The space is beautiful, everything is mad fresh daily and love love love that everything is GF, which made ordering so much easier and comfortable. BEAUTIFUL interior! Great for meeting up with friends, maybe even small groups (depending on the size of the group). I ordered a coffee and scone. The scone was not too sweet, which I really liked! They clearly use real ingredients and don't oversweeten recipes, which is comfortable to digest. The scone was a bit dry and hard and didn't give the flare of flavor I was hoping for-- I'd ordered a Mexican chocolate scone and wanted to taste deep smoky chocolate and spice. The flavor was much milder and middle of the road. I saved most of it but ate it over the next couple days. Tasted better once the flavors set in I guess. The coffee was just aiight though. I a huge coffee fanatic so this one hit home. Wasn't bad by any means, but didn't spark my soul either. I explore lots of vegan and GF places, and if you're in the area, do go check them out. read more

Such a cute place, it smells like a warm hug and has an array of treats. They have a sit down section, but you can for sure just grab some coffee. They have a holiday menu and EVERYTHING is gluten free which is awesome. Got a cookie and excited to come back and try some items. They also have tea for two menus which we plan on trying. read more

This is a great gluten free bakery and cafe with tables inside to sit and enjoy your food. Just talking about it's getting hot now My daughter from Pennsylvania came for a visit and wanted to go there. She has celiac disease. She purchased scones, cake and cannolis and coffee Everything was fantastic! My husband tasted a scone and you couldn't even tell it was gluten free. This is a place for us to go to get her fresh gluten free bakery items. We will definitely be going back. read more

This was a fun and cute spot I found for bfast making our way to NY. We enjoyed all the references to Wicked throughout the cafe. We came bc my girl loves crepes and we were so happy to hear that they could make a raspberry chocolate one though it wasn't on the menu. I enjoyed my savory breakfast crepe. My husband didn't enjoy his waffle as much as it was very crunchy, probly bc it was gluten-free. Their espresso drinks were pretty decent. My eye caught the chocolate strawberry latte so I got it... tasted like Neapolitan drink. It was a sweet way of starting the day! read more

Very cute themed place that's entirely gluten free. I ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich and a caramel latte. My friend got their avocado toast, oatmeal blueberry dessert, and a chai latte. I would have ordered the chicken parm but sadly they do not have real mozzarella. They do carry real ricotta, pecorino romano, and blue cheese on some items on the menu but a chicken parm needs mozz. Wish they had more real cheese options since dairy free cheese just tastes too fake to me. The chicken cutlet was crispy and the sandwich came out hot. I didn't taste much of the chipotle "mayo" and the bread was a lot for how thin the chicken cutlet was so I took the top part off. The bread is good and doesn't fall apart. The caramel latte was delicious. read more

So cute from the decor to the drinks to the food! Such a great spot and easy parking!

The service was amazing!! The woman taint our order was so kind and full of helpful recommendations as I hadn't been there before. She helped me pick the perfect tea blend for an iced tea and selected a great allergy friendly treat for all my in laws! From vegan, to nuts, to gluten free they had something for everyone!! read more

Cute place to meet my friend. Cozy ambiance and wide assortment of teas. My friend ordered their Shiz egg dish and I had a savory scone, very large portions, reasonably priced and ample parking in the back. read more

I love the Wicked theme, I'm surprised to have such creativity from an actual place near me, not even a pop up. I love the bakery options and they were even gluten free. The matcha was excellent, dissapointed it wasn't named after Wicked, it was literally green, but basically my only complaint. The workers seem very welcoming and caring too. read more

Defying Gravitea - How cute--and on point--is this? - Desserts Near Me - Pequannock Township, New Jersey

I went here with a friend because she was looking for some gluten-free treats. I got myself a cinnamon toast latte and I really enjoyed it. I probably should have got a more exciting drink but maybe next time I thought they had a great menu and were very friendly and my girlfriend who always has trouble finding stuff to eat was able to enjoy her meal. read more

I went on Labor Day and they were busy but I was still unhappy with my experience here. Firstly, I got "tea for 2". Without paying much attention to the price (definitely my fault), because how much should tea and sandwich halves cost anyway. $75 is what it cost. $75 for tea, 4 sandwich halves, a slice of quiche and soup. The quiche came out refrigerator cold and my tea came out luke warm. This is a tea place...they should be able to get this right, like there should be real expertise in making sure the water is the right temperature. Furthermore, the sugar came with a sugary gunked up spoon...like other people were using the same sugar spoon. I'm not sure this is even sanitary, no guarantee that the last person didn't add sugar, taste their tea, then add more with the same spoon...only for that spoon to now end up in my tea. It was a cute place, nice atmosphere, but way overpriced and they missed the mark too many times for me to give it a good review or want to return. Instead of apologizing and saying "it's labor day and we weren't expecting a crowd", try to make it right next time. read more

