How have I not rated Happyrock coffee yet? My go-to order has been the Mexican Mocha, it's delightful. They have plenty of options for alternative milk. During the summer months, they make lavender lemonade! Lately, I haven't been able to make it to the shop so I signed up for a subscription. On the delivery day, my mailbox smells amazing and I don't have to remember to pick up coffee. I have never witnessed a small business owner more engaged and committed to their community. read more

Great roasted coffee also consistent reliability. Loved the random shop with its clever décor of left behind treasures filling every nook and cranny... even a blueberry bush fruited year after year new place with sign waits for all locals to have hope that one day we can feel the love in an eclectic atmosphere once again do hope Daniel is wellLisa too read more

Customer Service. Not everything needs to involve politics. Skip this place, their dirty attitude isn't worth any cup of coffee.

Not a fan of the bitter coffee. Went by last week and thought I'd give them a go. Prefer local over Starbucks. Thought I was drinking Folgers but at a premium price. Service was ok. Nothing special. Won't be back. read more

We typically like pour over coffee and we're having try trouble finding some in Lake Oswego. We thought it would be fun to go for a drive and seek out some coffee places. What's the name like happy rock, how could you go wrong? This looks like it is a cute shop inside but we can't know because they're not letting people in. It's just hard for us to believe that they're still forcing people to stand outside in line. When we asked about the coffee for a pour over, the gal pointed to their coffee beans that were over 4 feet away. The information was also laying on the window but something had been covering it up so we couldn't see that. Everything just felt awkward. We finally ordered something we thought we would like and stood outside waiting for it. It was still awkward to get the amount of cream and sugar that we wanted in the coffee. We were also provided with a paper stirrer that disintegrated in about 10 seconds. it was pretty useless. While waited for our coffee, we had plenty of time to see the signs that are in the window. We like good coffee wherever we can find it and we don't care what people's political affiliations are but we're not sure why flags and signs promoting one group over another need to be displayed in a coffee shop. When we left, the coffee had none of the notes that were stated on the beans. It was disappointing and we tossed the coffee. It was not a good experience but the gal helping us was nice enough and it's great they have several options for pour overs. read more

Good coffee, local owners, and a nice place with good wifi. Wait, staff are great, friendly, and make you feel at home. The ambiance is a nice, cozy space that, when warm, includes a private back porch that is quiet and comfortable. read more

We've entered a new era where smaller, independent coffee roasters are emerging in many cities. These are now referred as "micro roasters", just like the micro breweries. Many of these micro roasters also have working relationships with the micro breweries in my town(San Diego)to produce coffee- influenced beers such as stouts and porters. I would imagine this happens in Portland as well, since it's a beer town like mine. I must admit, I have never been to Gladstone, much less Oregon, but my coworker stopped in and brought back two types of coffee on his recent visit to Portland. He picked up the Little Bear Blend for us to brew at work, and a small care package of El Chupacabra for me to take home. I was impressed with the lower acidity of the coffee on both styles which led to a balanced, smooth taste. They both had a slight citrus flavor and heavier chocolate notes. Flavors were not complex really, just very smooth similar to cold brew coffee. Not sure when I can make it up this way, but I do have a nephew that lives outside of Eugene, so I told him to check it out if he's in the area. I've always wanted to visit some breweries here, and for me, beer and coffee are my favorite drinks! I just might have to make the trip happen one day! Yes, but coffee first...! read more

Happyrock Coffee Roasting - My 4oz of delicious coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gladstone, Oregon

Worst coffee ever. Wouldn't let me dog drink this swill. Don't waste your money here.

Great service, quality ingredients and great community. Such a valuable spot to have in the area!

Beat the high score and your drink is free. How's that for a challenge? I pretty much fell in love with this place when I saw the Creature from the Black Lagoon pinball machine. [1] Happyrock Coffee is a little out of the way, but so worth the effort. A micro roaster in the sleepy little town of Gladstone, close to the river. I regularly drive along McLoughlin Blvd. and consider it an ugly blur between Oregon City and Milwaukie. Just a few blocks off the main drag and it is like going back in time to a small downtown filled with taverns and vintage gas stations. I imagine this is what Milwaukie looked like before the recent gentrification. The owner, Lisa, roasts small batches of beans and makes very good coffee drinks. I've had an equally good experience with other staff. There are a few food items, including baked goods from Two Girls Catering and pizza from DaVinci's. They also have Pop Tarts (2 for a $1). The indoor space is incredibly small and dominated by the roaster. It feels more like a funky living room, than a retail space. No complaints. When I want the world to slow down and have a nice cup of coffee in a quirky environment, this is a fantastic choice. And if I want a breath of fresh air, I head out back to the patio. [1] 'The Creature' has since been replaced by South Park. read more

Love this place. The coffee is great and the vibe is wonderful. If you have some time, stay and enjoy your beverage inside or in the courtyard. If you are lucky the owner will be there. I have not tried the sandwiches but they look incredible. Skip the chains and support small businesses. Check out Happy Rock Coffee! read more

