The Happiness Cafe in Centrum

Just a delight! Tasty, flavourful food, variety of options and friendly, helpful staff. So many vegan options to choose from - there are more vegan baked options than non-vegan ones which is rarely the case. With their hot drinks they give a small piece of banana cake and it is so good! I ordered the red velvet latte wit soy milk - yes please! I also had the falafel flatbread and the caprese sandwich, I would recommend both! They also have these crispy, salty broad beans they use as edible decoration on the plate and you can even buy them in a bag (which I did and there are no regrets). What a treat - they will see me again!

Lively hustle and bustle and delicious coffee!

Great place to have coffee. The menu could be a bit more diversified.

We bought some gluten-free brownies for our daughter, and they were absolutely delicious! The selection is very good, the staff is very friendly, and we highly recommend it.

The staff here is amazing, the nicest people

Great service, very good place to have a coffee on the terrace

The place is amazing , atmosphere and location are tops! It’s great that there are gluten free options for normal menu items (10 points for this )… however the service is a bit slow (but friendly ), the coffee was amazing however the GF waffles well check the picture because it tells a story.

Has become the most overpriced place in all of Eindhoven and bad service... too bad, used to come here often.

It was good and it had a good atmosphere 5/5

A very pleasant time. Good food. And a great atmosphere ^_^

Beautiful decor with friendly staff, but steep prices. The croissant advertised on the menu was cold, and my apple muffin was scalding hot. The hot tea in the water glass was impossible to touch. Overall, everything was very tasty, and the atmosphere was certainly okay.

Really nice and cozy place ! The staff was really friendly and welcoming, food was good and prices are fair.

Delicious food and friendly service, but you always have to wait a long time for your order. It was also a shame this time that the wrong order was brought twice. But again… friendly service and the food is really delicious!

Amazing place to stay with lot of opportunities for breakfast late breakfast or even lunch. Great connection of flavors and combinations.

A quick family coffee with pastries. Super friendly service. A charming place with a very aesthetic and impressive presentation.

Everything was perfect. The atmosphere was young, fresh, and dynamic. The service was fast and attentive. We ate wonderfully two days in a row. The banana bread was exceptional, and the gluten-free options were delicious.

Overpriced. Bad taste. Small space. Not worth it.

My favourite carrot cake of all time :)

I spontaneously had breakfast at the Happiness Café in Eindhoven today… what can I say, it was a real treat! 👌 Super delicious avocado hummus on bread and an acai bowl with homemade banana bread… it was simply divine! The atmosphere is cozy and the staff are incredibly friendly. You really do leave happy!

At 11 o'clock, I asked if I could study there with my laptop, and that was fine. In an hour and a half, I ordered two drinks and something to eat. At 1 pm, I was asked to close my laptop or leave, because they have a no-laptop policy from 11 am to 3 pm… Pretty lame.

This brunch is really top-notch, always a sure bet in this city! You find an incredible variety of tastes and flavors there; it's always a pleasure to visit. The atmosphere is super nice and the staff is really welcoming. You feel at ease as soon as you walk through the door. I highly recommend it for a good time! This brunch is truly fantastic, always a must-visit in this city! They offer an incredible variety of tastes and aromas; it's always a pleasure to visit. The atmosphere is super cozy and the staff is very welcoming. You immediately feel at ease as soon as you step inside. I can wholeheartedly recommend it for a great evening! This brunch is truly fantastic, always a sure bet in this city! They offer an incredible variety of tastes and flavors; it's always a pleasure to come. The atmosphere is super friendly and the staff is really welcoming. You feel comfortable as soon as you walk in. I highly recommend it for a great time!

Would you believe it they do not accept cash as payment! No cash = No freedom. Went away next door.

Loved this place! Had brunch outside and it was delicious!

Nice gluten-free options and lovely service

Today morning, I stopped by to pick a medium cappuccino, a croissant and a brownie - all takeaway. I checked with the lady who took my order if the coffee would be ready in 5 mins as its to go and she mentioned that indeed the food items are ready immediately and the coffee will be ready in 5 mins. I would not recommend this as a to-go place as the coffee took more than 10 mins and finally I had to forego my coffee as I was getting late. She did not offer an apology neither a refund. Disappointed!

Enjoyed it fantastically on the terrace

A really nice and popular spot in Eindhoven. Friendly staff, and we didn't have to wait long for our food despite it being busy.

Very mediocre cafe.. everything about it is mediocre but the service is terrible! With rude, careless, and unprofessional crew. I asked for a croissant to be warmed up and they said they couldn’t and were very disrespectful in the way of their communication. I cannot imagine a cafe not being able to warm up a croissant!

