Today as "newish" residents of Cañon, was our 2nd time at Happy Endings, and our good impressions were equal to our first. Beginning with Rae's greeting and attention to detail both for our order and comfort. She checked on us at perfect intervals and brought Cynthia, the chef, to meet us when we complimented our meals, from presentation to flavor. Cynthia told us a little about how she and the small crew which included Joe, turn out "miracles" on their small grill housed in the kitchen. In addition, we each took half of our breakfast sandwich and southwest wrap home for later! We'll be back for thirds and more!

My friend and I are big fans of cafes and we spotted this on google maps as we were searching for places for lunch.

We are not local and were shell-shocked at the prices this place charged for food. In a city that has an average per capita income of $27,000 per year [source: census.gov], how does a business charge $22 for a sandwich and chips or $16 for a burrito? An average citizen here has to work 2 hours to afford a meal here.

The food was bland and the chicken was dry. I could not believe how little flavor everything had. The mocha tasted just like milk and was not good. It would be one thing if the food and drinks were tasty, but this was such a disappointing experience.

The staff was friendly and the trains looked cool. We were the only patrons on Tuesday just after 12, so we did not experience the long wait times mentioned by other peers. I would recommend coming for the atmosphere and maybe souvenirs, but not for food.

Cute and cozy ambiance, disappointing food. We stopped by for lunch and loved sitting in the caboose with its rustic feel. The food unfortunately was a real letdown. The spinach artichoke dip was cold when it arrived and not very flavorful, the bread on my BLT was falling apart and had no condiments on it (they gave me some mayo packets to add myself), the quesadilla was okay and the tortilla chips were really bland. Our order was also delivered to the wrong table at first, and the waitress was incredulous when we corrected her.

It's worth checking out for the atmosphere, but maybe go for the ice cream or coffee and not the mains.

Crepes were great and the coffee was good. Little bit of a small space for ordering and receiving food but cabooses weren’t made for a ton of room.

Great food, great view and excellent customer service. Kandi was a really nice to us and really helpful. You can have a nice view of the train when departing or arriving while you are enjoying a cup of coffee or having a tasty breakfast. The burger was excellent. Thanks again

Super unique spot with very helpful staff! If you are in the area and maybe not even going to ride the train it’s worth stopping in!

It’s in an actual rail car so that adds to it!

Had to wait almost an hour total to order then get cold crape and bagel. Pretty disappointing for a pretty simple order.

Absolutely awful customer service not only was the lady who took our order extremely rude they said they were out of green chilli the wait was insane 45 minutes for 2 breakfast burritos and a coffee. The potatoes in the breakfast burrito are hard as a rock and there is barely any meat or eggs. Absolutely would not recommend and will not be returning
