HappyFood

Nice little lunch spot! I ate here a few weeks ago with a friend and was pleasantly surprised at the variety of options. There are smoothies and juices as well as more hearty offerings like pad Thai and falafel. I thoroughly enjoyed my falafel wrap and was quite full afterward. Will return!

This place could not be more out of the way. Even knowing the directions and address I was still unsure where I was going until I found it. It’s down a dingy alley with stale kegs being collected and questionable graffiti everywhere. As soon as you walk through the gated terrace though, you’re in another world.
The café is super minimal and clean with some well chosen bright décor in all the colours of the rainbow, fresh flowers on the tables and comfortable but functional wood furniture. T
All the options sound amazing but I had to go for the protein burger.
The service was pretty good though we had to clarify what we had ordered a couple of times– it seemed like the end of a long shift for the girl who was serving us. We went for takeaway and brought it back to the office.
I was once a veggie for a few years so I’m no stranger to good vegetarian food, but generally I do love my meat these days, so I was very pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavours, texture and quality of this food. The protein burger was just delicious, totally unreal and just filling enough to leave you wanting just one more bite when you’ve eaten it all. The perfect portion if you ask me.
I didn’t eat a lot of the Asian Slaw salad that came with it, I didn’t want to ruin the lasting flavour of the delicious salsa/​guac combo in the wrap.
I’ll definitely be back to get more of this style of food, and some of the incredible looking cakes and sweets which I held back from on this occasion.

Wow. Really really loved this place.
It’s definitely a funny feeling sleuthing down a dodgy back alley looking for ‘HappyFood’. Really like if you were to ask directions back there, on a rainy day, you’d probably look like you were tripping!
It’s such a great name though because the Yoga Hub is like a little happy place oasis back there. They’ve got a lovely little seating area out front, and the inside is all bright white and colours. With the food being located inside a yoga studio, it maybe isn’t somewhere you’d totally hang around, although they have a lot of seating inside too if you wanted to, but I just got takeaway. It only took five mins to put together, and was wrapped up all nice for me in no time.
7 euro got me a vegan burger inside a wholemeal wrap with guacamole and a beetroot and red cabbage side salad. It was so filling, extremely tasty, and just felt full of goodness. I was delighted with myself afterwards so I was!

I’ve been wanting to check this place out for a while, so I’m glad I got the chance on a sunny day! The café was down and around a not so welcoming alley, so I would say this is the type of café you would have to actively seek out as opposed to being one that you stumble upon. However on entering, it was bright, clean and fresh looking albeit a bit small with both indoor and outdoor seats.
I had the vegan burger as I’ve never tried a non-​meat burger, but I think it was more like a tortilla wrap with the burger inside. I wasn’t able to pick it up and eat to I used a fork and knife, and the taste was alright, a bit bland. I was expecting a bit more flavor, but if it’s super healthy you’re after then why not. I was offered a side salad so I chose the beetroot one which was nice! It made me wish I’d ordered a mixed salad plate instead of the burger. They had a few other vegan things on the menu like falafel, hummus, vegan desserts, chia seed cocoa balls, green juices and even matcha latte! There’s a breakfast menu from 8a to 11am, and also for sale are yoga mats and flasks!
The staff were friendly and the service was pretty quick, my food came in about 5 minutes. It wasn’t busy when I went as it was around 2pm on a weekday.
Overall, healthy food, cheap enough prices, nice atmosphere and friendly staff.

Very nice place HappyFood.
Pleasant place inside and pleasant staff working here.
I had the falafel wrap for 6 EUR to go (you can also get it with salad for 8 EUR), which was very tasty. It was prepared very well after I ordered it.
I also got a feta and asparagus tart to go, which I ate later at home. This was also very nice, albeit a bit pricey at 5.50 EUR, for the amount of tart you get. Quality over quantity.
Service was rather slow on this visit. There was no queue as such, yet it took about ten mins from the time I arrived to the time I left with my lunch. When you compare that to other similar places nearby, where the queues will be much much longer, you can be out in the same time or less even.
But if you have the time or you’re not about to eat your own arm off, I think it’s worth the wait.
I look forward to going back and trying something else from their menu. Perhaps they will have speeded up their turnaround rate too. Maybe it was just an off day.
