Happy Lemon has the best bubble waffles in the Seattle/Portland area. Who doesn't know that already! Please expect to wait because the bubble waffles are made to order and this one location is smaller than the other locations in WA. The ones I've been to in WA usually have an average wait time of 30-40 mins during peak hours for bubble waffles and people would still wait for it. That's how good they are.

The girl said there was nothing she could do about it and I would have to pay to have another drink made. I threw the drink in the trash and left. The bubble waffle was the only decent part. Do not recommend to anyone. Go to Jamba Juice or somewhere else that makes sure all their customers are satisfied instead of this overly...

We ordered three drinks and not only did they forget the first one, but when it came out, it didn't have boba, and they wanted to charge us again to add it when there were at least six people in line. I also asked for boba in the third drink when we ordered but the cashier didn't hear me. Another time, we came an hour before closing and they didn't have any boba at all.
Freshly squeezed lemon honey green tea: "10 out of 10, it's a great drink but it would be even better with boba, like how I ordered it"
Milk tea with boba: "solid 7 out of 10, but tastes like 0 out of 10 because of what they did"
Strawberry tea with lychee jelly: "8 out of 10, confusing that it's blended but the ice is...
