Went to the happy bakery and was so sad to hear they are closing at the end of the year. We stopped by for the best cinnamon rolls you will ever eat. They are loaded with cinnamon and cream cheese frosting. The service is a counter top were you order then they bring your order to your table. You better get three quick are you are going to miss out read more

I ordered a very simple cake for my promotion ceremony. Vanilla cake almond icing. The flavor was 100% off and I paid over $200. First I felt very rushed when I was ordering and speaking to the actual baker. When I went to pick up the cake, the words were not on the cake so I had to comeback. They added fondant with what looks like sharpe marker. When I tasted the cake at the ceremony, it tasted awful. It was some kind of cinnamon clove flavor. The cake was incredibly dense like a pound cake. This cake was 100% wrong, very expensive and tasted nothing like I ordered. read more

I did a quick google search while in O'fallon on business. This bakery popped up. The location is a bit confusing as I whizzed by it with my GPS. There is no parking lot for customers so the parking lot you see... don't park there. Just hit the street parking. The bakery looks like a house on the corner. It is very colorfully decorated. The railing needs a bit of tightening as I about face planted on the stairs. You walk in and you are in the "dining room" which is quaint. Head up to the bakery counter and look in the case. Yummy goodness awaits. I wanted to try one of everything. The small cupcakes are just ok. Skip it and go for the oatmeal cream pie or the best banana nut muffin you will ever had. I brought the goodies home for me and my husband and we both agreed on the banana nut. It was delicious! Highly recommend. Cute business. I wish much success. Polite, reasonably priced and yummy! read more

This was our first visit and we were highly impressed. Love the homelike feel about the place. Staff was so friendly. We went on a Saturday Morning for brunch. I had the Chicken and Waffles with a side of scrambled tofu. Excellent! The chicken was so tasty. We will definitely come back. read more

So dang cute!!! We loved the cupcakes I picked up, but I have to warn you that the flies were awful. There was a sign on the door asking people to close the door behind them to avoid flies, but honestly that isn't enough. I know they're probably working on it but flies were in the air as well as in the case with the food. They even had a carnivorous plant in the case with the cupcakes to help with them. I think this place could benefit from some pest control. I'm going to wait to go back to try them again in the cooler months. Friendly service, cute building, great tasting cupcakes. read more

This is my first yelp review. I'm so glad my friend and I checked out this bakery! I got the scramble and toast (kids) and it was so tasty! The people and vibes are amazing. Overall, I'm happy that I went to the Happy Bakery read more

I'll definitely be back... read more

We adore The Happy Bakery! Their food is always freshly prepared from scratch. Every time we order, everything is made to order, the fries are crispy, and the veggies are fresh. Tonight, we chose The Happy Bakery for our Lenten Friday dinner. The caliFresh sandwich was superb. Lots of flavors melding tonight, and the falafel patty was fried beautifully on the outside and soft on the inside. It blows my mind that everything is made from scratch. Such a rare find! Oh, and the potatoes wedges...OMG. One of my favorite side dishes EVER! Our kids love the burgers and crinkle fries, and we've tried several soups that were yummy! Whether you're a vegetarian/vegan or not, you have to check out this fun local spot! Can't wait to try their spring menu! read more

Great food and vibes too bad they are closing for good very soon. Get in while you can!

Best vegan bakery and café this side of the Ole Miss. Most charming historic district home turned bakery. The store is serious about inclusion of all peoples, super good vibes seep out of every corner. From the little garden out front to the candy colored decor inside. Whole-foods plant based meals are lovingly slow cooked in the professional kitchen. The cupcakes and other confections are so pretty and taste absolutely as good as they look. Want a fun activity for special occasions? They even have a room for decorating your own cake. Love this place and so glad I can get my grandlittles cakes both can enjoy with their allergic restrictions. Thanks for being so fantastic!! read more

