Happy Coffee
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 service tied to the station staff is the clear draw, with reviewers repeatedly praising the men behind the counter as friendly, kind, and chatty, one even noting he still waves out on the street. Coffee is called good quality and reliably good, with the oat latte and decaf coffee singled out by name, plus a pain aux chocolat and a pastry mentioned as regular grabs, and one reviewer likes that the cups do not leak. Not every cup wins praise, one reviewer calls the coffee average at an average price, and another says it is not to their taste but does the job. One reviewer reports being sold an out of date Plenish shake with a layer of skin on top and bitty texture, and felt the counter staff lacked urgency, though they still liked the pain aux chocolat. Several mention getting a biscuit alongside their order timed for the train.

“I was given an out of date plenish (i have pictures) when i opened it the top had thick layer of skin on it and the shake was bitty.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!”
