"I'm excited that Happy Lemon, the Chinese boba company known for its salted cheese drinks and super-cute branding, will soon open a location at 169 North Plano Road in Richardson. The chain serves bubble teas, ultra-fruity smoothies and slushes, and bubble waffles, and is teasing its Texas launch on Instagram and Facebook; an opening date for the Richardson cafe has not yet been announced. Founded in China in 2006, the massive franchise now has more than 1,500 locations worldwide (including Taiwan, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, Canada and parts of the United States), and it's known for a wide variety of ultra-fruity drinks in flavors like citrus, melon and berry. In addition to boba, Happy Lemon sells smoothies and fruity slushes in flavors like mango lemon, cheese teas finished with a thick cheesecake-like topping that can be sweet or salted, and bubble waffles in flavors like matcha and Oreo cookie; other Texas locations are slated for Houston, Austin and San Antonio." - Brittanie Shey
