn't have to wait and our bubble tea were filled with real fruits and had a great flavor: )

Z. L.

Tried their oolong roasted milk tea and added pearl. The drinks was good but i find the pearl somewhat lacking. It will be great if they improve on their pearl

J. J.

In my opinion, I think the Happy Lemon is the best bubble tea aroud Soho. (I ordered the original bubble tea with normal everything like sugar&ice) the bubble still soft and chewy when I don't drink it when I get from seller hand.

k.

This was my first time trying bubble tea so I can’t compare but I enjoyed my drink. There was so much choice but I chose one of the drinks off their best selling list which was a passion fruit green tea with lychee jelly. The jelly was amazing and the flavour of the tea was delicious. Service was very quick and I would love to return and try more flavours

Y. C.

Grape fruit green tea was really nice but a bit too sweet for my liking

J. L.

Authentic bubble tea place with a wide variety of choices, whether they be milk tea or fruit tea. This is a chain that is popular in Asia and managed by Asian employees. I highly recommend the fruit teas at this establishment. Classic toppings and good pricing.

K. S.

This is definitely one of my favourite places for bubble tea (boba) in Soho. I adore their Taro however be warned most of the flavours are extremely high in sugar. Oh and don't mind the queue it moves extremely quickly. My recommendation: Taro milk tea, half sugar, ice and tapioca ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

J. H.

I give Happy Lemon 4* because while my chocolate with salted cream cheese was the perfect blend of sweet and smooth cream, the pearl texture could be better! They didn’t have the normal QQ bounce, ever so slightly stiff. That said, the lids are cleverly designed so you have a hole to sip the two layers together and also put a straw in to suck the bubbles! To be fair, I don’t think the tapioca was needed. Best shop for this type of drink in my opinion. Also there was no line when I went early Sunday. Clear, precise service!

H. F.

Been wanting to try the cheese crown drinks. We had Tiramisu Cream Crown & Oreo Milk Tea £3.90 - this was an interesting beverage. The cheese/savoury taste on the top and mix it with the sweet chocolately on the bottom. Not as weird as I thought. This taste a bit like a chocolate frappe. But felt the chocolate wasn’t strong enough. Also had Classic Milk Bubble Tea £3.45 - a good old classic. I love places where you can ask for half sweetness and half ice. Felt the tea could be stronger though. They have lots of options to choose from and also the staff are very friendly. They don't rush you to decide even if there is a long queue.

S. A. (.

The mango green tea drink is so good and refreshing!!! We enjoyed it very much in the heat and went back again the next day 👍

I. W.

My favorite menu is the mango lemon tea. Feel refresh on the day that so tired. The cheesecake is quite nice it’s like the sponge. I would recommend to decorate a cake with some fruits or jams, probably it will be good birthday cake for someone special. One important thing... you need to pay by cash if you buy less than 5£. And they don’t except one and 2P coins.

I. K.

If you like bubble tea but are fed up with syrupy ones, this is the place to go. No sugar hand squashed lemon green tea is a must in hit days if you like sour taste That said the also do brilliantly sweet milk teas or fruit teas. Worth the visit!

D. S. G.

Super refreshing teas and really nice and chewy pearls/boba !

S. R.

Very good Japanese Style Cheesecake!

K. R. (.

Went three times while in London. The Red Bean Matcha Smoothie is AMAZING and my favorite!! I recommend, however, this particular tea isn’t for everyone but there are plenty of other options available.

A. A.

They have the best Japonais Cheese cake in London with 3 different sizes ( S , M , L ) 3.3£ 9.5£ 12.5£

N. T.

Just went today and spilled milk tea all over their counter. The staff was really kind and didn't get upset, but instead cleaned up the mess and made a new cup for me. Was really thankful 🥺

T. B.

I don’t know if everyone at the happy limit is so happy but the tea was great!

K. C.

Small store so often a line but not a long wait. The tapioca pearls and taro balls are consistently fresh. This place does the best cream on top version.

T.

