My sister and I were traveling to the area for my nieces doctor's appt and said let's get our eat on before. Lol... Googled the nearest Vegan/Vegetarian eatery and wallah like magic this place had everything we needed.All the way down to the drinks Great&friendly staff also, shout out to Jeremy he made us feel very welcomed!!! Exceptional service from everyone there, we will definitely be back when we're in the area! read more

Line to order. They make your salad as you walk to register. They will bring your smoothie to you. Long beautiful wood tables. Really good green smoothie. Had a salad and got one to go. Clean restrooms. Composting bin for bowls and utensils. read more

Love this place! Eat here 2-3 x week for lunch and always feel super powered for the afternoon. Clean and delicious food - consistently fresh and vibrant. Staff is so friendly and fabulous. Whole vibe is so perfect.... read more

Usually love this chain but this location sucks. Ordered the Thai Chicken Crunch to go - got home to find very little chicken, no cashews, no crunchy wontons. Not much left to justify the price, for sure. Almond Brothers smoothie didn't seem to have the usual coffee in it either. Pass. read more

Delicious, healthy and quick! Great breakfast or lunch spot for on the go or to sit down. Wish there was more outdoor seating.

So yummy and clean, good music, great staff and delicious food. We had their salad with quinoa, roasted beets, avocado, kale and butternut squash and it was huge and fabulous. We also tried their beet juice which has ginger, apple and carrot I think, delish. I am so happy to finally find a healthy lunch place here! Yay! read more

Great healthy food. Neat concept. Loved my smoothie and breakfast eggs. Loved the open concept with seating outside. Delicious.

They have a great and fresh selection of items. They have amazing options no matter if you are vegetarian, vegan or a meat eater. The staff members were also really friendly. I wish there were one in my city. I also was able to take me some fresh juice to go. read more

This is my go to spot when I am back home. I always get the ahi tuna poke bowl.. never disappoints!

They have good smoothies and the scramble is nice (although sometimes very salty). They have a good salad choice and they're big servings which is nice considering the price. However, the wait for smoothies and eggs etc can be so slow. I've waited 20 plus minutes before. The staff are very friendly but even just paying can take far longer then it should. Also, the staff will frequently forget to put items on your salad etc so you have to remind them which is annoying. They also run out produce a lot, when I went in last time they had no kale or feta cheese which was annoying. read more

On a quick lunch, I decided to grab a smoothie from Happy + Hale. I ordered the City of Oats and it was delish. If you're accustomed to smoothies at places like Smoothie King and Planet Smoothie, you may not enjoy this particular one. It isn't overly sweet at all. There is a hint, but it doesn't taste like dessert. It was filling and I would order it again. I plan to return and order one of their bowls. I would have given 5 stars, but the wait for my smoothie was too long. read more

Best salad themed restaurant that I've ever been to. Everything is fresh and the choices are fantastic. A little in the pricy side, but not over the top. Comparably priced to getting a "build your own" salad from the bar at Whole Foods, only better tasting. Busy at lunch, but the line moves pretty fast. Health shakes available too, though I haven't tried any yet. One local beer on tap, if you're not the mood to make your salad a little more interesting!!! read more

I came here yesterday and as I went through the line ordering learned they were out of farro, quinoa, avocado, bread (that is supposed to come with the salad), and salad to-go lids. And those were just things I specifically asked for, so I'm assuming they were out of plenty of other stuff. Not sure if they always run out of stuff by 6pm or a delivery truck hadn't come in, but I think they should put a sign on the door if they are out of so many things or at least offer a free drink or cookie or something. Otherwise you have customers going through the line who have already committed to an order learning yet another thing isn't available and ultimately being disappointed in their $11 salad. read more

1. Sometimes the employees are snobs. Not always, but sometimes 2. Not enough less sugary juice options (the one they had when they first opened they stopped making because people didn't buy, the point of a health/detox juice is not to necessarily be sugary-- maybe this is a southern thing...) 3. They don't de vein their shrimp .. so lots of shrimp poop. So for 4$ extra, you pay for poopy shrimp. 4. Price.. wouldn't be as bad if 1-3 were more on point. Don't @ me. read more

This used to be a great place to get salads, but they stopped chopping the salads and now they're just bland. The biggest issue is they stopped chopping the salads and didn't start chopping the ingredients so you just have giant chunks of food that you have to cut up yourself. It sounds so small and petty, but it makes a huge difference - especially when prices were so high to begin with. I don't know if it's because the ingredients aren't chopped and mixed up so you notice each individual ingredient more, or if they switched suppliers, but the quality has also really seemed to go down. They also used to do seasonal specials, but they haven't changed it up since winter. It's just a lot of little things that have made this place not worth the money read more

