I came to this bakery as I need some vegan options for my daughter's birthday and I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and presentation. The cupcakes were moist and delicious and you couldn't even tell they weren't made with dairy or eggs. A must try for sure!! read more

My go to favorite vegan dessert shop! I could honestly come here weekly with how amazing the sweet treats are. Since I don't eat dairy, this place is heaven to a girl with a sweet tooth. I've had the cakes in the past and they are amazing and full of flavor. People are always shocked when I tell them it's a vegan spot. Can't even tell the difference between a cupcake from here vs a cupcake with dairy. The location is small. Street parking only, but I've never had trouble. read more

I still love that place! It's small but always a line inside so you know it's good. This time I went I told the customer in back of me that I am gluten free and she motioned to her son and said he was as well. I actually saw a few kids inside and I thought this is a good place to bring your child who may not one able to eat regular treats. I am vegan/gluten free and I chose a carrot cake truffle to eat then and I got two strawberry shortcake cupcakes for me and my friend. Later we ate them and they were good! I prefer a less sweet frosting but I ate it anyway. And the carrot cake truffle I had was beyond delicious! I am not in the area often but when I am next time, I will return. read more

Sweet Avenue Bake Shop - GLUTEN-FREE (GF) Red Velvet Cupcake and another cupcake (not gluten free) - Bakeries Near Me - Rutherford, New Jersey

Being vegan, it can be a pain if you want to go out for food, especially desserts. With this bakery I don't have to worry about pesky hidden ingredients. First of all, I love the assortment available to choose from. I picked out tiramisu, sexy Sade, and Boston cream cupcakes, as well as an assortment of cake balls. I was really impressed how tasteful and delicious they all were. I highly recommend the tiramisu; it was definitely something I always loved before going vegan and the cupcake definitely hit the spot. The staff are also extremely friendly. Honestly, if this place wasn't so far from me I'd probably come here all the time! read more

I love this quaint little bakery. Mostly cupcakes and cake pop-like bon bons. They do make cakes and cookies and a few other goodies but the stars here are the cupcakes and those cake pops. The ladies here are lovely and friendly. I highly recommend getting a treat here. Prices are above average but the quality is fantastic and they have non-gluten options for seemingly every option available. read more

I got there and first off, the staff was the friendliest people ever. Like genuinely good people. So patient with me. I am not vegan, and was buying vegan treats for a business meeting. I ordered six cupcakes that I did not get to eat. However, I took a chocolate raspberry cake truffle to go for myself to enjoy on the way. And omg... I couldn't believe what I had just put in my mouth was vegan. Super moist, delicious bundle of joy that was in my mouth. I instantly Regretted not getting at least 3 for myself. What a pleasant surprise! An insight on vegan cuisine. As someone who's mother was a professional baker, I never could of imagined pastries and sweet treats that would be so delicious. It was an eye opening experience. I will be back. Not just for my vegan business meetings But because what I ate was delicious, and an experience read more

This is a cute little spot that specializes in vegan and gluten-free sweet treats. Their gluten-free is made with garbanzo bean flour and they have regular goodies made with regular white flour. It was so tiny inside; literally only 2 customers could fit in the bakery at one time. But it was packed with all kinds of goodies from cupcakes, doughnuts, beautiful cakes, cookies and other delightful desserts. The prices were definitely not for the faint-hearted. I paid $9 for a doughnut and a coffee cake using easy contactless Apple Pay. The doughnut was moist, sweet and flavorful- definitely didn't taste gluten-free nor vegan- a positive attribute in any food item. While I was there, I asked about the sweetener they used to bake with and found out they bake with regular white sugar. I certainly would have preferred to find out they use lower glycemic alternatives or even healthier options like agave or coconut sugar. Not much else to object to; but while I certainly appreciated the delicious sweet treats, I probably won't be back as this place is anywhere but within my vicinity. In fact, it was quite a drive. I do recommend that others would try it out though. read more

I heard about this place and I added it as a spot I had to try especially since it is vegan. I called in and asked general questions and they told me I have to go online and order and pay and pick up. I ordered the key lime pie and s'more cupcakes. It costed $8 in total. I went there and picked it up and I had to wait at the door and they passed me the cupcakes threw the door. When I got home I tried the s'mores cupcake and omg it was so good. It was nice and moist and beautifully decorated. I definitely will be back to try something else. read more

