I had the pleasure of visiting Happy Coffee and Wine, and I can’t recommend it enough! The coffee here is absolutely fantastic—rich, smooth, and brewed to perfection. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic espresso or something a little more unique, they’ve got something for every taste. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Their warm, personable service really adds to the overall experience. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, with just the right amount of ambiance for either a relaxed morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. It’s the kind of place you can easily spend hours in, whether working, chatting with friends, or simply enjoying a quiet moment to yourself.

I absolutely LOVE this gem of a place. I'd come just to read the menu descriptions. The snacks are delightful and the curation of wines and ciders is top tier. Likely to go over your head if you don't know your stuff - making it a place to experience something real, real good in a world of otherwise mundane menus. I brought my boss in yesterday and it's our new go to spot. Thanks, Happy.

I really liked this place! Great natural wine options - and a pretty patio. Service could be better though, and I'd have preferred a good conversation around the wines. But definitely a good place with great promise!

One of my go-to coffee shops! Good food, good coffee and good vibes 😌 I love that they have a covered, heated patio as well. They have a great variety of wines and beers!

Nice small selection of wines by the glass. Very friendly staff. Quality of food was up there and presentation was quite a surprise on this tuna sashimi twist. They have a patio out back but I chose inside. I wanted to enjoy an early evening app and wine while finishing work on my laptop before heading out to dinner. The seats inside/ambiance needs a little more sprucing especially when patio season ends. Place has a lot of potential and hopefully will be a nice tête-à-tête hub for King West locals.

Lovely patio! Very nice light, design, plants, and quiet. Me and my friend stayed here for a while enjoying our drinks and the privacy of the space. We were allowed to enter with my emotional support dog, which makes the space safe and friendly. Would totally come back. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk (one of the best matchas I’ve tried) and my friend ordered a Pink Ting.

This place was absolutely gorgeous and so so tasty! Plates I got were definitely on the smaller side but perfect for sharing and allows you to try different menu items. They have a beautiful covered back patio and their interior is beautifully designed. Reminds me of minimalistic Japanese style. Got the shrimp burger, octopus and sardines (so much tasty seafood). Wines by the bottle are a little pricey but you can always opt for a glass if it’s out of your price range! 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

I stopped into this minimalist & bright space the other day for a latte and a cookie. Such an awesome atmosphere here. The staff are incredibly friendly and kind, you can tell they love what they do and are proud of their space. Lots of seating & natural light, this place really stands apart from other Toronto cafes. I’ll be back soon for a wine night!! 🍷

I enjoyed drip coffee comes with a coffee server, which tastes rich and fruity. This quiet and peaceful atmosphere is perfect for spending me time. If you want drip coffee, a coffee server will serve it to you. If you ask for large, it will fill up 2 cups of server memory. Some people may not like the strong fruity sourness, but I find it delicious in the recent rainy and gloomy weather in Toronto. Its a quiet cafe, so its recommended for spending some time by yourself.

I just had wine beer... NO.. not okay with that... I would just walk to the LCBO, but I had grabbed a couple bottles after work in a pinch and it was great. There were 2 girls, that didnt get anything before me. She didnt ask or tell me any info about the wine I eventually picked out... I admit I didnt ask for help, because she was helping people... but fizzy wine? Not porseccos, not anything identifiable. I was just trying to sort it out. On sale... $80 later,, on sale. A fizzy red a gross white... shoyod have asked for red my bad. But not one person asked if I needed help, nor did you offer.. I like in Parkdale, so Im. Not sure why youd treat me less than. But save a trip and just go to the LCBO. Unless fizzy red wine and stank tasting white is your jam.

I think Happy Coffee and Wine may be the best spot the citys got for great coffee, food, and other beverages. Its a great place to catch up with friends, or enjoy on your own! The owners and staff are extremely helpful and friendly Ive always had a very welcoming and positive experience. The patio is absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to visit again once summer finally comes.

December 23, 2023

Checked this place out. Honestly its just another (probably yuppie owned) hipster coffee place gentrifying a historically black and brown/immigrant neighbourhood. Nothing new. Baristas attitudes are condescending and they are suspicious towards anyone who isnt white or dressed like theyre straight out of an aime leon dore catalog.

