The Happy Coffee Bean

You'll find yourself on King Street—that stretch where Bangor actually feels like it's got something going on—and there's The Happy Coffee Bean, doing the basics brilliantly without any faffing about. It's the kind of place where the coffee tastes like someone's actually thought about it, and the staff remember your name without being creepy about it. The room itself is unpretentious; it feels lived-in rather than designed, which is exactly what works. This is where locals come to properly sit down, not just grab and go.