Strawberry cream tea is very fresh and creamy ! A nice surprise!

M. B.

The cheesecake is just too good, along with the bubble tea… killer place! 5/5

H. H.

It was my first time going to Happy Lemon a while back and my first time trying out cream cheese beverages. May I say, when I had their Black Tea with Rock Salted Cheese, I was immediately astounded by how much I loved it. I’m not a cheese fan in general, but I’ll take this. A mix of sweet and creaminess. The tea itself wasn’t super strong which was pleasant, though I mistakingly did not order tapioca pearls with it which I was kinda bummed about Gets quite busy and packed, but the service was good nevertheless. Would love to come back here one day

L. R. M. B.

A favourite go-to milk tea shop around Leicester Square! Their lemon cheese cake is delicioso!

M. M.

I went to buy bubble teas to bring on my train journey and I am very happy. I tried the original milk tea with tapioca and my fiancé red bean milk tea. Both were absolutely delicious! One of my favorite bubble tea of London. The service was also very quick! I was impressed. The only thing is that I was a bit disappointed when I was ordering because the man was too quick and didn't ask me if I wanted tapioca in my drink and if I wanted to be cold or hot. Next I want to try their "brioche" because it is intriguing.

M. M.

Delicious milk tea, one of the best I had. My recommendation is milk tea hot with bubbles. Unless its summer then go for cold. Absolutely mouthwatering. Unlike some templates I didn't find the tea to be extremely sweet. Good amount of sugar.

K. A.

Speedy service and lovely staff, just make sure you pay attention for your number to collect your order! Definitely recommend the brown sugar boba tea and roasted oolong tea with red bean! 👌🏾👌🏾

h.

Good taste and the Tapioca pearls were chewy and tasty. The shop has loads of interesting flavors to try it's pretty popular.

F. C.

Really milky bubble tea but the pearls are not so great, it's not springy and sticks to the teeth type - means it's overcooked or sitting out too long. I also always ask for 50% sugar but always end up with 100% sugar because they don't really measure the sugar level .... I come here because the queues tend to be shorter than a good bubble chain nearby - called something "fresh".

B. K.

Not bad. I prefer bubble tea then fruit flavour slush. Service was fine. :)

C. C.

A non-descript boba shop, I was pleasantly surprised to find hot bubble tea (not a common menu item) with taro pearls. Hot bubble tea give the pearls a softer texture which I love. I'll be back for this at Happy Lemon!

V. B. D.

One of the best Bubble teas Loved it ❤️

D. V.

I usually go the bubble tea next door, but sometimes it's overbusy so I go to Happy Lemon instead. The quality is great, they have a lot of flavours but not everything is listed in the menu. Their bubble teas are quite consistent, next time I'll try medium size.

L. Y.

Serves great variety of tasty bubble tea. Small place, efficient and quick service.

b.

If you expect soft customer service by UK standards, you won't get it here. It's fast paced and straight to the point. I didn't mind that the cashier was hasty, it was very busy and cramped inside the small shop. I didn't really enjoy the drink I picked but it was an experience to tick off my list, I'd like to try more on the menu in the future. The prices are good and you'll probably only be waiting 2-5 minutes for your drink on a busy day. Impressively quick service in exchange for sacrificing your usual sugar-coated service. I appreciated this environment a lot. This would be 5 stars if the shop was a little more comfortable to wait around in, but it's mostly excused by the lightning fast service. You won't be hanging around long enough to complain.

A. A.

Not "Hella best" but ok. Didn't ask ice or sugar preference

A. S.

A decent bubble tea place. They offer a loyalty card scheme.

F. T. (.

Efficient staff, small shop which made queueing difficult but overall a good experience.

D.

Quick service. Was just what I needed on a hot day!

O.

Good selection of good drinks. Lots of flavors of tea and smoothies, with a variety of available toppings (including, of course, tapioca bubbles). Everything is available in hot or cold, with a gradient of sweetness (50%-100%), so you can basically customize your entire drink. It was £4 for a normal small bubble tea. It is more if you get more toppings or a bigger size.

