    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Greek grilled cheese to go

    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!

    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!

    Went for coffee. My son and I had the Greek coffee. It was pretty good!

    We went in for coffee. It was pretty good. The geeek coffee was good. The energy drink was good. My husband can't remember the name of his drink but he liked it was well.

    Me and my wife have been going to this coffee shop for years when we visit the area. It is always a very welcoming atmosphere and their coffee is amazing! If you are a fan of specialty latte's, this is the coffee shop to go too! They also have several seasonal drinks as well! Definitely recommend!

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

    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.

    This was the best cheesecake that ever touched my lips. Whoever HOPE is she needs to definitely…read moretake this recipe on the road. Next time I am in Gulf shores I will definitely be back. I have the red velvet cheesecake. I also tried the sampler pack.

    This was my last stop on my way out of town after a short but fun few days at the gulf. I knew I…read morehad to try this spot after I saw it ranked as the best cheesecake in Alabama. I popped in fairly early on a Saturday, early enough that I was the only customer. This place is covered practically floor to ceiling with every variety of cheesecake imaginable, in individual portions to giant shareable cakes. There are a few other treats available too, like cookies. After browsing the flavors, I decided on a small sized turtle cheesecake. I think it was maybe labeled as individual but I comfortably shared it for a smallish dessert with my parents. My one disappointment was that all the smaller cheesecakes I could see were in circular servings (like a large hockey puck) instead of slices. I don't know if I'm just bad at looking for things or if they don't sell slices anymore, but I made out okay with my dessert. Service was very friendly and welcoming and got me rung up quickly. I took a quick bite while it was still cold and then saved the rest for about 1.5 drive up to our lunch spot on our way home. It held up pretty well in the air conditioned car. The bites were delicious both times. It's a pleasantly thick and creamy cheesecake. I enjoyed the chocolate cookie crust though I wish there'd been slightly more of it. The turtle toppings on top really added extra tasty flavor, though I only found chocolate and caramel -- no nuts despite it being a turtle cheesecake. That was kind of a bummer, but I still really liked my dessert. I'd happily get this same cheesecake again. Definitely worthy of a try if you find yourself in the area!