Delicious breakfasts, wonderful cookies, and lovely service. 😊

The quality was good. The only issue from my point of view is that the portion is a bit small.

Amazing service and excellent coffee, served with a piece of homemade delish. The guy that served us made sure we're comfortable and enjoy our coffee stop. Highly recommend ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Many gluten-free options Delicious food Great atmosphere

Super friendly service! There was a small mistake with our reservation, but they resolved it nicely by covering our first round of drinks. Perfectly organized and definitely worth repeating.

Delicious breakfast/brunch with a loaded croissant and the breakfast crumble which is vegan and delicious, would recommend!!

Whilst walking around Eindhoven, we wanted to pop in for a coffee, but not just a generic coffee/cappuccino. So we tried this place. I'd say it checks out. A rather small and busy place, it had quite the queue during lunchtime after we left. The service was quite good given how tight the interior is and how busy it was. The warm drinks were nice (the praline & matcha lattes) and presented in an pleasant way. Didn't have any of the food but a lot of the plates looked exciting.

Lovely food and the service was perfect, the staff were very helpful.

Great breakfast, excellent atmosphere, delicious food.

Very good place. But I gave 4 stars because they have very few table for group of 4.

Really very tasty, always busy so you have to wait a bit, but they inform you about the waiting time.

We’ve been there on Sunday at 4pm for the last hour they were open and it was moderately busy, still possible to get a table. The café is so adorable! Really good vibes all around. We had a matcha latte, 2x cappuccino & a chai latte + the goat cheese flatbread and everything was delicious. Would recommend the flatbread highly!! We love this sweet Café, the vibe is really special & the staff so nice. Yellow cups are the cherry on top 🌞

I had the most delicious matcha chai with beautiful latte art and a sweet, proud look from Dennis! The almond croissant was also delicious. I wanted to ask for a fork because it was difficult to eat (with a hand in cast), but the staff was even kind enough to cut it into pieces for me. I highly recommend this place! <3

I visited this café on a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm, and it was extremely busy. Both indoor and outdoor tables were almost full, and it was quite hard to find a seat, which really shows how popular the place is. The menu looks great, with many appealing food options. The food was nice overall, although I personally felt the juice was a bit too watery (feel more of fake juice but it’s said that it’s real juice / I like the juice in a beagle place in Strijp-S is much better). Still, it didn’t take away from the experience. The staff were genuinely friendly, cheerful, and welcoming. The girls are all happy and the positive energy was spreading to me! You could tell they enjoy their work, which made the atmosphere even more pleasant. The café also has a toilet, which is very convenient and quite clean. We were there to celebrate my friend’s birthday, and the staff kindly helped arrange a candle on the cake and brought it to our table. It was a thoughtful gesture and made the celebration feel special. Overall, it was a very nice experience, and I would happily visit again.

Great place! Very pleasant atmosphere and excellent food😍😍! Portions are very generous and delicious. It's a bit more expensive, but very, very good! The employees are friendly and happy to help with explanations and selection. I'm honestly delighted!

It was delicious. And they have been well informed about gluten. They offered on this day a delicious gluten free banana bread and muffins. The price was also ok. Definitely worth the try. It's also to find in the gluten-free Ap (GF) Daniel

I love this place for its banana cake!! Super healthy!!! I go whenever I can! The place is quite small inside, which sometimes makes it uncomfortable for me... but generally it's good! Breakfast is a bit expensive compared to Spain... but this is the Netherlands! ;)

The staff are sweet and helpful. I think everything is vegan. I tried the caramel salted brownie and it was good, but I wouldn't go back for a meal. Their coffee is also good.

We visited this place on 27th of December with my family while on vacation. Delicious coffee and brunch

One sentence: it's a shame it's so cramped. The food is perfect, the service too. It feels like the perfect place to have a good breakfast (if you want to treat yourself). The price is higher, but that's reflected in the amount you get. As I said, it's very cramped. You shouldn't come during peak hours, as it'll be hard to find a spot, but other than that: Highly recommended!

Food was VERY DELICIOUS, staff were friendly and welcoming, they were also fast with bringing the food. I will come back in the future, the cappuccino was very good as well, and definitely a big cup enough to satisfy my morning caffeine need hahaha🤣.

Delicious food and great service!

We only had two cappuccinos. The wait was too long, about 30 minutes, absurd. Lots of people and poor service. Overrated place, expensive.

It's just a shame it's so often full. Understandable, though.

Really lovely food, definitely recommend

I have been here many times and always have a good experience. They have a more diverse coffee selection than most places. I have not tried the food, only the bakery items, but those have always been really good.

Coffees are good. But dont try the brownie. We ordered 3 coffees and 3 brownies. All the brownies were cold and the texture was so hard like it went out the freezer 2 min ago.

