    First time getting breakfast here. Very typical donut shop. The bagels were pretty good! Nothing too fancy, but you get what you buy here. Parking can be hard. Prices are very reasonable. It wasn't too busy for a weekday morning. Overall, not bad for bagels.

    This donut was quite literally life changing. The apple fritter I got was absolutely ginormous and so yummy. I also got some donut holes which were pretty addicting.

    Chocolate log donut filled with Bavarian cream, YUM!

    My husband and I LOVE this place! The owners are so sweet and kind. The donuts are obviously great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The coffee is really good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] BUT - these breakfast burritos are NOT to be slept on. Seriously so so good! They're big too! I can't recommend enough. Also, I cannot stress enough how friendly all the staff is, just a wonderful family. We usually come with our dog and take turns inside placing our order and take it to go. One day we'll eat there, it's a great little donut/breakfast shop. Absolutely love it!

    Pretty good donut.  Very happy.

    Great hole in the wall. Good was surprisingly good. Loved the sandwich. Great donut but I've had better. Either way, I'm very happy

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fresh doughnuts, Yummy sandwiches, good coffee, Friendly staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Nice and cozy inside. Thank you

    My wife normally can't eat half in one sitting but the taste was so good it gave her eating superpowers

    High-level breakfast burrito at a small Cambodian owned donut shop in Daly city, made fresh to order and delicious. The ingredients are well spread and portioned, pico de gallo is wrapped in the burrito, and the tortilla is great. Every bite contributes to the greater whole and you get some of everything in each mouthful. The only place I can think of in the bay area that is as good is rose donuts in San Jose. I saved half for my wife because I wanted her to try it and when she saw how large it was she told me she would only eat a couple bites and I could have the rest. She ended up shooing me away and killing the whole thing. Got a brewed coffee as well, it was OK. Breakfast burrito so good happy donuts deserves the full 5 stars.

    Ordered a #13 breakfast bagel with one dozen donut holes and had my cravings satisfied!! The lady in the front was so generous to give me an extra one dozen donut holes and I thought that was so sweet of her! Happy Donut is such a cozy mom & pop shop, that for sure looks like they get a decent amount of business in the morning. I went around 12pm and the donuts were mostly taken. I hesitated to get a breakfast sandwich , but was so happy I gave in. I may be over exaggerating, but for an ordinary sausage, egg and cheese bagel it was so GOOD! I didn't even get to take a picture of it because I kept eating LOL. Should definitely check this place out in the morning for some donuts and breakfast sandwiches! Carmina D recommended :D

    Went here for a quick breakfast before work and I'm so glad my boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place. Ive been living in Daly City almost my whole life and today was my first time.. definitely wont be my last! They offer a variety of sandwiches, donuts, and pastries all for an affordable price. We ordered two breakfast crossaint sandwiches: egg & cheese, and sausage, bacon, egg w cheese. They actually fry their eggs here instead of microwaving it and their crossaints were so fresh and fluffy! Never had anything like it. We also picked up an apple fritter to try and it was really good too. Their customer service was on point too, we left feeling very satisfied!

    "Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" - Back to the Future For what it's worth - a 1950's donut shop in a tiny strip mall - 5-stars! Especially if it's Sunday at 5:40am in the morning and nothing's open except Royal Donuts (with a customer base from Con Air), City Cafe (with like zero humans in there), hmm so I peruse Yelp for "coffee" and Happy Donut pops up! I'm in the area for another week house sitting my friend's 6-bedroom house. Yup, imagine the Brady Bunch house, sans Alice & the kids. As my friend tours Europe with his wife, I'm bestowed the honors of babysitting his dogs, cat, fish & Venus flytraps! So today is Sunday and my "off day". I realize that in the suburbs nothing really opens until the rooster crows! My motorcycle safely in San Francisco and first train ride into Clarksville not for another 2-hours - I'm literally stuck in the Brady Bunch house! Fortunately, Yelp is open 24/7 and it led me to a simple donut shop just 2-blocks from my friend's house. Happy Donut is in a tiny strip mall shared with a Laundromat, a Liquor Store, and something forgettable with Marty McFly passing by on his skateboard! Yet, if you're in need of a fantastic cup of classic coffee with the freshest donuts just south of Hill Valley High this is the spot to be! All in all, exactly what's needed in the 'burbs! Just don't expect fancy schmancy! It's a donut shop and nothing more. What impressed me the most is how clean, inviting, diverse, with a nice selection of the freshest donuts & croissants, and at least 8 different kinds of coffee! A small cup of smooth Joe runs about $1.60 and the freshest chocolate croissant for under $3.00. As I eavesdrop the Latinos in one corner, overpowering the morning news on the TV... I can't help smiling thinking about Marty McFly's mom... El Hottie! Hey, it's been awhile so don't judge how my mind wanders off into another era;) Time to catch my morning train...

