Gluten-Free Restaurants near East Hanover, NJ

“I came upon this place through a friend's recommendation, and he was spot on! A good indicator of how delicious the food will be is the taste emanating from the to go bags. It was tough to sit in the car with that phenomenal aroma. Although we didn't try the pizza, the entrées we opted with were delicious. We ordered the rigatoni with meat sauce, and that was pretty good. The chicken cheesesteak with the works (onions, peppers, and mushrooms) were fully loaded. The vegetables were at the bottom and the chicken was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of cheese. I loved the well toasted bun that was very crispy. I would definitely try this place again.“

“Anthony was an excellent server. Very attentive. Pleasant and outgoing person.Made our meal Pleasant. Great personality. We will be back to see him. We usually go to Hackensack but found Wayne to be much tastier and portions just right. Closer to home too. We will be back.“

“Staff was very friendly, chill atmosphere. Everything we had was delicious; chopped salad w/chick pea tuna salad, turkey sandwich, potato salad, cookie dough bite. Definitely get the iced mint lime ginger tea or the hibiscus tea.Be sure to scan the QR code for the full menu with expanded descriptions and additional items.Vegetarian options: All vegan“

“We flew to town, walked into Chef Fredy's and got blown away! Our server was super knowledgeable and gave us great suggestions. The food was absolutely amazing, one dish after another! We split the pear salad. We tried the bone marrow escargot, which was a great twist on how it's usually done. I had the lamb ossobuco. It was cooked to perfection, meat falling off the bone! Finger licking Delicious!! We finished it off with truffle covered pistachios ice cream. They have a great menu. Must try all!“

“I really really really like this place. I ordered penne (a form of pasta) with butter alongside my family, and I love this place very much. The penne is beyond the term exquisite and the butter with it was amazing. I can only say the downside is the physical appearance and even then I like it. It's a little cramped and it's relatively hard to navigate when with a group even though the place is small, but I genuinely love this place very much. Overall on a scale of 1-10, I'm giving this a 9.7 due to the small inconvenience of small size it that's what happens when your located in a strip-mall. Thank you for your service and food!!“

“Had a wonderful dinner date here. Great service and delicious food. Definitely coming back. I reccomend the veal parm. House salad had a nice blend of flavorful greens. My compliments to the entire team.Note, you may consume your own alcohol. They don't have it.Parking: It's a little bit of an odd left turn coming south on Route 53, but there's plenty of parking.“

“I would definitely consider myself a regular. Love their sandwiches and bakery items. The best part about this restaurant is their amazing and friendly staff. Everyone is just so nice and willing to help/answer any questions you have. The bakery is very relaxing so you could definitely get some work done if that's your cup of tea. The only negative I must comment on is that their sandwiches sit under a heated lamp so their bagels can get a bit soggy. P.S. order online as soon as the bakery opens because they do sell out very quickly. Especially on the weekends!“

“I would give this place ten stars if I could. This place is great. My wife has celiac and they are always attentive to her dietary needs which is a big plus for me. The food is great. Prepared well and really huge portions which is great for me because I'm a big eater. Their veal shop is out of this world along with their skirt steak just to mention a couple of dishes. No matter what you order you can't go wrong. I tried their short rib over pasta and I loved it. I'm not even crazy about short ribs accept when I had them at Robert's Scratch Kitchen. They way he makes those short ribs is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. For the desserts, out of this world. The service is great. Any dietary needs, food allergies they will accommodate with great tasting food. If you want to any substitutions they will accommodate you. Great staff. For ambiance, the place is decorated beautifully. Really classy, and really clean. Can't say enough good things about this place. If you are looking for a great meal and service this is the place for you.“

“Ordered a gluten free, sugar free cake for my friends birthday. We were blown away by how good it was! Everyone loved it and would have never known there was no sugar!! Everyone who works there is super friendly also when we had questions about what was in the cake! 10 out of 10!!“

