Happy Goat Coffee Co. (Gemini)

Happy Goat Coffee Co. 2140 Baseline Rd, Ottawa Visited: May 6, 2025 | Time: 9:00 AM Rating: 4/5 Drink Ordered: Cappuccino with lactose-free milk ($4.75 CAD) ⸻ First Impressions Of all the Happy Goat locations in Ottawa, this one stands out as the most impressive. Tucked inside a condominium complex yet fully open to the public, it features a bright, modern interior with a subtle touch of luxury. Service was fast, efficient, and no-nonsense — ideal for a quick morning coffee or a focused work session. ⸻ Coffee Quality I ordered a cappuccino with lactose-free milk. • Espresso: Bold and full-bodied • Milk Texture: Smooth and well-steamed • Beans: Classic Happy Goat roast The espresso slightly overpowered the milk, resulting in a stronger cup than a traditional cappuccino. That said, the flavor was excellent, and the foam had a light, meringue-like texture. A great option for those who enjoy a more intense coffee experience. ⸻ Ambience & Amenities • Wi-Fi: Available • Outlets: Yes • Seating: Plenty, with a layout reminiscent of a co-working space. Desk-style tables, soft couches, and quiet corners offer a variety of seating options. • Crowd: Quiet, calm, and conducive to productivity This location is particularly well-suited for remote work, studying, or professional meetings. ⸻ Overall This is easily the most well-designed and inviting Happy Goat café I’ve visited. With strong coffee served in stylish cups and a thoughtful layout perfect for working or relaxing, it’s well worth a visit

Super good quality, very comfy. Peak relaxation. Best café I been to. Perfect atmosphere! I usually dislike sandwiches but this was very very good, never would’ve guessed it’s not a high-end restaurants sandwich. I also like the latte style a lot. The main focus is flavour. I work at a different coffee shop & we put emphasis on latte art, which is more stressful for workers and takes focus away from the taste. Even without the latte art , this latte looks cuter in a way, more simple and fluffy. Less intense. Not ridiculously busy either, you can catch a well needed break. Would love to study here if I lived near. Really sweet place to catch up with loved ones. Probably now my go to café location. I’ve been at the one in Rideau but this location is best package. The service could’ve been a bit more up beat and more clear. But, it’s more of a relaxed vibe this way in a sense :) None the less, I liked the slow easy pace of the customer service at Happy Goat :) More authentic in a way. Thank you. So used to my café, I really wanted to give praise to one really done right.

Really neat interior, lots of vegan and dairy free options. Sandwiches and wraps are great prices. Felt like I was in a commons area (I'm a good way) and felt very welcoming.

An open and airy space, we'll organized for small talks. Tables are rather small for any work space, but more than enough for drinks and a snack. The large windows allow a lot of light in. Food is order and pickup from the desk. Chairs quite comfortable.

Dood espresso. It's a bit darker roast than I like but great chocolaty taste with smooth finish.

Nepean is in real need of decent, comfortable cafes. Cant wait to visit. Looks like a real nice open concept in pics here. Five stars for my hopes alone!

The staff are super nice and welcoming and the drinks are amazing like every happy goat cafe. The atmosphere is perfect for working/studying and work/friends meetings as there are plenty of space/seats and it's very clean. Also there is free parking available. Highly recommend this place.

Friendly staff, amazing coffee, & spacious seating options. Parking at Gemini tower lot; Time limited but ample enough time for a coffee pit stop or casual get-together.
