Food was fantastic. The setting is nice and cozy. Service was excellent. Highly recommended

Had the best time at this cafe! Went every day (sometimes twice a day) during our stay in Barbados. Great food and lattes! Nick and Ruth are so kind and created a great space to grab breakfast. Don’t pass up on the red velvet pancakes, I wish I had gotten a photo of those. They are thin and not too much, perfect to eat for a mid day pick me up and still feel comfortable to head to the beach! Can’t wait to see Nick and Ruth again during our next visit. Highly recommend!!!

Without doubt the best place I had breakfast in Barbados. There weren’t many places where I felt I got good value or indeed quality whilst in Barbados but here I got both in abundance. The owners are super cool and friendly too, you can tell they are genuine and care about their customers.

Rum and Raisin pancakes, that was it for me, so good! Excellent customer service along with delicious food makes for a great time at Happy Days. They were so nice and helpful. Everything was excellent.

Friendly staff and good selection of food for breakfast and brunch. Entertainment provided by the cockerel, hen and chicks. Takes Credit cards.

Wunderbarer Ort für ein leckeres Frühstück. Alle Gerichte werden frisch zubereitet. Relaxen und genießen Sie in angenehmer, ruhiger Umgebung. Zuvorkommender Service.

I decided to go to Barbados for 3 days… googled this place because I wanted a quality breakfast/brunch type of meal… well; baybayyyyy: this is it!!! The atmosphere: amazing, customer service and quality breakfast and food options; with generous portions- made from love… I’m soooooo glad that I decided to take a chance. Listen…the best eggs, French toast… caramel latte… umm ummm umm… I cried for joy after eating my meal! The staff is 100 percent customer service focused. Certainly a first class experience… the ambiance of the courtyard and quaint tables…. I’ll be back…! Thank you Happy Days Cafe!!!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕and there is a friendly yard fowl 🐓 roaming around… she’s super friendly!!!!

This is our return visit to Dover Beach and Happy Days was our first breakfast visit, we weren't disappointed! We had an array of food between our party of 6 from traditional breakfast, omelettes, pancake stacks and cinnamon toast. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, it was plentiful tasty and good value for money. It will definitely be part of our breakfast plan during our stay. And as always Nick, Ruth and the team were perfect hosts 😎

Nice cafe with a good atmosphere. Food was decent, had the set breakfast #4. Theres a lot of chickens walking around the cafe which is kind of cool.

Didn't have food, just drink. Noticed the waiter/owner was wearing a Garmin watch and asked if he had his charger with him as mine appears to have stopped working, or the watch has died. He didn't but he's going to bring it. That's excellent service

Great breakfast place with a friendly staff!

What a find! Nick, Ruth and their team were so welcoming and helpful when I was recently on holiday. The service, food (which is all cooked to order) and atmosphere was excellent. The coffee was freshly brewed and excellent every time. I highly recommend for breakfast, brunch or lunch and I will definitely be visiting again when I go to Barbados. Thank you Nick and Ruth for our chats come rain or shine! 🌞☔😘

Beautiful place for breakfast. I had the most delicious red velvet pancakes with blueberries, whipped cream and maple syrup. The coffee was great and so was the freshly squeezed orange juice. The cafe is close to Dover Beach and the service was from all members of staff was so kind, calm, friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic little place with French Toast to die for!

Super tasty breakfast place nestled in a courtyard of souvenir shops. We had the French toast and pancakes and both were delicious. The cafe owner and staff are super friendly and there was a nice relaxed vibe. It's a popular spot and accepts card payments. We loved watching the chickens roam around!

Excelente desayuno

First thing to know is that the food is made with love. You can taste it in the food. We stayed in Barbados for a week and went here for breakfast/lunch every single day ordering different stuff. Everything was great! Nick is absolutely amazing and his wife the cook, flawless. Can’t say enough good things about this place.

We had a very tasty breakfast here this morning. I had the salmon bagel and my partner had the big English breckie, all cooked to perfection and quality ingredients. See you in the morning 🤭

Happy Days Cafe was brilliant for breakfast. It did have a very friendly 🐔 around, so if you don't like birds, it's not for you. I recommend having blueberry and banana pancakes or full English breakfast. 😋

We had breakfast here twice during our stay in Barbados and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was excellent and arguably the best breakfast on the island (and certainly compared to others on St Lawrence Gap!)

