Great variety of healthy whole vegan foods! Would have gave five star on service if the cashier would have had a better personality and they would have actually had tofu. It took at least 15 minutes before they had tofu. And that was the only vegan "protein" option. But they had plenty of other veggie options that were sufficient like black beans, sweet potatoes and broccoli which was great. It was unfortunate that the only vegan protein option was not even available. The cook was very kind and explained that was just because they got over the weekend shift having ran out and It took time to marinate, chop and cook. I would give five stars on the food if it was entirely vegan. There was way too much animal in there. ;)
*Apparently the owner thinks they "can't get rid of their animal products". What a disappointing response. Of course they can get rid of them! There's over 33,000 vegetarian and vegan restaurants in the US alone. Thousands of these are vegan. You can get rid of the animal products, you just don't care about the animals enough to or the gravely invasive impact animal agriculture has on the environment, communities, and human outcomes concerning health with increased risk of chronic disease for the consumer. If you cared about those things then you would easily make your restaurant entirely vegan and there are countless ways to do that and be better than all of the other restaurants around you.
There was a marketing class where they shared a story about Nike sending a researcher to Africa to see if there was a market. When he came back he said there wasn't because there was nobody there wearing shoes where he went. On the flip side though it was an untapped huge market of tremendous potential. It's kind of like is the glass half empty or full. You can get rid of the animal products, you just choose not to care or be creative enough to. There are literally Michelin star restaurants that are vegan. -
Got a breakfast bowl with spinach, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes. and my friend got a custom bowl!
It’s tasted great and was prepared quickly! We dined outside with our poochie and the team brought out some water for him without being asked! So nice of them! :) -
Big fan! I love the selection (would love another açaí bowl option, though!), the quality, the staff, the cleanliness, and the fact that it’s local. Plus their app is easy to use and their rewards program is so good. Obsessed all around.

What a kind and friendly staff. They made sure my order was perfect. And perfect it was.
By far the very best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. If my wife lets me, we’re moving to Durham just so that I can eat here more often.
Thank you, Ladies, for a perfect experience! -
This place is top notch. My husband and I were in Durham for the birth of our grandchild and ate here multiple times that week. Food was great, the staff was friendly and professional - they seemed to enjoy working there - and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual at both lunch and dinner. We enjoyed it so much, that we now return to Happy + Hale almost every time we’re in town! I highly recommend!