This is our favorite cafe, and it is dangerous (but also peak joy) to have it within walking distance. The breakfast crepe is glorious, with the perfect balance of pesto and sausage, and while there is always a monthly scone flavor on rotation, you may find yourself dreaming of the matcha almond or peanut butter chocolate one. This place is warm and welcoming as soon as you walk in; when you're there, you feel like you're home, and I love seeing all the smiles from people enjoying this wondrous haven. Chatting with the staff (and sometimes Gina herself!) always makes my day a little brighter. Definitely try the Mooneyes Matcha if you enjoy your matcha latte with a little kick, and if you want some decadence, the peanut butter chocolate cake will knock your socks off. So creamy and rich! read more

The cafe is very nicely decorated and smells wonderful. I was looking forward to getting some wonderful fresh GF items. We took the baked goods home & they were very dry and tasteless. Most of it was thrown out. I have made better and purchased better at the GF bakery in Hawthorne. I will not be going back. read more

Great brunch spot with great coffees. I love the large drip coffee 1 the mug it comes in is so gratifying. Gluten free fans will love this place - gluten free doesn't equate to any sacrifices here. The menu is tasty and the sweets are yummy. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. The owner Gina is super friendly and accommodating. Great spot and glad to see patrons each time i attend. read more

Defying Gravitea is a cute spot for breakfast, coffee/tea, or some little sweets. My mom and I stopped in early one morning and the owner Gina was super friendly and welcoming. The menu is entirely gluten/dairy free and as someone who is not gluten or dairy free, I believe the food was just as tasty, if not better! I had a pot of Rise + Glow tea and French toast. Will definitely be back! read more

Tried the Arugula Chicken & Balsamic sandwich for a lunch takeout - it was messy, sticky, and tricky to eat. Tasted good, but not what I expected, and it's on the pricey side (what isn't these days?). Probably won't get lunch there again, but their cupcakes are worth it. Huge, but delicious. I would love to try some of their other bakery items in the future. read more

This place is outstanding!! I am dairy free and enjoyed their crispy chicken cutlet sandwhich with chipotle mayo. I ordered a slice of their lemon loaf and an espresso chocolate chip cookie with a golden milk latte. Absolutely phenomenal read more

Beautiful little cafe with many GF and dairy free choices. Delicious wraps, sandwiches and baked goods.

I'm blown away by this tea shop and breakfast/lunch business that caters entirely gluten free. The food is delicious and the baked goods are perfectly sweet but not too sweet. I loved the ambiance and the ample spaces to sit and enjoy breakfast and lunch. The tea was soothing and delicious. The staff is so attentive and welcoming. This truly is a home away from home for me to work. I'm looking forward to a weekly visit here. read more

This place is truly a 5/5. From the staff to the food to the ambiance; everything is perfect. You walk in and you instantly feel warm and comfortable. They have an incredible selection of teas and even cute mocktails! Beyond the drinks, the food is not only incredible but consistently on point! The good morning Gina and waffle are two of my many favorites. On top of all of that you get the added bonus of supporting a strong woman owned business as well as eating food that is good for you! I always leave with a full belly but even fuller heart. Grateful to have found such an amazing place! read more

Here's the deal: great coffee shop hidden in a small strip of stores very well decorated has tables, space, and high tops, and longer tables for parties. Food is good and service is very friendly and accommodating. Not quite the "hipster, EDM music", playing softly, in the background kind of place, but still a great place to visit for a great cup of coffee and food read more

Omg I just had the very best sweet potato & yogurt parfait. So delicious I love everything here. My go-to is the egg & dairy free cheese sandwich on the gluten free brioche bun. It's delightful read more

Coffee is amazing! Food is delicious! One of the only places in the area that serves truly quality gluten free food

