Always dependably open late. Cute and charming cafe. I've brought friends to this place for their first time, and they've all seemed to love it. No exception to my most recent visit. Still loved it. One little negative would be that they don't offer customer use of their restroom. It's for employees only. I thought that restaurants that have seating for customers were required to provide a restroom. Maybe I was wrong? read more

I'm honestly so disappointed with how much this place has changed since the new owners took over. It used to have such a cute, cozy, homey atmosphere that made it feel special and gave you a reason to keep coming back. Now, everything feels overly modern, and unfortunately, it completely took away the charm and vibe that made this place what it was. On top of that, the coffee just isn't good anymore. I really wanted to continue loving this place, especially because of how much I enjoyed it before, but it just doesn't have the same warmth, quality, or character it used to. Really sad to see such a charming spot lose what made it unique. read more

Really wanted to love this place. The atmosphere here is genuinely beautiful. That antique door with the neon sign, the decorative plates on the wall, the whole vibe makes you want to sit down, relax, and get some work done. It's exactly the kind of cafe I look for. Unfortunately the coffee itself was a big letdown. I ordered a Spanish latte with oat milk and honestly couldn't taste any coffee or any hint of oat milk. It tasted like watered down almond milk, kind of like the Kirkland brand you'd get at Costco, just slightly sweeter. And for the price, the size was disappointing too, probably one of the smallest I've seen on Ventura Boulevard for the cost. There are much better coffee options throughout the Valley. I'd rate the coffee an honest 1/5, but the atmosphere is a solid 4/5. Hoping they make some changes because this place has real potential. read more

Too pricey and the flavor is mid. The cafe decoration looks nice, however the drinks here don't match with the price tag. I paid $11 for this small milkshake, and it's no where compare to a $7 milkshake I got from chick fila. There are nothing special about this milkshake that justifies for the price. Will not comeback for sure read more

Happy Days Cafe - Strawberry milkshake - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

"Sunday, Monday, HAPPY DAYS! Tuesday, Wednesday, HAPPY DAYS! Thursday, Friday, HAPPY DAYS! Saturday, what a day..." Don't forget about Sunday! Open 7 days a week in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles on Ventura Blvd between Cedros Avenue and Van Nuys Blvd. You can enjoy a plethora of options including gluten free and vegan ones from their milkshakes to their coffees, teas to ice creams, churros (the star of the show, of course) and everything in-between! For ice cream their Vegan Salted Caramel & Chocolate Ice Cream is incredible, my fav and first choice - but don't sleep on their Vegan Coconut Vanilla Ice Cream or Vegan Coconut Chocolate Ice Cream. Classic dairy flavors include: Cookies & Cream Ice Cream, Dulce De Leche Ice Cream and Vanilla. Ordering inside is easy peasy at the counter, but H.D.C. does use third party apps like UberEats/Postmates for pickup/carryout as well as delivery. I pop in now and then and most recently after dinner I had a nice post meal treat of churros to go. Water at their water and utensils area with beverage enhancers: sugar, stirrers, etc. Churro Ice Cream sandwich is incredible - best if you can enjoy it right away though I have order deliver twice this year just from craving that Vegan Salted Caramel between two of their delicious churro "bun" - best invention ever! Non dairy milkshakes all day! Though I rarely indulge in those extra decadent and rich dessert beverages - highly recommend you do. Seating inside is cool cozy but warm and chic. You can enjoy things outside as well with some seating. Prices are thoughtful, as is Happy Days Cafe. Open to all from PM to AM, see days for specific hours and times. Come out to Happy Days and have yourselves a hopping good time!! read more

I'm not a fan of churros anymore, but then, I never tried or heard of stuffed churros until coming here with friends. We got the sampler and they were all great, made to order. The perfect snack on a cold night. Four of us easily scarfed down 4. One has mango, guava - some kind of tropical fruit. Happy Days is a charming, small cafe that's open late. Service is friendly and excellent. They serve delicious hot cocoas, too. Was a great way to end the evening! read more

Cute place! It's so hard to find places that are open late and chill. Being a tiny space in the middle of Ventura Blvd. with limited indoor and outdoor seating, it might be easy to miss. I've come here twice and glad to find a new hang out spot! Just wish they had chai lattes / more drinks and food options. It looks like churros are the thing here but I only exclusively eat Disney churros hahaha. Service has always been kind, even when they are packed. Looking forward to coming back. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! The drinks are super expensive and they are tiny. There is one person at the counter so he makes the drinks (very poorly) and can't use the iPad cash register. I'm asking for a refund after waiting 20 mins for an ice tea that he finally brought. Luke warm with all the ice melted!! I'm still standing in front of the register as I write this review!!! read more

Happy Days Cafe - Ridiculous! This was $6.00!!! - Desserts Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yesterday I had the WORST COFFE IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFEE!! I just threw it away after a sip, but I should've asked for refund. Truly my horchata latte tasted like watered down milk! Disgusting! Their tiramisu also tasted old and sour to some extent. Don't waste your money here. I'm just shocked how they have 4 star review! read more

Not really as good as everyone makes it? The lattes were subpar and the churros were good but not like AMAZING? Idk man. Maybe I'm crazy.

