I recently ordered coffee directly from Barn Happy’s website and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From browsing their selection to the moment my bag arrived at my door, everything felt thoughtful and well-executed. I chose both the Blueberry Crumble Whole Bean Coffee and Pecan Sticky Bun Whole Bean Coffee, and both lived up to the hype. The medium roast is smooth, balanced it’s quickly become my go-to morning and afternoon brew. What really sets Barn Happy apart for me is how consistently well-reviewed and responsibly sourced their beans are — you can tell they put care into quality and sustainability, and many customers highlight the full flavor and smooth finish across their range. The ordering process was easy, the packaging arrived fresh, and each cup has been delicious — full-bodied, aromatic, and just the right blend of complexity and approachability. I’d definitely recommend Barn Happy coffee for anyone looking to enjoy great-tasting coffee with a feel-good vibe.

My partner and I visited Barn Happy on this drizzly fall day and were instantly transported into a cozy, little cottage that made me feel as if I was in my grandma’s kitchen. I felt her presence strongly as we sat at a table eating the most savory Butternut squash soup that has ever touched my lips. And I could swear the crust on the Swiss and bacon quiche was my grandmother’s recipe. I can’t wait to come back and experience her pies again. I just know she’s in the kitchen rolling dough with the rest of you gals. Thank you for the best Fall afternoon! We will see you again soon!

Very nice and positive

Barn Happy does a nice job of promoting handmade items, made in Iowa but I found the vast majority of their items and decor way too heavy on faith based items. The people were polite and I liked the repurposing of the barn itself, but the for sale items and music that was playing turned me off. Also, the Cappuccino that we ordered was made by pushing the "Cappuccino" button on the machine behind the counter and it was not good. Overall, not a place I will stop at again.

Love the high class food, pies, prompt service, easy accessibility and parking. Good experience (have been there several times in the past few years). I live in Ames and have a friend in Cedar Falls--we both think highly of Barn Happy.

I think 350 is a little high for coffee!

Good food, often crowded. The seating is in the same area as shopping area so it’s hard to see everything.

Parking: Not at all organized, just parking in rows on the lawns

I absolutely love Barn Happy! It is one of my favorite places to meet up with friends and family, whether for just coffee or for a tasty breakfast or lunch. It is a relaxed atmosphere, and seating is surrounded by an array of products and handmade goods from Iowa artisans and vendors, so you can gift shop while you are there. If you prefer antiques and vintage items, check out the barn loft. Currently, they are offering beautiful, fresh picked flower bouquets in vases on

Whenever I'm home, I make sure to head out to Barn Happy to grab some great homemade products for friends and family back in Germany. Also, the flavored coffee beans are an exceptional treat. My favorite is the Amaretto flavored beans which is subtle on its own, but makes for an excellent morning roast when mixed with a regular coffee.
