    Happy People Coffee Company is a cute café in downtown Paris, Kentucky, featuring lots of delicious coffee options!

    We've found that Paris, Kentucky, has a pretty walkable downtown, complete with fun boutiques and multiple opportunities for a hot cup of coffee!

    Happy People Coffee Company is one such destination in this central Kentucky city. We've visited a couple times, and both times were great.

    Breakfast + Lunch with Happy People Coffee

    The café is open every day until 5 p.m., though (if you're like us), you'll most likely be drawn in for breakfast or brunch.

    On a recent visit, we had a latte, a veggie breakfast burrito and a breakfast sandwich.

    It was a delicious meal!

    Note that although they have a BUNCH of different types of coffee beans available, they rotate which ones are brewed for any given day.

    They also have a huge selection of hot tea, as well as multiple types of iced tea and some sweet treats like smoothies and ice cream drinks.

    The Wall of Coffee

    There's a whole wall of coffee for sale in the store and a large roaster machine. That's because this is more than a café; it's also a source for freshly roasted coffee beans (which are used by other area businesses too!).

    Happy People Coffee Company wants to keep people — well — happy, and so they roast their coffee beans to a wide variety of tastes.

    Whether you prefer light, dark, or some degree in-between, you should be able to find a flavor profile here that you'll want to take home.

    Check their website for a full list of coffee available.

    They also have a coffee flight that allows you to choose two iced and two hot drinks. I didn't try it on this visit, but it sounded fun.

    Sign about coffee flights with hot or iced options.

    There are plenty of seats to relax in while you enjoy your coffee and snacks.

    This is a cute, laid-back place to get yourself a cozy meal and drink while you're visiting Paris!