I ordered a custom cake and provided a few pictures. I even said that the baker can use their own creativity if they wanted to all i got was plain cake with few gold spots sprayed on and edible pearls. It was definitely not worth extra $35 to customize it! Cake was fresh so i will give it three stars but do not waste your money on getting a cake customized. read more

This is the last time I buy their cupcakes. Up and down with inconsistency but this is the last. Friday afternoon two I got were definitely a day or two old. One was red velvet and other was all chocolate. Dry, you cut in and see the whitish and crumbles and breaks apart, artificial white icing and both totally were just plain gross, inedible. It was a Friday, late afternoon so I think the ones I got were old. I would assume fresh would be baked for Saturday but I got screwed. Happy birthday to me with throwing out my expensive and inedible cupcakes. Inconsistent and no thanks. read more

Who cares if you're not vegan, this shop has some of the most wonderful tasting cupcakes, birthday cakes and occasionally doughnuts in Bergen county. And the fact that they are dairy-free vegan, and gluten-free means you don't have to leave out those friends that you want to share with when you are in a sweet mood. The birthday cakes are also perfect because nobody gets left out and for those sourpusses that say there not vegan just offer them a bite and wait for all the acclamations about they never had a cake that tasted so good. I should know, my daughter got me a smores cupcake, I at first I didn't want it because she mention vegan and I am not, but I gave in and it taste tremendous. Now I go on my own and they always have many other flavors on hand and my second love is the carrot cupcake Everything is beautifully crafted and the shop takes its time making each cupcake look as delicious as it tastes, read more

My sister is vegan so I went to purchase a last minute cake due to a baker canceling order at last minute. The Store was really cute. The service was average. Personally, I felt that the cake was dry and tasted uncooked. The donuts and cookies were no better. My sister on the other hand loved the cake. ( Topper and Candle purchased separately ) read more

I dropped by the Sweet Avenue Bake Shop to pick up some surprise treats for my favorite vegan. It's a really cute retro looking shop, reminds me of pinup posters. The woman working the counter was really nice, knowledgeable, and super excited about all the desserts they were selling. I ended up buying a smores cupcake, a chocolate chip cookie sandwich, a triple chocolate cookie sandwich, and a triple chocolate chip cookie. I ate the cookie right away. It had a waxy aftertaste. The cream in the sandwiches kept the cookie softer, and the sandwiches were much better overall. I didn't get a piece of the cupcake though...lol It's a sweet spot for vegan treats, but a little pricey. Not bad for when I'm too lazy to bake my own vegan treats read more

This place is definitely worth 5 stars. Their vegan treats are absolutely delicious!!! My first time here was to treat my sister for her birthday & . .

Amazing choices for both dairy free (vegan) and gluten free choices. If you're a vegan and you MISS desserts and sweets that aren't dry or flavorless... THIS is the place to go. I try my best to stay away from dairy and gluten if I can help it, and I can't even tell their cake pops are vegan!! Their section of gluten free really takes my craving off of most other sweets. The owner and the employees there are just as sweet as their shop name. I definitely recommend this! Their gluten free donuts, cake pops (the key lime is so good) are AMAZING. read more

I picked this specific bake shop because one of my friends is vegan and we were celebrating my dogs birthday and we needed a cake for the humans. I love that all their cakes are vegan so I did not have to question or ask "is this vegan? is there milk or egg in this?" I ordered 3 cupcakes & a cake via online ordering about 3-4 days in advanced. I was able to pick up with no issues. We ordered the pink birthday, s'mores and dark side of the moon cupcakes & a carrot cake! My favorite was the s'mores and the carrot cake. I wish the carrot cake didn't have so much frosting/cream in it.. It might have been just for decorations but I thought it was too much so we ended up not eating the extra frosting and putting it to the side - which was no problem for us. The carrot cake was so cute and we all enjoyed it. It wasn't too sweet. It was delicious for the humans!! Too bad my dog didn't get to eat it.. he would have probably inhaled the entire thing. read more

Over a year has gone by since my last review of this great Cupcake shop. Since then, I have gone as often as my diet would allow me to splurge - because I never just buy ONE cupcake and I can never just eat ONE. Since my last update, the menu has changed and some of the best sellers have stayed. (You will ALWAYS be #1, my darling FLUFFERNUTTER!!) The new flavors are out of this world. The new Bacon Maple Walnut - OMG. It is fantastic. It's on its second debut - appearing only on Saturdays - and I highly recommend everyone to go NOW or go next Saturday & try this delight. The vegan bacon just adds a delightful twist to this satisfying dream of cake, icing, maple syrup and walnuts. I have to get back there on a Wednesday to FINALLY try the Tiramisu Cupcake and on a Friday to try the Raspberry Swirl & Rosewater Pistachio cupcakes. Oh, my wonderful friends, do not listen to the others below that rated this place 2 or 3 stars and made bad judgements. Follow ME down Sweet Avenue .... come with me and enter into heaven's doors and allow yourself to be awed by the wonderfulness known as Sweet Avenue Bake Shop. With just one taste, you'll know the truth and will come back for more and more ... read more

