I'm not the biggest fan of sweets or desserts but this place is always worth a visit.

This is at least a monthly stop for me. I always grab at least one food option and two desserts. Today was the rice ball, chocolate cheesecake and chocolate peanut butter brownie. Lots of gluten free options too.

I keep wanting to love this place. The desserts have great flavor but almost all of them have a chalky texture. The HoHos are the exception, they are light, airy and delicious.

Great vegan bakery with a bunch of GF options too! I’m not GF, but it’s great to see so many options. I had a few things and everything was delicious! I especially loved the “chicken” ranch wrap! So glad I was able to check it out here!

We had the most AMAZING visit at PAPA GANACHE this morning - We've recently discovered that my Hubby is Lactose Intolerant and you know how it is, you crave the things you can't have, lol
Now, thanks to PAPA GANACHE nothing is off the table - The selection of Vegan cookies, cakes and bread is incredible, an Apple Cider Donut was popped in the warmer for us to nibble on whilst we picked out other goodies.
We were even "gifted" a sprinkle cookie, something I like to call a Random Act of Kindness - thanx a million ?
We'll definitely be back. Thanx for taking such good care of us.
Hugs From Us To You!

This was my first visit to get some gluten free and vegan baked goods for a friend last week. The staff was knowledgeable on the items and help me choose an assortment. After tasting the baked goods, they are incredible and you would never know they were vegan and gluten free. Really delicious and incredible. I'll be back for sure.
If you need to grab a quick and delicious vegan snack, cupcakes, cookies, or a refrigerated meal that taste really good, this is your place, a lil pricey but good
We just stopped by to see what exactly they have IN the store… and they were sooo nice and knowledgeable about all things gluten free AND vegan! They were just sincerely COOL people. And then we left with this pumpkin crumb muffin and a cinnamon roll from their breakfast menu, a raspberry cupcake with filling… 3 cider donuts, and two cake pops. I’m healing from PPMS with Ataxia and just started walking again. My diet is incredibly strict, so I don’t eat out, almost ever. I’m SOO glad I went. Every single thing we tasted was amazing. Oh wait, and they threw in an everything bagel …I’m saving that for later! But everything was wonderful. Almost overwhelmingly so lol. Couldn’t recommend more… it’s my new favorite place.
Parking: It’s right in Cranford next to their paid parking lot. We parked on the street with our handicapped parking plates. Tons of parking.
This place blew me away. I hunted for the best gf/vegan bakery and I finally found it. You are greeted by amazing staff that can answer any question but if they can’t, there is a binder of each item and it’s ingredients, so you are reassured. I have severe allergies and even when a bakery says that they can accommodate me, I get anxious, praying they have a dedicated kitchen and have protocols in place.
But that’s enough of that. Let’s move on to the product. I’ve tried so far, since I came twice in 3 days, the brookie, the brownie, Italian cookie bar, chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake and the lemon blueberry crumb cake. They were all a 10/10 but I loved the cheesecake the most because it’s the best cheesecake I’ve gotten from a vegan place that tastes better than regular cheesecake. The crumb cake was probably my favorite even though it’s such a basic thing, the flavors were unreal. I will continue to come and eat my way through the menu. So happy I found my new safe place

This is a nice vegan spot with lots of gluten free options. The cupcakes, cakes, and brownies are very good. The creme brûlée cupcakes and peanut butter brownies are sure to impress. There are some big hits but also some misses in my opinion. The bagels and donuts are not great. The bagels are flatter and more rubbery than other vegan bagels I’ve had and staff does not have the means to cut or toast them—not all bakeries that sell bagels toast or cut them, but just be prepared if you’re going for a bagel run. I also had a Boston cream donut that was thick and bready. If you’re picking up treats for guests, you can please them with items aside from the bagels and donuts. I usually finish whatever I buy here, but I could not do so with the bagel or donut. Four stars instead of three for food due to the sheer amount of gluten free options.

I got a decaf iced latte and this lemon-blueberry thing. The latte was made with oat mylk and was really good. The pastry was great also, it tasted freshly made. I definitely want to stop by again and try more things.
Besides sweets, they also have ready-to-eat savory things like pastas and sandwiches.
The only thing that I didn’t like is that there is no seating inside or outside. I don’t think there’s a bathroom either.