M. T.

Bubble tea is ok, but their cheesecakes are amazing, fluffy, flavourful but not too sweet.

E. P.

The milk teas here are great. They are sweet on normal sugar level so ask for less sugar. You cant even ask for less ice or no ice. I have tried the other fruit teas here and they do taste more artificial and overly sweet. If you go for a milk tea here you cant go wrong!

X. C. A.

Huge range of bubble tea flavours! Was a bit sceptical about trying the taro flavour but I’m so glad I did - the milk teas are creamy and flavourful and the tapioca pearls are cooked well. There’s even a bench to sit on while you wait for your order.

I. L.

Sometimes it taste good. Sometimes it doesn’t. It just depends on the person making the drinks at that moment but overall a good bubble tea place. But the workers need to improve their attitude. I was once ordering at the counter while there are people outside wanting to come in to order, I heard the cashier lady speaking to herself that ‘quick go away please don’t come in’. Is this the kind of attitude that the workers doesn’t want any customers?? Does the boss or owner of this place know this? True story.

B. D.

Very nice ice tea place. Their speciality is in lemon and citric flavours (surprisingly!) but they do milky and warmer teas too. Its a small place with a little seat for sitting while you wait but it's not big enough to sit in while you drink. There's often a bit of a queue here, but the staff are quick so the wait isn't as bad as it might appear. The menu can be a bit daunting and I have a feeling some things have not been translated well (iced slushed teas are written as smoothie iced teas here). Staff aren't exactly friendly, but they aren't rude either, they're just in a rush to get your order and get to the next customer as soon as possible, which is fine by me! They also sell a few food items like durian cheesecake. If you are familiar with this style of tea or like any kind of cold citrus drinks, you have to try this place. If it's your first time going to this sort of place though, I'd recommend going to chatime or bubbleology where the menu is a little easier to understand and things are a little more relaxed.

n. j.

I have tried the classic bubble tea with tapioca which was really nice. The service was ok but I was quiet disappointed with the amount of ice that came with the drink. Half the cup was filled of thick ice, no wonder it finished so quickly, that's not very good practice. I may give it another try without ice this time.

v. o.

Quick service even on very busy day. Coconut milk tea and Mango Green tea are my favourite one :). The shop is also very cute looking, definitely on my list of top places ti get a drink. Would recomend it to socially awkward people just like me (no awkward moments or incidents in the time I have been there)

N. J.

My favorite milk tea so far in London. But I hope they allow their customers to use their own reusable cups. I asked before but was told it is against company policy. If coffee shops allow it, why can't they?

Y. i.

The bubble tea is overly sweet, definitely will not recommend. The staff is bit rude as well, couldn’t even bother to ask us about sugar and ice level we want when we ordered.

H. S. L.

Their bubble tea is more creamier tasting, and less of the 'tea' taste if that's what you enjoy then go for it. Recently they've brought out some new snacks and cakes and they're amazing! Make sure you try the crab floss cheesecake/sponge cake square thing. (I don't know what its called)

L. B.

Best bubble tea for miles, only place that stands toe-to-toe with this joint is the one two doors down but they seem to be out of a lot of flavours all the time. Happy lemon is reliable, not crazy expensive and delicious, staff are friendly and resourceful but it wouldn't hurt them to expand the menu a bit, switch it up a bit.

B. C.

Bubble milk tea store which also offering cheese cake on the menu. Personal choice was yam with the bubbles, fast and clean products. Sales person was very helpful and understand what they're selling. My choice for today seasonal special menu with purple sweet potatoes flavoured milk tea. Only downside is they didn't offer less sugar options. They have size options hot cold options but missing with sugary level options. I don't take much of sugary drinks, only have them once in a blue moon.

A. E.

A good choice of bubble tea on offer and the price is normal for London's bubble tea shops. The snow/cream cloud is delicious. If you like cheesecake, get it since it gives that kind of savoury/sweet taste.

