The staff at Happy Pappys were extremely pleasant and welcoming. The way they interacted with other customers truly made this establishment stand out. On top of that, the specialty lattes were phenomenal -- my husband and I shared the Honey Bee, the Tiramisu, and the Toasty Caramel lattes, and I'm already thinking about the next time we can go back. Last but certainly not least, what made this experience so special were the sweet interactions the owner had with his customers, along with the pride he clearly takes in his establishment and its cleanliness. Whether he had known someone for years or had just met them that day, like he did with my husband and me, every person walked away smiling as if they were leaving their own Pappy's house. From the Mississippi Gulf Coast -- we will absolutely be back. read more

Be prepared to wait on your drink for a few minutes, but it is well worth it! We came in right ahead of a rush and the baristas handled it wonderfully. The iced lattes are reasonably priced, flavorful, and contain smooth espresso. They had a nice selection of breakfast pastries and even macarons. There was plenty of parking and ample seating. read more

Delicious coffee! The service was super nice as well. The kitchen was a little slow and when we went at around 9:30, it was really busy so we had to wait almost a half hour for our food. We just sat and sipped and relaxed. The breakfast sandwiches are made with their egg mixture so there's onions and peppers in it which makes them very flavorful! The apple cinnamon pecan muffin tasted freshly baked and was super good! It's cute inside and there is plenty of seating. This will be a repeat place for us. read more

I was looking for a coffee shop on the way home from vacation. I found a few options and decided to take a look at Happy Pappy's menu because something about the name stood out to me. I read their "about" story on their website and knew I had to go! The inside is super cozy and they have many options for food and drinks. The owner was in the back working along with everyone else, so they really are locally owned and operated. They were really busy and service was a little slow, but I had no problem at all waiting. To most, that might be a negative thing, but what I saw was how popular this tiny, local coffee shop was. That proves that the wait is worth while! If you're around the area, definitely stop by. read more

The tiramisu latte with oat milk and my hubby's honey bee latte were amazing! The English muffin sandwich was delicious and filling too! The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because at 9 a.m. they were sold out of the breakfast burrito, which is what my hubby had his heart set on. read more

When you walk in, it smells wonderful coffee in the air, people chatting, and the vibes are immaculate. The baristas were super helpful shoutout to Jadelyn! I was debating between a couple different things on the menu the beach blonde sounded good but I settled on the Honey Bee with a little caramel, and it was delicious not too sweet, with a nice undertone of honey and coffee flavor. Perfect for the morning. My lady got the Marilyn Monroe, and it was also great. The coconut flavor was amazing definitely sweeter than mine, but another great option. My only qualm is I sucked my drink down before I could get a proper picture. Thank you Happy Pappys for an excellent experience! read more

Visited here to grab a light later afternoon lunch to tide us over till the evening. This spot is set a little back from the main road and is unfortunately at time of writing sort of difficult to access (at least if you're headed into the area from Orange Beach) because of construction. Had to do a couple u-turns but I did finally make my way there! They have a cute patio and the inside is a total vibe! I could absolutely see myself hanging out here to catch up with a friend. It'd be nice to work in, too, though it was a little noisy at least on an early Friday afternoon. They serve coffee and some basic breakfast and sandwich items and desserts. There's obviously a bit of a Greek flair going here, which makes it fun -- Greek coffee, baklava, and a Greek grilled cheese. I wanted to get my order to go so I could bring some lunch back to my husband at the condo. The line moved quickly enough although my food wound up taking a little while. I'll blame the fairly large party ahead of me, though. I ordered the aforementioned Greek grilled cheese for myself and a Gulf Shores panini for my husband. Both sandwiches came with a bag of Ms. Vickie's chips. Since I wasn't satisfied with my coffee from a different shop earlier, I also decided to order one of their energy drink mixers. I was too scared I'd get burned on coffee again, lol. This one was called Shark Bite iirc and is made with Red Bull and strawberry and coconut flavors. I was really hoping it would taste like a Dutch Bros Shark Attack Rebel as that's a go-to of mine, but sadly it really didn't. The coconut flavor was suuuuper strong and it tasted artificial, which like...of course it is, lol, but it's nice to be able to fool yourself! Other than this little blip, though, our sandwiches were both delicious, especially the Greek grilled cheese. It tasted like spinach and artichoke dip on toasty bread, and who wouldn't love that? Service was super nice and responsive to my needs. Would recommend, would return! read more

Good for coffee. It's casual and great for coffee and dessert. Hard pass on the food, it's just meh and seems low quality.

So as I'm leaving gulf shores I stopped to get some coffee and this unsuspecting place was absolutely packed so I decided to get some food as well and man I was not disappointed! The ambience is a cool little shop and they were well staffed allthough perhaps not quite enough for the volume they had. The girl at the counter recommended they coffee cake which was absolutely fantastic; perhaps the best coffee cake I've ever had. I also had a bacon egg and cheese muffin which was also super delicious and freshly made! Coffee was good too but after having the food it certainly was secondary! Will certainly be back if I'm in gulf shores! read more

Customer service. Two girls working when we went were not friendly and behaved more like snubs. Zero smiles.

The food and service was excellent. We went there twice and we had the same experience both times.

