Happy Lemon, a beloved international bubble tea chain, recently opened its newest location in Belmont, drawing both kids and adults eager to enjoy their signature drinks.
Located in Belmont Village, the store opened on February 22, offering a variety of refreshing bubble tea drinks, slushies, smoothies, and more, including the increasingly popular cheese foam drinks topped with sweet whipped cream.
To celebrate the grand opening, the Belmont community was treated to a special “buy one, get one free” promotion, which led to an overwhelming turnout. Despite the initial rush, the location continues to attract a steady flow of customers.
Founded in 2006 by the Yummy-Town Group, Happy Lemon introduced Taiwanese bubble tea to Hong Kong before expanding globally. Today, the chain operates around 1,000 locations worldwide, including over 100 stores in the U.S.
The rise of bubble tea has coincided with a growing appreciation for Asian culture in the U.S., with social media playing a significant role in spreading the beverage’s popularity. As the global bubble tea market continues to grow, Happy Lemon’s success highlights the shift toward more diverse and adventurous beverage options, especially among younger generations.
With its opening in Belmont, Happy Lemon not only brings boba to the Bay Area but also celebrates the rich cultural heritage behind the drink, solidifying its place as a staple of the modern American beverage scene.
