Friendly, family owned coffee shop with American and Cambodian food.One of the few places to get Cambodian food around Galveston and Houston.

Fun little local coffee shop! Good coffee, good selection of food/snacks for a coffee shop too - coconut cake, pastries, breakfast burritos, fruit, pork dumplings. We came by in the morning but they have Cambodian food for lunch as well!

Love this place coffee is great. She also makes a fabulous pho but Cambodian style.

Going to miss this place. I really enjoyed it. This was a gem for The island.

You have to try this place! The owner is such a nice and accommodating person. The coffee is good, the selection is good, and Im sure the food is also. You can get breakfast tacos (theyre as big as burritos), muffins, fresh fruit, and kolaches. For lunch she offers a wide selection of Cambodian dishes that look delicious. While youre there, sit back and enjoy the music. Youll hear a little Sinatra, Sam Cook, modern classical, and other relaxing tunes. I highly recommend locals and travelers alike stop by.

This is my second time here, but the last time I was here... was a year ago. I remember feeling excited to have an additional coffee option on the island - sadly its too far away from UTMB for me to pop in for an afternoon cup of joe.So, I had the Nova Lox on the Everything bagel. The bagel was a solid 4/5. It was good, just not the best nova lox of my life. No capers :/I ordered a caramel macchiato with soy. It was also just okay. It was piping hot when she first gave it to me so I let it cool for a little bit. It was a little weak.

Stopped in to pick up some lunch today after seeing the sign for Cambodian food. The owner was very sweet and kind. She quickly prepared the pork and rice meal for me and it was AMAZING!I wish I lived in town so I could become a regular here.

I had a great experience while I was passing through Texas. I always try to support the locals. The lady owner was super sweet, I would definitely go back to this place and grab coffee again. Next time I’m going to try the food. You definitely need to go try this place and support your local Cambodian family.

Fast,friendly service with decent prices. Caramel Latte was WONDERFUL! Strawberry and blueberry smoothie was good too!

Reminds me of the coffee shop i used to go to back in north carolina. friendly, artsy, cool people and good coffee.relaxed and buzzing but never uproarious

If you havent been by to try the food and drinks here, do yourself a favor, drop everything and go now. On my last visit I tried the beef noodle soup and it was absolutely AMAZING. There is also a special ginger tea that was fantastic and for desert we tried the bread pudding with bananas and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the best I have ever had. Looking forward to trying more next time!

Cool place, owner was really sweet. They have veggie/vegan options which is cool cause in Galveston sometimes it’s hard to find that option. Only grievance was almond milk was $1.00 extra when every coffee shop I’ve been to (not Starbucks) is .75 cents max, maybe the option is just not as popular making it a lil expensive. But overall it was a good experience and I’d return again :,)

Came in for coffee and a blueberry muffin. First time to stop in and try it. Delightful hideaway place and very comfortable to sit and play a crossword and have coffee. Price was good too. Love the Jamaican music. The smoothies and food looks good. Well come back.

The food and drinks were good (I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and a hazelnut iced latte), but the woman working could have been friendlier. She wasnt rude, but I never felt welcome. I felt more like a bother than a customer. Ill probably go back because the bread used on my sandwich was a delicious, fresh baguette, but Id probably get my order to go instead of eating it there.

Visited the Happy coffee shop before getting on a cruise. My family and I enjoyed the coffee and food (egg rolls and steamed buns) so much that when we returned to port our first stop was to go back again before coming back home to Kansas. We definately will make the Happy coffee shop a must stop the next time we are in Galveston.

Good vibes from the minute you step inside this small, comfortable coffee shop. Sit at the counter and see the action and talk to the owner, or grab a table and a pastry or some soup.My coffee was excellent, strong yet not bitter.Do you know how hard that is, to get it just right?

Have gone to this coffee shop many times over the years, they have good coffee, good breakfast food, and very good interesting Cambodian food specials. However, my last two visits the woman working behind the counter has been very rude and has messed up our orders. I do not think I will be going back unless I am really wanting Cambodian food. Very disappointing development.

The red curry soup is awesome!! The food is cooked fresh & we look forward to going back!

Loved the Cambodian veggie buns! Also, the owner is very friendly. The place is nicely decorated with photos from her travels

5 stars all the way around! Cozy little place! Will definitely be back!

Good selection of Cambodian and American foods and also coffees. I love supporting local.

I have given this place two chances, because everyone has a bad day now and then; however, the food and coffee are not good enough or inexpensive enough to tolerate the owner. I’m assuming she’s the owner, because an employee would have been fired by now. I’m not sure how long this place has been open, but I am sure it would be a great deal better if she hired someone to help so that she could stay in the kitchen. She threw my bag of food and incorrect drink on the counter before hastily retreating to the kitchen. I do not recommend. Side note: she charges $1 for almond or soy milk.

I love this place! Randy is very sweet and boy her beef noodle soup is amazing! I have yet to try the other food but they are on my list! If you dont stop in, you are missing out!

