Delicious breakfast. Probably the best avocado toast ever had! Would definitely go back. The service was excellent and it's got a fun cheery atmosphere. read more

This place and the staff were a relaxed, hippy chic vibe - bright and cheerful. My eggs were cooked perfectly to order and the hash brown patties were like McDonald's but with more flavor and less grease. The sourdough toast was crispy and chewy, as you'd hope. The coffee was very good as well. read more

We stopped in for an easy breakfast on our way out of town and this place has now been added to our "must do" list when we're on that side of the state. Love the aesthetic of this place, it's the perfect amount of funky and fun. The food is incredible and portions are great - get the banana bread for the table! Make it fancy! read more

Food was great. Service was nice and the host was very nice. We sat outside and the weather was great for Father's Day.

Happystance puts their spin on traditional dishes. Great for breakfast and brunch. Service was amazing and the staff was so friendly and fun. Funky breakfast and retro decor. We will definitely be back when visiting the area. The hashbrown casserole was amazing. read more

The service was very good. But the food... meh... I ordered hash-brown casserole. It was tangy mush ...and was very expensive for the portion size. The fruit (3 sliced strawberries and 10 blue berries ) was TINY. I don't recommend. read more

Party of 6, we all loved our menu choices. Food was amazing, even the next day! I would definitely recommend.

Love this place! The friendliest staff and the most delicious hashbrowns. They even gave us to go cups for our coffee!

Best breakfast in town hands down ! Service was amazing. Food was extremely wonderful! Place is a such a vibe ! Must see and eat 10/10 read more

Happystance - Biscuits and gravy and a smash burger style with sausage - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Douglas, Michigan

Let me tell ya' about Happystance. This quaint corner food establishment is a little jewel in Douglas. the food was delicious, it arrived hot and everything was well seasoned. The service was excellent. it was a busy morning when we arrived and I had not had coffee ( and I can be Grinchy) but our waitress Gabby vanquished the Grinch. The ambiance is inviting (I was with my favorite Woman..my wife ) so the atmosphere was perfect. i encourage you to check out this restaurant. Great Coffee, Great food...... you can't go wrong for breakfast!!!! The owner is kind and warm and we will definitely have breakfast here again!!!! read more

I really wanted to like this place and support a local business. I've tried it twice and was disappointed both times. Overpriced mediocre food. I was with a large group and nobody liked their order. Not sure what to suggest for improvement. There's nothing charming about this place. read more

Amazing coffee (get the iced miel), breakfast sandwich, cinnamon roll and service! Loved everything about this place! read more

We enjoyed our meal here. The loaded banana bread was pretty decadent, but we both agreed that the bacon wouldn't have been necessary (and I'm a huge bacon fan, so that's saying something). We split the Benny and the sausage patty sandwich (can't remember the name of it). Both were good. A solid breakfast - a little pricier than I would have expected for most items, but in a resort-y town and with local ingredients, it wasn't out of line. read more

Adorable, cheery place! Very friendly with little ones, and the food was delicious! Not your basic biscuits and gravy or plain toast. Gravy was awesome, and blackberry (?) jam was house made...so good! read more

Happystance - Accent wall - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Douglas, Michigan

This is the cutest little breakfast spot in Douglas! The decor inside is super fun and whimsical. There are several items on the menu that you can "make bougie," where they basically add extra fun toppings. I got the banana bread and opted for the bougie version which added crunchy peanut butter, bacon, and toasted marshmallows. While it was delicious this is definitely something you should get as a started for the whole table to share. The potato's as a side were delicious and perfectly crisp. The service was fast and friendly! read more

I pick random places I've never been and this was the winner today. I stopped by, ample street parking, nice clean place inside, very friendly staff. They told me of the special so I decided that's the way to go, it was a double smash chorizo burger with a fried egg, avocado, tomato... it was really good, endless coffee and even a to-go cup. I would say this is a place to try if you're in that area. Well Done! read more

Happystance - Breakfast/lunch - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Douglas, Michigan

Arrived for lunch at 1:00 and requested an indoor table. We were seated at the front of the restaurant next to the reception area. It took 15 minutes to be greeted, given water and our orders taken. Waited for over 30 minutes for our plates that never arrived. Not one person stopped to check on us. We just left. read more

Bright, cheerful, great staff and great food!! If in Saugatuk or Douglas or Fennville, give it a try!

