This review is about the bagels only. They are good. Not great. They are still gf bread-like. I am spoiled though because I am used to the gf bagels from Modern Bagel in nyc. I hope the place tweaks their re ups to make it more like real bagels.

Was there late in the day just before closing and found only a limited selection. The bagel was quite good. The cookie was a little too sweet for my liking and the cupcake was a bit dry. However, it was great being in an all-GF environment and I want to try again earlier in the day when there will likely be a bigger selection and fresher goods.

They are strictly a gluten-free bakery, so everything is safe! There is a large variety of items, although the quality varies. I love the black and white cookies, the bagel are decent. I find that some of the pastry items like the donuts are a little bready. The baguettes are pretty good too.

edited to add: i finally tried the eclairs which is what they’re best known for and i can now agree they are very good!

Food is GF! No cross contact :). That being said, I would recommend the bagels but not the cinnamon rolls or donuts- they were very dry

Bakery is good, items go fast so visit in the mornings. Hours are also a bit weird so check when they are open. I find that the bakery items do not really stay fresh. I have kept them out in sealed containers, refrigerated them, reheated and they just get hard and not good. Definitely good for cakes and cupcakes for occasions, but I stopped going for cookies, and bread items

I was passing though the area and decided to stop by. This bakery is 100% gluten free, and while small in size, is packed with so many options! Lots of cookies, cinnamon rolls, eclairs, etc. I had my first gluten free eclair- last time I had one was maybe 10-15 years ago?! It was delicious! We also ordered a sprinkle cookie and rugelach- also very tasty! If you’re in the area, definitely make this a stop. There are a few seats inside and outside.

Found this place using this wonderful app. My husband and I went there today; and to my surprise the place smelled liked a “normal” bakery and the selection was amazing. I spent way too much but I don’t live that close and I was just so excited, I had to try a little of everything; or at least a little of most things.

I left with a bagel; yes a bagel, toasted with cream cheese on it. It smelled exactly like a “normal” bagel and tasted so good; as close as a “gluten bagel” as you can get.

This place is hands down an incredible “Find”.

Thank you to the owner of Plum Bakery and to the inventor of this app; so appreciative for this.

Great gluten free options! I like the chocolate chip cookies, donuts, and baguettes. Definitely keep in a Tupperware though, because stuff dries out fast. Parking is a real pain.

I’ve been hesitant to try this bakery because of the mixed reviews. I asked the girl what is Fresh she said everything is baked daily. I kind of doubt everything had been made over the last 24 hours. I bought a cream puff it was big and only $5 it was pretty good definitely not old or hard. The cream filling was really good. There weren’t many choices.

This is the worst GF bakery (food in general) experience I’ve ever had. I live in town and have tried SO many times hoping it’s better—but I agree with other commenters, the food is always hard, not “good for gluten free”. Just plain not good, and the staff is atrocious. I felt like every time I went in I was a problem to them. I’m a small business too and I never want to leave a comment like this, in fact I rarely review, but this place is just not it, and not worth the money. If you’re looking for another GF option, Local coffee shop (in Watchung plaza) always has GF baked goods (muffins, crumb cake, and other rotating things).

One of the better gf places you’ll find. And maybe one of the best NJ has to offer. Sorry, no pics this time. The food disappeared pretty quickly. The quiche was yummy. Nice texture. The eclair is light and fluffy. The popover was a nice light and fluffy texture, but needed salt. Overall…we’ll be regulars here.

My daughter loved the sugar cookie, Twinkie, and black and white cookie. I’m surprised the reviews here aren’t good because she said everything was delicious, and it all looked very fresh! Also the girl who worked there was super nice.

Tried the eclair, crumb bun, glazed donut, rugelach, pear ginger cinnamon roll, and cream puff. All were very delicious!! The eclair was to die for!! Even my non GF boyfriend loved it! The bakery does suggest to place food into air-tight plastic wrap or baggies if saving for a few days. It’s pretty typical that gluten free pastries do not stay moist well. We will definitely return again!

