We had an apple turnover, vanilla donut, and a chocolate filled pastry (vegan, but not the gluten free versions). Absolutely wonderful, all 3. Rich, great texture, perfect apple filling to pastry ratio.

A Hidden Gem with Heart Thank You, Eleanor! I called Bradley Bake Shop last minute in a bit of a panic, trying to find a vegan and gluten-free cake for my friend’s birthday she has strict dietary restrictions and I didn’t want her to miss out on her special day . From the very first moment, Eleanor was an absolute dream to work with. Not only was she polite, professional, and incredibly accommodating, but she made the entire process feel easy and joyful even managing to make it all happen the same day! Her warmth over the phone was instantly reassuring, and meeting her in person was even better. You can feel her love and passion the moment you walk into the shop. It’s clear she doesn’t just bake she pours her sweetness & heart into every detail. We chose the red velvet vegan/gluten-free cake and WOW it was incredible! Moist, flavorful, beautifully made, and most importantly, my friend was able to enjoy every bite without worry. It was healthy, delicious, and absolutely full of love. Thank you, Eleanor, for saving the day and making it so sweet—literally! I’ll definitely be back and recommending you to everyone I know. 💕🎂

Great place for plant-based, gluten and dairy free eats!!

Daniel Winters

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 have been coming to Plum bakery for many years now. Love the country bread, dulce de leche, quiche, corn bread, cinnamon bagel, all! It will be love at first sight when you enter the bakery, as the sweet smell will enchant you! Thank you for providing delicious and healthy 100% gluten free bakery! ps: as there is no gluten and no preservatives, make sure you store anything you buy on a sealed container or freeze them (I slice and freeze my country bread) and will last for some time! Enjoy it!

So happy to have found this amazing gluten free spot! 5 star service and food options! Definitely my new favorite weekly place! Can’t wait to go back!

I’m really disappointed in my experience with Broad Street Dough Co. I placed an order for a Gluten Allergy Mini 9 Box—clearly labeled for those with dietary needs. Instead, I was handed four full-sized donuts and told to “just cut them up.” That might sound simple to an adult, but it doesn’t go over well with children who were each expecting their own donut. Try explaining to nine excited kids that they’ll be splitting donuts with forks and napkins instead of enjoying the individual treat they were promised. I’ve reached out to the business multiple times via email, Facebook and their website. Days have passed with no response, no refund, and no apology. This isn’t just poor customer service—it’s a disregard for food allergies and for customers who trusted them to get it right. I hope they take this feedback seriously and start treating allergy orders—and communication—with the care they deserve.

Paul Strohecker

The service was great and the food was all really good. As a person who is not gluten free/ vegan, I honestly really enjoyed all of the food. They make a really good tofu scramble!

Jessica Maloney

Lots of gluten free and dairy free options! The GF pancakes with vegan butter were fantastic. I Highly recommend Bella Vida Cafe if your looking for delicious food, especially for those with food allergies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

collene albertson

just went there last weekend, it was amazing! They use A&A pretzels, and Fox and Sons mixes for funnel cake and corn dogs. We tried pretty much everything except pizza on the menu!

Bernadette Delaney

RUN here if you have celiac or other GF needs. They have fried donuts that don't taste like dry cake. SO GOOD. The marscapone donut was my favorite. The Nutella bites were good, but not as good as I hyped them up in my mind. If this place was around the corner from me I'd be here daily.

Lisa Gorman

They are so delicious. The gluten free cake pops are amazing! The owners and workers are very nice and helpful. .

Sapna

The lavender matcha cookie is delicious, must try! Coffee is great as well. Staff was very friendly. Lots of gluten and nut free options.

Pablo Drucker

Everything is excellent! Gluten-free options!

Lauren Cala

Best gluten-free chicken, Caesar wraps!

Natali Heiss

I love this spot; I’m gluten free and always suspicious of restaurants that say they have good gluten free options. But their French toast was incredible! Coffee was hot and fresh, it was very loud so if you’re noise sensitive I would recommend going at a lighter trafficked time of day or sit outside. The waiter and hostess were fabulous and helpful.

Andrea Marie

Visiting the area from Pennsylvania and LOVED eating here! Gluten Free menu options! TONS of choices! Decent pricing, extremely fast service, attentive service, friendly & comfortable atmosphere!

Karla Yatckoske

I ordered from Busy Bee on UberEats and was very pleased with my order! The breakfast burrito was so tasty and filling; that plus a slice of banana bread made two meals for me! I really appreciated that the sauce is dairy free! The gluten free tortilla was tasty and did not fall apart. The granola and banana bread were both very tasty as well! I'm gluten free, dairy free, and pescatarian, and I'm so happy to have found this restaurant that has tasty and nourishing options!