Dropped by for a drink with my friend. Place was cozy and has a nice selection of wine. We tried the roasted eggplant with whipped feta, crispy chickpea, chili oil & dill and the house focaccia. Also got their best seller - Traynor Vineyard Ophelia Piquette - to take home. Truly enjoyed everything! Awesome spot to chill for a drink. Check them out.

I dont drink alcohol anymore so the wine aspect is irrelevant to me. I often go here after coming down from acid trips for their matcha lattes and the ambience just to relax a bit. Ive also tried their fresh donuts and muffins. Its a great way to come down after tripping balls for 9 hours. Its a bit on the pricey side compared to the Abbott but their selection of drinks seems larger and theres more of a sit down area. There old school 1980s style landline phone on the wall. Why is that relevant? Its not. Like I said earlier I usually go here after tripping. The small irrelevant details add a lot to the experience. I dont know a God damn thing about coffee.

Update: I recently tried the shrimpy burger from their food menu and was BLOWN AWAY!! It was so incredibly delicious and perfectly spicy. Staff still friendly and they have now opened a beautiful, cozy, covered patio for dining service. Love this place! Who wouldnt be Happy, with some coffee and wine supplied by a friendly neighbourhood shop?! When pandemic first hit, I was bent on supporting local and bought some fancy coffee from these guys to experiment with (it was delicious). As bottle shops (thankfully! FINALLY!) became a thing, I bought some lovely wines from Happy over the summer as well. More recently, I went down the fancy home coffee brewing rabbit hole and ended up with a billion questions. Happy did not disappoint. While they ended up not having the equipment I wanted in stock, co-owner Ed spent a chunk of time one evening when it was quiet and no one else was in the shop, fielding all my newbie questions, imparting knowledge, opinions and advice, and just generally just being kind, patient, honest, and totally non-condescending in dealing with all my wacky queries. I will continue to support these guys. Stop in for coffee, snacks, takeout sammies or lovely wine and support this awesome shop!

Happy, Coffee, & Wine is a sublime restaurant/coffeeshop/bottle shop with your go to coffee options, an extensive yet intentionally curated selection of wine, and a delicious menu of snacks and other specialty seasonal drinks. Don t sleep on the octopus and avocado or Shrimpy burger! :O HAPPYs shop and patio out back are both really inviting and wabi sabi is the vibe. To top it all off, the shop is helmed by three welcoming friends Sam, Madeleine, and Edward. Entrepreneurship, friendship, AND good food and drink?? Love to see it!

We found the person working there unapproachable and vaguely condescending, and we left feeling like we were dumb for asking questions about wine. At any other place that sells natural wine (Grape Glass, Midfield, Botl Shop, Grape Crush), the staff are always willing to have a great conversation about the wine where you leave having learned something new and excited about the wine you got. Our experience just didnt feel great. Maybe well give it another go and hope for a different outcome, but for now, well just sadly sip our natural wine.

One of my favourite shops to hit up on the weekends! Please do yourself a favour and give them a visit. Highlights: - Luna coffee (!!!!) on drip: best drip coffee I ve ever had. - Food is DELICIOUS! Love the shrimpy burger and the bulgogi burger. I think about the shrimpy burger all the time. Other dishes also did not disappoint. - If you don t have time to sit down to enjoy their foods/coffee/wines inside of their *cute covered patio*, they also sell Breadhead pastries (bagel bombs!!!) though my personal fav is their house made raisin bran muffin! Lightly crisp on the outside and extremely moist inside, sooooo good. - Huge selection of wines to bring home at decent prices. Service is also great! Now stop reading and go!

Shrimpy Burger comes down from heaven. The buns are toasted on the 380° Fahrenheit heart of God herself and then frozen still, in eternity, awoken with a whisper, warm and ready for your order. The lettuce is a perfect stack of 12 leafs, crisp and fresh like the mists of the Euphrates. The Shrimpy Patty itself is fried golden crisp in the marrow of many fascists, and tastes like sweet sweet intersectionality and comradery. The sauce is made from the milk of human kindness and mayonnaise. Despite the obvious short term gratification, Shrimpy s mars is in Capricorn, and will bring you sustenance in the long term.
