Happy Bean Coffee Shop is one of my favorite local spots for coffee in Mount Vernon! It’s always spotless, welcoming, and filled with such positive energy. The staff is friendly and the drinks are consistently delicious. I recently tried the Spiced Hot Apple Cider and it was amazing!
I love that they offer a variety of table sizes — whether you’re working solo on your laptop or meeting with a group, there’s a comfortable space for you. Plus, they have a fun selection of local products like maple syrup, books, and coffee mugs that make great gifts or little treats for yourself.
Highly recommend stopping in for great drinks, friendly faces, and an uplifting atmosphere!

This coffee shop has just the right vibe, feels like a local place most of the people are doing some remote work, and some families and local can also be spotted at this place, they have a good amount of products like candels, scents, and coffee to go

Nicely set in the older part of Mount Vernon. In a very large location. Very clean and modern wooden tables. The metal chairs is the only negative thing I will say. Too many shops and restaurants use these absolutely horrible metal chairs. They may look nice but are a terrible to sit on. I wish companies would stop buying these and get back to nice wooden chairs. The three shots of espresso I got was perfect. The staff is amazing and super nice. Their prices are very low compared to most coffee shops. More comfortable seating like sofa and loveseats would be perfect. Their selection of teas are very impressive also. The muffins are delicious. Really give this place a chance if you have not been.

What a wonderful place! I could have spent all day in here! My seasonal blueberry pancake latte was beyond delicious, but I was so appreciative of ALL of the options, particularly the homemade flavorings and local maple syrup — such a nice touch! The variety of the menu is amazing, and I cannot wait to go back and try more. They serve Fairlife milk, too, which I’ve never seen at a coffee shop before, but was so appreciative of. I had a blackberry oat bar that was homemade and absolutely delectable. Staff were so friendly and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, cozy, and cheerful. They truly go above and beyond to make the experience special, from the smiling beans drawn on each cup to the array of gifts and treats available around the store. I had the most amazing afternoon at Happy Bean and cannot wait to return!

Wonderful selection of items that are fairly priced. I was able to get all of the items I needed for my home coffee and tea brewing setup with quality materials and beans here. The coffee and tea is especially fresh and with markings for roastings and discounts for older batches. The selection was quite great too for a local coffee shop. The service by the two people working there, a lovely lady and gentleman were extremely courteous and went out of their way to find some coffee filters for me and to offer their recommendations and personal tastes on the coffee they had for sale. I didn’t get to try some of their coffee as I was coming in for the materials I needed, but I’ll be sure to come back to try some of their coffee and tea! P.S. I got a great smelling car diffuser as well!

Was down in Mt. Vernon for the weekend. Found this lovely little coffee shop. Coffee, amazing. Food, even better. I got a mocha with hazelnut and a chedder/chive scone. Phenomenal! 10/10 recommend. Will be going back.

I really enjoyed the (hot) Blackberry Latte. My wife got the (hot) Chai Tea Latte and she really enjoyed it too. The atmosphere was cozy. The smells were great. The service was helpful and fast. It was my first time but I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area. I didn’t try other coffee places but I would recommend this one all the same.

The Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie and the Oatmeal Bar with various types of fruit are AMAZING. Not only that, the owner and all of the employees couldn’t be kinder. The environment is always clean and welcoming. I go there often to work on my computer or just take a minute to myself. I love Happy Bean! Such a Mount Vernon gem!

A busy little coffee shop located in downtown Mount Vernon, Ohio. Happy Bean is a bright and joyful place to study, have a meeting, or just hangout with friends enjoying a coffee, tea or pastry, though it’s important to note that they don’t serve food other than light pastries.
One unique thing about Happy Bean that is sure to catch your eye is every hot drink is served with an encouraging message written on the side of your cup, and after talking with several patrons it seems that each little message was somehow a piece of sunshine to whatever day they were having. Good or bad.
Happy Bean is located inside Mount Vernon Nazarene University’s, Hunter Hall building, on the first floor just as you walk into the building from Main Street. The atmosphere of Happy Bean is different from what we’ve experienced in other coffee shops, apart from the bustling and sometimes noisy background, there seemed to be a sense of community among the patrons, partially due to several of them being students at the same University; however we also gathered that pastors from local churches and business owners frequent the shop and are inviting and fun to talk with!
The staff likewise mirror these attitudes; they helped us fumble our way through the menu, and also told us what their personal favorite drinks are. Overall we rank Happy Bean 4 out of 5 stars. It’s clean and fun, and definitely a good choice for an afterwork meeting with a friend or even a cute, relaxing date with your loved one. We recommend their Mocha and the Berry Jam tea with Lemonade. 🙂