This bakery has immaculate COVID protocols. Now, as for the bakery itself, I went today for the first time. I was immediately struck by mouth water, the aromatic aroma of cinnamon, and what I imagine Angels smell like. I wasn't sure what to get, but the staff was amiable and helped me get my order together. Everything I purchased, from the donuts to the truffles, was perfect. You can't go wrong when you come here. Conclusion: Staff: 5/5 Food: 5/5 so delicious it's make Gordon Ramsey tell himself to f- off Aroma: 5/5 will give you a heart attack if you can't handle such a delicious aroma. I will definitely be going back to very soon! read more

My little sister is obsessed with Sweet Avenue Bake Shop! She is both gluten and dairy free and it is always hard for her to find a bakery that has options for her but now she's all set. I myself am a big fan of their cupcakes and cake pops. They have drive up options rite now too! read more

Not only is this one of my favorite cupcake bakeries, but it's VEGAN! You can't even tell the difference! The bakery is super cute and displays their cupcakes beautifully. They have a set menu for each day, so check that out before you head over. Also, if you "like" them on Facebook, you can see their daily specials. My favorite is the Sexy Sadie. Their cupcakes are moist, sweet, and just plain heavenly. They have a great ratio of icing to cake. Yummy! They also have a great Gluten/Soy-free variety for those who are Gluten/Soy challenged. My GF friend loves those cupcakes. I'm considering ordering my Wedding cupcakes from Sweet Avenue, but I do wish there was a discount for buying in bulk. Nonetheless, I know my cupcakes will be awesome if I order them from here. I'll be sure to update my review. Even if you're not a Vegan/Vegetarian, you will LOVE their cupcakes! read more

So many flavors!!! I must go on a Friday for the creme brûlée and tiramisu! So how great are these cupcakes? It seems that the very well known non-vegan cupcake shops that make one or two vegan cupcakes are rocking it. Unfortunately they only make the basic flavors so coming here is a treat. There's so many choices and it's not your average vanilla and chocolate. So what should you order? My boyfriend got me one of each cupcake on the Saturday menu and my favorite was the lavender lemon. The cupcakes are not dry but not super moist either. It's better than your average joe because of the frosting and fillings. I love the fillings! Imagine different flavor vegan hostess cupcake. Am I hyping this up for you? If you want them to hold cupcakes for you, you have to book it a week in advance. I have to try those flavors! I wish dun well doughnuts did this. I have yet to try all their flavors. The homemade rice Krispy bar needed more marshmallow! Do not get the doughnut! It's horrible. I rather eat the gas station doughnut or entenmann's. I had the strawberry doughnut that had a neon pink frosting. So why was it horrible? Have you ever had a doughnut from the fake baking set? I haven't but I imagine it tastes like this. Pure sugar. The cookies: the texture and taste was like chips ahoy. If you're into those, here's an expensive and vegan version! The brownie: hard thin chocolate top, mushy bottom. I didn't want to waste my calories on this. My tip- come for the cupcakes but nothing else. read more

If baked goods are vegan, that means I can eat more of it, right? I've actually never had vegan baked goods before, so I was pleasantly surprised to realize that it tastes great! I picked up most, if not all, of their cake truffles and their chocolate crumb cake. The cake truffles tasted absolutely amazing, but of course, you can taste the difference between vegan and non-vegan. The crumb cake wasn't my favorite. It was far too dry and actually, ridiculously crumbly. I was kind of hoping for that jam-packed crumble chunk effect. Overall a really nice place, and I had a pleasant experience with the woman working the counter. A tad on the pricey side, but I imagine baking with vegan ingredients are pricey to begin with, so it makes sense. read more

Whether you're a vegan like my fiancé or an omnivore like myself, anything you choose from here is amazing. Personally, I'd recommend the red velvet or birthday cake truffles but you really can't go wrong. It's a very small place and easy to miss, but appearances can be deceiving. It might also be a bit pricey for some people, but I think it's well worth every penny and makes for a great treat once in a while. 10 out of 10. read more
