We're proud to share that The Happy Apple Pie Shop has officially joined the Easterseals Serving Chicagoland and Rockford family.

For nearly a decade, you've made the Happy Apple so much more than a bakery. Together, we've built a place where homemade pies, inclusive employment, and community come together to create something truly special.

As founder Michelle Mascaro begins her well-earned retirement, we're honored that she has entrusted us with carrying this incredible legacy forward. We're also grateful that Michelle will remain with us as a consultant throughout the transition, helping preserve the traditions, quality, and welcoming spirit you've always loved.

And while the heart of the Happy Apple isn't changing, we're excited to bring you even more to savor. As we prepare for our grand reopening, we're introducing exciting collaborations with award-winning chefs Sarah Stegner and Michael Ciapciak, the Jacques Pépin Foundation, Pastry Chef & Program Manager Margie Sprehe, and Dark Matter Coffee.

Most importantly, every pie, pastry, and cup of coffee will continue to support meaningful employment opportunities for people of all abilities.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for being part of the Happy Apple family. We can't wait to welcome you back and share everything that's ahead.

Follow us if you haven’t already for reopening updates, new menu announcements, and a few sweet surprises along the way.
