Such a cute place! We are always on the look out for places that serve gluten free baked goods. The staff were super friendly and it was very reasonably priced! We got 5 things to try and they all were AMAZING!! The chocolate chip cookie was to die for!! If I lived near the area I would be a regular!

This cake literally saved my birthday. I have loved cake since I was young but got recently diagnosed with celiac. For my 25th birthday I really wanted something special. She was able to put wording on my cake and it tasted so gooood holy moly! This is one if not the best cake I’ve ever had in my life. I will absolutely be back. 10000/10

Unfortunately I really disliked everything I tried. I got an açaí bowl with protein powder which tasted medicinal. I also got a vegan donut and vegan cupcake which both had a weird taste/texture. I also got a vegan chocolate chip cookie which tasted okay but was extremely hard and dry. I drove specifically to try this place as I am celiac and dairy free (for years) but unfortunately left disappointed.

Loveee it here. Expensive but worth it! All gluten free vegan.

Small, counter service bakery, with a few seats at the bar and a couple tables outside. Everything we got was really good. I'm not gluten free but my partner is, and we both really enjoyed what we got. We got two bagels, one sesame with butter(her) and an everything with cream cheese(me) here in lies our only beef. My partner is also dairy free so the butter was the only option and even that was a stretch and a chance. And they were pretty light with my cream cheese, not trying to be greedy but I expect an ample schmere. So the bagels were amazing but in the future we'd get them to go. We also bought an array of donuts and cookies to take for later and ALL of those were excellent. Not pictured are the filled donuts, and a slice of coffee cake. Honestly the best thing in my opinion was that thumbprint cookie, kinda stole the show for me. I would go back back get 50 of those things. It's really nice to have a bakery option be gluten free. And if you are, this place is totally up there. 9 out of 5 stars

Lovely atmosphere and knowledgeable staff, everything was delicious. Enjoyed being in an establishment that catered to dairy and gluten free diets without compromise of quality and taste. Eleven out of ten stars.

Karen Van Wallendael

The gluten free donuts were amazing! My daughter has celiac disease and the staff took such care with my order! I was so glad to be able to bring these donuts home knowing the whole family would enjoy them and be safe! I ordered both regular and gluten free donuts- everything was delicious!!

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!

Thomas Kunkel

Excellent breakfast. 1 daughter gluten-free another a vegan choices for both! Yum

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.

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!

Jayne

Cute Bakery with Gluten-free and Vegan desserts. The cookie sandwiches and donuts are to die for! I haven't had ones this good since going GF two years ago. 10/10 for this adorable bakery!!!

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!

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.

Amanda Olsen

Bashful Banana is the go-to spot in OC for a healthier sweet treat! Their banana whips are the best, and you can customize them with other fruits or even non-dairy chocolate chips—perfect for those with dietary restrictions. They have so many gluten-free options too, which is fantastic. It’s an OC staple for anyone looking for a lighter alternative when you’re not in the mood for ice cream. Highly recommend for a refreshing and delicious treat!

Kelsey Baxter

Ari was the best waitress we ever had. The sweetest lady!!! Idk how she has so much energy to treat our table and all the tables around us with so much kindness and attention. The gluten free options are sooo yummy. 10/10!!

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!

Cary DeLuca

Michelle and her team did a phenomenal job catering my Baby Shower this weekend! She worked with me to develop a menu in advance, and prepared light, delicious offerings for my guests. She easily accommodated various dietary restrictions (gluten free, vegetarian options, peanut free, etc.). The real show stopper was the cake. WOW! Not only was it flavorful, but the decorations fit perfectly with the theme of the shower (woodland). I would absolutely recommend Michelle for any catering gig, especially those that need to be gluten free. Thank you Busy Bee!

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.

ana

been here 2 years in a row for vacation and both times the food has been amazing and the staff friendly!! highly recommend the icecream and waffles as well as their lemon blueberry pancake special!!🥞🥞 they also have a gluten free menu

christina tesoriero

Gluten Free French toast was yummy!! Server Sofia- lovely and knowledgeable!! Lovely ambiance!!

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

Corinne

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

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!

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

Maria Matthews

I used to spend $5.55 a day at Starbucks and now I buy my morning coffee here, where I am greeted with a smile and top notch service, the staff go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant visit. They bake the most fabulous cakes and have Gluten Free Options too. Try Lilla Vanilla you will not be disappointed!

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 .

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!

Chloe Adel

Fantastic gluten free cheese steak

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!

Kevin Vaarsi

Delicious vegan and gluten-free baked treats!

Constanza CM

this is literally one of the best first date spots. I have taken many of my first dates here because of the ambiance, the versatility of the food (vegan, gluten free, sugar free options), and the service. even the workers always seem very pleased with their job. it's a bring your own alcohol spot, so this is a WONDERFUL spot for brunch with your girls, especially the outdoor seating when its sunny. It is service dog (only) friendly indoors and general dog friendly outdoors.

Mary Ellen Levine

Super cute. Food was excellent, fresh and they even offered the gluten free roll for our burger. Closing @ 3pm for the off season, look for extended hours in the summer! Highly recommend. And Mia was attentive & lovely as our server.

Claire

Awesome café! The workers are so sweet. As for their breakfast sandwich with a gluten free bun? Incredible. The gluten free bun was so flaky, almost like the consistency of a biscuit. Everything tasted fresh and not overly salty/unhealthy. The iced coffee was the best I’ve had down in wildwood! Very smooth, not at all sour (unfortunately, I’ve only had sour and gross coffee down in wildwood for the past two years 😭. It’s been brutal). Highly recommend this adorable spot! 🥰

Andrew Kaffes

Excellent, fast service. Pleasantly surprised with the large gluten free french toast portion. Blueberry pancakes were really good. Nice atmosphere as I think it was redone since we were there last prior to the pandemic. Recommend.
