This gluten-free bakery is absolutely incredible! Stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon not long before closing. Egg and cheese on English muffin was outstanding and the coffee can't be beat. The crumb cake and cinnamon donuts were delectable. Both items had a light almost fluffy consistency and the taste was absolutely scrumptious. After carbing up for brunch, I left with a bag full of tasty gluten-free baked treats and salad for later. Owners are super cool and it's a nice mellow atmosphere. First visit but certainly won't be the last 😃

I'm super happy I found this place!! I got 2 things, a crumb cake and a pear bar. Both were amazingly delicious!! 5 stars all the way!! The woman behind the counter was very sweet and friendly, as well as patient with me and my indecisiveness. It's very cute inside and welcoming. Update: came for a lil anniversary breakfast and it was so good. It's now become a frequent stop for us.

Fully gluten free establishment!! I have been wanting to come check out this place for a while, just it is so far from me normally but we were at a the short hills mall and I saw it was close by so we stopped here for a little snack after the mall. I got some baked goods (breakfast hand pie, a strawberry chocolate muffin, and a scone) and also got a large smoothie bowl, which was definitely one of the best smoothie bowls I’ve had in New Jersey!! Can’t wait to be back in the area again to come back and try more food and bowls from them!! Highly recommend!

I was very pleasantly surprised to find this completely gluten free bakery only a few minutes down the road. The pastry case is full of delicious gluten free, and some vegan, treats. I had a hard time deciding between a savory pastry or a sweet one, so I went with one of each! Surprisingly enough, the savory one was much better in my opinion. I had the spinach and feta hand pie, and my oh my, it was delicious!! The filling was seasoned well and very good but the winner was by far the pastry itself. The dough was flaky & buttery and not like any kind of gluten free pastry I've ever had before. They also have a full juice selection and smoothie bar, tea & coffee and a selection of take & bake items as well. The atmosphere was cute & quiet with a few tables and chairs out to sit and enjoy.

Unfortunately probably the worst cafe I've been to. Walking inside, the first thing thats noticeable is the VERY STRONG cigarette smell. The tea I bought was undrinkable and the lid did not fit on the cup so when walking, the lid came off and the tea spilled over my fingers causing second degree burns.