Lovely place for breakfasts. They do the best French toast and iced coffee in the world. Really lovely waiter there too. We ate here every morning we were staying locally and can't wait to come back! Loved seeing the chickens and the cute cat while we visited too!

Best breakfast in the whole Barbados! Me and my wife spent several days at the Happy days cafe and we couldn’t wish for more. Delicious breakfast, lovely vibes and two beautiful people running the place, Nick and Ruth. Those two know a thing or two about making you feel at home!

It was great to be back at Happy Days Cafe, thank you for the yummy blueberry pancakes with plenty of syrup😋. We’ll be back!

If you are in Barbados you have to stop by this little but amazing place! Food is amazing, service is great and the people are sooo nice and attentive!! Love it love it love it!!!

Great place in the mornings for breakfast. Good people, good service from them, friendly. Good food and coffee is good. Nice shops around so worth a visit.

Breakfast is always excellent, and the staff are friendly. A relaxed experience.

Lovely staff. But breakfast menu is quite basic. If you're after baked beans and toast, this is your place. However, if you want fruit, avocado or poached eggs you won't get it.

Well the rum and raisin pancakes were the Bomb The cool smoothies made with care The chickens were funny 😆

Great breakfast! Friendly service. Best breakfast in the area.

William & Sasha What can we say that already has not been said. Best breakfast and lunch on the Island, value for money and two of the hardest working people who run this gem. Ruth who is the chef, amazing and not forgetting Nick who knows nothing about cricket (shame on you). Would come in and the banter would start, food and banter set us up for the day. So if you staying at the Gap or just paying a visit we can't recommend this cafe enough. To Nick, Ruth, Shawnette and Charlotte thank you. William & Sasha

A good place for a leisurely breakfast in St. Lawrence Gap. The place was quite busy (even on a Thursday in March), so we shared a table with other diners. The portions are large, especially for the hungry man plate (a short stack of pancakes, scrambled eggs, chicken sausage and pork bacon), though the plate of pancakes and chicken sausage was also quite substantial. Three things to note: their chicken sausage was especially flavorful, their jam was a red fruit jelly that was reminiscent of Hawaiian Punch, and you might have to defend your food from the resident chickens.

Excellent food, prices and service! Cute little place tucked away at the end of the gap near Dover beach

If I could give 10 starts for the service and food I would! My husband and I have just returned from Barbados/Dover Beach and wish we could walk across to eat at Nick’s place- truly Happy Days! Genuine, Accommodating, Friendly! Regardless of how busy, Nick and his wife got, they always took time to meet every guest and have a quick catch up! If you want a wholesome, home away from home cooked meal…this is the place to go. We tried the omelet, pancakes, various eggs- always perfect. And out of all the coffee places we tried; this was the best coffee I had on the island. Look forward to returning!

I am British born bajan and I came to visit but this time I stayed in the gap at Southern Palms hotel and had the luxury of staying across the road from this gem of a place. The food is phenomenal, the service was spectacular and it felt like I was dining with my cousins. I am a fan and will be telling everyone and following the business

Nice set up, coffee was too hot but food was good. Busy place.

Best breakfast in the area. Good choice and refill coffee. Nice, strong coffee as well. Wonderful , smiling, attentive service. Food comes out quickly, fresh and warm. Expect to wait for a table at times.. it's popular, but worth it. Loose chickens are an issue. Beware. Flies also. Expected with the climate and outdoor eating.

A quick lunch. We had omelette and a salad. Fresh and tasty. Highly recommended

Great breakfast, great service. The last shop behind this cafe 'One Love Craft shop' is a real Bajan jem too!

Noticed many people advising to go here for breakfast. Did not disappoint, lovely food, good service and nice atmosphere and surroundings

Amazing breakfast - so nice to watch the chickens and chicks too! Breakfast in a really cool spot with w lovely view of the brightly coloured chattel houses. We had an omelette and French toast and it was perfection!

The eggs were okay but the sausage and beans didn't meet my expectation.

I had banana pancakes, they were okay but I wouldn't get them again. The caramel latte was okay but needed to be hotter. The place itself was hard to find because Google maps stops you before the bit you have to turn down to find it but the locals are friendly and helped me find it. The service was good and they were friendly so I might go back and try something else.

Food was good. Service was painfully slow. Close to an hour to get eggs and bacon.

Great place for breakfast but service was extremely slow! We waited almost an hour for our food!