A good place to try for breakfast! The food was tasty, although it came out a bit cold. The waiting time from order to serving was around 20–30 minutes, even though the restaurant wasn’t very busy. However, the atmosphere and the area are beautiful, which makes it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy your meal.

A super nice place with a relaxed atmosphere. The staff takes their time, and the food is high quality. My favorite breakfast spot in the city!

Great place! It's a bit crowded, so you sometimes have to wait a bit for service, but the staff is friendly. The banana bread is highly recommended.

Super fun place. We ordered the Bacon & Banana Bread Pancakes and the Banana Bread Breakfast, both delicious and gluten-free! Also delicious decaf coffee.

Such a cozy and welcoming place! The atmosphere is relaxing, the coffee is excellent, and the pastries are fresh and delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the whole experience makes you want to stay longer. Definitely a spot worth visiting — perfect for a morning coffee, a quiet afternoon, or catching up with friends. Highly recommend! 💛

Food is ok. Tables are very close to each other. It took 40 min for the food to be served during lunch time on Saturday.

The food was fine. Good portions, though quite pricey (€5.50 for an iced tea). The girl who served us was extremely grumpy (she spoke English). Our first drinks and food arrived very quickly (within 10 minutes). When the food arrived, we ordered a second round of drinks (ice tea and spritz). These hadn't arrived after half an hour. We were almost finished with our food, so we told the waitstaff that we hadn't received our drinks yet. It seems logical to ask where our drinks were, especially since the people next to us, who ordered later, already had their drinks and it was less busy. You'd expect someone to say they'd check, but they said to us in a sharp tone: "We have more people." And she walked away. A very strange reaction. We understand that, but can't it happen that something is forgotten or already prepared? As if you're not allowed to ask the waitstaff where something is when you've already been waiting for half an hour? Then she went to the counter and someone else served it. It's really strange that she then goes on to talk about us with that colleague.

Super delicious! Friendly service. We'll definitely be back! Very dog-friendly too, so happy! Thank you!

Had a delicious lunch! It was quite busy, but there was still room. The food arrived fairly quickly. It was a very pleasant place for a delicious breakfast or lunch. With lots of healthy and vegetarian options.

Cutie little place near to the centraal with places outside on the 🌞. The food was good, interesting menu as well. Would recommend

🥑 The Happiness Cafe is a great place for delicious and healthy food in Eindhoven. ✅ I tried the chicken sandwich and the avo toast – both were fresh, well-prepared and very tasty. The products are of high quality, and the portions – completely sufficient. The atmosphere is modern and cozy, and the service – fast and with a smile. An ideal place for breakfast or a light lunch. ✅ I recommend it with both hands – I will definitely come back again!

Went here this weekend for the first time. Around 12.00 you already see people waiting to be seated, outside was full. Inside was crowded but it doesn't bother me at all, the decoration and way how they placed their furniture feels very cosy and not chaotic. Food and drinks are good and price is decent. Service already starts outside, the young waiter welcomed us with a smile. Service inside was excellent, polite, friendly and fast with a smile. For sure I will come back.

We sat outside in the summer. The staff was very attentive and asked us to open the umbrella so we could sit in the shade. The food is delicious, with an extensive menu featuring many vegetarian dishes.

Had a delicious lunch. I'm gluten-free myself, and they have plenty of options.

Delicious carrot cake and good cappuccino ❤️

Very nice service and pleasant decor, sweet meals and drinks are delicious, savory meals are a bit weaker in taste but still tasty

Really good food, top-notch service, and a great atmosphere. I'll definitely be back, both for business and pleasure.

Very cosy place for breakfast. Great selection (both vegan and vegetarian as well) on the menu for big and small appetites. I had a croissant with scrabbled eggs and it was a great way to start my day. Would definitely recommend a visit.

I love the Den Bosch location, and my visit to the Eindhoven one was also a success! Despite the busy lunchtime, the service was friendly and fast. I ordered a Sunny Avo Toast with bacon and scrambled eggs and my favorite drink: an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Delicious again! We really enjoyed our lunch after finding another lunch spot closed and deciding to skip the long line at Meneer de Boer. The Happiness Cafe, always recommended!

The food itself is very good but nothing that special. When you are seated, they tell you that for food you have to wait around 40min, so yes, you have to wait. The waitresses seem a bit stressed out, now really sure what are they exactly doing. Dirty cutlery

The Cafe is cozy and has outdoor and indoor seating. Overall, it is a nice place for a quick breakfast, but I expected a little bit more.

Delicious food, good location. Seems to be a trendy place for twenty-somethings.

