    Lemon blueberry gluten-free cake with pink frosting.

    Ask my out-of-state sister to order a graduation cake for me that was gluten-free. We chose this bakery. I got lemon blueberry. The cake was dry and pancake like, not a single fresh blueberry. The cake topper also looked stupid on such a thin cake. For almost $70 I expected more...

    Peach Lambic Cake
    Rachael H.

    I love this bakery! I have yet to eat any of their savory items, but their sweets are incredible. For my 30th birthday I ordered a custom cake in the Peach Lambic flavor - YUM! The tiramisu & yellow dragon are also delicious, as are all the other flavors. The cake is moist and the fillings are often very unique, which I appreciate. They also have seasonal flavors and offerings. Their Turkish coffee cookies are delicious - I lived in Israel for 2 years so I love anything that transports me back the Middle East. The peanut butter curry cookies are also incredibly unique. I highly recommend both!

    Cupcakes!

    Vegan cupcakes in lovely unique flavors (such as Carrot pistachio or tiramisu or chocolate lavender) They are delicious. The service is always friendly also!

    I was traveling for work and found myself in Cincinnati, OH, where I'd be for Easter and my birthday, which was a week later. I had given up gluten and sweets for Easter so I was badly anticipating the consumption of both but had zero faith that I'd find anything suitable in Cincinnati. I threw caution to the wind and searched "vegan desserts" in Yelp, the day before Easter, and voila! I couldn't believe my eyes when this place came up. I was in so much disbelief that I called them to ask. Thank goodness they were open during COVID-19, but they were going to be closed on Easter Sunday, and I had like 20 minutes to get to them before they closed on Easter eve. I arrived in time and to my surprise they still had a few options left. I grabbed some cupcakes, fruit bars, and a colorful mini cake. The lady (possibly the owner) was very upbeat and happy. I love to see it! The strawberry lemon cupcake was perfection. Moist, light, and sweet. The fruit bar (I think it was apricot, but I can't recall) was also quite yummy. Unfortunately, I didn't really care for the vanilla lavender whole mini cake. Their vanilla cake is that old school, vegan of the 70s, beige, a little on the dry side, vanilla cake. If you know, you know. It's unfortunate because in today's world, so many vegan chefs have mastered the light and fluffy vanilla cake that can rival any non-vegan version (i.e. The Happy Bakery in OFallon, IL or Vegan Treats in Bethlehem, PA, to name a few.). I also think I'm just not a fan of the taste of lavender. The prices were very fair and the desserts were fresh. I only saw street parking so be prepared for that. Despite my disappointment with the vanilla cake, I am nonetheless happy this place exists and would love to return to try some of the other fruity or chocolate flavored cakes.

    I'm the new biggest fan of Happy Chicks Bakery. I went there to search for their vegan options and was not disappointed. They have muffins, sandwiches, and donuts. My favorite was the carrot based muffin which (no exaggeration) was the best vegan muffin I've ever had. It was incredible. Service was quick. They don't have in door seating so everything has to be carried out.

    Vegan Breakfast Sandwich

    Happy Chicks Bakery is great if you like baking or getting baked. It's located in the middle of a hipster neighborhood full of quirky characters. The bakery has many vegan items. It has bakery stuff like cakes or cupcakes. There's also a food menu. I had the Breakfast vegan sandwich on a biscuit. It's about $5, which is super cheap for something like this. The sandwich is made up of vegan cheese, tofu scramble, and a savory crumbly biscuit that tastes as good as any, and is much healthier for you. It also has a lunch menu featuring many vegan items. There's a sandwich with hummus among others. If you need vegan bakery items this is somewhere to look. It makes custom cakes for your parties. The store is open every day except Monday and is good for breakfast, lunch, or any time.

    Mocha & Peach Bourbon donut
    John N.