P. D.

I love sugar cane milk at Happy Lemon, it's sweet, tasty and so refreshing.

M. S.

One of my favourite bubble tea places in Chinatown. Uses real tea, not powder like some other chains. I'm a sucker for the salted cream topping.

S. D.

This place remains one of the best boba milk tea in London. Quite small and crowded.

꧁. K.

Nice staff, and very friendly. I would definitely come again.

c. f.

Astounding quality boba, never had a bad drink from here

r. t.

Best milk tea!! I travel over an hour to get their classic milk tea with the boba, best basic drink ever. Have many options, including fruit tea with the popping Pearl's.

E. C.

The japanese cheesecake they sell was good however it wasnt really the same as traditional japanese cheesecake that is meant to be jiggly and fluffy. This tasted more like normal cheesecake but it was still very good.

Z. C.

I ordered yakult and passion fruit last week, and mango cream crown this week, as it's Corona time so quick service, and l can taste its fresh both times, not very sweet and large cup is worth it👌

C. S.

Big selection of bubble tea! I can never decide whether I like cuppacha or happy lemon more, so I just keep alternating the two. It's always pretty busy here, which I take as a good sign. Pro tip: ask to adjust your sugar and ice levels (I always go for 'less sugar' and 'half ice' to cut down on the sweetness a bit)

V. D.

Me and my sister visited this place in the summer. Taiwanese bubble teas made from freshly brewed loose leaf teas and using fresh organic milks. Vegan-friendly soya, almond and oat milk options available too. We had the tea with the Tapioca balls.

E. T.

I couldn't really find fault with the service here, I think knowing Chinese helps as you can query the staff as much as you like what in the world this bubble tea place is all about? I am still confused. The branding is pretty, the store is attractive. They even have the happy lemon mascot outside (doll not a real person walking around) and even a strobe light shining the Happy Lemon logo onto the floor immediately in front of the shop. Such amazing gadgetry to bring in clientele, which really does work as it's pretty much stealing a lot of the customers away from the bubble tea place immediately next door. What I don't get are the drinks. Yes it's lemon based but most of them are not suitable with bubble tea maybe, and it's a lot more sour than you would expect for a drink which is usually pretty sugary. They have very outrageous flavour choices and combinations so be prepared for a hit and miss drink when you order anything here. You might get lucky, but more often than not you might not get a drink that you would really enjoy, unless you are, a happy lemon and LOVES lemon of course.

A. C.

Nice selection of teas - I got a melon milk with normal tapioca. Not quite wintermelon, which I love and haven’t found in the UK yet, and not quite honeydew... but still refreshing. Pearls were great - not under or over set. I didn’t ask for ice (and yet was given it) and didn’t get around to specifying sugar level before the server had shouted my order... Lots of comments about staff abruptness, but think there’s cultural differences in standard etiquette to consider. It is small here with busy queues and can feel claustrophobic - orders not necessarily in order - so prepare to wait. If I come back I’ll try a cream crown... salted cheese sounds weird, but I’m curious!

M. S.

Great milk bubble tea. Our second order for red bean matcha smoothie with tapioca was messed up and was made as matcha tea with tapioca. It tasted good and the sticker on the cup showed that the error was miscommunication at order time and we were charged for what we got. Will definitely go back again while ensuring clearer order. Mistakes happen and may have been our fault in not ordering it in the right sequence.

T. S.

Great classic bubble tea cold or hot(sometimes the hot isn’t always hot but they’re usually happy to change it). They need to stop charging 50p to use the card machine on payments under £5! But other than that it’s good

T. I. A.

Always like happy lemon either in Shanghai or in London. They have amazing mango lemon smoothie!!!!! although I don't like tapioca, I always add lychee jelly and taro balls into my drink. Taro balls are really special. It's kinda soft and a bit chewy. Also, staff was very nice and friendly, a lot of questions asked during order lol but I know they do it for making my drink ideally. We always have funny conversation. Warm reminder***** better to bring cash with you unless you don't care to pay extra Summer is coming, seems like I have to go more often to get my smoothie

L. B.

Average bubble tea. Convenient and affordable. Try the green lemon iced tea.

