O Happy Days Cafe - Altadena

This food was fantastic!! Cash only so prices are more than reasonable! I have never felt so healthy while eating something so delicious I got the “ meatless meatloaf” and it was very flavorful with broccoli and lentils, I loved it, the greens were salted perfectly, and very hearty side salad was filling! I’m very happy and satisfied! also there was a tasty dressing to the salad that didn’t make the picture because I removed it to start eating and took picture after lol ? Vegetarian options: This is a vegan restaurant so everything is also vegetarian by default! Dietary restrictions: Everything is vegan so anyone can enjoy, also lots of gluten free options! The food is real food so most is naturally gluten free as it’s unprocessed Parking: I was across the street at grocery outlet and just ran across and scooped my meal but I noticed two free 2 hour street spots outside and unoccupied. Kid-friendliness: There’s a table inside where kids could eat, however it is a store, so they need to be mindful not to just pick things up. Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a one floor layout

Utterly charmed by this place. After eating an incredible, smoky bowl of split pea which John (the owner) made on the spot on his gas stove behind the register for $3.75, I bought some grocery staples and a few treats. While shopping, I marveled at the hand packed leftovers stored in the wood paneled refrigerator, on sale for a modest $1.75/portion instead of being thrown out. A business as personal and homey as Oh Happy Day is a marvel these days. I feel gratitude and respect for John and the space he 's fostered. Will be back many times.

A truly authentic place that wishes to help others at the utmost of its mission.

O Happy Days and the owner John are staple of the Altadena community! Not to mention, the soup of the day is far and away the most affordable (and delicious) vegetarian lunch option in LA County!

My wife shared the story of the places owner and had to go. Had his rice and beans, they were good, but I like rice and beans.Got a few things for the kitchen and glad to meet the man behind the story. I should say the hippy, that's what he called himself.
