The bacon breakfast sandwich just hit the spot, small in size but big in flavour. The iced matcha latte didn’t quite do it for me. But overall a nice spot for that quiet solo work sessions 👩‍💻

The staff here are wonderful and the coffee is great, but there seems to be a problem with management/owners not having enough staff on at any given time. The baristas are very clearly moving as fast as they can, but when there’s only 2 people working to make drinks and food for 30+ people in store it inevitably gets bogged down. This doesn’t seem to be an issue at other happy goats, but it’s a real bummer because otherwise everything about this spot is lovely and it’s such a convenient location!

We enjoyed this wonderful coffee shop! The coffee was so delicious along with the ginger cookie. The mocha and donut were soo delicious and scrumptious. We wanted seconds. It was a calm atmosphere and friendly atmosphere. There is also outdoor seating. Definitely be coming back.

Cute little cafe, great coffee. I always get a latte and it's always good. The inside is usually pretty full when I've been and it's a bit dark inside but has a unique atmosphere since it's in an old industrial kind of building. They also have a few outdoor tables which is nice. I've always walked or biked here but there is street parking and a small parking lot too.

I come here every morning and the staff are lovely, but they are so overworked! They seem so slammed all the time as there are only two working in the morning, which ends up slowing things down, and results in my order being messed up a lot of the time. Because they are so busy I don’t say anything because I don’t want to overwhelm them even more! This isn’t a worker issue at all, they are amazing, I just think they need another person on. Hopefully this location can get another person to work mornings so the two employees can have the space to breathe :)

Walking into Happy Goat on Laurel is like stepping into a little pocket of joy. The moment you enter, you’re greeted with warm smiles and the kind of genuine customer service that makes you feel like you’ve been missed, even if it’s your first visit. There’s this cozy calmness that washes over you — like the stress of the day just decides it’s not invited inside. The coffee? Always on point. But honestly, it’s the atmosphere and the people that keep me coming back. It’s one of those rare spots that feels like more than a café — it feels like a happy place (and now I fully get the name “Happy Goat”). If I could spazz out with pure baby goat level excitement every time I walked through the door, I totally would — because that’s how good it feels here. 🍼☕️🐐💛

Love love love this happy goat! Such a cute atmosphere, industrial but very homey. The drinks are amazing and reasonably priced - and the pasteries never disappoint. The lovely barista Payton along with her coworkers are always so smiley and attentive, really makes this place something special :)

I’ve been visiting this cafe for few weeks now and it’s a hidden gem (or I wasn’t so aware of 😅) The staffs here are friendly, and the cafe is spacious. The drink and desserts are tasty, and it’s a chill aesthetic place to study/visit. They also have a piano at the back you can play!
