I had the Biscuit Benedict. It came with a side of home fries (cubed potatoes) that were cooked to perfection, lightly golden brown. They had some onion and pepper pieces mixed in, but they were a little on the salty side. The eggs were perfectly poached, covered with plenty of Hollandaise sauce. The ham was in 2 or 3 layers, very thin, and was a little hard to cut with just a fork, sitting on the biscuit. I should've use a knife. Service was fast and friendly, and the food was brought to our table by the window after a very short time. The place was pretty empty, and this was on a Sunday at 12:30. Where WAS everybody? This cafe is almost comparable to Granny D's at Canyon Lake, but without the 45-minute drive. Prices are lower, too! We will definitely be back! Brunch for 4? $52.

On the surface this place seemed nice and welcoming. It definitely has a local diner feel to it, which I appreciate! The staff also seemed nice.But the food was the real weak point. My wife and I both got breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The coffee tasted burnt and old. The sandwiches were pretty simple and lacked much complexity. I found a hair in my sandwich and that pretty much sealed the deal for me. The breakfast potatoes were definitely the highlight for me. The store itself was a little disheveled and the floors were super sticky. Not the worst breakfast ever but I've made better at home.

AH. WANTED TO LOVE IT, DIDN'T END UP EVEN LIKING IT. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE THOUGH!Service: 4/5 It looked like a one man show- I can appreciate that. The man who I assume could be the owner, was a server, cashier, and the cleaning crew. Haha. He looked a bit serious but he was very kind. Food: 2/5I hate to admit it, but just like some of the lower reviews said- the food was so bland. I mean, not a taste of seasoning. I ordered a chicken fried biscuit with gravy, and it came with potatoes. My sister ordered a bacon croissant. I'll start off with mine. They did give me a rather large hunk of chicken; the batter slid right off and the chicken itself was tasteless, I do mean absolutely tasteless :( The biscuit was so dry, and crumbly. Possibly day old? Not sure. I slapped some of their homemade jam (Now that jam was wonderful! ) however they don't give too much of anything (butter, gravy, jam) so I do feel the sandwich would be better if it was maybe made smaller? I'm not sure. It was just a huge biscuit with nothing to slather it with. The gravy portion is really not fair, lol. Since the biscuit was super dry and again SUPER bland, I do feel they should make the gravy a bigger portion. My sister said her bacon croissant "was nothing special. I could've made it at home." I also want to throw out there that their drinks also need some help. I ordered a strawberry lemonade, my sister did a "freshly brewed tea" ah. The tea was bitter as heck and the lemonade tasted like it was pure strawberry syrup. :( Price: 2/5 I spent $30.00 on two plates, that Indeed we could've just made at home for 1/3 of the price. I know food is at an all time high right now, but this meal was not worth my hard earned money. We couldn't find one thing we actually enjoyed about it. Overall: 1/5.I hate to be honest because I really want to see small shops thrive; whenever I go to a restaurant I ask myself "Would you come back?" And the answer for Happy Cafe is absolutely not. The food, the atmosphere, the drinks, everything was just not for us. The restaurant itself needs some deep cleaning, an upgraded menu, and maybe some new tables (ours were peeling and super sticky) however, if I'm being honest I can get past that- but I simply will not return due to the food. As some of the others said, I don't know how this place is so highly rated (love that for them) but it just wasn't for me and my family, maybe it will be for yours.

It's not bad. It's typical diner fare, located in a strip center.I'll go back, but I will try something different.Both dishes were overwhelmingly salty, and the salt overpowered the flavors of each entrée.The biscuit served with the eggs bene was dry, and the ham on my eggs benedict tasted like cheap lunch meat, which was really underwhelming for a dish like this. While the eggs themselves were cooked well, I couldn't help but wonder, where was the Hollandaise sauce? The key part of the dish was missing.The pulled pork biscuit was tasty, but again - it was overly salty.

Today, we took a break for lunch at the Happy Day Cafe. My sister ordered the Cobb salad, which was massive! I opted for the patty melt along with some fried green tomatoes. The fried green tomatoes were absolutely amazing, but the patty melt was just okay. The prices are a bit high for those of us on a tight budget, but I'd definitely come back if someone else is picking up the bill!

Big portions! And good prices!Biscuits are a must. Super fresh & truly perfect.The Biscuit with Ham (I added bacon too) was very filling. I could decide between Ham and Bacon, so so got both. I personally would get just the Biscuit with Bacon next time, because I liked the Bacon more than the Ham, although no complaints!Biggie Biscuits with Sausage Gravy, one word HUGE, or should I say Biggie? Either way you get a lot. Delicious as well.French Toast with Orange Cranberry Cream, I would 100% get this again. Or try to remake this somehow at home, it was my favorite meal I tried from here! All meals we got were served with Potatoes, and they were good! Seasoned well, and with a variety of soft and crispy pieces.I believe this is a family business, the restaurant kinda gives a small hometown feel. Service was good, you go to the counter and order, seat yourself, and are served at your table. If you need a refill of water, you might have to go up and ask for it, or get it yourself. I'm not sure of the process since it was my first time there.Overall, I personally would go back. The French toast with Orange Cranberry Cream, and an order of Biscuits, will be my next meal from here!

This quiet, but still busy local joint. Its decor reminds me of a small town diner. The menu was huge and it's served all day. My friend had the croissant breakfast sandwich with bacon. I had the breakfast sandwich with sausage (I asked the gentleman taking our order). The potatoes were seasoned with peppers and onions. And the biscuit was amazing. 9.9 out of 10.

On a scale from 1-10 overall I'd give it a 9. Searing is limited, so get a table before you order! Food was good, fresh & hot. Coffee was good. Flavored creamers a plus!

First time at restaurant. We went Tuesday about 2:00pm (they close at 3:00pm). They are opened for breakfast and lunch, entire menu is served all the time. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman as we entered. We viewed the menu, though I knew what I wanted before hand as I had checked out the website. I had the Fried green tomato sandwich and my Mom had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich. We ordered onion rings to share and a peach lemonade and a blueberry lemonade. We chatted with the cashier as we waited for our food. When it arrived we cut the sandwiches in half so we could share. Took my first bite of the FGT sandwich and it was amazing! The bacon was crispy and the spinach a nice fresh touch. The BBQ sandwich was also very good. My Mom kept saying she was surprised that there weren't more people here. We were the only ones there (there had been a couple there when we entered and three people came as we were leaving). The drinks were lovely and I thought the breading on the onion rings was a bit heavy. The place was quaint and cute. Would definitely go again! Bonus they are basically a straight shot to IKEA so fun shopping after a very delicious meal.
