Coffs Gem

Fantastic menu. Eat in or takeaway. The Brekkie Beans are simple and filling. Kim and the team just get better and better at the coffee thing. Pasta salad to take home - what more could you want.
Update After just returning from London- happy frog should become international. Their Food has brilliant flavours, colours, tastes & no dead animals.

Pros: Lots of Veg/Vegan options, Great Value, Corporate catering makes meetings bearable

One-stop shop for the vegan tourist

Location is central. Vegan/vegetarian food. Combines cafe with homewares (baskets) and grocery/store (personal care items, veggie snacks/treats, fruit, vegies, veggie cookbooks, etc.).
Cafe staff were nice, food was great.
(Oct 2023) $14.50 for a "medium" (3 salad) bowl. The servings were huge. Would just have light brekky at hotel, late lunch here and not need dinner. Salad bar had a lot of vegan options, enjoyed mixing and matching different combos. Has cakes/treats, not many vegan. The "yum balls" are massive and yummo.

Pros: Good range of vegan salads, Friendly staff, Central location, great opening hours

Cons: More vegetarian than vegan overall

Super healthy options!

Plenty of clearly labelled vegan salads/wraps/burgers! The best place to go if you’re craving something wholesome, or if you’re on a health kick! Super lovely atmosphere to be a part of 🌿🥑

Pros: Lots of nourishing vegan foods, Knowledgeable staff regarding vegan options, Peaceful atmosphere

Cons: Serves animal products, A little on the pricey side, but worth every cent

Healthy, fresh & tasty.

My go to place for lunch when visiting Coffs Harbour. Wide range of vegan salads, fresh juices and other healthy foods. There is also a grocery section selling fruit, vegetables, bread, condiments, books and eco utensils. It's got everything and it's yum 😋

Updated from previous review on 2022-07-12

Pros: Large range of fresh & tasty vegan salads, freshly squeezed juices & smoothies., really good coffee

Cons: Falafel wraps are too big & fall apart when eaten, not all food is vegan/ vegetarian.

Yummy salads (vegan potato salad!!)

Stopped in here while on a road trip and really enjoyed the food. There are lots of different salad options, including vegan potato salad that really reminds me of the kind my mum made growing up. We also got the falafel wrap which was enjoyable, but could do with a bit more sauce. Overall good food and good value.

Not bad, vegan options

Coffs doesn't yet have much vegan wise but this place has some decent salads and savory food, marked as vegan. It's a bit pricey and would be better if they went vegan only but not bad.

Variety of salads and good cakes

Had some salads with a lentil patty and hommus topping which gives the little kick to the salad. The whole earth smoothie is really good!! But be careful, not all smoothies are vegan, some are with milk😡the vegan cakes are pretty yummy 😋

Great place for breakfast

Stopped for breakfast and coffee, lots of options on menu and in deli cabinet. Great atmosphere. Kids activities and loads of fliers and posters for local services and events with natural health/social justice/environmental theme. They made us home cooked beans on toast with avocado and hummus - generous portion and really delicious. Also shop with eco wares and local produce.

Pros: Yummy food, Friendly staff, Great atmosphere

Early lunch

All foods on the menu board were marked to show vegan/ gf etc. We enjoyed hot lentil patty, salad, felafel wrap and a tasty juice. Great, fast service, even for a busy time.

Pros: plenty of vegan choices

Cons: good prices

A-MAZING!

A HUGE selection of vegan foods. All very fresh. Staff are very informed about what the ingredients list are for each dish & know what vegan actually means. I highly recommend!!!
You can also "donate" a meal for $2.50 so naturally, we bought 3.

Love this place

The Happy Frog is one of the few places in Coffs that does fresh and delicious vegan food at a reasonable price. The watermelon and chilli juice is amazing. The felafel roll is awesome. The staff are friendly. Sadly all the takeaway is served in plastic. It would be great to have a cardboard or other environmentally friendly option.

Lunch on the go.

Have visited The Happy Frog several times while traveling on business the past 12 months. Always a great salad selection with Vegan options. Coffee also good.
I wish I have more time to sit and look around the store.
Perhaps the lay out confuses first time visitors?
It's always busy with locals and fits perfectly with a relaxed atmosphere.

Pros: great salad selections

Cons: none

A Great Find

A very nice find amongst all the horrible fast food joints that are found in Coffs. We enjoyed some great food, service and atmosphere. We would definitely go back.

Pros: Great food and service.

Cons: Watch out for beggars outside asking for money

Don't Bother

We have been coming twice a year since it opened as we were happy there was a vege restaurant between Sydney and Byron.The service is woeful.The server would not move so that we could easily make our salad selections.She rudely rolled her eyes as we shuttled back and forth from the cashier to the food display.The salads are now drier and the falafel wrap left me feeling queasy.The service has always been dodgy with diffuse queues and lack of enthusiasm by staff.Granted it has usually been very busy.However, on this most recent visit, there was no queue despite being around 1pm.We will be picnicking rather than stopping in the future.

Pros: All vegetarian,albeit with eggs

Cons: Boring food, Rude uninterested staff

Great food!

A very vibrant and positive feel to the place! We came for lunch - great salad, really tasty. Lots of vegan options, but also choices for vegetarians too. Great healthy juices. There's a lovely seating area on the pavement, if the weather is nice. If in the area again I would undoubtedly be back.

vegan friendly and delicious

Happy Frog is centrally located in the heart of Coffs. Lots of vegan options, fresh & delicious, eat in or take away. Also sells fresh produce and healthy snacks. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere. Highly recommend a visit if you're ever in town. Only an easy 20 min walk from the beach too.
