This shop has the best donuts I've ever had, and they're allergy friendly??? Amazing.

Omg! I cannot say enough about how amazing Happy Bellies is! I wish they weren't 4hrs away We detoured 30min out of our way on a road trip and I am so glad we did! They had so many options I was overwhelmed! Our server was very patient and kind when I clearly failed to realize the line only moved one direction but my indecisiveness had me going back and forth! Everything we bought was amazing, my non allergy husband even commented on how good the food was! The plan had been to freeze most of what we had purchased, due to a power outage at our final destination, we ended up eating all of the treats we bought Even after several days they still tasted great! Not dried up as I worried they'd be. I hope to be back this way sometime to visit again! read more

Lovely bakery with a surprisingly large square footage. Everything is gluten-free, hence the happy bellies! From what I tried, most items had that "It's GF? You can tell" taste to them. The chocolate chip cookie was a little grainy. The donut and vanilla cupcake were very dense. Only the raw pumpkin cheesecake and the fudge cupcake had less of the obvious GF traces in taste. Still, such a cool spot and lots of vegan options. If in the area again, I'd try them again. read more

It's a great place for those that have food allergies or intolerance. Loved everything I bought: donuts, brownies and cupcakes. People are very friendly and the ambiance is great. Unfortunately, I did not take pics of my order. read more

Super nice staff, delicious treats that are good for those with food allergies and very clean!

Delicious bakery with options for different dietary needs/preferences. I've only ever gotten their donuts, but they are very good. They are very dense, so keep that in mind you probably won't need to eat as many as donuts from say, Dunkin'. The staff has always been very helpful as we try to select donuts and check out. They have tables to eat there, and a cooler with some cold drinks to purchase to have with your donuts. They're a little pricier than other place; however, not surprising given they are more specialty donuts. They also have different flavors (I picked up a candy cane one the other day, very pepperminty and good!) Definitely a place to check out! read more

Delicious gluten-free food. These are the best gluten-free donuts I've ever had. They also offer taken bake options of different, gluten-free, vegan, and dairy free sweets. read more

Happy Bellies Bake Shop - a box of cupcakes - Bakeries Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

This place is amazing. I went head with my daughters. Since my one daughter has started eating gluten free because of allergies she has had to give up a lot of the things she normally was eating. My daughter found Happy Bellies and have been raving about it. I was a little lost at the ordering process at first, it's a busy place. But once you get the hang of things it's worth it. The food is so enjoyable!! Honesty you would not know it's gluten free. Yumm! You need to go here! My daughters are so amazing, they now get me scones and donuts and ship them to Florida so I can continue to enjoy than. read more

Best GF food in the area. My sister has celiac disease and she introduced me to Happy Bellies when she was in town visiting, and now I'm becoming a regular. Everyone who works there is SO friendly, they smile, make eye contact, and genuinely care you are there. The shop is always clean and inviting. 100% recommend Happy Bellies for everyone with food allergies, but those without will love it too! read more

We were so happy to find a dedicated gluten free bakery even if its an hour away. Everything was fabulous!!!

They also make cakes for special occasions and will make cakes, cookies, doughnuts, brownies to order if called in advance. read more

If you ONLY need gluten-free, this is a wonderful option since it is a dedicated gluten-free bakery and their baked goods are incredibly delicious. If you need to exclude other allergens, as well, BEWARE! While they have made efforts to have dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free options available, they were not diligent in helping us select items that were egg-free on a recent visit and my daughter got TERRIBLY sick. We walked in and clearly indicated we needed egg-free and nut-free items. The person helping us said all the blue and yellow tagged items were safe. Despite this, as an extra precaution, we then went through one-by-one with each item we picked confirming that each one was ok and we were told they were. At one point, the person even asked, "Do you have to avoid dairy, too, or just eggs?" (So we know she clearly knew we needed to avoid eggs.) We confirmed our allergies were just to eggs and nuts, not dairy. So, we happily left with 6 cupcakes and 3 doughnuts and, a bit later on our drive, we each ate a cupcake. Within minutes of finishing her cupcake, my 16-year-old daughter said her stomach hurt. As it got worse and worse over the next half hour, I called the bakery and they confirmed that the cupcake my daughter ate did, in fact, contain eggs. She endured 8 hours of vomiting and severe diarrhea all because someone wasn't careful to ensure they were giving us accurate information. I hate to imagine the even more severe outcome had this occurred with her allergies that are anaphylactic. Seriously so disappointed. They didn't even apologize on the phone. read more

