Happy and Hale is a recent discovery for me. I really enjoy the bowls I've had as meals.
That said, I find the pricing difficult to understand (.50 for diced red onions 🤯 if you go above three selections, for instance).
I also find ordering in person to be very difficult.
Things aren't clearly labeled or easy to see. The music was loud and the staff couldn't hear me and I couldn't really hear them. I'll be back, but from now on I am only ordering online and never eating in the establishment.
Tldr; good product but crappy experience.

1st visit ever to this fast-paced restaurant and I’m hooked!! I had the Protein Bowl chockfull of deliciousness, double herb roasted chicken, bacon, black beans, corn, roasted red peppers, and goat cheese with honey habanero dressing on the side. Hooked! I’m aiming for the Hot Honey Chicken Bowl on my next visit. Every item was fresh, food area was very tidy and the staff have created a well-oiled machine. Everyone plays a part in this action movie! They are all speaking the same language moving in unison. Team camaraderie came easy for the shift I was on so I imagine that’s just how they roll.

I had such a wonderful experience at this place! The staff was incredibly helpful and patient as I asked about different meal options. They really took the time to make thoughtful suggestions, which I appreciated. The space itself is absolutely adorable with such a great vibe; it feels cozy and welcoming. On top of that, the prices are super affordable, especially considering how generous the portions are. Highly recommend checking this spot out. You won’t be disappointed!

Delicious I got the Hale salad! I am lactose intolerant and gluten free by allergy not choice. This salad was perfect! I like extra dressing so they accommodated me! I also got extra vegan cheese and vegan bacon. It was perfect! I'll be Back! I messed up the salad before I could take a good picture!

Happy + Hale is one of my favorite spots for a fantastic lunch! The Buena Bowl is my go-to—it’s packed with amazing flavors and a punch of goodness that never disappoints. Occasionally, I branch out and try other items on the menu, and I’m always impressed by the quality and taste. The service is consistently excellent, with a friendly and welcoming staff that makes every visit enjoyable. Whether you’re looking for something fresh, healthy, or just downright delicious, Happy + Hale delivers every time!

I can’t believe I’ve never left a review here- but Happy + Hale is one of our favorite spots in Durham! It’s such a filling and healthy meal- and sometimes it’s even enough for two meals for me with leftovers! I usually create my own bowl, and it’s so delicious and fresh! (See photo for my go-to order!) We love sitting on this patio when the weather is nice too. I also love their smoothies and drinks!

Good food. relatively quick service. Lots of parking. Decent price. Overall a very positive experience. I recommend the salads though the Acai Bowl can sometimes be frozen.
