★★★★★ 5.0 William Griffin · Oct 2025

I’ve been to Happy Cafe a few times while visiting a buddy in Wilmington, and every visit has been solid. The food is always fresh and packed with flavor, and the staff is awesome—friendly and down to earth. It’s the kind of spot you know you can count on. Definitely recommend it to anyone passing through or spending time in the area.

8-24-25 Traveling back home from Chicago we decided to stop here at My Happy Cafe based on other Google reviews and we were not disappointed... Well worth the short detour off the interstate! Wow! This place is amazing! The food, coffee, service, atmosphere and prices are all excellent! Our server Alyssa was amazing! This young lady is one of the best servers we have had in a long while! She is so attentive and service oriented! Much appreciated! The entire staff is very cordial and helpful! Even when the place is packed, they all step up with fast friendly service! We Will Be Back!

The banana waffle pancake with bananas, strawberries, ice cream, chocolate, and whipped cream was simply the best. We also had a single scrambled egg which came with hash brown and 2 pancakes, the veggie omlette which came with a fruit and 2 toasts. Four of us shared 3 dishes and we still had left overs. Ample parking and seating. Quick service. Competitively priced.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Jennifer Navarro · Aug 2025

Came across this place while out for a ride with my son. Our server was stellar smd attentive! It wasn't crowded but there was large group at a table. They were fine, but the ceilings are high, so it was quite loud in there. Can't imagine the noise on a crowded day. My kiddo was happy with his breakfast burger. It was huge, but he tackled it like a champ. My waffle was yummy, but for the price I expected at least a few fresh berries. This waffle was piled with syrupy berries. Became a super-sweet and soggy mess by the time I got to the middle. The prices seemed a bit high, but having to compete with larger franchise restaurants is hard, I get that.

Been coming here for years and it seems the prices are going up, the portions are going down and so is the quality I ordered 3 items for pickup. 2 omelets and 1 skillet. This is the picture of the skillet. The omelets are alright (not great but okay). I liked this place but it looks like I'll start looking for other places if this continues.
