Review of Papa Ganache

Papa Ganache is my go to bakery for gluten free baked goods. I placed a custom order for donuts for a friend for his birthday and they were all delicious but we enjoyed the apple cider donuts as the other flavors like pumpkin donuts were cake like in texture and the chocolate donuts were dense and fudgy like a brownie. The apple cider and the jelly donut holes closely resembled a traditional donut. They were all fresh and super tasty and that homemade jelly was divine. Since that time I have tried many cupcake flavors and I can say that the creme brûlée and strawberry jam filled cupcake are so good. My all time favorite though is the Italian rainbow cookies. They taste so good and so close to the traditional recipe that you would never know that it’s gluten free. I love that they have a separate dedicated facility where they bake all their gluten free goodies and when you walk in all gluten free baked goods are one side clearly labeled and they change gloves and use sheets of parchment to grab onto the item. I feel safe which is most important! My only issue and it’s not a deal breaker is that at the cranford location we have purchased baked goods that tasted frozen and were hard.
