Great time with a group of 6 for brunch. Sat down immediately. Food was great and my favorite which I cannot find anywhere is gluten free pancakes and waffles.
Great donuts. Plentiful of vegan and gluten free options. By far some of the best donuts I’ve had in years. The mango tango and the Chai me a river are incredible! Lovely owner and staff at this location. 10/10 would recommend
We were wandering around Asbury Park in December on a very cold windy afternoon , and we were just looking for a place to duck inside and have a nice hot cup of cappuccino and maybe something sweet.
We stumbled upon Dolce Fantasia, it's not on the main drag so we almost missed it.
The inside is decorated very kitschy eclectic with a sense of welcome. Bright yellow and black with great personality just starts you off in a happy mood.
And then it gets even better!
I have recently been told that I need to stay away from gluten, that eating it inflames my joints and inflicts pain. Do you know how hard that is to do when you have a massive sweet tooth?
The dessert menu had so many amazing choices that I could eat, I was so excited.
And then I met the pistachio crème brûlée. Seriously, this had to have been heaven sent. I have never had such a delicious, decadent dessert. If it wasn't so rude, I would've licked out the bowl.
We were telling friends of ours about this great little place we found and decided to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday dinner there on a Saturday night in the middle of January.
If I was impressed by the pistachio crème brûlée, everything we ordered was equally delicious and beautifully presented. They definitely do not skimp on quality and you leave there quite satisfied.
I'd say the worst part of the evening was trying to narrow down the choices, we sat there watching as the waiters delivered plates to other tables for inspiration, everything smelled and looked amazing and the people around us were really enjoying each dish. We actually struck up conversations with total strangers to find out if they recommended what they were eating.
Sadly, I had to narrow it down to just one appetizer, one main dish, and my beloved crème brûlée.
The crabcake appetizer was scrumptious with surprising flavors on the side. My lamb shank was fall off the bone tender and the accompanying risotto was really tastefully done.
The three other people I was with all ordered different dishes so we can taste test everything, and even the pickiest among us, Meat and Potatoes Bob, cleaned his entire plate.
Unfortunately, the rest of our birthdays are in August so we are brainstorming to find an excuse to come back before. I think if we went there more often, I would be extremely spoiled and not want to eat anywhere else.
So we're going to keep Dolce Fantasia as our special celebratory home and visit Chef John and his remarkably professional staff at the next possible excuse.... we missed everybody's half birthday so we'll have to wait for someone to share good news
I know I'm going to be very sorry for writing this review, it's going to make it harder to get a reservation, but Chef John deserves every delicious word.
Kimmee and her team are rockstars and the desserts they create are incredibly delicious! And provide macaroons for those of us with celiac or gluten sensitivity to enjoy! They also have a vegan cupcake!
I asked if they could sub gluten-free granola in one of the bowls. They said yes, so I ordered that. I didn’t realize till I was almost done that they had given me the gluten one. I have a severe gluten allergy and I haven’t straight up eaten gluten before in YEARS. They need to be sooo much more careful when fulfilling orders. It was also clear that the workers making the food were unfriendly, but honestly that’s not a big problem for me.
I really enjoyed my meal from here. It was healthy and tasty. I love that their baked goods are gluten free! I also love how they have unsweetened hibiscus tea. This is a great addition to asbury park!
👀👀Looking for the perfect spot in Asbury Park to enjoy great food and vibes? Look no further than 📍Pascal & Sabine! This cozy gem offers a fantastic dining experience for all occasions.
As a gluten-free diner, I’m always on the lookout for places that cater to my needs without sacrificing taste. Pascal & Sabine’s escargot is simply to die for, and the occasional gluten-free bread is a delightful bonus. 🥹
I make the drive from NYC just to indulge in their delicious offerings. Thanks, Pascal & Sabine, for always keeping things exciting. Can’t wait to try their new experiences in 2024! Oui, oui! 😎
Cardinal's catering is absolutely the GOLD STANDARD. In addition to being freakin' delicious, they had lots of options for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free, which was key for our wedding. We got so many compliments on the cocktail hour - I've never heard so much appreciation for cheese and appetizers! The dinner was fantastic too - everyone loved the short rib, harissa salmon, and cauliflower steaks. Even meat-eaters wanted those cauliflower steaks! And of course they knocked it out of the park with dessert, a lovely lemon cake with a hint of blackberry and their delicious iced cream sandwiches. If you want your event to have memorable, delicious food, served by an incredible team who was all over every detail, go with Cardinal! I could go on and on, but their team ran so smoothly and again THE FOOD WAS EPIC.
Delicious bowls! I particularly love their açaí, green, and coconut bases. I also really appreciate the variety of their offerings and that they have gluten-free granola.
