Review of Happy Creek Coffee & Tea

Happy food, drink, & vibe: I don’t often write reviews; however, this I’m writing while still sitting here in this incredibly warm and happy hidden gem. We left Charlottesville too early to find a place to get coffee that wasn’t a Starbucks. I looked for something on our way back north towards Vermont. This place kept coming up, but seemed a bit off the beaten path. We decided to take the country road up and I’m so glad we did. Not only was the drive utterly breathtaking, but Happy Creek went above what I was expecting. Sometimes folks like us get excited about the tiniest morsel of options. Not so here. We had breakfast panini. They were delicious, but the espresso drinks were off the hook. Incredible. There was also everything you ever wanted from an old school coffee place: zines, local kombucha and chocolate, odds and ends… As a practical tip: the place is in an old barn on high st. It doesn’t have a sign, so look for a beigish peach place. The small door is on high and there is a patio around back. The tiny door will take you to heaven.
