Crema's Take
“Happy Bean nails the cozy neighborhood cafe vibe with genuinely solid espresso and an impressive vegetarian-focused menu that goes way beyond typical coffee shop pastries—the focaccia alone is worth the trip. The staff moves quickly and keeps things dog-friendly and laptop-welcoming, making it an easy spot to settle in for a few hours, though consistency seems to vary depending on who's pulling shots that day.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly. Parking available.
