Flavor: OG Milk Tea with Puff Cream Large (normal ice & sugar)
Price: Php 104
My thoughs: Ordered this via Grab Food App. It's simply a happy lemon's signature milk tea but what makes it special is the toppings which is puff cream. This my first time trying this add ons ( yah know imma rock salt cheese baby 😂). The cream is not that thick compared to the rsc and oc&c toppings but it makes the drink creamy pa rin. It has a hint of vanilla flavor which enhanced the flavor of the drink. Overall I did like it 👍 I think that's it 😁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I always drop by here to buy Power Puff Pearl before going to work. I love the puff cream and the pearls. I also love their RSC series and their Roasted Milk Tea too. Had also tried their Chocolate Bubble Waffle and it was sweet. I think it is better to complement that with one of their Coffee series. They had renovated their store recently. They had allotted some space for tables and chairs for people to dine in if they wanted to. Be sure to be early as there is always a long queue at the counter.
Cocoa with rock salt and cheese is my go-to. I have tried some drinks but I think I would stop trying more in this store since I am in love with Cocoa RSC. AC is not string enough for summer and the crowd that it attracts.
The best brown sugar milk tea for me. Their sago is soft and slightly chewy. Every sip is just so satisfying. Brown sugar taste like the one use in taho. Hindi nakakasawa. 😀
I always order their Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese, which is basically a chocolate drink with foamy cheese on top. An alternative to milk tea, it's both a great drink and a great dessert :)
With the piggery in full attendance, it was a foregone conclusion that it was going to be a food-crawl-Saturday-night.
We were not even finish eating our mains in Ooma, and the piggery were already planning where to have their dessert
."Milk Tea" was a unanimous choice...
I tried for the first time their milk tea without rock salt cheese on it using GrabFood. And it's goood but there's a loooooooot of ice. I should have asked for less ice so it's my fault. I really enjoyed the drink :)
I love how the new concept of the store looks like. It's more inviting with more seats inside. Long qeue as usual but bearable. They're too busy on a weekend evening.
I love any drink with rock salt and cream cheese. My oerconall favorite is milk tea with rock salt and cheese. The trick is to not get a lid so you can have a sip of the foam with the milk. Whoever thought of this idea was a culinary genius. I think it's one of the most underrated milk teas out there.
My new favorite milktea! Taro milktea is a must try! Super sweeeeet! Mix of brown syrup and pearl and milktea! Would love to try other flavors too! I believe the price here is comparably cheaper than other milktea in town. Will definitely gooo back. 😊

Ambience:
Dine-in space is very tight and there is a big chance you might go for take-out especially on weekends. If you're lucky enough to dine in, I suggest you avoid sitting at the corner near the window because it's freezing glaciers over there. Length of the line was super long since the time we've entered until we left. Talk about a busy branch!
Power Puff Pearl Milk Tea:
This is the second time I've ordered this beverage and it was very delicious, having a sweetness I found just right at 100% sugar level. Amount of pearls was pretty generous since I still had some until the last sip, but the Puff Cream ran out rather quickly. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the placement of the straw but I remember having so much of it during my first try.
Service:
It took awhile for some drinks to be distributed because a small group before us left the branch, and their names were being called for more than a minute. I realized that, as customers, doing such can possibly hinder workflow so I'll keep that in mind. :) Service was good!

