Happy Lemon is just the treat that I need after a long day. It's located in a busy part of downtown Evanston. I absolutely love their Mango Matcha smoothie with crystal jelly balls. I personally prefer to get 50% sweetness; however I would say I lean more towards the mild side vs loving overly sweet things.The drinks come out very quickly, so you aren't waiting for too long. There are a few spots to sit inside, but I personally prefer to grab and go.I highly recommend trying Happy Lemon if you can!
? hmmm … went on a date here (yes, 35 year old women can drink boba) with my attr@ctive mixed tinder date whom i was hoping i could impress so i can finally be on someone else’s income. Saw my ex-husband there. With his new Russian wife. Was Humiliated. Boba was alright but i’ve had better at other places and staff is nicer elsewhere. Place appeared clean. Music could have been better. Bad song came on—made my day worse. Date blocked me. Not happy Lemon fault.
When I saw the sign in the window advertising the Winter Melon Lemonade, I knew I had to have it.It was a great choice, I added Mango Crystal Boba and this drink was sooo delicious!The staff was very friendly and helpful, even when they got busy.The store itself is small with only 2 small tables for 2 inside.It was a nice warm day when we went, so we walked outside with our drinks.A perfect drink for a prefect day!
I got the strawberry Shortcake with oreos.It's great that they offer the option of less sugar. I got 50% less sugar. The drink was great, and I did not miss the sugar at all. This is a small location in the middle of the block, so it's easy to miss. You have to make it a destination. But, once you do, it's well worth a trip.Service is fast, and they do get busy, especially on a hot day.

The Milk Tea with salted cheese foam is phenomenal. I drank about a third of it before mixing the foam in, and the salty-cheesiness was a great complement to the milk tea. I love it. I crave it.The strawberry green tea with lychee was refreshing and very tasty. I got 70% sugar and it was perfect. Strong and perfumy strawberry with a nice acidity.
I mistakenly ordered delivery from the Evanston location instead of the closer Fullerton one. I was concerned because it was a 30-minute drive to my place, but it arrived in perfect condition—still cold—and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and taste, which were actually much better than what I've experienced from the Fullerton location.
I’m sorry to say that I have to give this place a bad review. One of the drinks tasted like plain water, while the other two were overwhelmingly sweet with just honey. They were meant to be lemon honey tea, but it seems they forgot the lemon entirely. I've had wonderful experiences at HL in Houston, so I'm really disappointed.
Decent bubble milk tea place. The place is small in there for grab-and-go. Ordered a Wintermelon Black Tea with Milk Boba at 75% sweetness, which still ended up being quite sweet.

The boba drinks were disappointing; the boba was undercooked and hard. Additionally, the overall cleanliness of the place left much to be desired.
They has terraria music and it was amazing.
