The owner Grace is a delight. The vegan quiche was incredible and I can't wait to taste the treats I got! Amazing place. Everything is gluten free and some things are vegan. I can't wait to check out her Airbnb! Sanctuary by the

It's hard to believe it's been over a year since I've been here ( time sure flies).It was purely by chance, so I stopped in to see what they had. I ordered a Chai latte ( large ? ), a gluten-free muffin ( very good ? ), and I believe I had a piece of quiche ( very good ?). They do have a lot of gluten-free items on their menu. It's been too long since my last visit, and it's too bad it's closed today.No worries, it's all good ????

Consistently excellent food, the people who work there are wonderful and the wait times are very reasonable for food of this quality! Have ordered their cheese steak multiple times as well as their pizza and it's always great!

The food was delicious. The service was wonderful! 100% gluten free always gets bonus points from me. Everything was great!

Nice little cafe with great food. I had the lasagna and couldn’t believe it was gluten free. Delicious! Also met the owner Grace who was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be going

Upon walking in the place seemed to have potential, but the display cases were dirty and very unorganized. The place itself was cluttered and dirty. It was completely empty. Maybe play some music? It’s so awkward and quiet.We felt bad walking out so we ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese and an everything bagel with egg & cheese. They make all the food in a back room and 10 minutes later bring them out and charge us $16 for 2 bagels. Ridiculous.As we’re driving away we notice the owner herself messed up our order and gave us 2 bagels with cream cheese. Nobody there. 2 bagels. and it was messed up. I went back and she took the other bagel (she wouldn’t let me keep it) and took 10 more minutes to make me another bagel. Both bagels were stale and sooo small (especially for $16!) Worst bagel I ever had, terrible service, and for a ridiculous price. The owner also said she charged us for 2 bagels with cc which means a sandwich would’ve been more expensive. These 1 star reviews on here are very accurate, looking forward to my response of her telling me I’m wrong.

BEST GLUTEN FREE BREAD I'VE EVER HAD!!! SO FREAKING GOOD ?? it was crunchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside just like really good quality regular bread. Honestly it was better than regular bread. It was DELICIOUS!! ? You can also buy par-baked loaves, baguettes and bagels to bake/warm up at home, too, and they are delicious as well!! I don't understand how she nails the texture and taste so perfectly!!!

Earlier in the summer, I had a gluten free Italian sub, a brownie, and coffee cake. Everything was so good! I saw another reviewer call the sub "elevated" and that describes it perfectly. I was visiting the area to have a day at Sandy Hook and it was the perfect lunch and snacks throughout the day. The owner was patient with my questions and was kind enough to give me a heads up about possible bad weather at the beach. I live further north and wasn't able to make it back like I had hoped, but I think a lot about how great my meal there was!

Cafe LaDeDa is the perfect intersection of my favorite things: being down the shore, eating delicious gluten-free food, and supporting women-owned businesses. They make some of the most delicious gluten-free everything bagels! They stock organic and gluten-free snacks and dry goods in the store as well.

This was my first time coming in person! (I’ve had the pleasure of trying your delicious gluten free items from my family and fiancé picking up from you before!) and it’s such a cute store! My family and I love CafeLaDeDa as they allow people like us to have food that is safe without hurting our tummy’s like the rest of the world has to offer. It’s so exciting to see places like here becoming store fronts so that people with gluten, and other allergens can have access not only safe food, but also delicious!I got the Italian sub today and it was so delicious. It was elevated and fresh. A lot of reviews are complaining about the price, but I would rather pay for a good gluten free sandwich where the bread is soft and the sandwich is super fresh, and to support a local business than to pay Jersey mikes $2 less for well Jersey Mikes.Overall great experience and highly recommend! I can’t wait until I’m nearby again to stop in to try another one of their delicious sandwiches!We also got some desserts to try! Which looked delicious but haven’t tried them yet!Thank you for being here!

My daughter and I stopped in there today and it was a small, cute and chill place! It was clean and organized. We sat at the table outside and enjoyed the view of the park! The owner, Grace, was very nice and helpful explaining the various products. The lemon cupcake had great flavor and the brownie was great too. But next time I’ll ask for heated up for extra yum! We plan on going back with the whole family soon!

I’m not gluten intolerant but I am vegan - I got a vegan eggplant parmesan sandwich and it was delicious! Big portion and I couldn’t tell that the ciabatta bread was gluten-free. Very friendly atmosphere. Wish the seating were a bit cozier but imagine most people are ordering to-go anyway.

If you’re looking for celiac safe that can trick the gluten fiends in your life this is a one stop shop! The Italian bread was to die-for and literally brought me to tears. I haven’t had a true crispy-crusted, tender centered, Italian sub since my diagnosis 4 years ago. The coffee cake was moist, with the perfect rich, hearty crumble…two things I’ve found impossible to come by in the gluten-free world. I can’t wait to go back for the cinnamon buns (sold out for the day). So worth the hour drive!!Dietary restrictions: Celiac safe.