S. P.

Good bubble tea! They have interesting flavors.

P. M.

The fluffy cheescake is very good. It's better that what I tasted in Osaka, Japan

J. T.

My favourite bubble tea place of those around in central London. Similar price, but larger choice and nicer teas available. Service is friendly, although there can often be queues outside.

T. T. R. L.

Timeless classic bubble tea and worth the price!

J. R.

I come here fairly often enough to say they maintain great service overall. Quick even when busy and crowded. Small place so quick service with big lines is appreciated. Friendly staff who I have seen be very helpful towards visitors who are unfamiliar with the menu. And the drinks are good even if it is a tad pricey for product. The cheesecake is also worth purchasing, very tasty! Thanks!

R. L.

It was raining today and I was in China town this afternoon, so I decided to get a drink from happy lemon which is a bubble tea shop I walk pass every day when I go for college. I ordered a mango green tea with mango poping balls and tapioca. The staff was so bubbly and offered me if myself wanna go for a lower sugar level mango green tea since this drink is quite sweet in regular sugar level. The drink was so......AMAZING! I wasn't a tea person before, but after this drink.... Totally changed my view on tea! Im totally in love with this shop and will definitely go back again tomorrow x

M. K.

Lovely milk tea and tasty, soft and chewy tapioca. I only wish they added more tapioca pearls to my drink! Service is fast and friendly.

J. B.

Corrected my order with no fuss and no extra cost after I forgot to ask for tapioca pearls. Very kind! Also the bubble tea hear is top notch!

V. B.

Liked it overall though I won't be rushing back. The chocolate tiramisu boba was just chocolate milk. My friend's taro milk tea was too sweet and didn't really taste of taro at all. This place also lacks variety and the prices are a bit high. I prefer Cuppacha next door.

S. I.

Loved their brown sugar boba, perfect amount of sweetness (for me). Small place but fast service. We had to wait 15 mins because of the queue but it's worth the wait! Surely coming back.

Y. F.

If the shop cannot open until 10pm, please change your opening times on Google, otherwise it is very confusing! I went to Happy Lemon tonight at 9:40pm which is 20 minutes before their closing time (10pm as shown on google and also on their door). However, they have already closed at that time! I was very confident before I make all the way for the milk tea and only find out this! I was frustrated and felt waste of time.

V. L.

Very popular as it had a long queue! Worth the wait with a delicious mango and jelly smoothie. It’s becoming one of my favourite bubble tea shops plus it’s so cute

S. L. L.

The Japanese light cheesecake is superb!

B. L.

Newly launched (2015) bubble tea grab and go store by one of the big bubble tea chain from Asia. Bright, cute and digitalised, happy lemon lists its product on HD TV screens in its brightly lit store that is littered with cute little lemon icons. Apart from the (many) tradition range of bubble teas, Happy Lemon also has a refreshing range of lemon themed drinks. Offers a loyalty buy 10 get 1 free membership card. Tea tends to be over sweeten so it is worth asking for half sugar or even 1/4 sugar at times.

L. V.

One of the cheaper bubble teas in London and it’s good too

B. W.

Yummy and unique bubble tea.

s. b.

Best bubble tea in London! I love their purple yam❤️

J. I.

Fantastic! I went to the happy lemon yesterday, I tried the green tea with rock salt cheese which is definitely my favorite one. It is so amazing! I never thought it would taste so good. Very nice shop!

V. N.

Fell in love with their drinks but not so much for the shop. Strategically located in London's Chinatown, but it's a shame that the shop is way too small to accommodate the number of patrons especially during peak times.

F. W.

I only like one drink here. The classic lemon jasmine tea cold drink. It’s so refreshingly delicious for a fair price. The place is too small and not comfortable for waiting.

n. r.

The service is fast. Faster than a bullet train. And milk tea was delicious as well. I ordered the mango and orange green tea which I recommend.