The staff is always lovely and helpful, the baked goods are to die for, and can I tell you about the BLT? I've been vegan for more than ten years and it's far and away the best BLT I've ever had. Yesterday we ordered loaded tots and I nearly lost a finger to the forks flying to get at them. They have syrups that aren't maple for people who hate maple, like me. They have inventive, interesting, delicious specials so there's always something new to try. They have gluten-free options if you need that. They send out coupons and have rewards programs. It's just about my favorite restaurant, ever. read more

I'll admit, even as a self-proclaimed foodie, I sometimes get stuck in the mode of not venturing outside of certain favorites. When it comes to vegan desserts in STL, I stuck with one place, for the most part. As my job often does, it had me in unfamiliar territory, which to my surprise, housed this amazing vegan bakery. It's a cute little house on the corner, so it was easy to find. I loved all of the welcoming signs; they always put me at ease. Inside was just as cute. There's seating on one side and the bakery case and kitchen on the other. I wasn't expecting this little, unknown-to-me bakery to have so many options, but there was quite a bit from which to choose. I grabbed a variety after the nice young lady advised me of the buy 5 get one free deal. BUTTERSCOTCH cupcake: OMG This may be my new favorite thing! Whomever created this vegan version, excelled! Sweet, rich, buttery, butterscotch atop a light and fluffy cupcake. I need to know if they come in full cake sizes. Divine!! LEMON cupcake: I was not expecting this to make it to the top of the list. The mixture of the air-light cupcake and whatever heavenly magic went into the icing made this an instant favorite. Excellent! VANILLA CONFETTI ORANGE DREAMSICLE Both of the aforementioned cupcakes were yummy. The Orange Dreamsicle tastes like summer, and the Vanilla Confetti is birthday ready. Yum! The Double Fudge was good. It was just like a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing. I didn't taste that rich, thick fudge that I'm used to with fudge cupcakes. But again, it was good. I tried some cookie sandwiches and the caramel cookie with caramel icing in the middle was my favorite. Scrumptious! Lastly, the cupcake parfaits. I got a double fudge and a snickerdoodle. Both were good. I am so happy to find more amazing vegan desserts in the STL area (it's just a short drive from STL, and it's so worth it!). I hope to make it over again soon to get more desserts and to try their Saturday brunch. read more

First time trying and was excited to know they had vegan options. We ended up ordering Chik'n and waffles, breakfast tacos, cinnamon roll, and a vanilla confetti cupcake. The service was great and helpful. They prefer cash due to a 1 percent charge added if you use card. The overall ambiance was nice due to outdoor seating and a few tables inside. They also have soft playing music in the background while you wait. Lastly, the restaurant was very well lit, colorful and full of posters and signs. read more

This cute lil off the beaten path VEGAN restaurant is quaint. Atmosphere: The decor is Farmhouse chic. The owner has created an experience for Vegans and beginner Vegans to indulge in for the better! Animals are friends NOT food here. Everyone is welcome in this NO HATE ZONE! Woman owned/Safe zone!! Seating: take your pick! Outside on the porch (with heat lamp), event room (seats 8), family/dining area (seats 6 + high chair) and the main dining room (seats 12). I'm sure you can rent the entire place out easily!! Staff: Everyone was super hospitable and no matter how busy they got... the atmosphere was super chill! Food: Well we tried just about everything. I forgot to take a photo of the BLT & our desserts! We asked to have everything split in half so that our party of 3 could sample. ~The BLT (secret ingredients) made the bacon crispy, salted to perfection and delicious! "WINNER". ~The Philly Cheesesteak (seitan) was phenomenal! I'd never had a Philly Cheesesteak and I can tell you, You won't miss the meat because this delicious sandwich is packed with flavor and it looks good. ~The Grilled cheese sandwich was a bit on the dry side. I'm sure we could have added something to it but for the sake of having so much food, it was ok. It was cooked just right ( yes, VEGAN). ~The Falafel. I'm a falafel and hummus fan. You can't go wrong with this pita wrapped sandwich. Even the French fries and pickle were tasty. ** Millionaire Cupcakes (chocolate cake topped with Cookie dough and drenched in chocolate frosting and 14k gold!!! **Pistachio Chocolate Chip Cookies-- buttery tasting pistachio flavored yumminess When the warmer season comes... expect this place to be packed! They have 3 outside raised garden beds... they are getting ready to get their spring/summer time freshness ON! TIP... Order your food ahead of time if you want a to-go order. Because although today was a slow day, they had lots of foot traffic and phone orders plus, it was a rainy spring day! read more