We were here two years ago and had breakfast/brunch here almost every day. The service was great. The food was great. A really wonderful family team - they take pride in their service and food. Delicious! We are going to Barbados again in a few months and looking forward to seeing them again! Generous portions of food! Everything (especially the bacon) was cooked perfectly. The coffee was delicious. We love Happy Days - best place to fuel up for the day.

Great food and staff. Food delicious and friendly staff in a relaxed atmosphere.

The food here was excellent as well as the service. Their French toast and pancakes was delicious, I also had an omelette and we were served very quickly. This restaurant is a must visit if you’re visiting “The Gap”.

Had a fantastic lunch at happy days Café. Enjoyed a nice shaded table with a cool breeze, fresh delicious salads with grilled chicken that was so tender.The catch of the day was wonderful too Staff was so nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

Good food and great service. Cash only. Great place for breakfast. My eggs were perfectly done. The roosters and chicks running around were very entertaining. Oh, and there are some cute shops in vintage chattel homes surrounding the courtyard where we were sitting.

This is the best breakfast spot in St. Lawrence. The eggs can't get any fresher and the pancakes are made of clouds. To top it off, you will be accompanied by some fun and respectful "chickentainment" Will definitely be coming back!

Very relaxed atmosphere. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The flatbread with egg and turkey ham was delicious so was their mint shake. Owners are environmentally friendly as well as we received no plastic. Straws were from card and cups were either metal (water) or glass(shakes). Will definitely go again.

Best Breakfast in Barbados! Gluten free pancakes, traditional English breakfasts, lunch specials. “Best pancakes ever”,says daughter. Nick & Ruth always treat you like family. Note, it is cash only.

Great breakfast, nice people, super chill & helpful. Cash only - keeps prices down!

This was the BEST breakfast I’ve had on the island!! I had the breakfast hotdog with scrambled eggs and a side of beans and just HAD to order one to go!

Wonderful experience, tasty food & good atmosphere. A lovely hidden gem.

Good food nice staff.

Great Memories here growing up. We went every morning!

I think the pricing was deceptive. Omelette was supposed to be $4.99 on special for a cheese omlette. I was charged twice that because I ordered a ham and cheese omelette...the regular price even though the ham could have been charged as an add on. The server was not very cordial...in fact she was kinda cold. Couldn't even say your welcome when told thank you.

Breakfast of champions

Great service!

The french toast was noice!!

Good American breakfast

Lovely place & wonderful staff. Very relaxing

Was a really nice place for breakfast

Drinks were good but not a fan of the greasy food.

Eggs, toast n more. It’s all worth it!

Great food, and chickens for company

We visited this place nearly every morning for breakfast. Good menu great food and excellent service. Don't miss out.

Perfect spot for breakfast. Came here 3-4 times. Relaxing environment, nice staff and great food!

Great little find set back off the Gap. We ate breakfast there on more than one occasion. The staff were all very polite and attentive, Nicholas supplying the banter. Cockrels and chickens running around for entertainment. Great value for money. Highly recommend.

The best breakfast in St Lawrence Bay

Great service great food

Excellent food.

Beautiful food beautiful people 😎🇧🇧

Great service and breakfast

We were viewing the menu and were viewing ‘my friends places’ next door, the woman shouted from happy says cafe ‘you need to shut the menu’ sorry i didn’t realise I worked here. Very rude.

Good lime

A great outdoor spot to chill

Just wanted a cool drink outside was hot!!

Great food, fast & friendly service. Could sit and chat with the owners all day. Highly recommend!

Excellent service

(Translated by Google) Tasty and inexpensive. Great for lunch (Original) Вкусно и недорого. Для обеда отлично

Decent breakfast for the price.

Our go to place for breakfast only because my husband loves doubles. The food is nice.

Amazing food and wonderful owners.

Fantastic breakfasts. Great value for money

Lovely food homemade burgers gorgeous. Very friendly. Defo give it a try

Always fab

It deserves 10 stars! Staff is very friendly (the chef even remembered my order from the day before!), prices are excellent and the food is amazing. Best restaurant experience I had in a long time. Too bad I discovered them at the end of my trip. Please open a restaurant in Trois-Rivieres, Canada! 😛

Great breakfast place, very friendly. Needed an extra shot of coffee in the Latte, overall a lovely place for breakfast. We had the rum & raisin pancakes with a side of crispy bacon

The sweetest setting and the sweetest staff! They are friendly, helpful, and remember you and your holiday plans. Food is delicious too. Service is average, as they are busy. Well worth visiting. Will miss thia place!