“This is one of my mom's favorite places for coffee. Everything I've tried at Liv Breads is delicious. All the croissants are amazing, but the nutella croissant is ridiculously good. The sandwiches are all fresh, healthy, and satisfying. The coffee is excellent. I love the samples you can try as you wait in line. Had to purchase the cardamon bun after tasting the sample. It is a unique pastry I haven't seen elsewhere, and it is the perfect blend of sweet, spicy, and crunchy. Going back soon to try the baguette which looks delicious.“

“Best Taylor ham egg and cheese around. I told the owner I traveled 3,000 miles to try this place. He said if you don't like it for whatever reason, we'll make it again! The service was excellent and classic Jersey vibes. I will come here again when I visit town. I highly recommend this place.“

“Definitely an experience everyone should take part in !!!Especially if you have Italian in your blood.. ? I have purchased numerous items, from the counter/deli section to the hot bar,/ to the ready made dinners, / also the bakery items...also there fresh meat counter...... Everything I've had was 10 out of 10... The homemade sauces are Awesome.. the meatballs, also the chicken franchise meatballs are amazing !!! There breads ??? I can't keep going on..on.. on.. Can I ???? ??My only downfall is how much I spend, when I walk into this establishment.. lol ??Highly recommend !!!“

“There Food is as delicious, authentic, and of good quality. The freshness of ingredients and the harmony of flavors in dishes like bruschetta are particularly praised1. Silvio's Service is Friendly, attentive, and efficient. Delivery is speedy and customer service is fantastic. Ambiance: Known for its wonderful homemade dishes and sides. Boccone South sets a high standard for an outstanding cuisine and food. Bobby“

“This is such a cute bakery! They have a perfect array of cookies, cupcakes, scones, and other goodies! I've tried the scones, royal frosted cookies, and now the lemon loaf (GF) and have loved them all. It does tend to be busy but the staff is friendly and moves you on through. There is limited outdoor seating nearby so plan to bring your goodies outside or to the car. Prices are not listed for pastries and it isn't cheap - but I say worth it!“

“My family and I had an amazing brunch experience at Agricola! We were a group of 10 people and were seated promptly. Our server, Elvis, was absolutely fantastic - attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. The food and drinks were delicious across the board, with everyone in our group loving their orders. Standout dishes included the heavenly cinnamon roll, creamy burrata, flavorful mushroom pizza, indulgent carrot cake pancakes, and perfectly cooked flank steak & eggs. The ambiance was great for a relaxed Saturday brunch, and the portions were generous without sacrificing quality. Highly recommended for groups looking for a memorable brunch experience!“

“In August of 2023, due to certain health issues, I became vegetarian and in most cases vegan, as well as I was no longer allowed to have wheat based products, so gluten free as well. I started doing a lot of my own cooking, but also at times want to explore foods and especially baked goods, that I am allowed to have without compromising my health, but with great taste. This place absolutely delivers. I tried a cupcake and a doughnut, both delicious and absolutely amazing. We also found out from a young lady that works there, that they make gluten free, vegan and even sugar free cakes, with a long enough notice, to order. I have finally found another place where I can enjoy guilt free deserts with absolutely amazing tastes and that go well with my health driven diet. Love it and absolutely coming back again soon.“

“I was impressed with this restaurant, we enjoyed the food as well as the ambiance and service. I came for a business lunch. Ate inside the porch area that was enclosed. I thought the service was very good in terms of attentiveness. The food we got was flat bread pizza for appetizer, pepperoni with hot honey was delicious. The burger tasted great cooked perfectly when I ordered a medium, presentation was nice as I ordered a salad instead of French fries. Most importantly they had Aqua Pana for water. I did think the prices were a bit inflated and expensive however their service made up for it.“

“I found my new favorite bakery! I was in the area craving a pastry and found this on google, did not disappoint! I tried a few things like a chocolate croissant, powdered donut, tiramisu, cheesecake and a strawberry creme puff. Every single one was delicious, fresh and light. I'm upset I didn't leave with more, a hidden gem and a must try!“