Last night I arrived home after a business trip and 5 hours of driving. I was tired and hungry - never a good combination. I decided to stop at one of my favorite places in town - The Happy Bakery. I need some cookies, a meal, and some kindness. I received all. The staff and the owner are beyond kind and the food is delicious! Those tater tots. Oh my gosh!! Thank you HB!! Love you all! read more

Such a quaint and beautiful like cafe. The entire place is cozy and welcoming. I love the French feel to the ambiance. The workers were so friendly and polite. Now on to the important part THE FOOD! It was incredible. I mean there isn't any vegan places in the area, so being delicious and close is a must for me. I got the Buffalo chick'n ranch and it was mouth watering! The entire thing was cooked so well and better than any vegan meal I've made for myself lol. Compliments to the chef. The homemade chips were so moist and fresh I smiled the entire time I ate them. I also had to try the strawberry crunch cupcake. It was so amazing, I have no other words to describe it other than exquisite. My husband got the brownie and I tried a piece and it was so chocolaty and delicious. I will be returning. Thank you so much Happy Bakery for an amazing lunch! read more

Absolutely my favorite place for brunch or a sweet treat. This is a woman-owned small business and the staff couldn't be better.

I've loved this place for years and figure it's time to write a review! As a vegetarian, this is one of the very few places I enjoy eating out at in the Metro East. I'm a decent cook and picky about quality so it takes a lot to impress me. The Happy Bakery impresses me! The food is always on point, and I feel good after eating it which is a win-win. Whether you go for the core menu or the specials, weekday menu or brunch, everything is delicious. My favorite is the bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato sandwich with a side of mac n cheese. The cake boxes always satisfy my sweet tooth. So good! The space is small so I often get my goods to go, but I enjoy the ambiance while I wait. The decor is cute and I truly appreciate the inclusive, welcoming signage. The staff is good, and the owner herself is a lovely human being with delightful energy. Happy Bakery, please stay open forever, ILY. read more

I am vegan-adjacent, so I go to a lot of vegan restaurants and I judge them on a different scale. If this restaurant was not categorized vegan, I would give it only three stars because the food didn't taste that great. However, for a vegan restaurant my standard is lower, so I gave it a 4. If your health or morality doesn't dictate a vegan diet, you can find way better places to eat than this. NOTE: You are charged 3% more for using a credit OR debit card. You must place your order at the counter, but you are not expected to bus your own table. read more

I made my first visit to The Happy Bakery after many positive reviews on our community page. I am not vegan but I enjoy any well made desserts! The building is in a part of town that was residential but now has commercial and residential-THIS IS NOT A HOUSE! Back to the review-The staff was really sweet, took the time to explain items & told me what the best sellers were. At their suggestion I went with the oatmeal cream pies. I also got a lemon cake. These cakes are the un-used parts from sculpted cakes. I LOVE that they don't just throw the excess away! YAY for sustainability! The flavor, texture, sweetness was on point! I would have never known it was vegan. The oatmeal cream pies were equally outstanding. I let my son and husband try them. They couldn't tell any difference and gobbled those things up! I'm going to try some savory offerings on my next visit. This is a great small business that is needed in our community. read more

