    Super cute camper set up
    Krista M.

    Fourth stop on our LA River bike-and-matcha tour and honestly the cutest space of the day. The little camper setup is adorable, the vibe is so chill, and the employees are genuinely so friendly. I wanted to love this one more than I did, but unfortunately the matcha I ordered came with Chaga (mushroom?) which I hadn't expected or wanted and it wasn't really my thing. It was definitely my most "experimental" matcha of the day. Still, I'd come back for the space and service alone but would certainly hope regular matcha is available - hold the shrooms! This was the only stop of the day that I had been to before and I remember my previous experience being great, and receiving what I ordered!

    Wonderful little gem in Frogtown. My latte was yummy and my babies loved the play area. I wish there were more places like this in LA!

    Beautiful atmosphere, great coffee and nice view near the river. Hidden gem and fresh air all around

    Met the owner at Coachella funny enough lol. I love the area it's in, the barista that was there was very kind. Told me the history of the cart. The day I came in was cloudy which was perfect. Bring some sunscreen! Had the Ube Latte, amazing. The vibes of the area was very inviting.

    On a gloomy Saturday morning run near the LA River path we came across this cute concept café. Honestly, it's the best idea ever since so many people walk,run, jog, bike along the path so they couldn't have chosen a better place. We decided to stop by and get our coffee fix since that's what we do after we run so it was perfect. We checked out what they had to offer and spoke to the barista assisting us and he was so kind and insightful with all the events going on in Frogtown . The barista mentioned that they have been open for about a month and that this is more of a soft opening that they have going on, but I do hope that this location is there to stay in are open more days of the week because currently they're only open on weekends. I'm not quite sure how to get there if you're not walking along the path, but I know that there's a neighborhood on the other side of the river path and perhaps they'll have parking available. But if you're already walking along the river path, you'll definitely come across this coffee place. My friend and I both got the Tadaa cold brew latte, which is their vanilla hazelnut cold brew latte and we got vanilla oat milk cold foam. So that is pretty new to me and it wasn't that sweet as I don't really like sweet coffee drinks. Overall, I'm so happy that we stumbled across this place and it will definitely be another place to add as a coffee stop after our run.

    We just discovered the Happier Cafe!  ** Dogs Welcome **

    ** Dogs Welcome ** Canine community water bowl provided. **Vegan friendly for the humans** We discovered this great little spot while walking on the LA River path. The team member we spoke to was super nice. Told us they have been open for business for a few months. As you enter from River path there is a stand selling Vegan / non dairy Pineapple treat with waffle cone, made with coconut milk. $6. I don't drink coffee so I didn't check there but I'll take a photo next time. Cute seating areas all around. Lots of bright yellow chairs all around. Hours open right now- Friday, Saturday and Sunday 9a-5p. They are stop #3 on the Frogtown Flea Crawl. New to me I've added a Photo with that info until I find out more. Located on River path between former Marsh Park now Lewis McAdams Riverfront Park and Happier Camper's huge grey building.

    *Street Parking Only* Enter through the trail gate and turn left and walk until you reach the end of the warehouse. You'll find a gate entrance and sign for Tadda Coffee Happier Campier Cafe. Barista was very friendly and made our drink as soon as I finished ordering. The drinks were tasty and unique. This is an outdoor cafe where they make your drinks from a "Happier Camper". They have plenty room for you to choose an area to sit. There is also a small sandbox for kids. Very unique place to grab a refreshment on the trail or just relax. The music was perfect for the atmosphere they create. Tadda Cold Brew Latte- 9/10 They have their own vanilla hazelnut roast. The cold brew has great flavor without sweetener. If only the cold foam would last throughout the drink. Calamansi Iced Tea- 10/10 Great flavor and very refreshing. If you like a classic Arnold Palmer this is it with the a Filipino twist. This drink should be renamed to "Tito Boy's or Tito Arnold's Iced Tea".

    Chill outdoor cafe right next to the LA River but it's not your typical cafe. It's a patio area outside of a cool camper trailer factory called Happier Camper and the cafe is a small trailer where they make their coffees and teas. Plenty of tables and chairs to relax with your friends, family, or fur babies. The people here are very friendly and make you feel right at home. They offer cool events for the community like yoga, sound bath and mommy programs. Had their signature vanilla, hazelnut cold brew and iced lychee tea which were refreshing and not too strong. The owner, Scott is a very interesting person to meet. He's passionate about giving back to the community, coffee and is also a free spirited dancer, artist and performer. Love his energy and vibe here.

    This coffee shop exudes cuteness and happiness, making it feel like a whimsical adventure just finding it. With plenty of shaded seating and cooling misters, it's a comfortable spot to relax. The happy camper theme adds to the charm, and the Tadaa S'more mocha latte I ordered was not only delicious but also adorably rimmed with chocolate and graham cracker crumbs. The baristas were extremely friendly, dressed in fun, park ranger-type uniforms, enhancing the overall experience. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this delightful spot!