I wished it had been toasted more instead of just warmed up. It was pretty chewy and the tomato bagel I chose didn't really taste any different from a plain one.

The location is also super convenient since it's next to Target, with a big parking lot and lots of other food/drink options nearby. Overall a good spot to stop by for a quick bite, but I would recommend asking them to toast it a little longer.

My peeps & I stopped by for a quick bite & left sorely disappointed. The bagels aren't cut in half & have a comical amount of cream cheese so a little gushes out with every bite. It was easier to eat the bagel open-faced. They're thin & not properly toasted which made for the worst plasticky texture. And sadly, I could count the number of garlic specks on each side of my garlic bagel. Unacceptable. I tried a bite of egg, cheese, & bacon on a sesame bagel. It was too eggy & too smoky. One of the most disgusting breakfast sandwiches I've ever tasted. The pleasant staff are the only thing saving House of Bagels from a one-star review.

I was in the area for work, and I needed something quick and easy as I was hopping from one biotech site to the next. This shop was conveniently nearby and free parking wasn't difficult to find (sufficient street parking + nearby neighborhood parking). The menu is pretty straightforward, offering a variety of basic and specialty sandwiches. Most of the basic sandwiches (the one meat options with standard toppings) were less than $10!! I opted for one of those sandwiches, getting the turkey sandwich on dutch crunch. From the cross-section of the sandwich, you can tell this is indeed a hearty sandwich. The quantity of meat they provide for the price is plentiful, and the ingredients making the sandwich all tasted fresh. The service was fast and friendly overall. There's no seating inside or outside, so I ended up eating this in my car. But for this price and quality, I'd do this again any day.

I've been exploring all the breakfast burritos in SanFran but this place is now also at the top of my list! I ordered a breakfast burrito with sausage and was happy with all the fillings - chunky potatoes, good amount of egg, onions, tomato, and chunky pieces of sausage in a spinach tortilla. (Instead of protein, my friend added avocado instead. And you can choose different types of tortillas - flour, whole wheat, spinach, and others) Just overall good and very filling. Not huge but not small either. The only thing I missed was salsa to put on it. Tapatio packets were given instead. (To be fair, these are Latin American-inspired breakfast burritos not "Mexican" burritos with salsa on the side.) Great breakfast burrito! Looks like there are other dishes to try.

The smoothie was alright, it honestly wasn't what I was expecting for a smoothie. It was really icy and watered down, I honestly probably wouldn't get it again. But the food was good. The cashier was very nice and accommodating. My original smoothie cup had been leaking a lot, so I asked if I could get a new cup and she didn't hesitate or seem inconvenienced to do it. I'm rating this place a 4/5 because I had better expectations for the smoothie. I would come here again for a quick breakfast bite and try something else on the menu too!

During both visits, I was served by the same, friendly cashier. There are plenty of seats inside (10-12) and some seats at the side patio. If you're looking for a decent value (Under $12 average) on a sandwich, Drip & Melt is your go-to spot for affordable sandwiches.

They also have all types of Baklavas, that were sweet, rich and decadent. I've even purchased my very Turkish Coffee and cezve - a small pot with a long handle designed to brew finely ground coffee over a stovetop or sand. The nice gentleman instructed me on how to brew Turkish coffee. I just googled the rest. Anyways, on my first visit, I ordered their Pastrami Wrap. It's basically Pastrami wrapped in a Pita with all the fixins' but with a twist on the sauce. If l'm not mistaken, it's either Tahini or Tzatziki sauce. It gave it a different flavor that was quite delightful. Be careful though as it can get messy as this thing will drip down your hands and clothes as I found out the hard way. On my second visit, I was so impressed by the wrap that I ordered it again. I was more careful to eat it this time around, but it still dripped down my shorts. That's what I get for eating in the car. They have 10 items on their Subs menu, and they all look good. Aside from the Pastrami Wrap, they also have chicken, roast beef and turkey. They have five meat-type subs and one tuna sub all reasonably priced starting from $10.95 to $14.95, which is a great deal in this day of age. The people working here are very nice and friendly. As I mentioned earlier, the gentleman who was providing me information on Turkish coffee was also looking out for my best interest. Instead of upselling me something, he gave me a more practical advice on what to purchase. All in all, a friendly and inviting place where they offer delicious and affordable sandwiches, to which I will certainly be back for more.