By far the best coffee shop in Gulf Shores! There are lots of tables and comfy couches where you can relax or work. The coffee is incredible! I always order the honey bee, which has little droplets of honey at the bottom to make the end of your drink a little extra sweet! Huge shoutout to the staff! They are always super friendly and make you feel welcome. The owner is also seen regularly chatting and hanging with the guests. Chill, happy vibes at Pap's! read more

The place is beautiful inside and out. Seems like a good place to study or meet for coffee. On top of the fact they have delicious baked goods. I got great recommendations from the two girls working and ended up walking away with a delicious blend. An iced pistachio latte and their delicious coffee cake. After tasting the cake I knew this wasn't my last visit and confirmed it when my eye caught the lemon cake on the way out. read more

the servers were so nice, the place was cute and clean, they had tons of seating, and the menu had a good selection! they were a bit more expensive that i had expected even for the area but they have good coffee and the breakfast sandwich was so flavorful and fresh, that the price on that one was worth it. the food took a while to come out but it was hot when it did. my only complaint is when i went to order the key lime pie, not only was it expensive, but it was also not fresh, small, and definitely not homemade like they said. it was the main thing i was looking forward to and it was a bit of a disappointment. read more

Wow. Cute little place. Super friendly. Great HOT coffee The Breakfast sandwich (we had one of each - Bacon and Sausage) was delicious. The sausage had a nice little zing. The "Egg biscuit" - YUM.

The coffee is delicious, the food is delicious, and the workers are kind. It shows in the quality of the patrons - the energy is busy but pleasant. read more

Busy place for locals and tourists. Do not think you will be in and out quickly. Large breakfast selection of pastry's and breakfast items. Blueberry muffin moist and had flavor. Avocado toast was rather bland, but a bit of salt added helped. Latte was hot and had the right amount of flavoring added. Inside is quaintly decorated with comfortable seating. Large back seating are as long as the bugs are not flying! read more

The coffee was hot and bold, great tasting. We also got honey Rooibos tea which was delicious. The large mountain berry muffin was yummy. Service was efficient and friendly. They have a pleasant and warm atmosphere in the shop with plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Even the patrons were friendly. Plenty of parking too. No wonder Pappy is happy--they were busy at 7:45 am! read more

They have real coffee makers like over- seas. Clean and pretty. Very friendly. Coffee is by far the best in the area. It's hidden gem.

We traveled from San Diego to try the best coffee and we found it!! The young lady behind the counter was so helpful in guiding us in selecting the most delicious cup of coffee for our taste. The lemon berry macron was such a treat and the giant cookie was a hit! We will be back again!! read more

Very friendly staff and clean, well designed atmosphere. We had breakfast burritos that were obviously made fresh... very tasty! Whatever coffee beans they're using they should keep right on using. Best latte I've had in a while. Not overly sweet so you can really taste the coffee. Delicious!! read more

This place was so cute! I loved the interior and decor. Compared to the other coffee places we went, they were super cheap! The most expensive thing on the menu was only $7. This was the price of the cheapest things on other menus. The coffee was really good. It was busy but not as bad as we expected. The workers were sweet and helpful to everyone. This seems like more of a spot for locals but I enjoyed it! read more

We spent the week in Orange Beach Each morning we visited a different place for coffee. By the end of the week the number one based on 4 reviewers was Happy Pappys. We had multiple drinks and they were all great. Last day for me it was Marilyn Monroe and it was great. Toasty Caramel and Toffee Coffee were also tasted and voted head and heals above other coffee house. Thanks Pappy!! We will be back. read more

So good! I loved the cold brew. All of the drinks coming out looked delicious, but their basic cold brew black is delicious. The staff was so polite and incredibly quick. My favorite part was hearing them encourage each other, "You guys are killing it!" Cool vibe. Great art. Seating is plentiful both outside and in for such a smaller space. Price is reasonable. read more

Brought my husband here for birthday coffee. This little joint was friendly and adorable. They had all sorts of good looking treats, but we stuck to coffee. My ToffeeCoffee was fantastic!!! We will definitely come back on our next vacation. read more

They should just stop selling the decaf late at night instead of selling the slop they poured me, then had had the nerve to charge me full price for. It tasted like old 7-11 coffee from a few days ago reheated. Blah! read more

Excellent coffee, great pastries and cool atmosphere. Loved the hoodie I bought earlier this year and was hoping to snag another while here for fall break but they didn't have them, which was disappointing. I love that they sell CBD water and they have wonderful snacks to go with delicious coffee. Americano was excellent. read more

Very nice people. The single bathroom was very nice as well - well appointed, clean, and cute. I opted for the breakfast burritos. Lots of reviewers recommended those, so I went with it. They were made to order. The description states omelet style, and they were sooo fluffy and soft just like I like my eggs. I added bacon. I got three because I thought they would be small, but they were very well portioned. I could have gotten one, but I was hitting the road, so I plan to eat them on the way. They felt so clean and healthy. A great option to avoid fast food. This was homemade. I also got two egg bites. Came out to about $27, which I thought was good considering it was all homemade, fresh, and made to order. Highly recommended! Ample parking in the parking lot. read more

We very much enjoyed this breakfast. After eating to oblivion all week, it was nice to sit and have a lighter and tasty breakfast. The food was excellent, and the service was great, albeit a little slower than expected. Definitely will be eating the restaurant again next year. read more