Got their gluten free churros and saved them for later in the day and was disappointed BUT the next day I put them in the airfrier and they were delicious!! Which makes me realize that they would be delicious fresh so if you get them to save for later, pop them in the airfrier first to crisp them up! My only complaint is the stuffed churros have a little too much stuffing. Buy them with the regular churros because there's a lot of stuffing with them to put onto the plain churros. As for their ambiance, it was alright and the customer service was basic. Better than most places. Their sign outside was confusing because it says Happy Vibes Cafe, not Happy Days Cafe. Overall, will get there again because I don't get a lot of gluten free options. However, if you have celiac, please note they use the same oil as the regular wheat so this is only gluten friendly read more

Happy days and a the best churro restaurant in the area! They have a lovely array of teas to choose from. I think the stuffed churros are the best thing on the menus. Staff is always helpful and kind. Cute place especially at night! read more

With a random craving for Churros, I stumbled upon this place. They have gluten free options of churros and waffles, which are nice. Unfortunately, the churros themselves were mediocre...not enough cinnamon flavors but more sugar. Half baked inside (could have been hard because GF doughs are gooey). The lady at the register was also talking for the whole time on phone loud and cooking. I wanted to enjoy churros but the environment was not relaxing and also I am a bit worried she was talking over my churros when cooking. read more

I was walking down Ventura Blvd while visiting family and stumbled upon this spot and now I get sad every time I think about it because it was SO GOOD. If you're in the area, you need to stop by Happy Days. This was the cutest spot with the most unique and beautiful decor, and of course delicious coffee and churros. I got the churro sampler with different stuffed churro flavors and an incredible horchata iced latte. I still think about this little coffee stop because of how good they were but sadly I'm all the way across the country lol. If you want to send some my way, Happy Days team, I'll gladly take some stuffed churros and another horchata latte read more

LeMill coffee is used here... Enough said! Excellent brews, cute little place, and delicious desserts. I ordered the Churro Waffle Ice cream which was excellent. Crispy and flaky, the warm waffle complimented the vanilla ice cream deliciously. Inside and outdoor seating available; inside the music is a bit loud but the atmosphere is cozy and sweet like the desserts. Definitely worth exploring this cafe. read more

Absolutely love the churros here! When we're in the area, my husband and I like coming here after our date night dinners. Although, with our most recent experience, the girl who took our order kept messing it up. My husband ordered a hot chocolate for dine in and she gave it to us in a To go cup :( I was sad about it because I really wanted the nice big cup with the decorated top. At that time, we were over it and didn't want them to just pour it in a cup so we took it the way it is. Additionally, we ordered the caramel dip and they gave us Nutella which we didn't order. It was a bit annoying but outside of this, we enjoyed our churros. read more

Both stuffed and regular. It's such a cute place. They also have gluten free waffles as well. Next time I'm going to try the Horchata latte read more

What a cute little cafe! While the space is on the smaller size, they utilize every single inch of it. The design and decorations are perfect. Now for the best part the churros! Absolutely delicious! How did I not know of this place till now? We had the Stuffed Sampler and I don't think I could pick just one as my favorite. The ice matcha latte was so yummy and the ice cream tasted heavenly. The staff was very friendly and willing to answer all our questions. Will definitely be going back a lot! read more

Love this place! Great service and the best snacks. If I can give 10 stars, I really would!

Happy Days Cafe has a cute vibe, but my experience was just okay. I ordered the Horchata Latte, and while it tasted great--smooth, flavorful, and nicely balanced--it wasn't worth the price. The cup was noticeably small for what I paid, which was a bit disappointing. The cafe itself is cozy, but there's very limited seating, so it's not the best spot to relax or hang out for long. It felt a bit cramped, especially during peak hours. Overall, I give it 3 stars: solid drink, but the value and space didn't match the hype. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Happy Days Café - Halloween Night Sweet Stop We came here on Halloween night after checking out some decorated houses it felt right to end the night with a little treat! I'd heard they're known for their churros, so it was an easy yes. They have tons of options and different sizes, some with fillings, and a whole drink menu with coffee, espresso, and teas to pair with everything. We ordered: Churros con Chocolate- 9/10 These were exactly what I wanted; thin, crispy churros that are easy to eat and perfect for dipping into the warm chocolate sauce. The texture was spot-on: light and fluffy inside, golden and crisp outside. It had about 5-6 in an order. There was a little too much sugar for me, but I just shook it off and kept going. I could've eaten a whole tray, dangerously good! Stuffed Dulce de Leche Churro - 9/10 These surprised me because they were huge basically the size of a hot dog! I thought they'd be the smaller sampler ones, but nope, full-size and stuffed. The dulce de leche filling was amazing.; not overly sweet, super smooth, and just right for our sweet preference (we're definitely 70%+ sweet people). Loved how the churro still had that nice crisp texture even with the filling. Affogato - 9/10 Simple and classic, vanilla ice cream with an espresso shot. I love when that espresso bitterness mixes into the creamy ice cream, especially while snacking on churros on the side. My only wish? A little more ice cream because I didn't want it to end. Hot Horchata Latte - 9/10 So cozy! It had a great cinnamon flavor and that creamy horchata taste that makes you feel like you're drinking dessert. I dipped some churros into it (highly recommend). I got it hot this time, but next round I'm definitely trying it iced, I think it'll pair even better that way. Overall Vibe: Cute, cozy, and a little romantic; perfect for a date night, girls' hangout, or late-night dessert craving. They were open until midnight when we went, which was a bonus. There's a water and utensil station for sharing, and enough seating inside for small groups, plus a few outdoor tables. We parked on the street by the meters, but I think there's also a small lot behind. I really liked this spot overall, it's the kind of place that makes you want to linger and try every churro flavor on the menu. Definitely coming back soon to sample more! read more

