The Happy Mixer Gluten Free Bakery — Restaurant in Middletown Township

Last week when traveling in PA I discovered The Happy Mixer. I made my family go out of the way just a little bit less than an hour before the store closed. They were still fully stocked with yummy looking treats. We each got a treat "for now", plus I bought a few kiffles (yum), a cinnamon raisin bread, and a lemon pound cake. Everything is amazing. However, the star of my Happy Mixer show is the lemon pound cake. We bought our items on Wednesday, and it is now Monday five days later. I kept the cake in its firm plastic container and carried it home with me in my carry-on luggage along with the bread (lugged it all around NYC), and did not cut into it until this morning. I was worried because the lady in the shop said it should be good for "a couple of days."

This cake is still perfect, and is probably the best cake I've had in years. Not too sweet, just the right amount of lemon, icing over the top, and a definite pound cake consistency and flavor. This cake is also dairy free. I am amazed. I will 100% stop by every time I'm in Philly from now on, and I may have to bring an extra suitcase just for lemon pound cakes. I have a gluten-free bakery here in my town in CO, but The Happy Mixer takes the cake. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the beautiful lemon cake. We visited the Newtown,...

I am extremely pleased with the Happy Mixer in Langhorne, however, Chalfont is another story. I wasn't going to post this review until I saw other reviews about the bugs in the Chalfont location. I bought a small salted caramel cake on June 13, 2023, served it on the 14th. To my horror my mother had a full sized dead lightning bug in her piece. The store was apologetic but didn't seem fazed by the ordeal, just stated that they never see bugs in the facility. However, the other review stated that they leave the back door open sometimes. Very unsanitary. Also saw other bugs in the cases on the food. I was offered not a refund, but a full replacement price worth of items. To my shock the prices were EXTREMELY higher than stated on the website. I had used the website as a guide to figure out what to get since it wasn't a holiday or special event. Their only answer was "Sorry, that's why its posted on the back wall of the store, we forget to update the website ". Sadly, I think it's time to find...

Since being diagnosed with Celiac in 2009, it has been a gradual process over the years to come across GF baked goods that are adequate substitutes for wheat flour-derived baked goods. Two months ago, a friend told me about The Happy Mixer in Newtown. I am hooked! And let me be clear -- the baked goods they create here are not merely "adequate substitutes" for regular baked goods. Rather, they are outrageously delicious baked delicacies that are better than what I ever found in bakeries, pre-Celiac.

I've tried a bunch of the Happy Mixer's stuff -- Cinnamon donuts (soft & fresh), chocolate chip cookies (soft & gooey!), cream cheese brownies, sugar cookies, blueberry muffins, a loaf of the best sandwich bread that I've had since I went GF, and... saving the best for last... a lemon-glazed pound cake that is so unbelievably tasty it defies description. It's a 15-minute drive for me, but I am like a kid in a candy store once...