Randy was a pleasure! The steamed pork bun was delicious and my husbands meat pie was amazing! The atmosphere is relaxed and the iced tea was fantastic! Thank you!

Great Cambodian dishes. I had the curry lunch special and it was very tasty. I also had a delicious fruit salad with yogurt. You should definitely try Happy Coffee Shop!

We went to this place with my husband to get some coffee after seeing it off Broadway. Weve never heard of the place before. We walked in, and had to almost shout to her in the back to get her attention. There was no other customers. Asked for cold brew coffee, and the way she told us no seemed like she was offended that we even asked at all. I got an iced latte and it was decent. I ordered a kolache too which seemed like it had been sitting for a while. We were there at noon on Sunday. My husband eats vegan and ordered a spinach bun with no cheese. She confirmed no cheese and when she brought it out.. it was full of cheese. I told him to ask her about it and when he did she said this is what you ordered, its too late to change it, and made it clear this was our fault with a rude tone. Even if its what we ordered (it clearly wasnt, as he asked for other vegan options) this food item was the worst. It mustve been soggy when she microwaved it because you could NOT pick any part of it up without getting mashed soggy bread and oily cheese (if you can consider it cheese) all over your hands. You wouldnt even have been able to eat it with a fork, and this is supposedly hand food. Her attitude was as if she didnt want us to be there, much less return. And we wont. We love supporting small business, but we cant support one that treats the customer like a nuissance.

1st time here and it waa great.. Great coffee and blueberry muffins...

Great atmosphere, perfect convenient location, and good coffee to boot. Id definitely recommend this place

Summary:sub par expensive coffee, tiny place, unwelcoming staff, tasty food, good decor.I went there with a friend and was greeted by a woman who had an emotionless expression. Their menu said to ask about coffee selections. I did so, and she acted annoyed and pointed to the thermos behind her on the counter which said French roast. She didnt say a word. I felt very u welcomed like she didnt want me there. The coffee tasted like something I can make in my Keurig. It was more expensive than MOD Coffee AND doesnt offer refills even for a discounted price. My friend got a frapp and he said it was too icy with not a lot of flavor in it. The place is also tiny. With that and the lack of refills its not a good spot to just hang out.That said, the decor inside was pleasant and the food did taste pretty good. We tried their pork buns and meat pies.Bottom Line: for coffee or hanging out its not worth it visiting. Food is good though. If you dont mind the unhappy person manning the register at the happy coffee shop

Great friendly place, highly recommended. We stop here every time were in Galveston.Randy is a terrific cook 👏

Over priced, inauthentic food, and rude service. I would not recommend.

Very nice visit for lunch, the beef soup was outstanding! Really appreciated seeing the owner, Randy, cook my meal fresh to order. Will definitely be trying other dishes.

They smoke the salmon themselves so the lox sandwich is delicious. The bread pudding is “just like Mom used to make”.....and delicious. The owner is an amazing barista & baker.

Whenever I am in Galveston I always try to stop here for lunch. Friendly and quick service, the coffee is delicious, and the red curry is absolutely amazing.

Rudest woman I encountered in a long time. She couldnt tear herself away from her laptop or her Stool! I asked how long coffee shop had been opened and she replied 6yrs. Really .... I am amazed. Who would want to wake up to her EVERY Morning! I told her obviously she was not interested in a customer and I hope her Day Gets BETTER and walked out.

This place has a super cozy atmosphere, sweet lattes, and a decent selection of baked goods.

We stopped for a smoothie, and ended up getting a snack too. Banana bread with raisins, which is my favorite, and my daughter got a blueberry muffin. Highly recommend!

The Cambodian food is a welcome break from fast food. All prepared homestyle. The desserts are homemade and delicious! The coffee is strong as it gets. Wonderful place overall!

Wonderful little coffee gathering spot. Love Rendys Italian Grinder and the pastries are so good, if I go on, Ill have to head over for a.sweet taste. Highly recommended. Enjoy!

An adorable coffee shop hidden away in Galveston. They have a great breakfast smoothie!

Ridiculous experience with poorly trained and incompetent individuals.Ordered a latte, medium hot, extra shot.there was 1 customer order ahead of me.20 minutes later.. still no latte..I watched 2 employees fumble around aimlessly trying to make 2 smoothies..One was doing something in the kitchen to prepare an order that had already been made incorrectly for someone waiting longer than I had even been in the shop.Finally get my coffee... it was made way hotter than I had asked, missing the extra shot..so, basically I had a $6.00+ cup of steaming hot coffee flavored milk.HORRIBLE and FRUSTRATINGDo NOT NOT NOT go there if you want a good coffee or any sort of customer service.

I dont think my mocha had any espresso, or chocolate or even coffee in it! It tasted like sweet warm water with some foam on top, for his measure? Blah. Never going back

Do yourself a favor and go!!!!! The Cambodian specials are literally addicting. Some of the best dishes. As far as coffee goes, I always go to happen coffee shop over Starbucks. Way better!!!!

