I have been to Papa Ganache a handful of times to try and give it the benefit of doubt ..however each time has proven to be worse than the last .Being gluten free is a challenge in itself and super costly, so when I stumbled upon Papa Ganache I was extremely excited,that is until i tried their extremely dried out cupcakes , their flavorless oatmeal cookies, the worst cheesecake I have ever had in my life and let's not even talk about the already prepared food that I purchased from the refrigerator.I had gotten lasagna and it was so salty I had to throw it in the trash ... If I could rate this place a 0 I would based on their products .I really really wanted to like it and as you can tell I gave them a handful of tries but honestly they are just over priced ,not fresh, and tasteless..Don't let looks fool you guys ..Perhaps maybe they need to taste the food that they are selling

So thrilled to find a local gluten-free bakery in NJ. The staff were amazing and friendly. The baked items...... Well, let's just say my waist line isn't quite as small as when I entered. I will definitely be back every time I come back to visit family in NJ.

A friend who is gluten free sent me here to pick up some things for her while i was on a beach getaway and I wound up getting a few things to try for myself. It was absolutely delicious! I had to stop myself from stopping back because I would have bought every single lemon crinkle cookie she had and eaten them all in a day or two. The brownie was to die for too. You would never know it was gluten free if not told. I'll be sure to stop back the next time I'm at the beach!Vegetarian options: All the baked goods are vegan and delicious!

Needed a birthday cake for a friend and wanted something better than a grocery store sheet cake, so I stopped in at Papa Ganache in Manasquan on a whim. The young lady working the shop was very helpful and knowledgeable about the different cakes, sizes, options, etc. I placed my order three days in advance.The cake was delicious and a huge hit with everyone. It was not cheap but I wasn't looking for a bargain, I was looking for something a cut above. I was not disappointed and will not hesitate to return.

I got 6 of these cupcakes for my birthday and it was definitely the worst cupcake i had in my entire 26 years of living. Absolutely no taste and dry. The stop and shop cupcakes are 10x better. Incredibly overpriced for what it is and there are no price signage in the store.

Such an amazing vegan bakery! We travel a hour + just to come here and it’s soooo worth it! Stopped in for some yummy treats for Thanksgiving and was blown away by the choices. Their rainbow cookies are by far the BEST I’ve ever had and always make sure to grab a couple! Super moist, fresh & just so dang deliciously vegan!

I absolutely love everything about this bakery. The store itself is so pretty and that goes for each of their locations. I love the baked goods especially the cookies and the croissants are to die for. The pastries are outstanding ...but the savory food ...omg have they upped their game lately.

Superb, delicious baked goods at both the Matawan and Manasquan locations.
The baked goods at Papa Ganache are phenomenal! I am not vegan, but some of my family members are, so I get all our birthday cakes and other desserts from Papa Ganache. They are so delicious! And the staff could not be nicer or more helpful

I tried the chocolate peanut butter truffle, which was cold, rich, sweet, and delicious. I also got the maple praline cheesecake and chocolate chip cookie dough cheesecake. I thought they were both really tasty and I especially loved the dark chocolate on the cookie dough one. These desserts were also sweet and rich, and while the texture is different than a dairy cheesecake because it is made with vegan ingredients, I thought it was enjoyable. The person behind the counter was polite and helpful, and the inside is clean and cute. My husband can't eat whey products, so I'm grateful to have something somewhat local to me that is freshly and creatively prepared. I can't wait to go back and try more of their treats!

Picked up a gluten free dairy free cake yesterday. I didn't special order it it cost over $65 for a six inch cake that was inedible. It was so dry when we cut into in it just crumbled. Very disappointed for my daughters birthday.
