Crema's Take

Tucked away in Winooski, this cheerful café lives up to its name with consistently excellent lattes and creative breakfast options that keep folks coming back, all without the overwhelming crowds you'd find at trendier spots. The friendly vibe attracts a welcoming mix of regulars and passersby who linger over quality espresso drinks, work on laptops, and genuinely enjoy the chill atmosphere—it's the kind of place where the coffee is legitimately top-notch and the whole experience feels unhurried and genuinely warm.

Nice selection of cafe drinks and breakfast menu was creative. I enjoyed everything I ordered and thought the atmosphere was cheerful and fun (the name fits!) Lots of outlets and wifi for working, and cute assortment of books, board games and a few little kids activities which I always appreciate. Will be back!

Friendly staff. Fun mix of regulars and people stopping in. Coffee drinks are top notch and and plenty of good food options. Nice that you don't often have to fight through a crowd to find a place sit. Not cramped or overly loud.

I love this place! Lattes are good, breakfast sandwich is yum (also good), and the vibe is so chill. I wish my girlfriend and I were pregnant, we'd name them "Happy" after our favorite cafe!

The Happy Place Cafe is the sister brand to the Vermont Comedy Club and I was very impressed with both their coffee and their food. I ordered a chicken panini that had mozzarella pickled red onions and a red pepper aioli. Everything was well balanced both flavor wise and structurally. The side options were fries, sweet potato fries, chips or salad. Fries were perfectly salted, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The ambiance is relaxing but not stuffy and filled with laptops like most coffee shops. It’s a great place to hang out and I couldn’t recommend it more.