“First and foremost, before I even discuss the food I want to address the fact that all of the staff at the diner today seemed genuinely happy to be there. Having worked in food service, that’s generally unheard of. Big props to the owner/ management for creating an environment like that.Now the food: I’m gluten intolerant. I couldn’t contain my smile when I saw the extensive gluten free options and heard of the lengths the kitchen goes to ensure allergy safety. I can’t remember the last time I have had so many wonderful options and could order something so easily. I got the chicken fingers and they were wonderful.Lastly: Safe is a fantastic server and very clearly cares a lot about the diner patrons. Every table that gets him as their server is just as lucky to have him as the diner is.Thank you for a great dinner ? I will be back OFTEN“

“Loved pizza before, but cant anymore due to recent health issues. Love that this place has "no cheese" and "light sauce" as options! I know that "isnt pizza anymore", but it's closer to pizza than I recently have been having!Dietary restrictions: Options for no cheese, less sauce, etc. Excellent!Parking: 20 spots shared amongst a few businessesWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp“

“Freud de Sel is an amazingly dangerous bakery to my waistline and wallet. When I go in, I can’t resist the call of those tantalizing pastries and desserts. Everything that I’ve tried has been wonderful. Their baguette is perfection. All the desserts are works of art. Love that we have such an authentic French bakery in Chatham. Glad it is a bit of a drive from my house to keep me out of trouble. lol.“

“I love using this Company make the best Cupcakes. I use them every year for different occasions. It was my first time picking up order from Baked Bouquet in Edison, New Jersey. The service was good In the employees were very helpful. Wife said that the Cupcakes were very delicious and she loved them For her valentine gift.“

“Service was fantastic. I placed my order for an assortment of cupcakes the morning of the event. Then called a few hours later to see if I could come earlier to pick them up. Great service. Pick up Window was organized and no wait really. Cupcakes were packed so cute and boy were they delicious. Will order again thank you“

“This is our favorite Friday night pizza place! We order delivery and look forward to this almost every week. The pizza is always delicious. The gluten free pizza has the yummiest gluten free crust I’ve ever had. Love the chicken francese. Super yummy bread (I dream about it sometimes lol) and just had the Burrata special - sublime! Creamy fresh Burrata, arugula, prosciutto, tomato, and balsamic glaze- Yes! ?“

“I had a fantastic experience here! The food was so good that I wanted seconds of everything we ordered. The service was also fantastic; our server was incredibly nice and helpful, consistently checking in on our table to see if we needed anything and ensuring we never waited too long. The atmosphere was delightful, and everything was clean and neat. If I could, I would give this restaurant six stars. I will definitely be going back soon!“

“Harvest Bistro is absolutely incredible! This has been a favorite lunch spot of ours for years. We also recently worked with them to cater my son's baptism party and we were so impressed. Every single guest commented on how delicious the food was. Several people even told us it was the best food they had ever had from a caterer. Tushar is so helpful and easy to work with too. We'll definitely be going back to Harvest Bistro for all of our future parties!“

“We order from Mario's for our Religious School and sometimes social hour after services. This week we were supposed to get food from another local vendor, but even with confirmation, they did not show up and told us they forgot. Mario's to the RESCUE! I called them and they quickly brought us 10 pies and Saved The Day! Thank you Mario's! They are never late, the kids and adults love not only the pizza's but every dish we have ordered from them. We are lucky to have them in our community.“

“I used to love this place. I wonder if they’re still opened. I went on a Sunday afternoon. Sign on door said closed. Two weeks later I called on a Saturday because I didn’t want to take the drive to find out they’re closed. No answer at all. I called several times. If you’re still opened please get it together. I miss this place.Update: ok I gave it another try. They were open and I had the best vegan broth. Now the immunity is my second favorite. Thanks for getting it together ???“