    Such a cool vibe. Matcha latte was off the chain. They were serving Greek food. I got to hear house music and also they had yoga in the morning. Great location by the La River. You can walk to other cafe while walking along that path while drinking your coffee

    Still waiting for them to reopen somewhere! Was a cute spot with good drinks. Loved going there!

    Pineapple soft serve, made with coconut base.

    Stopped by for vegan pineapple soft serve during the frogtown flea crawl. So delicious, and refreshing with how hot it was out. I'm honestly still thinking about it. The baristas were friendly! We had to wait a bit as the ice cream machine fought for its life in the hot sun, but I'm sure they'll figure that out. Will be coming back just for the soft serve, but I'll need to try the coffee too!

    Never a dull moment here.

    Where is the exact location, I went it's close?

    I believe they shut down, because I was there last month and both of the trailers were gone, they used be in the parking lot of of the Trailer camping business. I hope this helps to answer your question.

    Does anyone know when this coffee stand will return? I called then number but it only routed me to the manufacturer.

Upon walking up to their food truck, there was a family who brought their own chairs to camp out and enjoy their tacos fresh. I also noticed how they have a good selection of salsas, onion, cilantro, and accompaniments for the tacos for self serve. I really like the straight forward pricing. Tacos are only $2! You pick the protein. The cashier was friendly and efficient. My boyfriend had the Cabaza and Suadero Tacos and I went with an Al Pastor Taco. We got this additional foil pouch of tasty grilled onions, which were a nice surprise. Yum! They were pretty good for $2s. Not saying they're the best but they were convenient and good value. I would consider coming back if they were nearby and I need a quick snack. I'll have to try more of their proteins next time.

The cashiers here are friendly and lately they've been giving grilled onions with the tacos although I didn't get any tonight. They have three types of salsas, pickled onions, cucumbers/radishes, and limes that you help yourself to. This taco truck is on a street that's not too busy. There are short stools on the side for those who want to eat there. The area around the truck is clean. There's also a parking lot right next to it that you can park at. It's one of my favorite taco spots and I try to satisfy my craving whenever I'm in the area. Will definitely be back again soon!

    DO NOT COME TO THIS TRUCK!!!…read more I chose this truck late night last night out of 3 other Mexican food trucks on Eagle Rock Blvd and I regret it all the way. I would give 1 star but I'll give 2 just because the Asada Fries I ordered were decent. But for the prices they have??? Oh h*ll no. Who do they think they are charging people 21$ for a medium box of food. On the truck the price of the fries said 17.99!!!! That's already a lot but I decided to order them feeling like spending money for a good meal and when I order with the guy at the register you can just tell he wants your money. Obviously their business isn't going so well so they have to overprice. After reading the price on the truck the guy says ,"that'll be 21$". I'm in disbelief but I'm not cheap and have pride so I just gave it to him. These people are not for the community at all and I do not recommend. You'll be better off going to Leo's taco truck or the place in front of target. Listen to the reviews or you'll be money grabbed like me. I don't usually write reviews but I cant let that slide again. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't even get a fork with my meal and the make you get the sauce yourself. With prices like that you'd think they cater to their customers a little more. I promise you they don't care. Do not eat here.

Hard to find a place doing it this good. This is my 8th LA smash burger and it's definitely a top three contender! The ratios were on point. The lemon pepper fries were killer.

On top of that, they have both vegan and vegetarian options. Since it was affordable and I wanted to try all the vegan and vegetarian ones, I went ahead and ordered all three. I'm glad I did, because the tacos are small, so you really do need to order more than one to get full. When I placed my order, the cashier gave me a magnet. It made me laugh because they kept calling my name only to tell me it wasn't ready yet. The third time they called my name, it was finally ready. It seems that they were trying to get everything just right because when I finally did get my order, it was colorful and beautifully presented. It tasted great as well. When I went, the food truck was parked in front of Sooki Studio & Supply which had nice seating areas where people could eat.

The woman working was super nice and I asked her to make me two of her best things. She asked and I said there wasn't anything I didn't like. The beef and chicken tacos came up quickly and I decided to sit in the sun and drink my ice cold soda and dig into the gorgeous tacos! So pretty! I love when a place puts the extra effort in as that seems rare these days. I ate the chicken first and it was delish - but I saved the best for last / the pork taco was probably the best one I've ever had / especially with the added home made hot sauce that I was warned packed quite a punch. Happy for the warning I only used a few drops and it was taco perfection. Wil definitely be back to try them out again / the taco shells were home made as well - and blue!
