Happy Lemon Jamaica Plain

Happy Lemon on Washington Street is a bubble tea stop with a dessert menu close behind it. Milk teas, fruit teas and smoothies share the drinks list, with combinations such as mango and matcha or passion fruit jasmine tea with lychee jelly. Bubble waffles give you something to eat with your drink, including an Oreo version.

The Jamaica Plain shop belongs to the Happy Lemon chain, known for tea topped with a lightly salty cheese foam. That topping is worth trying if you like a sweet drink with a little contrast, while the fruit teas offer a different starting point. Come for an afternoon drink, or pair a waffle with a smoothie when you want something closer to dessert than coffee.