The Happy Bakery is by and far my go-to for a quick lunch when I am craving a hearty, healthy nosh. I absolutely love the falafel wrap. It is so tangy and fresh and hits all of the flavor notes that my tummy, heart and soul need! Also, when you go in, the staff never fail to greet you so pleasantly and every person that walks in, if they aren't a regular, it sure seems like they are, because the staff greets everyone so warmly and comfortably, it is like walking into a big giant hug. I've yet to try a food here that isn't delicious and seriously, don't leave without trying a cookie, a crème pie or a cupcake. It's cozy, it's lovely, and they have great coffee and WiFi, so if you need to get a little work done, definitely stop in! read more

Came here with a large group on a recommendation while in town. We place our order in advance and love the service. We were able to enjoy the nice weather and sat outside to enjoy our meal. You can tell this is a popular joint as we were ordering online, the popular items were sold out. We were able to snag the loaded savory roll and BLT sandwiches. We got the BLT with fries - and omg they knocked it out of the park! As an omnivore, I wasn't expecting for the food to taste this delicious. Our group enjoy the sandwiches and the well seasoned fries. You can't order all that food without something sweet. Let me tell you just writing this review has me foaming for the delicious cupcake. I truly wish I had bought more before heading back down south to Texas. The cupcake was so moist and flavorful. My daughter and I shared the confetti cupcake and she barely gave me anything but a morsel of it. If I'm making a trip up North again I am definitely stopping by to get otw of their baked goods. read more

If i moved across the world, id still come and visit Belleville Illinois just for this Bakery. For the staff, the food, drinks, service, setting, its an impeccable spot. These people feed me better than my mother did. And everything is vegan... I could not ask for more. But, we get more. Charlie always has a moment to share benevolence with you, even when she is busy beyond how any regular person can comprehend. Vegan cakes, baked and crafted to perfection? She and her wonderful, sweet, dear staff members all deserve to be kissed on the head by an angel. I adore this place . I'd name my children after their weekly specials . ps countless times when i bite into something new here i say wow this is the best thing ive ever tasted in my life. The Happy Bakery made me realize i would eat absolutely anything as long as its vegetarian. GO VEGGIES... I LOVE YOU HAPPY BAKERY.... read more

Food was okay; service was okay, stairs and railing definitely need some attention; too wobbly for this old lady!

I want to take a moment and thank Charlie and Kristen for making my husband's promotion such a cool day. They stole the show with this amazing 3-tiered cake: chocolate with Oreo, white chocolate with raspberry, and carrot cake. Everyone raved about the cake and was so impressed. I was, and still am, so pleased and thrilled about the cake! Thank you ladies so much. I think we set a new precedent for how promotion cakes will look -- absolutely amazing. read more

It's 10:00 at night, and I'm writing this review because I'm craving one of their pecan cupcakes! I had a craving for late night munchies, and I tried to be healthy by eating some beets. I ate them, but I'm still craving something else. That didn't work, but I get an A for effort, I suppose. Anyway, I came in last week just to take a little break from work and grab a treat, and my goodness I was pleasantly surprised. Apparently hey be been here for a few years, but there's no way an introvert like myself would have known. I've lived in the area for a little over two years. Clearly I haven't done enough exploring, because this place is a GEM! Shame on me for not coming earlier! I was pleasantly surprised to see a BLM sign in their window [take ALLLLLL my money!], and the place is decorated SO nicely! The ladies were super nice. I saw on the front porch in the cushioned bench table while I waited for my burger and fries to be prepared. It was JUST the kind of break I needed. The breeze was blowing nicely, and the porch has a nice view of the road. I couldn't have been happier, to the extent that I didn't even notice how much the food cost. I have no idea. All I know is that my snickerdoodle and pecan cupcakes were BOMB and the burger was nice as well. It was thoughtfully made, right down to the choice of the bun and the beautifully ripened tomatoes. It was that good and the experience was that pleasant that I just didn't notice the cost. Nor did I remember to take a picture of the food. And you guys know the food was HITTIN if you forgot to take a picture of it. TLDR: Snickerdoodle and Pecan cupcakes were excellent. Burger and fries were nice as well. Location, staff, and ambiance are GOLD. Will be back. Totally recommend. read more