It’s good that the branch was newly renovated. Before, the air-conditioning was not working and the temperature inside was hotter than outside. Being a tea person, I’d opt for milk tea in places like this but I’d prefer chocolate drinks here. If you love 0% on sugar like me, don’t make the same mistake to request that on their Lemon Special Cooler. Sobrang asim talaga napapapikit ako. The normal level sugar is there for a reason.
Just along High Street. Limited number of seats but not crowded since drinks are to go. Place is well ventilated.
Tried their milk tea with rock salt and cheese (25% sugar level) with pearls and QQ jelly for bites. Balanced saltiness and sweetness. Love it.
Whenever I miss their cocoa with rock salt and cheese, I head to Happy Lemon. This was my favorite go-to drink a few years back and whenever I pass by, I can’t help myself and get one glass. Remember to ask the servers to not cover the top with plastic. Drink it straight from the cup and not thru a straw. This drink is very sinful yet addicting. It also comes in green tea and coffee variety.
WOW. I didn't expect their milktea to be good. I ordered RS&C Milk Tea, and it was goooooddd. I cannot get enough of the RS&C!!! I'm craving this mt every week. Thank God for this!
Happy Lemon is a go - to tea shop.
It was a long day for me. I decided to go to this tea shop at BGC.
Small but comfy place since there are only limited seats to dine in. Around 10 to 15 seats available.
I tried Milk Tea Smoothie, 70% sugar level. For me, it was perfect! The coldness of my drink wake me up for the day. Worth my money. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
You should also try this!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thumbs up for my number one or should I say top one milk tea!! Milktea is becoming mainstream nowadays and it's because it really is better than a regular latte or soda for me. I would like to give this recognition to @happylemon_ph for giving me a great interest in matcha and milktea drink. Ohh and i almost forgot, Rock salt and cheese is the best!!! Try and see for yourself!
Ordered original milk tea with 50% sugar. It was really good! l hope the place has more seats to accommodate more customers. The staffs were good and drinks were served fast.
I love their pearl milk tea. Amongst all the milktea place here in manila, the best milktea goes to happy lemon. It has the right balance of tea and milk. Their cup is smaller than their competitors though and for the pearl, chatime and tokyo bubble tea has better pearls than happy lemon. For the sea salt cream, happy lemon is the undoubtedly winner. Overall happy lemon is one of the two best milk tea place in manila.
Stopped by to get a drink while walking down the High Street. There were a few people ordering and only one person working the counter so it took a while to order. But once I ordered it didn't take too long for the drink to be made. I tried the taro milk tea with cheese and it was quite interesting. Salty and sweet so the flavour was a bit different.
Back in 2010 when I first tried HAPPY LEMON @ Eastwood, it was LOVE at first sip😍❤ And until now they never disappoint! The Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese (try the double cheese!) Is still yummy and tasted the same as before❤ It is one of my HAPPY pill. I never miss it everytime I comeback to Manila. From Eastwood to BGC to Megamall to Trinoma to Robinsons Magnolia taste the same and service is great. Looking forward for the Jumbo size CWRSC next. (Just recently discovered they have jumbo size 😂😂)
It was my first time to try Happy Lemon and I was not sure what to order. Well, just to be safe since i'm a matcha lover, I ordered the matcha smoothie with red beans. I love it and I will definitely try the salted cheese and Oreo next time. Can't wait!
Walking around in BGC will make you thirsty, but good thing Happy Lemon got it covered, it is also a good place to get your drinks to bring in the cinema because it is sealed and you will not worry spilling your drink, while finding your allocated chair.
Just redeem my buy one take one regular milk tea from other app. Hehe i super love milk tea. Very refreshing from very tiring day.. very affordable.

Happy Lemon would be one of my favorite places to get Milk Tea. My favorite drinks are from the Rock Salt and Cheese series. I am a big fan of their "Green tea with rock salt and cheese" drink. The Salty Cheese foam on top balances the flavor of the bittersweet green tea. Some tend to mix their drink first. I don't. I like to drink it straight as it is because I like tasting the different elements of the drink individually. I highly recommend this place if you want to drink something refreshing,satisfying and fresh.

Being a fan of milk teas, Happy Lemon is one of my top milk teas to try and a must visit around the metro.
For Happy Lemon - my all time favorite is their "Green Tea with Rock Salt and Cheese" (Less ice, Normal sugar) Their Rock salt and Cheese series are their distinct flavor offerings compared to other milk tea beverages. I liked the rock salt and cheese - foamy above my drink then a subtle green tea taste will follow.
Some would mixed it up but some would drink it as it is.
For their Smoothie Series we tried their "Lemon Yakult" flavor. Very refreshing. You can really taste yakult but not overpowering the lemon-ny taste.
For those who does not want to explore much on the flavor, a safe choice is their "Milo Dinosaur". This is a no fail choice since (I think) everyone enjoys snacking up Milo powder before actually drinking it.
Also, Happy Lemon now have a new offering - "Bubble Waffle". Initially tried the Matcha flavor - I find it really sweet and does not taste matcha at all. Just stick to their Classic flavor - good for sharing. It goes really well with hot milk tea of your choice.
PLACE - They have a small place here in BGC. They have 2 tables inside the store and 2 to 3 outside. If you are (still) playing Pokemon Go - their store can actually cover one to two pokestops nearby.
VERDICT - Whenever we are in BGC and craving for some thirst quencher, our go-to place is Happy Lemon. And yes, they are the ones with the most affordable finds in BGC.
I think this is my favorite Milk Tea place. It's just sayang cos the store is small and accommodates less than 10 people if I remember correctly.
But I still love your milk tea! Weeeeee

