"This Hintonburg roastery exemplifies a ritual that cares about community: carefully selected beans produced by small-scale farmers from around the world roasted on-site twice weekly. And you can smell when it’s happening - those guided by the lovely aroma, off the beaten path will mix in with a steady stream of regulars. This hangout hosts shows and events and now offers local brews to keep Hintonburg happy late into the evening." - PLOTNONPLOT

It's a nice working space, a bit dark, but has good amount of outlets and good wifi. Pretty standard food experience, the milk foam on the latte started off nice but then it got very large and bubbly.

I really wanted to love this place, especially since I live next door, but the customer service has been consistently disappointing. At first, I thought it was just me, but after hearing another customer mention the same thing, I realized it’s just the norm here. I gave it multiple chances, hoping I had just caught them on a bad day, but unfortunately, the attitude remained the same—cold, dismissive, and unwelcoming. Saying “thank you” and being met with sassy looks or outright ignored is not a great experience. The younger staff seem to be the only friendly ones, but even they are picking up on the toxic work culture. It’s rare that I leave a review like this, but as a business, customer service matters. People come in to support you, and they deserve basic respect. I hope things improve because it’s a real shame to see such a great spot overshadowed by poor hospitality.

Nice, neighbourly spot for coffee and a chat. The place echoes and we had to ask that music be turned down twice so we could hear each other speak comfortably. Sorry staff, but your customers needs take precedence to grooving to the tunes! Great protein/granola bars.

This review is for Happy Goat's coffee subscription program and their espresso beans. I have been a member of their subscription program for many years and I absolutely love it! I can customize when the beans are sent depending on my usage, and the delivery is always quick (2 business days, but I also live in the country). I subscribe to the decaf espresso beans and they work beautifully in my Breville espresso machine. The taste is wonderful and they make the best lattes and cappuccinos every time. Highly recommend trying the subscription program if you love drinking Happy Goat coffee and want to support local businesses.

Love this place! I’ve popped by several times for a latte, today I grabbed a blt panini, which was delicious, and the vegan banana brownie is to die for! Staff is great 👍

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!

Friendly staff that provided awesome service. Truly the best chai latte I’ve ever had! Tried the veggie sandwich here and it’s delicious. I also enjoyed the casual atmosphere. It’s a great place to study or chat. I highly recommend this place for students!

Since I started drinking coffee from Happy Goat, I can’t have any commercial beans off the shelf anymore. We tried few brands during the pandemic, it was a waste of money. Nothing compares to freshly grounded HG coffee in the morning.
