Happy Goat Coffee Co. (elgin) - Ottawa

Attended Queers and Cheers this week and it was a wonderful event!!! I love to see wholesome, supportive queer spaces and am so glad Happy Goat is organizing events like these. I look forward to attending more!

Eclectic little coffee shop which offers inside and outside seating. The location was perfect for us as it was near our hotel.We loved the name and said we would try it before leaving town we were not disappointed!The staff was fun, interacted with patrons with genuine ease, and were very personable!Our Mocha and Coffee were delish so yummy!If I lived in Ottawa, I’d most definitely become a Happy Goat frequent visitor!!

Two visits and two annoying experiences. First time I waited a good 15 minutes for a decaf Americano while orders after mine were completed. I had to go up twice to make sure my order was made. Turns out the person I gave my order to didn’t tell the person who makes the coffee, even though they were only a few feet apart. They bickered about who was at fault while I waited. This week I ordered two iced chai lattes. It was hot chai poured over ice, resulting in a warm chai latte with zero ice. I don’t understand how that’s “iced”. With so many coffee shops to choose from this one will get a hard pass next time I’m on Elgin.

Good coffee but whenever I ask for a cup, they serve me in a paper cup anyway. And don’t bother tipping: there is NO service.I asked for a cup this time and the barista just poured the cortado into a cup. Goodbye foamy

Honestly disappointed frequently when coming here. The iced matcha lattes just taste like milk and has never improved. Also I ordered a bagel with cream cheese on the side and the bagel was burnt and they could only offer me a spoon to spread the cream cheese, also no baked goods or scones at 11am. The cashiers are kind so I don’t want to ask for a refund but man I haven’t had a breakfast this bad in a long time.
