Owners of Bake Me Happy open new concept


By now, you probably know Bake Me Happy for their delicious gluten-free treats they offer at their German Village-area and Dublin bakeries.
But Letha Pugh, co-owner of Bake Me Happy, said she’s excited to be able to offer the community clean, accessible meals, and not just desserts, at their new café called Core Café, which will be located in the new Bob Crane Community Center in Upper Arlington.
This new state-of-the-art recreation center houses a swimming pool, co-working spaces, and fitness equipment. Before you check-in for their services, the smiling faces at Core Café are there greeting you. And after your workout or work meeting, the healthy food there is waiting for you, too. You don’t have to be a member of the community center to access Core Cafe.

Core Café offers health-conscious, elevated grab & go meals, as well as coffee, smoothies, and gluten-free Bake Me Happy treats. “I want to eat things that will fuel me appropriately,” said Pugh. “And my goal is to be able to provide those clean meals for folks too.”
They’ll be pairing up with local restaurant owners to offer a variety of options of meals, not just focusing on the gluten-free aspect. For example, Sourdough Pizza Bros is now there, offering a more health-conscious pizza. Patrons can eat the meals there in the café space, or just grab one after work or after a work-out to take home.
“Anybody in the community can come in and grab something delicious,” Pugh assured.
Core Cafe is open 7am-7pm Monday through Friday, and 8am-7pm Saturdays and Sundays.