I've been returning to Happy Rock for three years since my first discovery. Nothing has changed I am pleased to say. I come alone, I bring friends, whatever, it's worth it. This is how I improve my morning. This is now the coffee I buy and take home. Oh, Happy Rock, stay forever! read more

What a great night!! Fabulous Drag Queen Bingo!! Lisa is a rock (a happy rock ) of the community and people, places and amazing coffee like hers make the world a better place. Safe space and welcoming to all! read more

I am in absolute shock. This place was recommended to us and we stopped on our way to church. When you order your outside the entire time, no biggie for us. My husband stepped away and pulled his mask down while outside and 8+ feet away from anyone. The employee/owner saw him and started berating him about his mask. Before he could say anything or put his mask back on she started yelling at him calling him an "f*$king prick" and continued to yell at him as he left the situation to get back in the car with our four kiddos. Absolutely appalled. We will NEVER spend our money here and advise people avoid this place. read more

When I travel I love to try local coffee shops. They usually have much better quality, ingredients and taste than Starbucks. From the pictures on Yelp I figured this was a quirky shop with good coffee and maybe some local sourcing. The coffee is not good. Got the Jaime latte (cinnamon, hazelnut and honey) with almond milk and it was disgusting. I tasted it in my car and had to go back to return it. Asked for a regular mocha instead....which was not good either. I didn't want to make a fuss so I kept it because it was drinkable. Also got the double cheese breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, & cream cheese). It was edible. The cheese looks like that fake orange cheese sauce they put on nachos at baseball games. I don't think it's real cheese. Overall don't recommend, especially if you care about ingredients. Better off just going to Starbucks, especially at the price. Side note, you can't go inside. It is filled with junk/boxes and a table blocking the front door where you order. I'm assuming this is due to the pandemy (we're still doing that?) Either way their presentation is really poor. I wasn't a fan. read more

We stopped here for a leisure Saturday breakfast. We ordered made fresh breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The food and drink were delicious and the atmosphere was cozy. If you are looking for a great local place to enjoy your coffee (and supporting small businesses) you should stop here! read more

The atmosphere in this cute coffee shop is inviting. Very home town vibe. They have great Coffee!!! Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I've been drinking Happyrock for years! When I was in oregon I would go in and grab coffee. I love the Lavender but honestly everything they make is incredible. Now that I'm back in CA I still order beans and nothing compares! I got my family drinking Happyrock coffee now too! read more

Great coffee. Fun place to hang out and meet friends or making some new ones. Can't wait till they re-open

Horrible coffee and even worse customer service. Starbucks burnt roast is better than this place. Don't waste your time (or money).

Well, the barista was very kind, we experienced the owner coming into the shop through the back door reaching in front of my husband and I to drain a carafe of coffee, never greeting us, never saying hello, only making a rude comment about draining the pot in her own shop. Horrible service. I would never go back. read more

Great coffee and great service. To be sure this is an opinionated place but at least they walk the walk!

The staff was very easygoing, the shop had a very nice country feel, with excellent coffee. I had an Americano with soy, and the perky, red-haired barista poured it right up, even offering suggestions on other roasts to try for next time. There is wifi, outdoor seating and one of the most unique aspects of this shop, is that they roast their beans right inside the customer seating area, which serves as a treat to see for those who get chills of joy at the sight and smell of freshly roasted coffee. read more

Happyrock Coffee Roasting - Easy to spot from the street! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gladstone, Oregon

I picked this place out of the blue today. The shop is tiny and eclectic, and the customers all seem to be old friends. I was easily pulled into conversation, and the barista was friendly and accommodating, but not overly peppy. The Americano was dark and smooth, and I was glad to see Stevia on the shelf. The wifi is fast, but the shop was a little grubby. I'm enjoying the sunshine on the back patio though! read more

Happyrock Coffee Roasting - The patio out back - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gladstone, Oregon

Great coffee, the jaw grinder was a delicious eye opening experience! Friendly people and prompt service. read more

Pay w square. I ordered a coffee pop which was interesting...coffee, syrup, cream and seltzer. I don't think I'd get it again but I'm glad I tried it. And I did drink the whole thing. Live music...it was a fun family kind of event w guitar. I liked the feel of the cafe. But it was kinda dark and def chilly today. The music was great, big band. And the guitars were all over the board. There's parking outside for four hours and free WiFi. Everyone seemed to be ordering eggnog lattes so maybe I'd try that when I go back. Loved the local collabs! Molly Muriel soap on site made w Happy Rock grounds. And Fearless Brewing's porter w coffee. Yum! Cute patio out back. Staff was friendly. Wish there was more lighting. Overall, cool place! I'll be back. Also I'm not a coffee connoisseur... Is pour over avail as iced? I love iced coffee but the closest options were americano or ...? read more

Thank you Lisa for doing coffee right. I'm a semi snob now, spoiled by your coffee shop. I go out of my way whenever I'm in the pdx area, to stop by Happy Rock. There is no better mocha! I've sent your coffee as gifts to friends both internationally and within the US. I love supporting your locally owned shop and the conscientious buying you do. read more

