Happy Lemon - Boston
417 Washington St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Happy Lemon brings a buzzy energy to downtown Boston with inventive milk tea creations that go beyond the basics, especially their cult-favorite black tea with salted cheese foam and tapioca—a salty-sweet combination that keeps people coming back. The friendly staff moves quickly despite the tight but charming location, and while pricing skews premium, the quality of their signature drinks and chocolate waffles justifies the splurge for milk tea enthusiasts in the area. Fair warning: they're generous with sweetness, so don't hesitate to adjust the sugar level to your taste.”

The chocolate waffle is so delicious!
I spent $8 for 7 oz milk and sugar. For $8 I could have gone to the dollar store or grocery store and bought 1 gallon of milk, 1 case of black tea, a bag of brown sugar, a bag of tapioca pearls and make 13+ drinks. I can only blame myself for these dumb impulsive purchases.
Great drinks, friendly staff and quick service. Location was interesting but manageable.
Should have ordered 70 sugar because mine was a bit too sweet. I went for their signature taro milk. Quick service and friendly staffs.
The best milk tea around!! If you're downtown, and you enjoy tea, milk, or sweet & salty drinks (my favorite is the black tea with salted cheese and tapioca bubbles), you really need to stop here. The usual staff, two 20-something year old Asian guys with dark hair, are super friendly and incredibly quick, and can bust a line of 15 people in under 10 minutes! Not to mention They're very well versed on allergen information, which is a wonderful thing. They're really an asset to their location.
