About

The signature salted cheese foam transforms fruity teas into something craveable and distinct, with fresh lemon drinks and Japanese cheesecake on the side.

Happy Lemon is a vibrant bubble tea destination located in Birmingham’s Chinatown, steps from the Hippodrome. The venue specialises in freshly handmade Taiwanese bubble tea with a distinctive focus on their signature rock salted cheese foam topping, which customers rave about for its creamy, salty contrast to fruity teas. The compact space maintains a lively yet cosy atmosphere perfect for quick stops or lingering over a drink.

Beyond classic milk teas, the menu features adventurous options including salted cheese drinks, fresh lemon squeezed teas, yakult flavours, matcha preparations, and signature blends like Grape Tea with Salted Cheese and Strawberry Green Tea with Salted Cheese Foam. The venue also offers bubble waffles and original Japanese cheesecake to complement the drinks.

Customisation is core to the experience: choose your sweetness level, ice preference, and toppings (tapioca pearls, puff cream, salted cheese cap) to build your perfect drink. Takeaway available via Hungry Panda delivery.

So apparently this is supposed to be a taro milk tea? I ordered a taro milk tea with boba and received a completely different drink. It tasted nothing like taro and didn’t even have the typical purple taro color. I ended up paying for a drink I didn’t order. To make matters worse, I noticed an ant on the countertop, which raised concerns about the cleanliness of the store. Between the incorrect order and the cleanliness issue, this was a very disappointing experience. I won’t be returning.

Yummy waffles. Massive waffles (ideal to share) and amazing drinks. The shop gets really busy specially at night time, but the staff is fast, organized and polite. I couldn't ask for better. Deffo worth trying when in town !
