    Mine, mine, all mine. Vegan Affogato ice cream.
    Brenda C.

    I'm vegan. No worries. I need to go gluten-free. No problem. I want cookies. Check. I'm tired and want to sit down for my dessert. Come on in and let's eat. Hubby and I went in and was warmly greeted by Derrick. He proudly explained all the cookies and ice creams are made fresh daily. If they run out, that's it. He was very generous as we sampled a few flavors but hubby was definitive with his choice, banana foster as I desired affogato. Both flavors were rich and everything here are vegan and gluten free. Melissa, the owner, opened this delightful shop on December 23, 2022. While you may ask if that's all they have is ice cream, they also serve up made daily, cookies and brownies. Melissa is thinking coffee and tea in the coming future. Both she and her trusted associate, Derrick will always be there to serve up the best desserts and friendly customer service. So I ask, is it a fable or just a dream that came true for vegan and/or gluten-free dessert lovers at Fable Creamery? One of the best vegan & gluten-free ice cream in Monmouth County.

    It doesn't matter if you are vegan or not vegan, you will fall in love with this place! It is located in a busy section of Red Bank, though when you walk in, it is peaceful and calm. The fresh smell of chocolate cookies baking was greeting us when we walked in. I came with a group of friends last night and we had 11 people. There was a mix of us: vegan, vegetarian, people who eat meat and people who just love dessert. I was the only one who was gluten free and the wonderful thing about this place is they are both vegan and gluten free. Everything in the place is both. For someone who usually had no gluten free options for dessert at restaurants, this was amazing to experience. I spoke to the owner and she said that was why she made this place both vegan and gluten free, to give people options. They had many ice cream flavors and you can try any flavor of ice cream that you like. Some in my group got the ice cream and others were thinking about the cookies. They had sold out of the macadamia cookies but they had plenty of the chocolate wafer and chocolate walnut cookies left. They also had fudge brownies but no one ordered a brownie. They make other confections like chocolate bon bons, chocolate bars, flavored popcorn, and peanut butter or rainbow sugar cookies, if you don't like chocolate. We didn't see these available when we were there but, we were there at almost closing so that could be why. We were all happy with our choices. And one girl in our group asked the owner how these desserts can be vegan. She was in shock because everything was just that good. I happened to get the chocolate walnut cookie and the almond butter crunch ice cream. Both tasted so good! I loved the ice cream but I think I might have loved the cookie more. I just haven't tasted amazing gluten free cookies in years. It is a small place, with about nine chairs, because we had a group of eleven and two people stood and then took turns with someone who had finished. We didn't mind this, some people wanted to take a break from sitting because we had sat at dinner. The tables and chairs are nice, a mix of wooden and metal tables and metal chairs. We all want to go back asap, even the non-vegans! You must visit this place as soon as possible.

    This place is an absolute dream if you are vegan and/or gluten free. Friendly service and happy to let you sample flavors before you commit. This area of Red Bank is very popular and it's usually challenging to find parking but this place is totally worth it!

    Chocolate Walnut cookie

    This spot first caught my eye online because they only sell gluten free and vegan items. The cookies are AMAZING!!!!! Get there early in the day for the most variety because they sell pretty quickly! I tried a few ice creams before picking the Blueberry Corn Bread flavor - creamy and sweet with a hint of salty and savory, really yummy. I learned that the base is the icecream is coconut, which is great that there's no soy or oat, which I personally dislike. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 star rating is because the icecream had a coconut aftertaste, not in a bad way at all, but I wish it wasn't so prominent. The server/cashier was extremely nice and patient as people asked for many taste tests of ice cream flavors. The vibe overall is very low key and clean. I will definitely be going back!!!!

    Most delicious vegan ice cream ever. We stood there for 10 minutes deciding which flavor to get. Some have heavy coconut background tastes but others were amazingly delicious. Staff were the nicest people ive ever met!!! And continuously offered us more and more tastings Vibe inside was so cute like a modern homey barn We got mint, peanut butter, & chocolate brownie and we ate every last bit. I got the chocolate walnut cookie and it was absolutely delicious, warm, and soft!

    Berry Bar, Peanut Butter Cup, and Chocolate Brownie
    Kevin D.

