The Soul of Ottawa’s Coffee Scene: Happy Goat Coffee Co

Tucked away on Laurel Street, Happy Goat Coffee Co. pulses with a vibe that’s equal parts community gathering spot and specialty coffee haven. Founded in Ottawa in 2010, Happy Goat has grown from a humble garage operation into a leading Canadian coffee brand with over 14 locations. Their Laurel café exudes laid-back charm—think friendly staff, eclectic clientele, and a local spirit that invites lingering conversations over superb coffee. The shop is helmed by master roaster Dr. Hans Langenbahn, renowned for his research in Sudan and Ethiopia and his hands-on, scientific approach to roasting. Owner Henry Assad’s vision of excellence permeates every cup, thanks to Happy Goat’s steadfast commitment to direct sourcing and sustainability.

Happy Goat’s award-winning reputation is built on a diverse coffee portfolio: expect single-origin marvels from Ethiopia, Brazil, and beyond, alongside expertly crafted blends. Local roasting ensures each batch is vibrant and nuanced—don’t miss their Brazilian Mogiana Espresso, celebrated for its nutty, chocolaty profile and crowd-pleasing sweetness. Pair your brew with fresh baked goods or a sandwich from their generous food selection. Whether you’re an aficionado or simply seeking a cozy café, Happy Goat’s Laurel location stands out for its authenticity, expertise, and the unmistakable warmth of a true Ottawa original.
