I have a gluten allergy so finding this shop was like a kid's dream. Zebra cakes, carrot cakes, cookies, brookies, brownies, all kinds of goodies. They also serve coffee but I haven't tried their coffee yet but it smells so good when you walk in. I have loved everything that I've tried from there. Took my kids last week and they didn't even know they were eating gluten free items until I told them. They have other stuff that is gluten free that isn't sweets that you can buy also.
Variety of gluten free options. The only sugar free option was a vanilla flavoring for coffee/cappuccino. Cappuccino was pricey for size cup, a little thick for taste but had great flavor. The most popular is the oatmeal creme cookie! I enjoyed the lemon/blueberry donut it would have been perfect with tea! Not a fan of Brownie cookie, but would have been better with warm milk.
The cookies from here were great but the muffin I picked up was dry and sugary. Experience was good overall and the coffee shop inside was a plus!
What a literal JOY! When they say "happy" they mean it! No chance you'll leave here disappointed. They have a wide selection that is rotating, with specials on weekends that sell out faster than you could eat one. Make sure to grab a drink to wash down your treats! My Chai latte was warm and wonderful
AMAZING gluten free treats! Baking a good GF item is tough. Getting the texture and taste right is hard to do; they're often too dry, or too stodgy, or they crumble into dust, or you nail the texture but the taste is off. I've been eating GF since my celiac diagnosis almost 20 years ago, and this bakery is now in my top 2! I am so glad I detoured slightly to try this place! I live 2 hours from Columbus but was there for some volunteer work. Before driving home, I decided to treat myself. There's lots of street parking in the area but you'll likely still have to walk a little. The store is inside North Market which took me a second to figure out because I am a country bumpkin!, and there's plenty of seating in the market should you wish to devour your treats immediately. I got a box of various yums, including a sugar cookie that is, hands down, THE BEST GF cookie I have ever had. I cannot express enough how the texture and taste were PERFECT. I've found sugar cookies to be one of the hardest things to make gluten free and have long since given up trying to make them myself. This was AMAZING. Just perfect. I also bought something called a 'doughnut muffin' duffin? that I devoured like a ravenous beast in my car. Somehow I managed to save the remaining treats. I had the coffee cake muffin see photo for the following days breakfast, and I have two additional treats in my freezer for future consumption. This bakery deserves all the love just for their incredible products but they also happen to staff the loveliest people! Very polite, helpful, and genuinely friendly. As you can see, I'm now a huge fan. Next time I'm in the area, I WILL be back! And might buy the whole case of sugar cookies.
I cannot say enough good things about Bake Me Happy and I have no clue how I haven’t saved photos of the treats! First, you’ll be drawn in by donut muffins to make your morning happy. From there you can decide to go cookie or cake. There’s no wrong answer. I will say though, the “zebra cake” is the best. Something about the white cake and white chocolate is perfect and also has a nostalgia factor. For Thanksgiving I got myself a sweet cream pie and pretended like I didn’t have a gluten issue and was eating a normal holiday treat. Oh, and in case you’re worried, the people who work here are all super friendly too! The only downside is your growing waistline!
I’ve been coming here for a few years and love their baked goods. I finally got to try their cakes and they are amazing! The staff is super friendly and I’ve never had a bad experience except when they sell out quickly.
As someone with a gluten allergy, you often find mediocre desserts and baked goods. When I tell you their desserts are the best I've ever had, I mean it. They're DELICIOUS and what I think might be the best gluten-free bakery I've ever been to. Support small businesses, and come get your baked goods from here! I love them.
We used to live around the corner from their first location and it became our favorite place to go get a sweet treat and a cup of coffee. Everyone who works there is so kind, if you are coming in for a quick drink or if you are staying for hours eating your way through their bakery case and working. I dare you to find something more delicious in Columbus than their coffee cake muffin. I dare you.
I was directed to this bakery by the Central Ohio African American Chamber of Commerce. My husband and I were passing through and looking to support a local Black owned establishment. We came late in the day, about 30 minutes before closing. They were super courteous and we're patient as we picked what they had available. With that being said the baked goods were out of this world! Love that it was gluten free and that I can order online. Coffee was cold, but like I said we were late, I didn't expect a fresh pot made. Decent cuppa.