D. B.

Nice place, very tasty bubble teas!!! Small but convenient.

S. A.

A bit pricey but I understand it was because I added toppings. Would come back again but I wish the taro bubble tea was a bit more sugary as I asked for extra sugar and also less milky

C. X.

This shop definitely has the best the bubble tea in London even the whole uk. Every time I will get rock salt cheese green tea with double tapioca, it's amazing! 😍😚

C. S.

Big selection of bubble tea! I can never decide whether I like cuppacha or happy lemon more, so I just keep alternating the two. It's always pretty busy here, which I take as a good sign.

J. S.

Strong lemon flavour almost like lemon curd. Was really nice just wish I lived closer.

S. R.

Best bubble tea. Delicious. The staff are very nice too. I'm a frequent customer

J. S.

Always the first place when visit London. Iced bubble tea was good. Staff were nice.

S. B.

A new place for me, drink was so refreshing, passion fruit and lemon. Bit pricey but it was a day out so once was fine.

S. I.

Loved their brown sugar boba, perfect amount of sweetness (for me). Small place but fast service. We had to wait 15 mins because of the queue but it's worth the wait! Surely coming back.

S. H. T.

I come here every morning for milk green tea. Great drink and friendly staff. Love it

N.

Loveee happy lemon! My favourite drink is warm milk tea with tapioca and pudding.

M. T.

Out of all the bubble tea places, this is probably the most unique with its baked sea salt cheese topping option. It's like drinking a yummy cheesecake!

M. H.

A little slow but worth the wait. Don't be fooled by the surrounding shops! There's a reason this one is the only one with a queue!

E. T.

I couldn't really find fault with the service here, I think knowing Chinese helps as you can query the staff as much as you like what in the world this bubble tea place is all about? I am still confused. …

Happy lemon is reliable, not crazy expensive and delicious, staff are friendly and resourceful but it wouldn't hurt them to expand the menu a bit, switch it up a bit.

The best bubble tea in London. You can chose from lot of options. I love them.

z. p.

Exactly the same as in China!

I ordered yakult and passion fruit last week, and mango cream crown this week, as it's Corona time so quick service, and l can taste its fresh both times, not very sweet and large cup is worth it👌

T. I. A.

Always like happy lemon either in Shanghai or in London. They have amazing mango lemon smoothie!!!!! although I don't like tapioca, I always add lychee jelly and taro balls into my drink. Taro balls are really special. It's kinda soft and a …

No trip to China town would be complete without a stop off here. Great teas always busy but worth the wait

m. a. R.

S. B.

A new place for me, drink was so refreshing, passion fruit and lemon. Bit pricey but it was a day out so once was fine.

H. N.

Really fast service, love the yakult lemon slushy so refreshing!

My personal favourite Bubble Tea joint up town. More fruity and a sensible amount of sugar!

Y. R.

our favourite buble tea shop. once a week we have to go.

N.

Loveee happy lemon! My favourite drink is warm milk tea with tapioca and pudding.

a.

Yummy milk tea and cheesecake. It’s a bit let down by the staff, since there always seems to be a lot of them crammed behind the counter and they talk among each other a lot, distracted.

M. T.

Out of all the bubble tea places, this is probably the most unique with its baked sea salt cheese topping option. It's like drinking a yummy cheesecake!

J. J. P.

I would buy every day if it was cheaper. Delicious especially the original. 5 stars

N. G.

Be mindful that the bubble tea is really sweet! Particularly the rainbow peach that was bought.

Rock salt drinks are definitely a must try here at happy lemon. Don't mind the crowd - the queue moves very quickly

B. f.

Was very tasty. Just like bubbleolgy but I got bits of mango in my tea. Didn’t like that.

Mango lemon tea on a hot day - this is the place!

Perfect bubble tea and the most customisable I've had, you can even select your sugar level!

I love the tea but the service is not the best, would think they are more like a sour lemon not happy at all

The best bubble tea in London. You can chose from lot of options. I love them.