Place is very nicely set up and I have to say the food is prepared well. The two reasons my review dropped down is: 1. I spend half of my time living in London and the other half here. I ordered the fish and chips, which were not on the menu but were written on a counter board. The fish was excellent and the potatoes also. However, the dish did not come with tartar sauce, which would be a 'sacrilege' in London but my taste buds rebelled at the sauce that was provided. Terrible. 2. There are no waiters there so you have to order at the counter and hope the cashier hears your order correctly. And they have a few kinks to work out yet as the table we sat down at was dirty. I guess the busboy needs a little more training. These are little things and I'm sure they'll get more proficient as they get more experience running a restaurant. Good luck with this place as it will be a very good addition to the area, especially since Little Food closed down. read more

Went for breakfast with my husband and we ended up buying the Mac n cheese to go. BEST DECISION EVER! First off we got 3 meals out of it ! Which was amazing for the price and well worth it. And second I've been craving it every day since we finished it that's how good it is! Everything here is amazing. A few of our other favs are the breakfast crepe, avocado toast, chicken salad, lemon cake, & whealth bar! The owner Gina is amazing!! If you have questions or wondering what something new on the menu is she takes her time going over it with you. She's always a friendly face and makes you feel right at home! read more

Very cute new café! I love a good indoor tree and this place definitely gives a homey feel coupled with trendy/cute aesthetic. I stopped by around 7:30/8 one morning and was surprised that they didn't offer all of the scones that they have listed on their website. However, the iced coffee I got was very tasty. I love how they have a lot of Gluten Free and Vegan options. I'll definitely come back on a day where I have time for a fuller breakfast. read more

Came here with my BF because of the 4.5 star reviews. I would give 4.5 stars to the ambience & decor of the cafe. It's very cute and nicely laid out. That being said, I ordered the meatball sub, avocado toast, and a lemonade - I've never been more disappointed in eating/paying these overpriced dishes. Avocado Toast was the size of a large mozzarella stick (just 1 slice with a mountain of avocado). Meatball sub was very floury - it had more dough and flour than meatballs. Lemonade was 99% water and 1% lemon juice. We only had lemonade because all they had was coffee/teas, but no natural juices. We thought maybe we were served with the bottom/last batch of lemonade but even after adding all the sugar, it was still tasteless. All of this for $42 is a robbery. I appreciate the farm-to-table approach with the menu and theme of the cafe. I came here because of that and for the reviews. However, I was met with disappointment, a dent in my wallet, and 2 very sad tummies. Hope it improves! read more

Amazing food choices within a restrictive diet, great service, friendly welcoming staff and cafe area with awesome music - we'll be back of course! read more

I absolutely love this place! I generally take my food to go, but on occasion I have eaten here because I love the ambience and the staff! The peanut butter energy balls are my go snacks now! I always stop in for these! The waffles, flourless oatmeal pancake and the breakfast crepe are just some of the breakfasts that I enjoy. The sweat potato ricotta salad with chicken, the chicken salad, and the bacon and bleu are some of my lunch favs! Definitely try the cold brew and a dirty chai...they are fantastic! Last but not least...if you'd like to treat yourself...definitely have a woohoo pie and or some scones!! I will be trying some new items the next time I go in...Stay tuned!! read more

Went this week because they were open on a Monday and we had a wonderful ladies lunch. This place is so good that we were making plans to return before we even ate! The chicken salad, breakfast crepe, and avocado toast were all yummy and we had our own tea, too. All washed down with the most moist chocolate cupcake that I had to grab another to take home. Owner is just a doll. We felt cared for like at home. Highly recommend for lunch or baked goods. Also highly recommend for a girls lunch or tea party. read more

Let me start off by saying this new shop is sooo cute! I will be keeping it in mind when I'm looking for an event space. I ordered a iced hazelnut latte oatmilk that was made to perfection. And I highly recommend ordering the Good Morning Gina breakfast (I wish I had taken a photo before I devoured it ! ) very healthy full of flavor will definitely be ordering this again ! The only thing I'd say I'd like to see at the new shop is maybe some sugar free flavor options for coffee. Really happy to see that they have dairy alternatives though ! Welcome to town !! read more

Food and coffee are VERY good! Decor is very well done and inviting. I like that you can make reservations and the location is very convenient with parking in back. However the food made to order service is slow, worth the wait, but slow. We will continue to visit - super cute w great food and coffee. read more

What a pleasant surprise! It's a beautiful, hangout-worthy coffee/tea/bake shop/cafe with a delicious, and creative gluten free menu! We had the avocado toast + egg + xtra crispy turkey bacon, and "Gina's Favorite": sweet potato, and egg mash with veggies. Both were really good! The coffee was also amazing and we took home a slice of banana bread! See you there! read more