Michael

Had a burrito on a gluten-free wrap. Latte was great as well as the vegan/dairy-free/gluten-free banana bread. As a pilot sometimes I don’t have enough time to dine in restaurants. They were on UberEats and would recommend to anyone local! Also Joanne called me during my order prep for a question about my Latte. Their attention to detail was not expected but very welcomed!

Liz Rexach

Vegan Pastry Lab is one of our favorite places to go to. Everyone at home is obsessed with it. We end up spending so much money every time we visit because we just want everything they have to offer. My husband and I are gluten-free, and the gluten-free vegan treats never disappoint. We love their "cheesecake," their PB & J Bars, their Brownies, their cupcakes, their cookies, they SCONES (I just discovered these), literally everything. My girls are obsessed with the cinnamon rolls, the croissants, we literally cannot get enough of this place. The people that own the place and work there are all super sweet. I've also had breakfast sandwiches there (vegan and gluten-free) and they have coffee drinks too. If you haven't checked it out, you need to.

Bryce Reynolds

Always great service and the coffee is delightful. I’ll add that the gluten free baked goods are amazing. I’m not a gluten free person and generally hate gluten free baked goods, but these are outright delicious. I’d never have guessed they were gluten free and still don’t understand what magic they use.

Paul F

Disappointed they changed their menu. They used to have some good classics there, especially the breakfast sandwiches that could also be made gluten free. I barely recognize the menu now, time to move on I guess.

Katherine Chin

Don't bother with any other fast casual restaurant at Princeton. No one matches Jammin' Crepes for speed, friendliness, or quality of flavor and ingredients. They truly look for local businesses to build upon their already impressive menu. They'll make delicious gluten free and vegan crepes as well (and their gluten free crepes are actually mysteriously chewy and delightful). My favorite is a twist on one actually found on the kid's menu: the grilled cheese melty with added pesto. Just do it and thank me later.

Lena Nicholson

Great spot and lots of gluten free options for those with Celiac.

Amy Bolliger

We had a spectacular breakfast! Friendly service and plenty of parking. Extensive gluten free menu. Super kid friendly and also have fun merchandise for sale.

Tehillah

Za’atar Tuna on an everything bagel.. the best gluten free bagel I’ve ever had!

Diana Lynn C

Amazing place to have vegan and gluten free and organic! What a triple combo rare gem. I am so happy this place exists. So wholesome and tastes delicious. I’ve tried most of their desserts and pitaya bowls and sandwiches. All so tasty

Anna Kousoulis

The ambiance is a vibe inside and their lattes are good. I have a gluten intolerance and we told the server that ahead of time and she said that she also couldn't eat gluten too so she would make sure everything's ok for us. When the food runner dropped off the plates, he couldn't tell us which plate was gluten free. So we waited for the server to come back. She never did. My husband finally got up and walked up to the counter where she was and asked if she could tell us which the gluten free dish was...she was apologetic to him and came over and pointed it out. It was a little frustrating though that my whole table waited to start eating until this was sorted. Fast forward towards the end... There was still 20-30 minutes left on our time and she came over to us and said we would have to leave due to the time limit... We were just finishing up our lattes. We did not like that at all since we had to wait in the first place due to the confusion with the plates at the beginning when we had to ask which was gluten free. We were also on the wait-list for one hour before being seated too by the way. We didn't intend on staying past the time limit anyway, but also - we still had time left. We had already paid the bill at that point - so we had already tipped (and we tipped well too regardless of the mishap). The tables to the left and right of us were not told they needed to leave, and they were seated before us. It's not a place I'd recommend for brunch.

I ordered from the app and got a decaf lavender latte and a cookie. I loved that there was a decaf option as well as the infusions being clearly labeled what was vegan and/or gluten free. I loved that they had some vegan food options as well. The latte was delicious and I would come back again for that if I'm in the area. What was not so great is that, even though I was ordering at 11am, before I would even expect a lunch rush, so many things were sold out. I was hoping to try the vegan BLT and a doughnut but those things were not available. Even the cookie I ordered was not available by the time I got there and I had to settle for another flavor. I would consider meeting a friend here for a morning coffee but not for lunch considering how fast everything sells out.

Allison Kaplan (Celiac)

So delicious and had no reaction! All of their arepas are gluten free, I had a breakfast arepa with cheese and bacon! Probably better for takeout as the place is fairly small, but there are 3 or 4 two person tables that you can sit at.

Eric An

AMAZING FOOD, Perfect for vegan/vegetarian diets! Great service, and a ton of tasty and CREATIVE options for every kind of person. Delicious and HUGE variety. Always recommend. MUST TRY their gluten free bread. It's so HUGE and fluffy and delicious. Best gluten free bread I've ever tried i was literally amazed! Haha

Stac E

Service was okay. Vanilla cupcake was stale. Chocolate peanut butter cupcake was good. Strawberry macaron was good but very sweet. Everything I ordered was gluten free.

