Bubble Waffles
"The waffle was nice and airy. As soon as I read there was an Ube one I was sold. The cream cheese dipping sauce was set and buttery. It paired perfectly with the waffle. Everything went well together, complimenting one another's flavors."
Mango Green Tea with Mango Jellies
"I got the mango green tea with mango jellies. I was very pleased with it. It was just the right amount of sweet for me, though I could see people saying it's not set enough. The green tea was a great part of the drink, keeping it light. The mango jellies were great too, also not too sweet and just the right density."
Strawberry Shortcake Drink
"First time trying Happy Lemon! Found it to be really tasty. They had a lot of interesting flavors including those local to Hawaii but I decided for the strawberry shortcake! Delicious!"