    During my visit, I experience good customer service: employees are helpful and kind. The establishment offers clean-good Vegan options, the employees make all consumable options in-house. Once I step into the establishment, my nostrils fill with the rich smells of ingredients available in the store. The Chocolate Brownie and Peanut Butter Cup are tasty options. The morsels of Chocolate Brownie elevate the rest of the ice cream flavor, largely understandable as the reason for its name. The Peanut Butter Cup's flavors are distinct: I can taste the dark chocolate covering the peanut butter as much as I do the peanut butter as much as I do the ice cream (which I like, for the flavor variance with each bite [particularly with a peanut butter cup morsel]). The Berry Bar is one of, if not the, best form of dark chocolate I've come to eat. The flavors are consistently present, full, distinctly varying and mesh very well. The establishment takes different forms of payment.

    Chocolate chip mint and cookie dough ice cream!
    Rita B.

    Amazing gluten free, soy free and vegan dessert spot. Lots of great ice cream flavors safe for the kiddo (most of the stuff is coconut based). They have cones and toppings all gf/vegan. The cookies are phenomenal and they offer ice cream cakes too! Highly recommend cookie dough and a chocolate chip cookie.

    Marcus F.

    Such a cute spot with a friendly atmosphere, the guy serving out ice cream was very welcoming and encouraged us to try samples. I decided on the almond buttercrunch and my gf picked the affogato, and both were delicious. They both had a nice creamy feel, and I loved the prominent almond flavor in mine. Would definitely go back.

    The best ice cream we have ever had in our lives. We are not vegans. The staff is so nice. Highly recommend the blueberry corn cookie crumble & affogato.

    Our group of 10 had to navigate a bunch of dietary needs and planned ahead this time due…read morerestaurants that usually can't check all of the boxes. Crust and Crumble was a huge win for our vegans, food allergic kid (nut/egg/soy bean/etc), and strong food preference kids (e.g., French fries, Mac and cheese). Dining room is small and eclectic in the back - hand chairs, a car, lots of 4 seaters - but not good for a boisterous group like us, so we relegated ourselves outside to the pizza shaped tables and benches. The vegan pizza that fell to earth was a winner for my pineapple pizza bbq sauce loving soul (I know that's divisive!) and the dough was not heavy at all! Loved eating my crust! My older daughter loved her pepperoni and garlic masterpiece. Plain cheese (other friend's daughter) was neither a hit nor a miss. French fries were a couple cuts below Red Robin - maybe hotter and less smaller pieces might have been the win on both the sweet potato and regular fries. Sandwiches are huge at the half size and probably could be split or maybe even mixed and matched to get more of an experience of the extensive menu (it was so hard to choose!). The Vegan Eggplant parm with aioli was the winning sandwich, getting rave reviews. The regular eggplant caprese needed something more - a sauce or maybe a better ratio of cheese and tomato to eggplant. Bread was super delicious. We also ordered salads and other pizzas and declared this will be our spot next year. So glad that we were able to find this somewhat hidden spot and that it hit so many high marks for a big family dinner after a day at the beach. Parking also relatively simple to find.

    We did NOT know how large the portions were- be prepared- you will not finish your food (in a good…read moreway). We ordered Individual pizzas- larger than we thought! Lots of vegan topping options, also an order of seitan bites - teriyaki. Service was great and quick- friendly staff. The seitan was delicious- but while you can eat a lot of them- they may keep you full for 24 hrs lol.

They also charge a 3% "dine service charge" with no explanation. I hope they can find some consistency because we really want to support this adorable place.

We ordered cauliflower wings and one empanada as apps and a kid's chkn tenders along with a bakon burger (sub chkn) for our mains. It took 28 minutes before we saw any food. The cauliflower wings were large and def made with fresh cauliflower (with that familiar raw crunch). The batter was raw inside- my guess is the oil temp was high so the outside cooked fast but left a lot of mush inside. The empanada was okay, very light on the filling. Another 19 minutes go by before the kid's chikn tenders come out. Apparently the cook is new and messed up on the bakon burger forgetting to sub the chkn so had to wait yet another 7 minutes for that. Chkn tenders were pretty much the gardein seven grain product and the kiddo seemed to be pleased. The bakon burger, when it finally arrived was a huge disappointment. The bottom bun was dry and hard. It would clank when I tapped it against the plate. There were a few drops of mayo in the middle leaving the entire sandwich dry with a cold slice of cheese- no attempts at melting. I did provide this feedback to our server, who was polite and even went to the back potentially to see if an accommodation could be made. However, none were made and we walked away knowing this was a one and done restaurant.
