Quick info
About Happy Coffee
Happy Coffee sits on the station platform in Romford, a kiosk with counter service and no seating area. Coffee is the focus, with an oat latte among the options, alongside Plenish plant-based shakes for those wanting a dairy-free choice. Pastries round out the counter, including pain au chocolat, and a coffee paired with a biscuit is offered as a simple combination. Drinks are served in cups designed not to leak, useful for commuters carrying them onto a train. It runs on a walk-in basis, with orders taken and served straight from the counter. The kiosk's position on the platform makes it a stop on the way to a train rather than a destination in itself.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly staff are what reviewers raise most, describing the people behind the counter as kind and chatty, a lift on a dull commute. Coffee comes next, with a very good oat latte and a decaf one reviewer calls probably among the best around. A warm pain au chocolat and a biscuit with the coffee also get mentioned, as do cups that do not leak. Several note reasonable prices and service timed to catch a train. Not everyone is won over on the coffee: one calls it average at an average price, and another says it is not to their taste. One reviewer was handed an out of date Plenish with a thick layer of skin on top and a bitty shake, and found the man at the desk lacked urgency, advising others to check their drinks. Still, others mention always getting a pastry and a cuppa, and one says a staff member still waves from the station.

“I was given an out of date plenish (i have pictures) when i opened it the top had thick layer of skin on it and the shake was bitty. The man behind the desk didnt seem to have a sense of urgency to him which you need on a platform coffee cafe. The pain aux chocolate was good nice and warm. But check your drinks!”
