About this place Be Happy Café

Be Happy Café is a café on Lautaro Navarro 739, a few blocks from Plaza Muñoz Gamero. Its motto is "sé quien eres" (be who you are), and in February 2025 ITV Patagonia called it the first inclusive café in Magallanes and a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community. It's a daytime coffee-and-cake place, not a bar, and in a city with no gay bar it is the easiest spot to sit somewhere openly queer-friendly. Google rates it 4.7 from about 350 reviews. Check Instagram (behappycafe.puq) for hours.

The best coffee shop in Punta Arenas. They have excellent food, are vegan-friendly, serve exquisite coffee, and best of all: they have outstanding service. The owners, who are the ones who run the place, are a model of good service and friendliness. They are also bilingual, which is quite rare in the region, allowing them to serve foreigners and representing the city well.

First time in Punta Arenas and we stopped for breakfast at this lovely café. From the moment we walked in, the decor was wonderful, the place was cozy, and the owner provided excellent service. The food was delicious, top-notch, made with quality ingredients, and there was a great variety of coffees, teas, and truly delicious sandwiches on sourdough bread. Don't miss this beautiful place; you won't regret it!

Although I don't subscribe to this ideology in general, I dare say that, prejudices aside (the decor is very specific), this is by far the best coffee shop in Punta Arenas. The coffee is exquisite, the sandwiches spectacular. The service is 1000/10, really, everything is perfect. If you can look away and just enjoy an excellent cup of coffee, this is definitely the place. Every time I go to Punta Arenas with my wife, this coffee shop is a must-visit.