Went with a group of 6 adults for brunch. We were new to the area so we drove in from about 20 minutes out and called ahead, so they set aside a table for us. The ambience was cute and fun with a fireplace, a cute egg wall (pictured in the ambience section), and some small hidden trolls dancing along the ceiling decor. I also noticed a coloring page for kiddos. The place was somewhat small but tables did not seem crowded. We were able to have our own conversation without being interrupted by the conversations of others. The staff were very polite from the hostess, to the waitress, to the server. Collectively, we ordered a cinnamon roll, pumpkin bread, the standard, hash brown casserole, pattycakes, the sugar waffle, biscuits and gravy, and some mimosas. The cinnamon roll was about the size of a softball. It was very moist and had a rich glaze, served at the perfect temperature. The pumpkin bread tasted delicious and was not overly sweet. It was served with some candied nuts and a cream on top and sat on a thick smear of pumpkin ganache. It was slightly dense and dry but still worth it. The standard was your typical egg and meat dish. The eggs were cooked the way we ordered and the sausage links were about the size of an adult finger but very thick. The has brown casserole was a great size. Served in a bowl and full from tip to bottom, it had has browns, potato crunches, cheese, and we ordered with sausage gravy as well. It was thick, delicious and very filling, even for a big guy. The pattycakes are their pancakes. It came with three pancakes. They are large and not too thick, but enough to be fluffy and moist. they tasted sweet and of cinnamon. The butter added a nice richness and saltiness and served with syrup as well. Serve with fruit if you want a healthier addition. The sugar waffle was one of my favorites. It was a standard size waffle with your mix of a firm outer part and a fluffy inside. The best part was the addition of the topping of sweet cinnamon crunchies and an amazing maple Chantilly (think a heavy and sweet whipped cream that Lesley Knope would throughly enjoy). The biscuits and gravy came with two dense cheddar drip biscuits that probably could have stood on their own. They were a good mix of dense and fluffy. They were also not too dry. The sausage gravy was a darker brown and very peppery in a way that made me sweat, but it was very deliciously seasoned and went very well with the biscuits. It took everything I had to finish eating, but it was definitely worth it. Bring family, friends, adults, or kids and a joy an amazing meal at a fair price. read more

An incredibly welcome addition to downtown Douglas! Delicious food, super friendly staff. Highly recommend trying whatever special they have - the one we tried was creative and so tasty! Super fresh ingredients, innovative dishes...loved it!! read more

Happy stance was adorable, the vibe was hometown upscale breakfast brunch. A moderately sized menu with lots of variety. Gluten free options. And we sat in the private 2 person booth which was really relaxing. I got the recommended Hambo sandwich, SO GOOD! I liked it was different than downtown Saugatuck's breakfast offerings. Can't wait to come back! read more

Food was excellent. For sure going again. I had the club salad the bacon and the ham had the perfect smoky flavor and the house made ranch was amazing. My friends had the turkey witch and basically the hollandaise dish. read more

This was our second trip here. Let's start with the "breakfast" menu--as we went for that. Limited is the best way to describe it. No omelettes. So that we could have pancakes with our eggs, we had to order them separately. No value there. On the plus side--they were good. I ordered 2 eggs sunnyside. Let me ask you--HOW do you get a sunnyside egg hard in the TOP?? Well, that was mine. Now, we realize that in a "resort" area, things are a little more expensive. However, to be charged $2.00 for some extra syrup--and about 2 oz.--is beyond OK. Also, there is a list of all allergens--pretty extensive--but no sugar free syrup! Will not return read more

This absolutely charming new restaurant has an exquisite, fresh menu for breakfast. My daughter had French toast made from bread pudding with homemade ricotta cheese (insanely delicious). I had this Benny with poached eggs, ham, and fresh, local greens. The sauce was to die for. The service was fast and coffee kept coming. This is a destination experience. read more

Unique and delicious food. Very nice restaurant and staff. We came on Labor Day and they seemed to struggle horribly with timely order turnout but I'm thinking it was a fluke. read more

Perfect brunch to kick off a walk and browsing local art galleries! Fun spot with an entertaining menu and AMAZING pancakes (pro tip - we loved the "bougie" option!) Parking was easy and servers were warm and friendly. Be sure to ask the owner about the design of the drink menu cover :) read more

A welcome breakfast addition to the Douglas restaurant scene. This cheerful spot is fresh and friendly. The menu has some good options and my standard eggs and bacon was delicious. The only thing that needs improvement is the service, it was a bit too slow. Definitely recommend. read more

This is a bright cheerful breakfast/ lunch spot with great service and delicious food. Stop by!

Very nice fresh atmosphere and the food and coffee were great. Just 600 feet from our rental.

What a great spot, the owner was so friendly and our server was so smiley, cute and funny. The spicy chicken sandwich was fantastic. Happystsnce is our new breakfast/lunch spot when in Saugatuck and Douglas, move over Penny Royal! read more

Friendly staff, great food, and very quick service. This place recently opened but you wouldn't know it, service and food were both executed to perfection. I highly recommend the Benedict or the Stan. read more

Love all the large live plants they had around. If they take care of their plants you know they take care of the food. Great place for a meal with the family. Had a group of twelve and plenty of space for the family. Love that the servers provide the kids with a snack and container (markets/paper)to keep them occupied as we wait for the food. Went with the standard breakfast and it was amazing. The ham was thinly slice and bacon thick cut and cooked to perfection. The wife had the chicken special and said it was the best sandwich she had ever had. Happy we found this little gem. read more

We were there for breakfast. Cute place and nice service but limited menu. You can't get an omelette. We asked and the table next to us asked and answer was no. Pancakes were very good but the scrambled eggs were bland and tasteless. Said cheesy but I didn't taste any cheese at all. Also expensive. Won't be back. read more

Really enjoyed our breakfast. Staff were great. It's definitely got a lot of personality for the atmosphere. Overall really great experience. Looking forward to going back soon! read more

My wife and I stopped in here for breakfast before we left town. The staff was incredibly nice, the coffee is really good, and the food was amazing. Everything tasted fresh. Highly recommend. read more

I am a local resident and was excited to have Happystance Dinette open up for business. I have so far eaten here twice and both times I was in awe of just how delicious their food tastes. The Hambo remains one of the tastiest sandwiches I've had for lunch (ever) and the Benny (eggs benedict) was the best I have ever tasted for a breakfast option. Keep up the deliciousness! And, thanks. read more
