    Vegan & Gluten fee options
    Brian M.

    I have to admit I cheated by copying my first paragraph off the website(LOL) because it describes why they are different to any other bakery I've been to. The rest of the review are my words. Papa Ganache is a small batch vegan bakery offering amazingly delicious vegan and gluten-free sweet and savory treats. Our products are heart-healthy, cholesterol-free, no trans fat, no hydrogenated oil, no high fructose corn syrup, dairy-free, egg-free, all-natural, no preservatives, no animal products, and mostly organic As you walk inside you immediately see the store is brightly lit, extremely clean and inviting. The 2 women were very friendly, sincere, gave great recommendations and explained the benefits of the Vegan and Gluten free options they offered. From what I heard they have specials on the weekend like stuffed donuts. They have a wise range of pastries, brownies, cupcakes, donuts, cakes and other options like lasagna, breakfast sandwiches, etc. They were very accommodating, patient, and explained everything. Prices are not cheap although you get quality amd a healthy choice. In my book that's a great value. I bought a few things to take home including a Vegan Brownie, Vegan gluten feee S'mores bar, Vegan and Gluten free tri-color cookies, and slice of 7 layer cake. Everything I tasted so far was great and made me feel I was eating very healthy. I'm sure I missed out on a lot so I will definitely be back. I highly recommend you give them a try and they are worth the drive.

    I am so happy they opened this store nearby because they sell some baked goods from here in Whole Foods. I love that this bakery is 100% vegan. I decided to stop in and get a couple of my clients some treats. When I arrived I found nearby parking with no issue. When I walked in I was given a warm greeting from the two workers. One of the ladies was very informative for whatever I needed to know about what's vegan, gluten free and different prices. I ordered a bunch of mixed cupcakes and a chocolate chip cookie for me. The place is a bit pricey so prepare for that but most vegan places aren't too cheap. My clients were so exited when I brung the cupcakes in. They were all different flavors for them to choose from. When I got home I warmed up my cookie and endulged. The cookie was very good and soft. I will be back for more.

    I love sweet and savory vegan treats so when I saw Papa Ganache isn't too far from my house, I had to stop by! Papa Ganache is a cute little shop serving up some of the best vegan desserts. Upon walking in, you'll see a food section where they have vegan chicken wraps, mac, and cheese, eggplant wraps, etc. You'll also see a beautiful display case of treats. Everything from cupcakes, cakes, cookies, brownies, all of it! They even have a gluten-free section. The lady who assisted us was super friendly and knowledgeable about every treat. She listed every single one which made it even harder to choose (a good problem to have lol). After contemplating on what to choose we finally made our order: Vegan Mac and Cheese - It was okay. The breadcrumbs somewhat threw me off. Chicken Ranch Wrap - Pretty good! Gluten-Free Swiss Roll - Tasted just like the ones I ate when I was younger. So good! Ube Truffle - DELISH! Tres Leches Cupcake - LOVED! Cookie Dough Truffle - OBSESSED! I wish they were able to warm up our mac and cheese and chicken wrap but it was okay, I heated it up at home. All in all, if you're looking for a good vegan dessert definitely stop by Papa Ganache!

    From top left, going clockwise...  Creme Brulee Cupcake, Vanilla Funfetti Cupcake, Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake, Carrot Cake Cupcake.

    Love the cupcake selection at Papa Ganache. I also like knowing that i don't have to sacrifice taste and these cupcakes are amazing! They're gluten-free and vegan which I love! They also recently put in an area where's you can eat-in/restaurant with limited hours so check that too. I need to try that out soon for sure. I'll be the food is delish. But right now, the cupcakes are pretty awesome.

    My sister and I were nearby and decided to stop by Papa Ganache for some sweet and savory vegan treats! Upon entering, Papa Ganache has such a comforting ambiance and a beautiful layout that showcases all of their food & desserts. The woman who assisted us was also very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about each item that was being offered. There were so many tempting options that we didn't know what to choose at first but she helped us narrow down a few great dessert choices! FOOD: * Vegan Mac & Cheese: 3.5/5. * Chicken Ranch Wrap: 4/5. * Swiss Roll (GF): 4/5. * Tres Leches Cupcake: 4/5. * Cookie Dough Truffle: 4/5. * Ube Truffle: 5/5. For the savory items, we went with the vegan Mac & cheese and chicken ranch wrap. Both items are offered to-go style so that you may take them home and heat them up. I warmed up the vegan Mac & cheese in the microwave and then toasted the breadcrumbs in the air fryer. It was a solid vegan Mac and cheese that had a nice cheesy flavor and garlicky breadcrumbs! As for the chicken ranch wrap, I heated it up in the air fryer and loved the tofu "chicken" pieces and vegan ranch! If I picked it up again, I would add my own lettuce and tomato to add extra freshness- but I understand that it would've been soggy if the store offered it. The stars of the show are definitely the beautifully made vegan desserts! The Swiss Roll was a bit dense but in the best way possible. It certainly had the nostalgic taste of a Swiss Roll and is a great gluten free option! The Tres Leches Cupcake & Cookie Dough Truffle were delicious and would savor any sweet tooth. Lastly, the Ube Truffle was sincerely one of the best desserts I've ever had- period! The inside was a moist and flavorful Ube cake coated in delicious white chocolate. HIGHLY recommend it! Overall, I had an excellent experience at Papa Ganache and would love to stop by again next time I'm in town! They offer amazing service and an array of gorgeous vegan and GF options.