Gluten free and vegan options! I had a beautiful avocado and salmon sandwich, the portion was really generous and the food was tasty. I think the coffees are not amazing here, 3/5, but the food is really nice. Also the air conditioner was really strong, I asked to pour it down but I guess it stayed the same.

Enjoyed delicious cappuccinos and coffee. The terrace has a pleasant atmosphere and is centrally located. Although it wasn't busy when we visited, we had to wait an extremely long time for a small order. Otherwise, it's a great concept.

A very nice cafe with a lovely, original menu. The food was delicious. I had the halloumi and peach. I personally preferred it with chunks of halloumi instead of grated. It was a bit of a mush with the yogurt. It lacked a bit of texture. The flavor was delicious. The others were also very happy with their food. Great location. Friendly staff. The dishes for the four of us were brought out at different times, with a considerable amount of time between them. As a result, the first two had finished theirs long before the others arrived. That was a shame, but I think it was because it was so busy. All in all: I would definitely go back, because the food was fantastic!

Great place! The food is great, very tasty, filling and large portions. The coffee is also just great. The carrot cake deserves special attention, it was great. The service is also great ❤️ I recommend this place for a great breakfast!

10 Aug 2025, Sunday: Brunch Cost : 40€ Food : excellent Staff : The girl who let us in was not that welcoming. But the girl who served was very good, loved her bright smile. Atmosphere: cute and cozy. Cappuccino Tropical green Chili kissed eggs Mango matcha pancakes

We had a wonderful meal at The Happiness Café! Despite the crowds, we were quickly seated. The poached eggs were delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy. We'll definitely be back!

Always a lovely place to come. Kind staff and amazing food. Sometimes it can be very busy, so you might need to wait a little before you can pay for example. Highly recommend one of their bowls, like the Açai or Pink Paradise. The bowls have changed since I made the photo below and they look a bit smaller. Good to know :)

A cozy place for breakfast, stylish interior, a large selection of various variations of dishes and drinks. Convenient menu with allergens, there is also a separate children's menu. Lots of gluten-free food or with the possibility of preparing it without gluten, lactose, etc. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Quite rude: A couple of weeks ago I had a great recommendation from my family to visit this restaurant. So a week ago, I visited with a group of 10 family members that included 4 kids. As they don’t take reservations, wet there early and it was not very busy. When requested for a table, one of their colleagues courteously agreed and took us inside but another colleague interrupted and said we cannot serve this big a group. I have been travelling with this group to different places but in places where it was not possible, we were given a choice to be seated separately. None at this place. They simply said wthat they cannot accommodate us without any explanation. I came there due to the positive review and the food may be good there but they already made me feel that I am wasn’t welcome. If you are just a couple, try your luck. This place isn’t for me!

The pistachio latte is the best

A gem in Eindhoven for fresh bowls health snacks and great coffee. Never lets you down with your choice. Has been my favorite place since I stepped into this town. Try their açai bowl for sure.

Nice teas and a great carrot cake. It was extremely crowded when we went and they seemed a bit understaffed however the employees are very nice people. The outdoor seating was also nice.

Really wonderful place. Service and atmosphere are a standout. The staff is so friendly! We visited twice in 2 days and always busy. We had wonderful breakfast, coffees and the gingershots. Highly recommend

great place with delicious food

cozy cafe, you can visit both with friends and with friends, delicious food and polite staff

great, espacially for breakfast and coffee. Finding a spot might be a hardwork but it worths.

The place is visually very pleasant – the dishes and drinks look really aesthetic and inviting. Unfortunately, that's where the impressions end. The taste of the dishes and drinks does not match their appearance – average, bland. I was particularly disappointed with the ceremonial cocoa – very thin, watery and definitely too weak. The biggest minus, however, is the service: passive, not very engaged, giving the impression that the presence of guests is indifferent to them. There is potential, but it still needs a lot of work to make you want to come back.

Good place for brunch, they have some healthy options as well. Nice ambience and Friendly staff.

11:00 place was full. In front of was 3/4 workers eating and chatting. And I get it that people need a brake but I was waiting for my breakfast 20 minutes and and 10 minutes for pay. One girl could not handle all of the people and I get it. But why rest of them on front of waiting clients just take a break in one time ? Very strange. My breakfast takes almost an hour…

Had lunch here with 2 people. Had to wait almost 1 hour for order. Was neatly solved with free coffee. We saw several people leave without food. In retrospect it would have been useful to know that it would take so long. The food was fine, but did not make up for the long wait.

Tasty food and nice drink options. It was quite busy though, so it took a bit long.

Everything was fine and unexcited

I got a vegan smoothie here at breakfast time, which was very nice, great service too. There was a nice atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, toilet facilities were also available. I did not get any food but people in my party did, who are also vegan, and they seemed to enjoy it. Recommended.