    I hate writing bad stuff about a vegan bakery because there is definitely a need for places like this, however I am posting this review just on the basis of what I had when I was there. I was going to a different place to try donuts and somehow just ended here due to the other bakery being closed. First off, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They were all very chipper and happy. I saw a sign showing that they had two donuts to offer that day and so my friend and I ordered one of each, which was a peach glazed donut & a mocha glazed donut. The other positive I had was that they really nailed the mocha glazed taste and I really enjoyed it. The downward spiral was that this wasn't a donut. It was croissant pastry in the form of a donut. I took one bite and the outside was very rough to bite into and the inside was very flakey, which is not the normal donut. The donut was barely edible in that state and the peach glazed that we had wasn't a prevalent flavor, unlike the mocha. Also, the donuts were super small, which might have been the reason it felt overbaked and rough to bite into. In my opinion, it wasn't worth the calories. Still, I'm sure a bunch of their other stuff is delicious, but the donuts here won't satisfy any cravings, in my opinion.

    For Breast Cancer awareness month, they made nipple cookies and pancakes. Here are chocolate nipple pancakes.

    Happy Chicks has had my heart since early 2018. The food is made from scratch, from cupcakes, croissants, cakes, and special little treats, not to mention their menu for breakfast/lunch (my go-to is the breakfast on a croissant) and they even have special treats for Sunday's! They get their ingredients locally. I know this business supports the community enormously. Not... to... mention... ALL VEGAN. The coffee is already available once you get there, and they even have the best-selling oat milk on their shelves as creamer for your coffee! The staff is attentive, personal, helpful and quick. Even on their busiest days, they always know who you are and what your order is. They personalize the experience. They're the ones who cook it, so they even have an extensive knowledge of what their food is and what the stand for. They remember you. They even have rewards for steady visitors!

    I'm somewhat newly vegan and always searching out places with solid vegan food choices (no french fries as a meal for me!) Happy Chicks is a fully vegan establishment in Northside, but even omnivores will enjoy their food! I got the quiche and the empanada, and both were fantastic. However, my fiancé's breakfast sandwich on croissant was out of this world amazing! Easily the best croissant I've ever had. I can't wait to try the cupcakes we took home! I will be back, and probably soon!! Side note: the employees are super friendly and it's a very non-pretentious establishment :)

    Cincinnati needs more vegan options and this is a great addition. Service was great, my sandwich was great, and I'll definitely head back!

    Cute local ice cream shop in an awesome location on Broadway! It's always popping and for good…read morereason- ice cream is great and the vibes are the same.

    Some aspects of Pendleton Parlor were on point and others left a little to be desired. First, it's…read morelocated in a really lovely part of Pendleton near a part of Broadway that's permanently closed for pedestrians and outdoor dining, so the ambiance is really nice. The inside of the shop is interesting, with knickknacks and things to look at in every corner- kids would love it for this reason! I immediately noticed that there were no prices on the menu... there were cups displayed on the counter with small/medium/large pricing but it wasn't clear what these cups were for- it looked like shakes. It was very off-putting for me to not know the prices of what I'm ordering, especially with more specialty items like cookie dough or coffee/ice cream creations where I can't predict a standard price. Second, there was only one dairy-free option... a cookies and cream ice cream. While it was tasty, it was my only option and that never feels great to order something because you have to. It also didn't have a description or any info available so I was left wondering what made it nondairy... almond? Coconut? Oil? Of course at a creamy whip type place I'm not going to expect the entire menu to accommodate me, but it's nice when there are at least a couple other options- especially with coffee, it would be easy to have a nondairy milk available or a sorbet/dole whip since they already carry many flavors. I tried a tiny bite of my husband's edible cookie dough and it was delicious! Seemed really sweet though- he could barely finish his side by side because it was so sugary--a good problem to have :)) I think I would go back if I had friends with me or happened to be in the area for Blink or the pool or something, but otherwise I would probably choose somewhere else where I have more options s and I know what I'm going to spend.