Nice atmosphere. Great Coffee. Friendly Staff and best beef soup.

I looked on the website it stated Sundays hours were from 8:30am to 3:30pm. My kids and I walked in today at 1:37 pm the lady said very rudly Yea Im closed Im curious if your closed why does the website and fro t door have different hours & why us the front door still unlocked for business. So my family and I took our business else where. Galveston is a very small community & turning away customers isnt a very good look!!

As a Jew I love their bagels and locks, their other food is also pretty good. Service feels like shed rather not have you there but otherwise its a hidden gem.

Great coffee, good service 10/10 authenticity 👌🏼🤘🏼

Very nice lady working behind the bar.

Great coffee and Cambodian dishes. If you possess a Wal-Mart mentality, that is youre cheap and impatient...do the rest of us a favor and dont come here! If youre in a hurry call ahead and theyll take care of you. Happy Coffee is a great small business owned by people who live in and support the community of Galveston.

My chai tea tasted good but the lady who took my order and made it wasn’t very friendly. ☹️

Caramel macchiato was good but I wasnt impressed with the pad Thai. Also the lady that I guess is the owner is rude and didnt acknowledge my presence at all until after a minute or two. Im a local and I wont be back. Get better customer service!

Amazing little coffee shop. Had the breakfast croissant and a smoothie. Everything was delicious!

My wife and were sitting at one of the tables outside and some guy told us we couldnt sit in the chairs what if someone was have breathing problems or their feet swelled or they were over weight what does he what them to do sit on the ground I think the Happy Coffee shop needs a lesson in manners and respect until then they need to close down and move somewhere else I think it is wrong for them to say we cant sit down in a chair that are outside not inside which then I can understand them telling people they can cant sit down

Very comfortable atmosphere and you have to try the Beef Noodle Soup...

I wont be back, coffee wasnt made right (they tried twice), the food taste 3 days old. It was the worst experience. I dont know how it got good reviews. I was vey disappointed!! Ive just never had such bad food. I was in disbelief. Idk maybe they have something breakfast taco was yuk and the coffee too.

Great food, centrally located, and now that the road work on 51st is done, easily accessible again!

Great food and latte. Owner is very sweet.

This place is always great. Whenever were in town we make sure to stop in.

Come here all the time, great food, coffee, and service!

This place has such a great atmosphere and the nicest people that work there.

Cute little shop. Good service.

Food was delicious and fast friendly service

Nice place! Happy coffee shop was great and I love the vibe here

Great little coffee shop with lots of extras & friendly staff.

The beef noodle soup knocks it out of the park. The Kolaches are great too. Happy Coffee plays regae and is a very clean establishment with a calming environment. We had a Chai tea and were pleased.Galveston is tricky for establishments that offer quality. The food here was fresh.

Good food, all house made. Owner operated with oodles of personality.

I couldnt stop thinking about the noodle soup for weeks.

Great coffee. Meh pastries and sausage rolls.

I just really love this place. Everything about this place is good!

Best iced coffee ever with great snacks and daily specials.

I cannot speak on the coffee prices but the sandwich prices are ridiculous. 5.25 for a skimpy Chicken salad sandwich that you are still hungry after. Everything is ridiculously priced. 1.50 for a bag of small chips? 1.50 for a small homemade cookie?

Everything was good, will come back when I fish again.

Good coffee and good food . Cambodia food daily special everyday :)

Food is delicious and has that handcrafted taste/feeling. Too bad its a bit pricey

Coffee and cookies were great before getting back on the road to Houston. We will plan on trying the food next time in town.

Happy coffee shop is nice! Love the vibe here

Real good coffee shop on the island and the Cambodian food we came back for today which was awesome. Will be back again for the pad thai.

What a great find. Thanks Trip Adviser.

Great coffee shop with friendly staff and tasty drinks.

Small shop with average coffee and selection of bottled soft drinks. Try it, you might fall in love.

Came in fo try cambodian food but the owner seems kinda rude when your trying to spend money..The best thing about the food was there eggrolls..Place is clean..They need better customer service

Awesome drinks and great food, must stop if youre in Galveston! Also, very friendly staff.

Decent food but extremely slow service for a coffee shop. Also, for a place with happy in its name, the employees were obviously not.

Very good coffee the best Cambodian food in Galveston island

Great food and great coffee.

Ok food but the person working there seemed very unkind to the customers

Slow service didnt like the coffee either

The woman who works there is rude and the coffee was so hot it was two hours before it was at a drinkable temp.

Great service and food

Hidden treasure, not just coffee, sauce is the boss.

Lovely!! I like the place as well

Really good coffe!🍵

Independent coffee and light foods.

They have amazing services and dessert

The women who I think was the owner was anything but friendly. “Rude Coffee” would have been more fitting. I am a local too and will never go back.

Best coffee in Galveston. Worth running my 9km to get a coffee

Not good. Just not good.

Delicious smoothie.

Service is great.

The owner is RUDE and have No Customer Service skill at all! I am local and will not be supporting this place. First and last for sure.