“Strolling through town a wanted a little snack to go with my healthy smoothie from earlier. I walked in and was warmly greeted by a cheerful guy. After checking out the menu, I asked him what his favorites were and he made all the tacos sound so delicious. I was kinda of leaning towards a bowl, but after hearing all the taco goodness I grabbed a Cajun shrimp taco to hold me over till later.Turns out the guy I was chatting with was the owner, Todd. Really great to interact with him, super passionate about this place.Service was fast, taco was $6ish, and it was really tasty. I should've grabbed a deal for three, but I'll be back to eat more another day. You should too!“

“Willowbrook is a great mall, and in a prime shopping area. Lots to do in this area and a family could definitely spend the day!They have a cute vegan bakery here and a few places with vegan options as well!Usually packed on the weekends, but that’s because it’s a fun mall!“

“We ordered a cookie decorating kit and cheesecake for Christmas. That was by far THE BEST cheesecake we’ve ever had. The cookie kit was great too. The smell inside the bakery was amazing and the actual cakes were too!! Definitely ordering again.“

“Super friendly servers. Went alone and was offered a seat at large hightop with another group, because it had an outlet for my laptop. The other folks were nice and left me to my work. Mushroom goatcheese omelet was awesome, as was the toasted rye bread...I think they bake all their own bread. Will definitely go back if I'm in that neck of the woods again.Kid-friendliness: There were at least two toddlers sitting with their moms who did well.“

“The food and wine were outstanding - one of the best meals I've had for a long time. One of us had Osso Buco, I had Filet and my partner had a Chilean sea bass special. Each dish was perfect. The pumpkin cheesecake was creamy light and spiced beautifully. The restaurant had a lovely warm ambiance.“

“The food is solid. Had a falafel sandwich and hummus. They both were very good. My daughter and son had chicken and beef shawarma sandwiches and enjoyed them. The server was very sweet and kind and took good care of us. We are used to the location in Metuchen which is nicer inside. The seating was rather pedestrian. I think they were having problems with their exhaust, as there was an unpleasant smoke from the grill wafting in the air. Next time, takeout.Vegetarian options: Falafels, salad, hummus and other apps“

“This place is amazing! We went there for the first time today - food is delicious and healthy, and the people are so friendly. Easy and fast to get to off 80. Will definitely be back next time we pass through the area!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

“We went specifically for sugar free items, and they do have a small selection, plus other low sugar options. Everything is very well labeled with the ingredients and types of sweeteners used. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and spent a lot of time talking to us about the treats that would work well for our diet restrictions. Prices are reasonable, so we stocked up! Most items can be frozen to keep longer.The cookies and truffles were very yummy. We got some of the "brookies" (brownie cookie smash up) for our kids who usually eat regular, full sugar treats, and they loved them.This isn't really a dine in place; it's take out, or they ship. The "store" area is pretty small. Most of the space is taken up by the actual bakery.Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free here!“

“I cannot get enough of Keeping You Sweet Sweet Potato Cheesecake! I love desserts and eat them often, and I must say that the Sweet Potato Cheesecake easily makes it to the top of my list. It is SO delicious, I purchase it every time I see it when it is available at my local Whole Foods. There was one week I went to Whole Foods 4 times, I bought the cheesecake 4 times that week. Yes, it is that good. I hope that Whole Foods will pick up other flavors!!!!“

“Went to this diner / burger pop up spot when it was in burger pop-up mode. Nice, spacious, clean interior. Not an extensive menu but what they did offer was fantastic. The burgers were cooked as requested, juicy and well seasoned and to top it all off ... Jersey bounce sauce. I don't know what's in that sauce but I put it on everything ! Reasonably priced and courteous service. Definitely a place to go back to and try additional burgers.“

“Juice Caboose is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to eat healthy without sacrificing flavor or variety. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or a full meal, the options are plentiful and the service is top-notch. If you're in the area, be sure to make a stop at Juice Caboose - you won't be disappointed!“

“Delicious, as ever! We're also enjoying take out pizzas, salad, garlic knots tonight, while we watch football!I'm enjoying a GF Grandpa Pizza. It's AMAZING!Vegetarian options: Many salads, sandwiches, pasta dishes.Dietary restrictions: I need Gluten Free, and they have a great GF pizza crust there, or GF Penne pasta.Parking: Shared parking lot in a strip mall.Kid-friendliness: We have been taking our teens there, since they were little. The staff is wonderful!Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty open floor plan with plenty of room between the tables. They offer both booths & tables that wheelchair patrons can sit at.“

