Whether you’re craving something lemony or milky, a slushy or a smoothie, or even just a crisp waffle, Happy Lemon is sure to satisfy.

With its yellow decor and quintessential smiling lemon logo, stepping into Happy Lemon always gives me a burst of instant serotonin. The bright atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for a study break or to hang out with friends.

I often find myself walking to the intersection of Chicago Avenue and Davis Street for a refreshing boba from Happy Lemon when I’m in the mood for something sweet. You can never go wrong with the Boba Milk Tea, a classic order at any boba shop. Or go for the aptly named Fresh Lemon Series –– a flavor no business in town knows better than Happy Lemon.

Boba from Happy Lemon makes the perfect pick-me-up or thank-you offering for your friends and family. Just ask my roommate, who is a frequent beneficiary of my Happy Lemon trips.

As the name implies, any order at Happy Lemon will put a smile on your face.
