We’ve tried to get in here many times and somehow we’d always manage to miss them being open. Finally got inside and we were absolutely BLOWN AWAY!! Jenny, the owner, is so amazing!! She bakes all the goodies and you will not be disappointed. We had to try her delicious offering of the day: gluten free, vegan 72% cacao, pecan banana bread. That hooked us and got us in the door. We love banana bread in this family so we had to try it. Every child tried it and parents and all agreed it was delicious!!! We also picked up a prepackaged salad, a kombucha, chocolate chia protein pudding. Oh my! We are lifetime friends now!!! Even if you aren’t gluten free or vegan, stop by and try some of these handmade, freshly baked goodies.

This is hands down THE BEST vegan food! From the delicious meals to the amazing desserts, everything I have tried is fabulous! My favorites are the eggless salad & rocky road bars. Jennie, the owner, is so personable & creative!!! Go in and try out the incredible offerings!

I loved their black bean, quinoa and chorizo wrap. They have a wonderful atmosphere and I definitely plan to return for another meal.

Such delicious food! Whenever down the shore, always stop here. Delicious vegan and gluten free salads and baked goods. Had a burrito that wasn’t gluten free but was vegan and it hit the spot! Hope this always is here as it’s a great addition to Lavalette!

Jennie’s space is phenomenal with quality vegan bites! From wraps, to salads to sides and sweets. So many good vegan and gluten free friendly options! Perfect to grab and go for a beach day. She was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend her spot!
