I ordered my 22nd birthday cake from here and gave the bakers creative liberty with a few ideas for colors and I wanted daisies and butterflies. They were very professional with e-mail replies and got my cake ready about 5 days before the party. It was a Dolly Parton themed party and my cake was so cute! We got lots of compliments. The cake wasn't too sweet, and the filling had a nice strawberry flavor. Definitely will be coming back for next years cake!

My sons birthday was yesterday and he's been after me for weeks to make him cupcakes...and I don't want to...so we tried Happy Bakeshop instead. The shop is clean and the display case is full of beautifully decorated cookie and cupcakes. There is a healthy selection of GF offerings that looked amazing as well.
I overheard the woman ahead of me talking about it being 2 for Tuesday, so I had to ask when it was my turn. All cupcakes are $2 on Tuesdays- score!! I'd gone in intending to buy 3 cupcakes- one for each of us, but left with 2 for each of us plus 2 mini-muttcakes so our pup could join in the party.
My son had the carrot cake- he loved it. My husband had the red velvet, and I had the chocolate caramel. We both thought that the cakes were moist and fresh and really enjoyed the flavors. My pup gobbled his muttcakes up and was clearly delighted to have been included.
We'll be back very soon, probably on a Tuesday.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 2Business owner information

Hi Savanna! Thanks so much for the kind words. We're thrilled to read your visit was a success. And please spread the word about $2 Tuesday - its our favorite day of the week. Also glad to read that your pup got "happy" too. We hope we'll see you again soon!

We purchased a vegan carrot cake for my sons first birthday as a "smash cake" because he has an egg allergy. My husband and I couldn't even tell it was vegan! This cake was so delicious and moist - and I had asked for low sugar so they did the "naked cake" with barely any frosting. Customer service was impeccable, responding to emails quickly and calling me for confirmations. Couldn't recommend more - thank you to the happy Bakeshop team!!

Stopped in after doing some shopping on 32nd to check out the sweets. Upon entering, everything looked so good! I ended up ordering three cupcakes: vanilla on vanilla, chocolate on chocolate, and a chocolate salted caramel. The cupcakes were super moist, the frosting was the perfect texture, and everything was very flavorful without being too sweet. Next time I'm in the area, I'll have to try more treats!

I stopped by Happy Bakeshop as I was walking around looking at the shops on 32nd. I ordered a raspberry cheesecake bar and a lemon bar for my husband and I both to sample. I didn't get to my halves until that evening and they were a tad dry. The cheesecake bar filling was quite firm, more so than most cheesecakes I remember and the base was dry. The lemon bars filling was tasty and just tart enough but once again a dry-ish base. Both were good but I prefer my own lemon bars and I know I can get some great cheesecake at other locations.
Maybe I'll go with what they are known for next time and try a cupcake even though cupcakes aren't usually my fav.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1 - Aug 5, 2021
This bakery was close to my best friends house, and they offered gluten-free and vegan baked goods. They made samples of both regular and vegan/gluten free cupcakes.
The chocolate on chocolate vegan/gluten free and dairy free cake was perfect. My husband barely let me try a bite! We should have ordered a larger cake, it was that good!
It is difficult to find a bakery to accommodate vegan or gluten free. Everything was excellent and we had very few cupcakes left over when the party concluded.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

3.5/5 I stopped by on $2 Tuesday and tried two cupcakes -- Chai spice and cookies and cream. For $2, they were a good value, but I wouldn't come back on another day of the week since the cupcakes are really not very big. Both cupcakes had a nice flavor but were a little crunchy -- both the tops of the cupcakes and the frosting. The woman who helped me was so nice and friendly! A cute little spot!

Hi Emily! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
Pro Tip: When we introduce new flavors (abt 4x/yr) we have Happy Hour everyday (4-close and 2-close on Sunday). We'll be introducing new flavors on Tuesday Feb 1!
You should def stop by then. Hope we see you again soon! - 230240126Oct 30, 2022Updated review
All the treats and great for different dietary needs. My son is allergic to dairy, so we frequent often to pick up some of their vegan goodies , and they are delicious. They have truly perfected their recipes. They have always been friendly and accommodating when coming in. I have ordered ahead or just walked in and I've always been pleased with their selection. It's pricey, but makes sense for the area.

Apr 13, 2017Previous reviewPersonally I think these cupcakes are very over priced. I got their mini cupcakes for a party, and felt like I paid a fortune- and they were super tiny. I also filled out the order online, and never got a confirmation, so I called them. The woman on the phone was not very friendly, and did not apologize for their online ordering system not working. When I went to pick them up, I asked if they would mind running them out to me because I had a sleeping baby in my car and wasn't going to be able to carry the car seat and he cupcakes, and they did not want to help me with this at all- even though no one else was in the shop at the time and there were at least two people working. They did eventually agree to run them out to me (I was literally parked right outside), but didn't seem very willing. I was really dissatisfied with their customer service, prices, and the cup cake quality. The cookies I ordered were very good quality, but also pricey.

Baked goods are fantastic! But the customer service is poor. I came in on a Tuesday night to pick up something up for a dinner party and the girl behind the counter was very rude.

Great place to order birthday cakes from! The cake is cute and delicious. I try to order at least two weeks out, they get busy.
