Not vegan, cross contamination issues - Edit
This restaurant is no longer vegetarian or vegan, and their ostensibly vegan options are not 100% vegan. You order from an iPad, not a person, so allergy issues cannot be communicated. My wife, who has a severe dairy allergy, got very sick from a vegan bowl with no obvious dairy source.

Hi @thesongneverdies,
Read moreI'm truly sorry to hear that your wife got sick, and I want to assure you that your concerns are taken very seriously. The health and safety of our guests are at the core of what we do, and I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.
I’d like to clarify a few points to address your worries:
Dairy Sources & Cross-contamination: Dairy is only present in our coffee and dessert stations (for milk and ice cream). There is absolutely no dairy where we cook and build our meals. We’ve taken extra steps to ensure this, including having separate griddles and utensils specifically for our vegan proteins, which are placed on your plate at the end of the line to avoid any cross-contamination.
Kiosk Ordering: While you do place orders through a kiosk, we always have staff available to assist with any specific needs, including allergy concerns. We even have a call bell at the kiosk to make sure you can get help if we're busy.
Vegan Offerings: While it’s true that we’re no longer fully vegan due to the small size of the vegan community in our area, we are committed to offering vegan options. Our bowls and pockets remain fully vegan when you choose the vegan protein substitute, and all our dressings are vegan as well.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings. We deeply care about our customers and their dietary needs, and I would love the opportunity to make things right. Please reach out to me directly if there’s anything else I can do for you.
Warm regards,
Eduardo

I crave this food! - Edit
2024 update:They are no longer fully vegan, but I’m happy they are still in business. So many restaurants have had to adapt or close and we’d rather have them open. Our food was still delicious, and we were informed that all sauces are vegan and there’s a vegan version of pretty much everything. Most things can be made gf as well. They no longer have the gf wrap, which I was bummed about, but I got a bowl and it was good.
Read more2023: My husband and I ate here for lunch and we enjoyed our meals. He had a Buffalo Chickn wrap. I didn’t, however, expect to crave my meal for days after we left town! Now all I want is a gf Kebab wrap but I’m out of state! Booo.

Traitors to the vegan cause - Edit
Used to be vegan, recently introduced meat to “be inclusive.” I’d rather go to Chipotle.

No longer vegan, profits off animal exploitation - Edit
EDIT - no longer a vegan restaurant - they’ve chosen to profit off animal exploitation.

No longer 100% vegan - Edit
They claim to be 100% inclusive now by adding meat options. Vegan options are already 100% inclusive - adding meat to the menu doesn’t change that. While this is disheartening to see, the food was still good. At the time, (they seem to be in a transition) everything can be made vegan (with an optional meat substitute). There are lots of options here for vegans. We ordered online but they didn’t start making our orders until we got there - not sure if this is their policy or if they were busy. The food was tasty and the vegan meats were so realistic, it seemed very silly to add animal meat to the menu in the first place.

I was here in the past and the food was amazing. I was extremely disappointed to find out that they have recently added animal protein to their menu.

A bit pricey but good! - Edit
The portions are generous and the food was very fresh and neatly presented. Very clean restaurant and helpful staff. There was indoor and outdoor seating - we sat on the outdoor patio area which was very pleasant. We got entrees (bowls & burgers/fries) plus the hummus appetizer & beverages and we were full!

Happy for happea’s - Edit
One of my favorite spots to eat in Miami! I eat here religiously. Always made fresh and delicious and fast!! The service is on point. It’s always very clean and the ambience is nice, you can sit inside or enjoy the outdoors. 10/10 add some jenga tables and we have a date spot! 😍

Best Vegan Food Ever - Edit
This place is INCREDIBLE. 10/10 would recommend. I was a little hesitant at first because I’m not vegan. But the food is so filling and genuinely satisfies you the way non vegan food does- but it’s even better because it’s super healthy and doesn’t make you feel so heavy. Their portions are super reasonable for the price- if you’re not super hungry- one portion could easily be 2 meals/ it’s very shareable. Honestly there’s nothing on the menu I wouldn’t recommend. Sooooo yummy.

An Oasis in Brickell! - Edit
Wow! I’m so happy I stumbled on this place when they opened. Mediterranean food in Miami is rarer than you’d expect! So to find an incredible plant based spot like Happeas was amazing. They have a long list of tasty and nutritious options and I can’t get enough of their chicken shawarma and soft serve. Make sure you stop by!

Can't believe its vegan! - Edit
One of my new favorite quick bites! Must trys are: the vegan fro-yo and the french fries! Not only are they vegan but very gluten-free friendly which is sometimes hard to find in the area!
Read moreTook my boyfriend here and he loved the Buffalo Chick'n Panini Wrap! You should have seen his face when I told him that the "chicken" was plant based! He couldn't believe it!
Not only do they have amazing food, and service but the location is very central!

Slightly overrated - Edit
Given the very good reviews here on Happy Cow and on Google we had high expectations which have been fulfilled only partly.
Read moreThe place looks nice and we really liked the self-service till where you can see all the pictures of the items in the menu and order from there.
The customer service was great too. Friendly, quick and efficient.
The reason for a 4-star rating (rather than 5) has to do with the food. We had a falafel wrap and a cauliflower hummus bowl and both were just mediocre, which was quite disappointing given the insanely high rating on Google.
I would certainly give Happea’s another chance but there are definitely way better vegan restaurants in Miami and in South Beach.
Pros: Fast and efficient service