Ajay Rai

Lovely place and shout out to Rachel. We came in 10 minutes before closing and she was incredibly hospitable and took care of us especially with my gluten allergy. Love this place every time we come up to snowboard. Also the gluten free pastry was awesome!

Al

Have a gluten allergy; they have dedicated cooking areas. I had the fries and cheeseburger and had no issues! Call if you have any questions, they will answer them!

Ross Bear

Thank you for making my little sister’s day! The gluten free cookies were the best she’s ever had. Watching her smile as she ate them made our day!

Megan Mc Callum

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

Jennifer B

Would have liked to endulge in there pancakes but although they offer gluten free pancakes they don't have a vegan option. Everyone else in our party loved the food and from what I saw the pancakes did look fresh and very tasty. Everyone was happy with the food here. Cute spot to visit in ocean city .

Kristian Ording

Was reasonably happy with Stuey’s though the pricing is crazy but par for the course here on the boardwalk. Aside from the obvious fact that this could be the only place on the entire boardwalk that serves any sort of vegetable that isn’t battered and fried, they truly do have some tasty and healthy eats here. Surprisingly large mix of organic, dairy-free and gluten-free selections. They definitely have an understanding and focus on catering to the allergen-sensitive consumer. Acai bowls are artfully arranged, reasonably sized, and not terribly priced given the fact that an egg sandwich costs nearly $10 at most spots around here. Come to think of it, they have those here too and they’re only $8.99 - unless you want that on a croissant in which case you have to add $1. How is that even possible? Smoothies are tasty but feel even rather expensive given they don’t contain any protein powder or ingredients other than fruit, almond milk and ice. Iced coffee was tasty and priced similarly to other spots in the area. They list a Latte on the menu, but I didn't see an espresso machine so not sure how that works. Hershey's next door does have Lavazza espresso, but they don't open till 10 so you can start with a coffee here while waiting for them to open up... Overall, would recommend for a health(ier) breakfast given the other options in the area, but you're certainly paying more given the location.

Isabella Dominello

Great coffee and gluten-free breakfast options! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about GF needs—definitely a must-stop in Cape May!

Ari Hasbrouck

My husband and I found this cafe recently and absolutely in love with it! We love the atmosphere and ambience; it is friendly and chill. The savory breakfast food is delicious and as are their many desserts and drinks! There are vegetarian and gluten free options which are appreciated. All of the staff I have met are accommodating and warm.

Nicolette Palazzo

Absolutely amazing donuts!!!! I have Celiac so gluten free along with cross contamination is huge for me. They prepare the gluten free donuts separate from the other donuts. And so many donuts can be made gluten free! I got the gluten free churro, french toast, and triple chocolate and my friend got the black and white cookie donut!!! Sooooo good, friendly staff, adorable shop!!! Will definitely be back!

Holly Schureman

Been there twice, Angus short rib crepe is amazing. They have gluten free options and are careful about it. Take your food to go though, while it's impeccably clean, it's very sterile, dark, drab and quiet atmosphere inside.

Eleanor Clements

Yes!!! An amazing selection of fun coffee drinks detailed breakfast menu not your boring diner!! Great prices you enter to friendly staff and leave the same way will 100% be back side note they offer Gluten free bread!

Samantha Vella

Sweet T’s bake shop is phenomenal and our favorite go to bakery! Just recently, they made my Mom a gluten free strawberry shortcake for her birthday and she can’t stop raving about how good it was. They also did our wedding cake this September. It was the most beautiful cake ever and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Chrissy and her team are without a doubt the best and so accommodating! If you are looking for a good bake shop, you must try Sweet T’s.

Lior Seidel

Great GF pancakes; the staff is knowledgeable about cross-contamination.

victoria Sloan

My fiancé and I live 20 minutes away on route 9 part of Howell. Whenever we’re in the Ramtown section, we always make it a point to come to the Cafe! As a celiac I appreciate having somewhere pretty local that have sweets and food options that are gluten free. They have amazing gluten free chicken tenders as well as chocolate brownies, macaroons and other tasty treats! Definitely a must try!

erin hamer

Delicious breakfast menu, including gluten free options! The portions are generous and the food is so delicious. The service and the vibes are also great. We will be stopping here any time we are in the area!

Mark Savage

Had a wonderful fresh breakfast. The bowl could have used more quinoa and a lot less spinach. A bag of spinach is overwhelming. The gluten. Free blueberry muffin was delightful. The breakfast potatoes were nicely seasoned.

Brennian Antell

Drove by and popped in to check out the place, great cup of coffee and they had a gluten free coffee cake for my daughter, definitely heading back soon to try the egg sandwiches!
