Cafe Happy

Amazing Taiwanese drinks, a really good selection of traa drinks, and pricey over time

I came here on a Sunday afternoon at around 4:30pm. There was no line and I was able to order a delicious cherry blossom themed milk tea with boba - this was a special for the U District cherry blossom festival. The cherry flavor was not overwhelming and it paired nicely with the classic milk tea.If I'm in the area I'd definitely come here again to try their other drinks.

Cafe Happy, as cliche as it sounds, makes me happy! Stopped in midday to do some work, and I was the only one in the store. The store interior is sleek and minimalistic, and I loved the pops of green from the hanging plants. The cafe also has a couple of board games available, which would be great to entertain a bigger group.I got the iced jasmine green honey tea, which came in a cute cup. I stayed for a few hours, and the cashier was super nice--I asked if they could lower the music a bit and he kindly obliged. There are also lots of outlets near the seating area. The only downside was that there was no AC.I would definitely return for good service and good ambience, and I want to try out some of the vegetarian entrees!

Came here around 11:30 pm with a friend, and there was only one person working. It was quite busy, and we ended up waiting a super long time to get our orders taken- and it also took a long time to get our drinks. However, the person who was working was extremely nice and friendly even though he was so busy taking orders and making everyone's drinks! I really appreciated him. However, since they seem to be short staffed, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone who just wants to drop by quickly. It is more of a sit-down location. The drinks were so good! I got a fruit tea and my friend got a smoothie, and both of them were really delicious. My only complaint about the drinks is that the boba was a little undercooked and also not sweetened.

Not a fan at all. I ordered a strawberry banana mango boba smoothie and it tasted like pure artificial sugar syrup and ice. I definitely tasted no banana or strawberry. The mango was the only thing I could taste, and was for sure an artificial syrup. In addition, the drink came with no boba in it. This is called a boba smoothie??? But it comes with no boba? Def the worst bubble tea drink I've ever had. It tasted like the melted contents of a snow cone from a carnival. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone who likes good bubble tea. Or at least Def not the drink mentioned above.

Very cute study spot with bobas, smoothies, and vegetarian baos for snacking on. The bao was really good. The boba pearls are on the small side and the lavender flavor wasn't very strong in my lavender tea but it wasn't bad.

I came here with a friend to study on a Sunday evening around 5:30pm! It was decently busy, and I noticed other customers were similarly getting work done (it's definitely a good space for that). While looking at the menu, I was shocked to see that a boba shop also had a happy hour with alcoholic items! I was definitely curious and would want to come back to try those. I ended up getting a honey milk tea ($7) with boba. It was so yummy, the sweetness was perfect and there was a good amount of boba with good texture. Next to the cashier was some baked goods that I really wanted to try, the bolo bao looked especially tasty! The service here was so friendly. All of my questions were answered so kindly! There's two wifi networks, but choose the one with no password :) definitely come by with some work!! Lastly I also noticed that they had a couple games on the counter (uno, jenga, incohearant) which is nice if you want a little break!

It is great to see Cafe Happy is serving hot vegan food again. Same great taste as it was in Kirkland, but at a much, much larger space with plenty of tables and chairs. Both the ma po tofu and chicken broccoli were excellent. The location is less busy than the main University Avenue area, so it is easier to find close by parking if you drive. It is of course very close to main campus of UW.Keep in mind that everything is cook to order, and is created by one person behind the counter. Be patient and you will be rewarded with the best vegan Chinese food in town. It is a great place to hang out with friends or just get a drink, some food, and study away.

Came at 1105 4-8-24 no one working. Sad I couldn't get my lavender drink. Please ensure that employees and working hours match up so I can get my lavender drink. Thanks. Had to be over 85 characters

Had delicious food! Ordered spicy club fries and soy with broccoli and both tasted amazing!