Aside from Infintea, Happy Lemon is also one of my fave milkteas. EVER. I usually order either Chocolate milktea classic or Cocoa with rock salt and cheese!! Delicious!
Another favorite place for milk tea. Had a staff meeting today and treated team to some awesome Milktea. I had to order my favorite and at one point last year, I was having this drink nearly everyday for 2 months... Literally everyday, it was awesome this drink, so it was awesome to again have the Roasted Milktea with Black Pearls. Like my other Milktea favorite place the pearls here are just perfect in taste and texture however just a lot smaller in size but still awesome. It's a must to have this drink anytime your at a Happy Lemon branch.
While strolling High Street, Happy Lemon is a good place to get a quick fix of cold, yummy drinks. The place is small so I hardly dine in here, but I always enjoy stopping by to get my Green Tea with Rock Salt and Cheese, with an addition of aloe bits. The price is comparatively cheaper to other milk tea brands. One thing that I would love to see improve is the quality of service. The staff could be a bit more welcoming. They serve good drinks and with the staff having a cheerful countenance, I am sure people would further enjoy getting their Happy Lemon fix.
I first had a taste of Happy Lemon milk tea at this branch in Bonifacio High Street. I was strolling along high street with my friends when we got tired and thirsty. We spotted this newly opened milk tea place so we decided to give it a try. I asked the order taker for suggestion and she recommended rock salt and cheese. It was really good and refreshing. Price is affordable. Looking forward to trying out their other flavors.
Cocoa with Rock Salt and Cheese is my favorite drink. But we went jogging once and I tried their Lemon Yakult Green Tea and was surprised that it was actually refreshing.
I'm not a big fan of milk tea but this is one of my exceptions to that rule. The Milo Dinosaur is the bomb. I always order the usual roasted milk tea with pearls, but man I missed a lot not ordering this milo dinosaur.
The only downside to this was that the air conditioning isn't that cold. I don't know if it's adjusted or its broken. Anyhow, still a high mark for a good milk tea place.
I am a Matcha addict and while I was walking home I thought it'd be fun to explore the different Matcha drinks out there and call this exciting new adventure "Matcha Want 🍵". I decided to stop at the nearest Happy Lemon place for a start and got their Matcha Dinosaur from their Milo Series. It's an iced matcha latte drink mixed and topped with milo powder, though I prefer mine unmixed and with 50% sweetness because the milo powder can overpower the taste of the matcha when you mix it right away and can make the drink a little bit too sweet for my taste buds. I wouldn't mind making the sweetness down to 25% next time though. Overall, it was a nice and refreshing drink, considering that you have to tailor it according to your own preference.
Happy lemon will always have a special place in my heart. I will always come back for my rock salt and cheese green tea ❤️ nothing beats the original!
Milk tea for me is LOVE! and Happy Lemon is one of my favorite spot whenever I went to Bonifacio Global City. This place is a place where you can chill and have refreshments in a hot weather of Manila. Their milk tea is great, all you have to do is to blend the perfect matching of how many percentage of sugar, ice, tea and milk you like plush the added pearl is perfect for an afternoon stop over. They also have a wide variety of flavors that you will surely love.
Old reliable milk tea spot in BGC. I guess I came in at the almost end of a long day because the two persons staff looked spent. Nonetheless the drinks are consistently good.

As it has been mentioned by others, this particular Happy Lemon is located conveniently smack dab on High Street providing an alternative to the chain cafes and restaurants on the same road. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a whole lot of seating so unless you're just stopping by for something to drink, don't expect to find a resting place here.
With ubiquitous 'bubble tea'/'milk tea' places everywhere in Manila these days, I have to admit that it must be the Fates who decided that I would come to Happy Lemon on a particularly warm evening, looking for a refreshing drink. Long story (well, not really but I can embellish if I choose to) short, rather than a thick and heavy milk tea or one of their other, more unique, offerings, I settled just for Passion Fruit Green Tea with Aloe. The 'normal' thing to get would be a milk tea, but those milk teas are just so heavy. The PFGT with Aloe that I had, exactly what I was looking for at that moment. Cool, refreshing, sweet, and light, I couldn't have asked for anything better (especially since we had to keep walking as there were no seats available).
As for the interior (because I know that you're all wondering what it looks like inside), if you've ever been to a Happy Lemon, then it's exactly what you think it might look like. Happy Lemon seems to pride itself in creating a bar-like service, a milk tea bar if you will. Their work space takes up a large portion of the BACK of the store which, depending on how busy it may be, can result in some unnecessary traffic. Not that I'm complaining since I only go on occasion and the times I've gone so far hasn't been too bad. Turnover is fairly quick so if Starbucks and Seattle's Best Coffee and The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (I'm assuming they're all around there somewhere) are all full and you just want a quick drink, Happy Lemon is a good alternative.
Overall, a good experience although lack of seats for customers can be quite frustrating for people just looking for somewhere to chill and hang. However, given their small space, I guess I shouldn't expect too much. And there's always the open spaces all around High Street so I shouldn't be too upset by that. So far, no complaints with service and stock (unlike a few other places I've been to). Hopefully, they maintain their reliability and quality should I find myself in the area again.
My fave "go-to" place for teas. Their teas have a clear taste and you can really say it's freshly brewed. Love also the salt and cheese version!
This is a good place to get your kind of drink in any time of the day. There are a variety of drinks available on the list that will satisfy your thirst on a hot day and keep you relaxed and chill for the night. If you wish to bring your friends, parents, or even your children (if you have), it's alright because everybody enjoys it.
I became very fond of the famous Lemon Yakult and their Cocoa Rock Salt with Cheese. I'm glad to know that new drinks come up into the menu from time to time, and it makes one very curious about them.
It is your cup of drink that is so good, that it will make you feel "Happy Everyday!"

Fancy a little drink to cool down but you're with your kids and Starbucks just doesn't cut it? Happy Lemon is a great alternative and with 15 branches all over the Philippines, you won't have to go far to find it.
The menu reminds me of ever-present tea joints seen all over Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea with choices like Lemon Honey with Seaweed Jelly or Blueberry with QQ Jelly.
There's also few unusual flavors like OREO cookie and Yakult Green Tea so I'm sure you'll find something for yourself and your kids. Happy experimenting!
