Be Happy
Visitors say
We absolutely loved our experience here 😍 Finding the balcony on the second floor was absolutely magical. Sitting in the morning sun, sipping on a Freddo Cappuccino and a regular cappuccino served by a very friendly young lady, we couldn't have wanted more.
Really warm and kind service, great place to relax with a cold beverage. Located overlooking the sea and in front of the public transport to get you back to the airport 👌🏽
About
Tucked away near the quiet village of Alyfada in the northern reaches of Lesvos, Be Happy is the kind of café that embodies the easy, unhurried spirit of island life. Whether you're passing through on a coastal drive or seeking a moment of calm after exploring the surrounding olive groves and countryside, this welcoming spot offers a natural pause in the day. The name alone sets the tone — unpretentious, warm, and genuinely inviting.
Visitors can expect the comforts that make a Greek café such a pleasure: freshly brewed Greek coffee, cool freddo espresso on hot afternoons, cold drinks, and the sort of simple, honest refreshments that pair perfectly with the pace of rural Lesvos. The atmosphere tends toward the relaxed and convivial, the kind of place where locals linger and travellers quickly feel at home. Sitting here, away from the busier tourist trails, gives a truer sense of everyday island life.
Be Happy makes for an ideal stop for those exploring the less-visited northern and eastern interior of Lesvos, a region of rolling hills, traditional villages, and stunning sea views. It's a small but genuine part of what makes wandering this island so rewarding — the unexpected discoveries that turn a drive into a memory.
Before you go
What to expect
A laid-back café in the heart of Mytilini where you can settle in with a Greek coffee or a cold freddo espresso and watch the unhurried pace of local life pass by. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious — the kind of place where a quick stop easily stretches into an hour.
Best time to visit
May through October is ideal; the mild early-summer evenings are particularly pleasant for sitting outside.
How to get there
Be Happy is within easy walking distance of Mytilene's centre — just a few minutes on foot from the main harbour area.

Only had a Coffee and a Sandwich at them today, so i can only review that. Service was very quick, kind and spoke English well. Cappuchinno was the best i've had on the island (which i was craving for after a lot of hotel coffee) the sandwich with Sundried tomatoes, lettuce and cheese was also very enjoyable. Their name speaks for itself, i was happy.

Nice place. Tried the “burger dessert”. It was huge for a single person, maybe even for two people.

A magnificent business in every detail. This is definitely the best establishment of Lesvos. Many thanks to the whole team for their interest and hard workin who always smile every second whatever they make.. If we lived here, we would come every day, we ve loved it so much. In slightly cooler weather, you can drink your frappe on the upstairs balcony against the Lesvos view 🙏☺️🎊
