Happy Bean Coffee Shop

A busy little coffee shop located in downtown Mount Vernon, Ohio. Happy Bean is a bright and joyful place to study, have a meeting, or just hangout with friends enjoying a coffee, tea or pastry, though it's important to note that they don't serve food other than light pastries. One unique thing about Happy Bean that is sure to catch your eye is every hot drink is served with an encouraging message written on the side of your cup, and after talking with several patrons it seems that each little message was somehow a piece of sunshine to whatever day they were having. Good or bad. Happy Bean is located inside Mount Vernon Nazarene University's, Hunter Hall building, on the first floor just as you walk into the building from Main Street. The atmosphere of Happy Bean is different from what we've experienced in other coffee shops, apart from the bustling and sometimes noisy background, there seemed to be a sense of community among the patrons, partially due to several of them being students at the same University; however we also gathered that pastors from local churches and business owners frequent the shop and are inviting and fun to talk with! The staff likewise mirror these attitudes; they helped us fumble our way through the menu, and also told us what their personal favorite drinks are. Overall we rank Happy Bean 4 out of 5 stars. It's clean and fun, and definitely a good choice for an afterwork meeting with a friend or even a cute, relaxing date with your loved one. We recommend their Mocha and the Berry Jam tea with Lemonade. :) Food ⭐⭐⭐ Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Atmosphere ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cleanliness ⭐⭐⭐ Cost ⭐⭐⭐

I really enjoyed the (hot) Blackberry Latte. My wife got the (hot) Chai Tea Latte and she really enjoyed it too. The atmosphere was cozy. The smells were great. The service was helpful and fast. It was my first time but I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. I didn't try other coffee places but I would recommend this one all the same.