cute little cafe along ventura! needed a sweet treat and this spot came up. the churro was perfectly crisp and soft at the same time and the fillings paired so well with it. we got the oreo and dulce de leche filling and ordered a side of ice cream. the cold ice cream paired with the warm gooey churro was a great combo. i just wish there was a option to order just 1 big churro because two was a LOT even for two to share. service was fine, was just surprised that they forgot our ice cream when there were no other customers there lol. still a great place to share dessert with family or friends. it's conveniently close to other restaurants/ bars. read more

Upon walking in, the lady with glasses wasn't all too friendly. I asked her how her day was and she just stared at me, waiting for me to order. The Spanish Latte was pretty good but the Carmel Macchiato tasted lifeless. When we ordered the churros, they were HUGE but the inside was a little too soft. I opened it up and it was grey and definitely raw (pictured above). We told the lady we thought it was raw and she just said it was normal, offering no refund. Now my stomach hurts and I can't even use the bathroom lolz read more

One of my favorite places to go for dessert! The cafe is really cute inside, love the decor. However it is a little cramped but luckily there's outdoor seating as well or you can just take it to go. This is my go to place for churros. They're so good and fresh. I do wish I could order a smaller size so unless you plan to save them for later I would suggest sharing with someone. The staff is always friendly but I do feel like they need more help because it can take a while to order if no one is upfront. But will always recommend this place read more

Don't understand how the employees can discriminate customers at this point in time. I've bought coffee many times before and the one time I sit outside with a drink from next door to catch my breath I'm instantly asked to move. But I've seen many other people with food or smoothies from next door and they haven't been kicked off. They pick and choose their battles, if someone isn't bothering you I don't think you should waste time on asking them to move. Bad move on your part, you lose business and come off as discriminating when you don't do it to everyone. read more

Honestly I've been coming here for years... not like it was my first time. Ordered 2 Nutella cappuccinos I waited for about 30 minutes went in to check twice told me they're busy totally unacceptable it was a Saturday night. When the employee came with the coffee it was looking awful literally tasted like water with coco powder no Nutella inside or outside the cup usually how they serve it and when I asked the employee he said OH IM SORRY WE DIDN'T PUT THE DRIZZLE BECAUSE WE ARE BUSY AT THE MOMENT.. and then the owner or whoever it was had the audacity to tell us that next time tell them how to make it for that some people don't like it this way or that. If I'm ordering something I want it to serve that way.... Would give zero stars if I could never coming back again read more

I came in at 7pm just searched coffee shops still open and they were one of the only ones besides Starbucks open so I had to stop by and try the matcha! The matcha can come unsweetened which is how I like it so I was really happy about that. When the drink came and I tried it is was great! Great green color and great matcha flavor! read more

"CHECK IN" and get that discount. I know i forget to do that in the moment many times. Back to the review. I've driven by this place and never knew it was here on Ventura Blvd. Meter parking everywhere but not much available on a Sunday at 130pm. Found parking behind "on the 30" and they had free parking the first 2 hrs. I came here thinking I'd get a plain churro and go about my day but i ended up with the sampler instead. Amazing! Nutella, chocolate, dulce de leche and guava (jam). Each churro got progressively better where I'm thinking oh damn even better! I started with Nutella and chocolate and ended with dulce de leche. Quick service with churros delivered to you, and inside or outside seating to enjoy all of Ventura Blvd. Good price, would love them to add a little more stuffing inside but it's a new favorite! read more

Unfortunately, we had a very poor experience. We ordered two smoothies that both had a strong metallic, industrial-oil-like taste. Our two kids noticed it immediately and stopped drinking them at the same time. My wife and I tasted them as well and confirmed the issue. We calmly informed the person working at the shop, who identified herself as the owner. Instead of acknowledging the concern or checking the drinks, she responded rudely and stated that the issue was our problem, refusing to offer a refund. This was not about the $25 spent, but about the lack of professionalism and customer care. A simple acknowledgment or willingness to address the issue would have made a difference. Unfortunately, the dismissive attitude ensured we will not be returning. read more

This place is delightful. Novelty coffee and churros place. The churros are excellent and this is a great place to stop after dinner out when walking along Ventura Blvd. It is small and has a quaintness to the decor. My one star off is because the staff is a bit uninterested. Not mean or anything, just not enthused. We'll be back for sure. I recommend the stuffed churros sampler. read more