Food Poisoning after eating one of their chicken bowls never again. If you want to be stuck on the toilet throwing up in a bowl all night then this is the place! read more

I am not happy and I am not hale. This place advertises full meals and provides snack sized portions, all the while charging full meal rates. This cup of tuna was NOT WORTH 12 dollars. read more

I LOVE HAPPY+HALE!!!! This has quickly become my favorite place to get lunch. I eat a clean diet (most of the time) and this is the only place I can get lunch that is not only healthy but actually clean and doesn't make me feel sick. All of the employees are awesome!! Tyler, Tiffany, Evan, Andi and JJ are all awesome - they remember me by name and always genuinely ask how I am and how work is going. I am so excited they have opened and have such a great menu! (Highly recommend Quinoa Bowl - FAVORITE, Protein Bowl, Big Salad, Popeye + Olive Oil,City of Oats smoothie and Kombucha) read more

My 2-star rating comes with a condition.... I realize that this location is brand spanking new and still had some kinks to work out. New staff, new process, new everything. So with that in mind, I will give this place another try. I stopped in this morning to pick up a salad for lunch later. I have been wanting to try the place since they opened and today seemed like opportunity at its best. I popped in and wanted to try something along the lines of a cobb salad. The "Scrambled" or the "Sunnyside" salad was a close fit, so I opted for the scrambled. The only difference between the two salads, by the way, is the egg and your own selection of "trimmings". I was greeted by a nice young lady (only her second day on the job) who was pleasant enough and I noticed that most everyone had smiles on their face. At 8 am, this is a major selling point to me. I am big on customer service, and smiles rank right up there with sliced bread and the bible, lol. The young lady helped me with my salad (with an assist from another, more seasoned employee). So far, so good. Admittedly I was a little concerned of the price of the salad, plus a cup of meat will cost $3 extra (Tofu will be $2), putting my salad at $9. The salad was assembled, all that we were waiting on now was a sunnyside up egg. A sunnyside up easy egg. I waited 6 minutes for this egg, which was perplexing I gotta say. It's not like there were people in front of me (previous customers already got their food and was seated as I first walked in the door). I also noticed how clean the place looked, and how well placed the juices were and everything in a good order (Paradise for someone with OCD! lol). Very clean, kudos to the crew for that! 6 minutes for a egg, sunnyside up easy. It takes me, at home, two minutes, if that, to fix such an egg. But alas, it happened and that one thing put a huge dent in an otherwise nice experience. On my next visit, I am confident that I will not try anything egg related, as it seems a little taxing on the cook, especially if I am short on time like I was this morning. I am looking forward to enjoying my fresh, crisp salad today for lunch and will try to forget the 6 minute minute egg, and instead focus on the salad, the pleasant customer service and the cleanliness of the place as a whole. UPDATE: I arrived at my office and I looked at my salad and did not realize that they cooked the whole salad. GROSS. I thought it was going to be a fresh, crisp bed of green lettuce and veggies, with a fried egg on top of the salad. But instead, the whole salad is cooked. No wonder it took 5 minutes for my minute egg, they were cooking everything! Totally unappetizing, the salad unfortunately went into the trash. Nowhere on the menu did it mention that my salad was going to be cooked!!!!!!! I will give this place one more try, but I swear if they serve me cooked/wilted salad again, I will never be back to this place much less tell anyone to not bother unless they like cooked green salad. read more

Love this place. Great smoothies (especially the City Of Oats and the Almond Brothers...add some whey protein!). The avocado toast is a personal favourite. Everybody that works here is super friendly. read more

I have been here twice for lunch & it is amazing! The combination of flavors is always on point. I have had the Bueno Bowl & Tai Chicken Bowl & would recommend both. Also, the service is great! Everyone is friendly, polite, & super helpful. Quickly becoming one of my go-to spots!! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. The food was clearly fresh and of good quality, and the smoothy we ordered (alo-ha) was delicious. I did not love all of the juice selections, some were not very tasty, but the meal more than made up for it. Customer service was great, and I love the variety of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options. Finally a lunch spot that I don't have to feel guilty about. read more

While the food is good, the ordering experience and service was so painful and almost not worth it. After I ordered an Ensa-lot-a, the guy making the salad went and got a menu and very casually (and slowly) went down the line to figure out what was in the salad. He literally didn't know any ingredients. Please put well trained people on the line during lunch hour. He took so long that the person ordering behind me ended up skipping in front of me with her completed meal. read more

More like UNhappy and Hale... Good food but extremely poor service. Due to their inadequate communication line my order was forgotten. The cashier was unresponsive and and it took them 15 minutes to realize the order. Then another 10 minutes to make it. The bowl was shoved into my hands unapologetically. I'm sure they are great people, but a terrible team. Also - SO expensive. My bowl cost 11 dollars and it was so small I could fit it in my hands. read more

