Allergy-Friendly Bakeries at the Jersey Shore

A Shore icon and former Food Network Cupcake Wars champion celebrating 16 years in 2026, Papa Ganache is a 100% vegan bakery that also produces gluten-free treats in a dedicated, separate kitchen — so there’s no cross-contamination worry for its gluten-free goods. Everything is plant-based, cholesterol-free, and free of trans fats, dairy, and eggs.

Expect cupcakes, croissants, cheesecakes, cake pops, pies, and even savory options like vegan lasagna and penne vodka. Custom orders can accommodate just about any dietary need, and the gluten-free bagels and Italian rainbow cookies are fan favorites.

Kizbee’s raises the bar for what gluten-free, vegan, and soy-free baking can be. This dedicated gluten-free bakery offers cookies, cupcakes, muffins, cakes, pies, quiches, and rotating seasonal treats like cinnamon rolls, pop tarts, cheesecake bars, and donuts. Their motto says it all: take a bite and don’t tell anyone it’s gluten-free — they won’t be able to tell. The Ocean City spot is just a few blocks from the beach and downtown.

One of the most comprehensive allergen-free bakeries you’ll find anywhere. Everything is made without milk, gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, soy, fish, eggs, shellfish, or sesame — free of all nine major allergens — and the shop is also vegan and kosher with no artificial colors or flavors. From cupcakes and cookies to signature allergen-free candies (think Twix- and M&M-style treats called “No No’s”) and soft-serve ice cream, No Whey makes the impossible possible. Open weekdays with shipping nationwide.

Run by a second-generation French-trained pastry chef who built the bakery around his own family’s severe allergies, Two Fields is a dedicated safe kitchen — gluten-, peanut-, tree-nut-, and sesame-free, with dairy-free and egg-free options too. It’s even school-safe, making it a go-to for birthdays. Fan favorites include butter cookies, Linzer cookies, lemon bars, crumb cake, tiramisu, cannolis, and NY-style cheesecake, plus a big lineup of custom allergen-friendly cakes. As they put it: “Peace of mind is always baked here.”

Billed as New Jersey’s original 100% vegan and gluten-free ice cream shop, Fable doesn’t cut corners. Everything — from coconut-based ice creams and ice cream cakes to cookies and chocolate confections — is made without soy, artificial colors or flavors, gums, preservatives, or vegetable oils. Flavors rotate seasonally (s’mores and key lime pie are standouts), and you can grab pints and custom cakes too. A sweet stop that feels indulgent and intentional.

This LBI favorite lives up to its name with creative homemade ice cream flavors like inside-out s’mores and cinnamon-sugar pop tart. The whole kitchen is peanut- and tree-nut-free, and they accommodate gluten, dairy, and shellfish allergies through documented protocols — including a dedicated fryer, gluten-free cones and buns, and a separate allergen prep area. Tell them about any allergy at the order window and they’ll guide you to what’s safe. There’s a full kitchen menu and vegan soft serve all summer, too.

A donut lover’s dream with options for a wide range of dietary needs — kosher, nut-free, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free, all clearly labeled. Their fan-favorite “Vlugen” donuts are both vegan and gluten-free, made and topped in a separate area with their own packaging. With 40+ everyday flavors and weekend specials, there’s plenty to choose from. Note: it’s a shared kitchen, so let staff know if your gluten-free order is for an allergy and they’ll prepare it separately.

Handcrafted donuts with gluten-free and vegan options alongside the classic lineup, including local favorites like the Boss-ton Creme and Blueberry Danish. Owner Joe is well known in the community for taking gluten-free seriously, with a separate baking area for GF donuts. The Belmar location puts you within easy reach of the sand — grab a donut and coffee on your way in.

This family-run parlor offers a full menu of vegan, dairy-free frozen desserts — made with bases like coconut cream and nut butters and sweetened with agave or brown rice syrup — alongside traditional ice cream and refreshing sorbets. Flavors get creative (think honey lavender, cookie butter, and seasonal specials), and vegan cakes and pies can be ordered ahead. A perfect after-beach treat in downtown Asbury.

A beloved local spot for organic coffee, homemade pastries, and breakfast/lunch sandwiches, regularly named among Wildwood’s top gluten-free picks. While not a fully dedicated gluten-free kitchen, the café serves gluten-free coffee cake, buns, and other baked goods alongside its regular menu — a great choice for a casual morning treat near the beach. Mornings only, so plan an early stop.
