I just got the e-mail notice too, and although I've never been there it's definitely sad news.

First "To Life," now "Happy Happy Happy" :(

It is sad , I thought it would do really well. I went there a bunch of times when they first opened but then found a brand of cookie and deserts I actually liked better. I recommend them highly they are called Kates Baked goods. The cookies and brownies are so good. One of the restaurants in the GFRAP Bistango (great food!!!) has even started selling their biscotti for desert. You guys should check them out- the goods do not taste gluten free at all- theya re delicious everyone in my family is addicted to them and I am the only one with celiac.

Oooohh, Kate's Baked Goods sounds good. Can these be ordered online? Or are they only found in stores?

They sell them at Westerly and Integral Yoga. I asked at Integral and the women there said they were very accomadating and if you email them they will deliver them. The address she gave me was katesgoods@gmail.com. You really have to try them, I have been meaning to eamil them to see what else they selll so if you do let me know what they say about delivering.

Hey all,

I emailed kates Baked goods and placed an order. They sent me a sweet email and apologized for not having their website up and a product list so I was still able to order. I can't wait til it gets here!!!

It's sad that Happy Happy Happy is closing...but I think Open Original Shared Link is actually better. It's not far from where Happy is/was, and everything I've had so far has been delicious.

I'm glad you said that b/c i have been wondering about babycakes for a while now-- do you have any idea what their hours are? I have tried to go there twice now and both times they were closed! I'm dying to try it :P

I'm not entirely sure of their hours; I've only been in the evenings. The phone number is 212 677 5047, and there's a sign on their website that says they're now delivering in Manhattan...so hopefully, you'll be able to try them soon! I liked the carrotcake cupcakes the best, but they also had a tasty-looking chocolate-brownie concoction.

CARROTCAKE CUPCAKES!!!!! You made my day :D I went once during the day and once on a sat night (around 10) and it was closed both times but im working on trying to get myself down there soon. I live in midtown so its not exactly the kind of place ill "stop by and see if its open" but next time ill call first! Thanks so much

It seems like all gluten friendly places have weird hours. They like to make our lives more difficult. Ok But I just wanted to let you guys know that I got my delivery from Kates Baked Goods today and the stuff is great. My roommate( non celiac) and I split the brownie and both agree its one of the best we've had- gluten free or not. I got a bunch of the cookies too and cannot wait to try them. You guys should really look into them

I have to say, while of course it's sad when we lose any of our few options, I won't miss Happy Happy Happy nearly as much as I would Risotteria, both because I much prefer Risotteria's cookies and because I found the people at Happy Happy Happy a little snotty - I was so excited to be getting gluten-free baked goods (that I didn't have to make myself) and they kind of made me feel uncomfortable.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for...

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