First time going and I already fell in love. Their barista really knows what their doing and made some incredible drinks for my boyfriend and I. Left with a bag of beans even! read more

This neighborhood coffee shop is The Best! Coffee is delicious and the staff and owner are friendly and very welcoming. A 'must visit' whether or not you live in the area. I cannot wait to get over there for the coffee and the friendly, welcoming vibe!! Thanks Happy Rock .. read more

This place rules - super nice staff, delicious coffee, delicious bagel, cute patio, great location, good place to stop on a bike ride (though I must say there is ample parking with any mode of transport.) I had cold brew and a bagel and was glad I stopped, I will be back! read more

Best coffee in the area. Local, house roasted, and quality. One of my favorite places to coffee. The Dirty Hippy Latte is good and so are their bagels (perfectly toasted and lots of cream cheese). read more

This is a unique little coffee shop in Gladstone. The barista, Lisa is very knowledgeable about coffee and does a fantastic job roasting beans. I am currently hooked on a seasonal but she has several great regular roasts. I am dairy free do extra kudos to Lisa for offering hemp milk as one of the dairy alternatives. Overall an excellent place to hang for java!! read more

Happyrock Coffee Roasting - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Gladstone, Oregon

I find it kinda cluttered/dirty inside. I remember about 15 (?) years ago when the place opened. The family kept the place clean, but still manage to make the place feel welcoming. 3 blocks up the road on my way to work I took that first taste and well..... I think she forgot the coffee. read more

Ubered over hoping to find a nice little place to have a feast cup of coffee in a cute space. Instead greeted with a zero entrance policy for sit down or even ordering. Another example of going beyond cdc guidelines in Portland. Decided to leave and walk 3/4 a mile to a different place. Enough Portland!! Hope you survive. read more

Love this place! The staff is awesome Margo hands down amazing barista, she pulls the shots just right even for my delicate needs on an americano and remembers how I like it. Venessa and Christina also rock the mixed coffees and style up some winning combinations. These ladies know their stuff, ask any of the three about the drinks teas etc and they will take care of you. They make their own in house espresso whipped cream. The beans are award winning and fresh even to take home whole or ground. Yummy bagels and cream cheese. I always leave happy. Just wish there was no smoking outside allowed here the ashtrays gross me out. Other than that this a fantastic stop. read more

This little known coffee shop in downtown Gladstone has the best coffee. I don't know why more people don't know about this place. If you live in Clackamas County you don't need to drive all the way to Portland. Actually, I live in Portland and I drive there for my cup of joe. -Its a micro roaster -It's laid back -The coffee is great -no attitudey hipstes -the regulars play cribbage read more

Super cute little coffee shop! They have a specialty menu with some really unique tasty drinks. I ordered a cappuccino and one of the specialty drinks, a German Chocolate Mocha. They were both DELICIOUS!! The cappuccino was on point and the German Chocolate Mocha was perfect, just enough syrup without being too sweet. I highly recommend stopping here, even if it's a little out of the way. I will definitely be back for more! read more

I'm never out in Gladstone, but had to come out here to meet someone at the DMV. I was in need of an iced refresher and found Happyrock. Happyrock is a great little coffee shop that knows what it's doing! They have some delicious looking drinks on their menu...lavender limeade, balsamic strawberry italian soda and horchata with espresso. I ordered my usual...an iced americano! I feel a little guilty since I probably won't ever make my way out here again, but the americano was delicious! The barista with purple hair knows how to pull great shots! Indoor and outdoor seating. Home-y and lived-in feeling. Possibly an old house? I'm here at 12:45 on a sunny Thursday afternoon. It's pretty empty, but it could be due to this weather! There is only one pastry left...a chocolate croissant. So either this place is so popular that they are sold out, or they don't start with many pastries in the first place. Bottom line...great espresso and friendly employees. read more

I went here for coffee a long time ago and haven't been back since, although my wife has (and liked it). I'll say this: whoever served me at the time was very nice and friendly. So service is good... I just don't like their coffee. They like to roast dark, and I like light. At the time, I faulted them for it (with a lower rating), but now that I understand roasting more, I realize there's nothing wrong with what they're doing. Some coffees are best dark, and they just prefer those coffees. The only reason I'm not raising the rating to 5-star (which was deserved otherwise) is that, when I went many months ago, the coffee beans didn't have roast dates on them. Even if they really are fresh, it always helps knowing how old the coffee is. Anyway, I think it's great that the community likes them, and as they're friendly, I say why not just go try them if you're hankering for coffee and in the area? read more

Stopped here mid-bike ride since I'd seen it referenced as the only coffee shop in the tiny township of Gladstone (it was also referenced as "excellent" in my Biking Portland). I'm not a coffee drinker and was actually hoping for a good pastry, but the pastry case was pretty empty and that's clearly not the focus at Happyrock. However, the ginger-peach tea was fresh-brewed and delicious and the gal at the counter could not have been friendlier. It's a tiny shop, curiously cluttered but totally inviting. On this Sunday morning, there was a (local?) folksinger strumming and singing away for the three patrons present--he was really good! I'd stop here mid-ride again and look forward to doing so! read more