The baked goods are decent. Had the apple turnover and donuts. This morning we went right at opening. The person behind the counter was very visibly hating her job and was very unfriendly. We ordered two coffees that were completely cold and bitter. We hadn’t tasted them until we drove away and realized it was likely coffee from the previous day. Likely wouldn’t return.

It this was the only safe-for-Celiac bakery around, I’d probably rate this place higher. Unfortunately, as others have pointed out on here, many items are as hard as a rock, or get that way within a day or two of purchasing. It really is not worth the risk of breaking a tooth.

Cinnamon roll very good. Cupcakes okay but icing was not sweet at all. Donut and bagel hard as rocks and had to discard.

100% gluten free facility, which is fabulous, but the baked goods are inedible. I’ve tried it 3 times now and everytime shit is so hard or dense or just awful tasting. Had a latte too and it was, by far, the worst one I’ve ever had. It makes me sad to say it, but I won’t be back 😢

Everything I have tried from here so far: bagels, donuts (needed a zap in the microwave the next day to return it to its former glory), an absolutely heavenly eclair - has been fantastic!

Very great dedicated facility! I think the negative reviews may be from those who show up later in the day. Sometimes they sell out and wind up closing early, so if you go closer to closing time you may have few to choose from. Other than that, their selection is very big and I see things here I can never find gluten free! Their goat cheese, broccoli and spinach quiche is amazing. I love their chocolate chip cookies and cinnamon rolls. Their baguette and bread loaves are good too! I think the donuts are a bit dense, but they become softer and more enjoyable when microwaved a little. But go early for a bigger selection!! Very yummy options and so many’

Limited selection, with only a couple dairy-free options. On my first visit, in 2017, I was thrilled with my cupcakes! Back again today, I was so sorely disappointed that I felt I needed to update my review. Vanilla cupcake tasted days old; I paid $4 for it and threw half in the bin. Won’t bother going back if the quality is this variable.

Some of their stuff is really good, but when they sell you old pastries at the same high price as fresh ones and you complain, they will not give you your money back. I think that this store employes many young people who do not care about customers, and that is very bad for business. Also, the owner is never recheable. Definitely not good and caring customer service at all! They list me as a loyal customer for sure!!

While their creme puffs are too die for, their other items fell extremely short. I tried their Boston creme, regular creme, regular donut, egg sandwich jawn, and eclair... all of these were dry/thick doughy and hardly flavorful, and the donuts had a tease of creme. Overall, I travelled over an hour because of the reviews... Go somewhere else unless your really hurting for some disappointment.

This facility is 100% gluten free. They also have GF/DF cupcakes (chocolate and vanilla on a Saturday when I went - nothing special) and multiple flavors of GF/DF breads and bagels (cinnamon raisin bagels only on Saturdays). No vegan butter, though, so I had to stop at the grocery store to buy some to enjoy my bagel. Bagels are thick, delicious, and filling. GF (not DF) donuts were "not as good as regular donuts," but my non-GF company said they'd get them again. Bring cash because there's a $10 threshold to use your card. We had already purchased $29 of food and coffee when I realized I forgot 1 coffee. I wasn't able to purchase it because it was $4, and I only had $1 in cash. To-go hot coffee cup was leaking all over and flimsy, leaving us with coffee all over the car and ourselves. Somewhat disappointing in a few ways, but I'd probably go again.

Their donuts and rugelach came highly recommended as seen on reviews and the folks at the restaurant ( Plum On Park ). We got to the bakery to late and kind of wound up choosing goodies from the bottim of the barrel. We did get the rugelach and enjoyed it. Brownie was pretty good and a cupcake was enjoyed. Got a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread which is pretty good considering it's gluten free. Pizza Pocket, Scone, and chocolate chip cookies would not get again. Basically, I'm not too impressed with the bakery. The restaurant( Plum on Park) was outstanding though.