First time going here, and I am in love. Best donut I have had. So dense and moist and delicious. I got the chocolate drizzle donut and the cherry almond scone. The scone is also softer than most, and moist. Which I honestly prefer.

So happy to have a place we can find nut and dairy free treats that actually taste good!

I've been living a mostly paleo, mostly gluten-free lifestyle since about 2009, so I was beyond thrilled to spot this place. Today's purchases: almond flour scones with raspberries and a zucchini almond flour brownie. The scones were very soft, not quite as much texture as a traditional wheat-flour scone. However they were delicious and not over-sweet which made me very happy. The brownie. . . aaahhhhhhhhh. It pretty much just tasted exactly how a brownie is supposed to taste and made me even more happy. It was very very rich, so I ate only a slice of it. The shop is adorably cute and you can get coffee and whatnot there. Delightful selection of GF treats. You will be glad you took the time! read more

Ohhhh the money I could spend and the weight I could gain coming here. This is a gluten-free bakery that uses locally-sourced ingredients. I had never had a gluten free option before and was leery when a friend brought us cupcakes from Happy Bellies. Oh me of little faith. After that first cupcake, I stopped in a few mornings later and bought a slice of cinnamon roll cake. AND MY FACE ALMOST MELTED FROM THE GOODNESS! I went in the next morning for another slice and then forced myself into restraint. I learned the hard way was that this shop is closed on Mondays. My birthday was on a monday this year and I had planned to pick up cupcakes for my family and I. I was pretty bummed. But, that disappointment aside, Happy Bellies is worth your time! read more

Amazing local bakery! My new favorite in the Fox Valley! I am not someone that usually selects gluten free or vegan baked goods but I was so impressed by the cupcakes at this place! They are phenomenal! I love the unique flavors and they are beautifully decorated. Super friendly staff. All around amazing & delicious options and nice to bring to events so everyone can enjoy them since they are all GF and often vegan! read more

I've been to multiple gf bakeries (portland, milwaukee, chicago, etc) and Happy Bellies is my favorite. When you think of a traditional cookie, muffin, treat, etc - Happy Bellies makes gf and vegan sweets taste better than gluten varieties. Akin to mom's cookies, rather then attempting to come off as overly gourmet, paleo, or in line with a trend - this place just has awesome treats. If you did want a paleo or "healthy" vegan/gf bakery - Blooming Lotus Bakery in Milwaukee is very good and refreshingly affordable. I do like their bakery very much - but Happy Bellies is my favorite. If I want a sweet treat I don't really care if it's paleo or no added sugar. read more

This bakery is fine, although not the best cupcakes I have ever had in my life, nor the best cupcakes in Appleton. This bakery has a large variety of dessert foods, whether it be cinnamon rolls, different kinds of bars, cookies, donuts or cupcakes, they can all be found here. Personally, I tried the cupcakes and they were not as good as anticipated. I read the reviews and I decided this might be the best place to get cupcakes, and turns out it wasn't. The next day, I went to Rebecca's Sweets Boutique and purchased and consumed cupcakes that were five-times better than the ones I got from Happy Bellies. I did not try any other baked goods other than the cupcakes at this store, so hopefully the other options were not as dissapointing as the cupcakes were. read more

Nice place. Expensive. A bakery and not a donut shop. Food is good, but is gluten free, dairy free etc. If you are looking for high end bakery this is your place. If you are looking for a dozen donuts and coffee, this is not your place. read more