    Dark chocolate, crème brûlée, coconut, and carrot cupcakes to go.

    Papa Ganache opened up in the heart of downtown Cranford this past Saturday, and the way my family tells it, they had a line wrapping down the block outside their storefront! As for me, I slipped in at 5:51pm the following Monday night instead and they were just starting to put things away for the day. The young women at the counter were polite and helped direct me between the vegan dessert selection and the gluten-free section, one on each side. I ordered four vegan cupcakes, which came to a total of $16. Now, I have to preface this by admitting that I've never had a vegan cupcake before. With that said, I thought the flavor of these cupcakes was fairly good, but I did think they were lacking a good deal in moistness. It could be that I had just gotten there at the end of the day so they dried out or maybe this is just part and parcel of vegan cupcakes. Regardless, I was definitely reaching for a tall glass of milk after my taste test. Of the four I tried -- carrot, crème brûlée, coconut, and dark chocolate -- the coconut was definitely the most flavorful and my favorite. Honorable mention to the crème brûlée though, because the crunchy sugary top on that one was very yummy. Overall, a good experience. Five stars instead of four though due to my own lack of know-how when it comes to vegan desserts.

    Friendly Staff, Everything always stocked, and clean place. V E G A N Love the Apple Pie (tasty and huge) Donuts are also a hit. I'd love to find more products with Peanut Butter... Whenever I'm in town I have to go to Papa'

    This is a super cute little bakery and coffee shop in Downtown Westfield. There is street parking…read moreand a few parking lots in the area so we just parked at one, wanted about, and also made a stop here. As a nod to the name (Kirshenbaum is German for cherry tree), there are little cherries everywhere inside from signs to wallpaper. Ample seats, natural light, friendly staff, plus delectable treats make this place a good one to stop at. They also serve light bites but as we were sort of hopping from one place to another on a Sunday, I only ordered a few sweet treats. BLACK FOREST: my daughter picked this, likely because she thought it was a chocolate cake. But it was not your average chocolate cake. A good sized slice with moist cake, cherries, and dark chocolate bits throughout, I highly enjoyed this one. It's perfectly sweet - though I admit my daughter finished the exterior layer of frosting so the thin layered in between the cake were ideal for my taste buds. It was a bit too elevated for my daughter who only really wanted your regular chocolate cake. MATCHA CRUFFIN: This is a croissant-muffin filled with matcha cream, rolled in sugar. The laminated dough was packed so not like your airy-but-crispy-exterior croissant, nor was it noticeable buttery, but it did do its job by keeping its shape and the layers helped give its name. It was lovely to pull apart, with a nice, chewy texture. The filling wasn't exactly in the center (I shared this with my husband) so I dipped a little into the filling (borderline reminded me of pastry cream) that my husband got. It's light but also has a very nice matcha flavor that comes through. RASPBERRY LYCHEE PIE: I love pie and I was happy to find a uniquely flavored one here especially since it reminded me of my favorite ice cream flavor in Europe at Haagen Dazs years back (rose raspberry lychee) so I pounced on it. First off, this is definitely a mousse pie. We're vegetarian so a part of me wonders if gelatin was used to make this so I likely won't get this a second time without me asking the necessary questions - but it is good. As with most mousse confections, this is light and delicate in a way. Airy. Still substantial that I didn't feel cheated out of my money but not too filling. Nothing overpowered each other and the flavors and textures worked together beautifully. There were chunks of raspberries but I don't recall actual bits of lychee fruit in there, though you do get the flavor of it in there. I absolutely love the interesting flavors here and the items I got. I especially am a fan of how everything is perfectly sweet. I have a sweet tooth, but only for things that aren't too sweet and this is completely up my alley. They do have gluten free options but nothing extensive. And I'm pretty sure they include eggs. I have a kid with multiple food allergies and he couldn't have anything here so I got him a bottle of apple juice and he was content with it. I'll definitely stop by again to try more items and get a drink to go with. Maybe get my daughter a cookie since I hear they're pretty good.

    Usually this location has great baked goods, and mediocre prepared hot food. Today i found some…read moregrey specs on my croissant which seem to be consistent with mold from humidity or from some other source of contamination.
