Why Happy Cinnamon?
People often assume the name comes from our cinnamon buns.
The truth is a little different.
Years ago, we went through a big Gerry Cinnamon phase and became huge fans of his music. It reminds us of a particularly happy chapter in our lives and became the soundtrack to many early mornings, baking sessions and family conversations.
So when it came time to name the bakery, we started playing around with words and somehow "Happy Cinnamon" was born.
The name stayed... and the cinnamon buns too. Not just stayed but also became our signature bakes.
Everything we sell is baked fresh daily in our bakery.
From naturally fermented sourdough and artisan breads to buttery pastries, handmade cakes, cookies and our famous cinnamon buns, every product is made with the same attention to detail that inspired us to start baking in the first place.
We're proud to be a family business, proud to bake everything ourselves, and grateful to be part of the communities we serve in Cheltenham and Nailsworth.
Fresh every morning. Made by our family. Shared with yours.
Our Story
Happy Cinnamon Artisan Bakery is a family-run bakery built on a love of traditional baking, good food and bringing people together.
Our story began long before the bakery opened its doors. After experiencing digestive challenges within the family, we became interested in how food is made and the role that traditional baking methods can play in creating flavourful, wholesome bread. That curiosity led us to sourdough.
What started as baking bread at home quickly became a passion.
We spent years learning the craft, experimenting with recipes and exploring traditional techniques. Eventually, that passion grew into a micro bakery in Budapest before bringing our baking journey to the Cotswolds.
Today, Happy Cinnamon is run by our family, with every loaf, pastry, cinnamon bun, cookie and cake made fresh each day by our team.
We believe great baking starts with simple ingredients, time and care.
That's why our sourdough is naturally fermented, our pastries are made by hand and our shelves are filled fresh every morning.
No shortcuts. No frozen dough. No compromises.
Just honest baking, made properly.
Freshly Baked, Every Day
From naturally fermented sourdough to buttery pastries, cookies, cakes and our signature cinnamon buns, everything is baked fresh each morning in our bakery. Our selection changes with the seasons, allowing us to showcase the best ingredients while keeping beloved bakery favourites on the shelves every day.
Sourdough & Artisan Bread
Fresh every morning and naturally fermented for flavour. Made with time rather than shortcuts, our sourdough sits at the heart of the bakery. Crisp crusts, open crumb and deep flavour are the result of a process we refuse to rush, with both everyday favourites and seasonal creations available throughout the week.
Cookies & Sweet Treats
Freshly baked throughout the day and made in small batches. From chunky cookies and brownies to cakes and seasonal sweet treats, you'll always find something worth saving room for.
Cinnamon Buns
Fresh every morning and rarely around for long. Our cinnamon buns have become a customer favourite, with new seasonal flavours appearing throughout the year alongside the classics.
Fresh every morning and handcrafted from start to finish. From buttery croissants to seasonal specials, our pastries are made to be enjoyed slowly, preferably alongside a great coffee.
Pastries
Seasonal Specials
Guided by the seasons and baked for the moments worth celebrating. From Easter hot cross buns and summer fruit pastries to autumn specials and festive favourites, there's always something new waiting on the shelves.

AMAZING pastries, biscuits, and cakes. As an avid home baker most cafés disappoint with their baked goods but not here! I had a Bakewell (almond & cherry) swirl bun and my son had the Biscoff cookie both were delicious and baked to perfection and to top it off the coffee was also great!! We sat in and it was a fresh and pleasant atmosphere with lovely friendly owners! So glad we stumbled across you, we look forward to seeing you again to try more yummy bakes!