Forgets something on a bowl that is included or i pay extra for every single time. I order there because I work across the street almost every other day. Only go for convenience. Today will be my last day going. read more

If you're looking for a place to get a yummy and healthy meal, I recommend Happy and Hale! They have a variety of choices,you can get a dish with quinoa and spinach or olives with spinach! I've only been to Happy and Hale once but I thought the service was great! The person at the register walked to me and gave me my food instead of just shouting that my food was ready. Overall I think Happy and Hale is great place for a yummy and healthy meal!!' read more

Typical college vibe! Active, friendly, loud, and young. The staff were friendly, although I wasn't impressed with the food. We ordered the city of oats smoothie and it came to us completely liquid and room temperature. We had to add ice and couldn't get past the peanut butter, super overpowering. We also had the açaí bowl and it was average. The ahi poke bowl was alright...the tuna wasn't poke style but just plain cut up fish. There were also little fruit flies hovering around our table and food. Wouldn't eat here again. read more

We had been waiting to go all year and it did not disappoint! I had a great acai bowl and am looking forward to going back to try more from their menu. Many great options and informative menu regarding dietary restrictions. read more

Happy and Hale has some of the most amazing and accommodating staff I've ever met! I ordered the Fall Grain Bowl not knowing that their pesto had nuts. Because I have a nut allergy, I went to ask them if I could have a small plate to remove the pesto and eat the bowl without dressing. Instead, the staff let me keep the fall grain bowl to share with friends, and they custom made me a quinoa bowl free of charge! So delicious and I've never felt more accommodated for. read more

Definitely one of the best, healthy places for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Durham! Fresh, local produce, amazing avocado toast, and even tasty cocktails made with cold pressed juice. read more

Overall my entire experience was fantastic! Upon walking in I was greeted by multiple people which made me feel very welcomed! I ordered the acai bowl due to a recommendation from a friend and let me tell you it was delicious! Not sure if it was worth $11 but it sure was tasty and it was made with fresh ingredients so that was a plus for sure. I will definitely be returning to Happy & Hale soon to try out the rest of the menu!!! read more

Great bowls and salads- lots of different & fresh ingredients/toppings. Awesome vegetarian options. Watermelon Marg is BOMB.COM ! Staff is great (&hilarious)! read more

Very friendly staff! One of my favorite lunch places. They do a consistently good job preparing food. Wait can be somewhat long (expectedly so) during the lunchtime rush. Other than that, they are quick with orders and always very professional, interactive, and kind. read more

Came here from SF Bay Area for college touring. We tried the bida bowl and the beef bowl with the city of oats smoothie, and they were excellent. We've also tried the açaí bowl, the dragon bowl (the dragon bowl tasted little watered down but was pretty good), and the breakfast wrap (very filling but delicious). Good choice for a quick breakfast, and employees were friendly! read more

Got the Ahi Poke Bowl ($10). Fish was super fresh along with the other ingredients. Since it was my first time in they gave me a free tea drink on the house. Very yummy. Definitely a good choice if you want a healthy meal. read more

This is hands down my favorite place in Raleigh! The line is always crazy at lunch if that is any indication of how good the salads are. I've been for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I always love what I order. The Walters Harvest (I think that is what it is called) is my favorite salad. The City of Oats smoothie is also awesome and has prompted me to add oats to my smoothies at home. Also, they deliver and you can pre-order your meal for pick up which is a score during the lunch hour rush :D. I will miss this place when I leave Raleigh. read more

Really happy to have this place in Durham. As a one-time New Yorker I've long miss the chopped and tossed salads you can get on every corner in the city. Service is great and the space is very pleasant. The salads are very fresh and tasty, and I love the Almond Brothers smoothie and breakfast wrap. A couple of areas for improvement: I wish they had a larger selection of veggies and salad toppings, and a couple of ingredients haven't been prepared quite right (rock hard beets, bland lemon tahini dressing), but i'm confident get it right over time! Welcome to Durham! read more

Happy and Hale is my favorite place in Durham! I've gone there many, many times and I always have great experiences. The staff is so friendly, and the location very nice! I love the Ensalota, and you also can't go wrong with a make your own salad, an açaí bowl, or one of their many other signature bowls- their incredibowl is great, too! read more

The food is awesome! Great healthy choices. But WOW is it slowww. I'm waiting almost 20 minutes for avocado toast this week. That's after last weeks 20 minute smoothie wait. read more

I absolutely loved the salad, service, and fresh acai bowl. This will be my healthy spot when traveling!