“Van Gogh's Ear Cafe has been a fixture in union for quite a few decades. Yes decades ! Atmosphere is very different and unique let's say it has evolved from one year to the next. Sorta my grandma used to have one or I remember seeing it somewhere. Service is very efficient. Very on the money. Although the decor changes by the minute the food is not to be overlooked. Especially there BLT it's Outstanding to say the least. A must try.“

“We order Tito’s very often. It’s not always consistent but tonight it was really good. Everything was fresh, well cooked and fast. I will say anytime it’s not good and so am asked for a review, I let them know and they always make good on it.“

“Chef V- Absolutely love everything about my delivery of fresh cold pressed juice, detox soup, protein shakes, and schedule for the detox! The order process was easy, delivery was very smooth. Driver called me at 3:45am (still asleep) but my delivery was waiting by my door at 4am promptly. The 2 day pre cleanse instructions was simple, and easy. Cutting out dairy, sugar, caffeine, meat (vegetarian) so that was no big deal. I thought not having caffeine was going to be a tough one, as a avid coffee drinker, that uses raw specialty sugar, no refined sugars. Did not realize how addictive sugar can be, and I hope to lessen my sugar habit. This juice cleanse is not for a fast weight loss after Thanksgiving but it's a lifestyle for me. Not having to think about meal prep, and food makes this easy. Don't have any medical issues such as high cholesterol, diabetes, or blood pressure issues. But I am sure this is going to make my Doctors jealous that my routine blood work is better than theirs! To be honest "Nothing tastes, as good as skinny feels"! And I don't feel like chewing, so I will be sipping these juices right into the New Years!“

“Update to my previous review. While it was certainly frustrating, the owner, Vinnie, called me several times afterwards to make things right. He apologized, took ownership, and was genuine. I couldn't ask for much more. I plan to order from them again given Vinnie's hands-on approach and personal touch. Their sandwiches were actually also very tasty (we got a mixed platter).“

“Im so thankful for John and the entire staff at the Village Inn (Wayne). The venue we were going to use for our daughter's baby shower canceled on us. John was able to accommodate our party. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and I was provided time to decorate.“

“I absolutely love Dough Palace! I have been having their items for close to 2 years now. Everytime there is something new and delicious. It is the best food item to crave your sweet tooth while focusing on gains! I personally love the truffles. Just last night I had a brownie topped with oreo pro dough and cookie. I heated a small piece up for 30 seconds and it was amazing! 5/5 everytime!“

“My frist time there all was good, but this time just Wow. The steak was very under cooked and very over seasoned. The amount of peper was enough for 4 steaks. The service was rushed. Got dinner before we finished the appetizers. The dessert tasted old. Not sure if I will give it another try ! Sad because the frist time I was amazed.Well tried it again and food and service was very good. Will try again and update it . Maybe last time just had wrong cook and serve“

“When I say this I mean this with the highest form of complements if you ever heard of Zin burger this is the reincarnated version of that. Everything is tasty I'll be back here as often as I can. Great work here guysVegetarian options: My wife has never tried beyond burger but it was satisfying to try this here. In her words it tastes just like a burger. We have to keep this place open.“

“We were disappointed with our meal and the service, however, the owner, Paolo, called me immediately to apologize and rectify. I have heard only accolades prior to this and simply because of the wonderful professionalism of Paolo we will give it another try.“

“Cute little restaurant with a nice staff. I’ve been looking for good ramen spots in the area and this was not as good as I wanted it to be. The spicy ramen was not spicy and the broth was a little bland. The noodles were cooked well though. I’ve heard good things about this spot so maybe I’ll have to give it another chance.Now for my standard comments as of December 2023. Location is kept clean and seating is well distanced. Not sure if they have any room for outdoor seating though.“