Wonderful breakfasts to set you up for the rest of the day. Friendly service, and keen attention from the chickens, in a quaint courtyard setting (chattel village). Excellent value for money.

Fantastic, friendly, laid back place with plenty of chickens running about. Omelette with olives, green pepper and cheese - simple but just right, especially with a touch of hot sauce. Outside seating in the courtyard is so relaxing and unhurried. Thanks for great service.

Excellent place for breakfast, particularly the cinnamon French toast. Lovely hosts, nothing too much trouble. Our go to breakfast place for the holiday.

Highly recommended! The cafe is so close to Dover Beach and offers delicious comfort food that is far cheaper than in hotel/resort restaurants. It’s also open on Sundays which is a big plus. Staff are very kind and greet you with a big warm smile. My husband ordered a breakfast hotdog and I got an omelette. Both were scrumptious. We would love to come back the next time we’re in Barbados.

Tastiest meal we’ve had on the island so far. Highly recommend for lunch, we had the Chicken Italia, everything was so fresh. The owner couldn’t have been more helpful or friendlier, we decided while they were cooking that we wanted to walk down and eat on the beach so they packed all our food up to takeaway (all in biodegradable packaging). Looking forward to coming back before we leave. 11/10.

The service was great, the food was really good. I got their red velvet pancakes and they were delicious and they werent too sweet which is good for me. The only thing I didnt like was the chickens because they can get a little rowdy and they leave droppings everywhere.

Hands down the best place to have breakfast. Just get there early so you don't have to wait for a table. We've been going there for several years. Nick seemed genuinely happy to see us when we showed up this year, shaking our hands and welcoming us back. I don't usually enjoy sausages much, but their chicken sausages are really good. The eggs are always done perfect. And you have chickens and chicks wandering around entertaining you. Something to look forward to instead of cooking. See you next year Nick!

What a great find, I researched this place before flying out knowing it was close to our hotel. Wow what a gem of a little place, service was fantastic friendly team. Food fresh and hot, I loved the omelette and on a few occasions added some sausages to the side and they were nice to, not fatty or greasy. My wife had the scrambled eggs often and the girls switched between a few set menus. Prices are fair, we didn’t eat at lunch time as tended to manage with breakfast until the evening so can’t comment on the day menu. Visiting in July we always managed to get a table without a wait in the mornings. You have to try this place out if staying on or close to the gap.

Came here several times during our holiday because the food was so delicious. The cafe is in a colourful and breezy spot right by Dover beach so perfect for a post-swim bite to eat - cinnamon French toast was particularly amazing! Plus the people who work there are fantastic. Great experience all round.

This café is owned by a couple. When my order arrived, there was something missing, so I asked whether it was coming. Nick, who is the co-owner of the business with his wife, responded with a rude tone: "I've only got one arm". A simple "yes, it's coming" would have been sufficient. For context, one of his arms is in a sling. After I finished my order and proceeded to pay, I told him that I felt his response was disrespectful. To my surprise, he was completely dismissive. His facial expression said it all. As if he wanted to say... "so what?" I told his wife that I won't be returning to their business; and as I was walking away, he said "even better, I won't need to be nice to you." What did I do to deserve such arrogant, rude and disrespectful behaviour? I was a regular customer at this business, but I will never be returning again. And, please, don't give me this **** about "cultural differences". Give me a break! He knew he was rude, even his wife couldn't ignore the fact he was rude because she tried apologising on his behalf. This is the excuse that people from this region use to get away with taking money off British, American and Canadian visitors and residents while slapping them in the face. You are just a bank machine to these people. If only Nick chose to apologise instead of being rude to me again, after I had raised the problem with him, they might not have just lost a long-term customer. As for Happy Days Café, the main problem with this business is that customers (usually tourists) are feeding the chickens incessantly, which has caused the chickens in this area to become so aggressive. I've even had a chicken jump onto my lap to take food off my plate, and if you read other reviews, you'll notice that others have had the same experience. Nick and his wife are not doing enough to stop customers from feeding the chickens. Tourists do not understand that the chickens are wild animals, but I think it's fair to blame the business for it, because they are not doing enough to make their customers aware that chickens must not be fed. I have repeatedly suggested placing notices on the tables.

Went twice. Both times got there slightly before it opened(had plans later that morning). Let me sit and look at menu. Food came quick and was great. Staff was friendly.
