Sweet Avenue Bakery is a small storefront in Rutherford full of personality. With its hot pink cupcake logo and vintage-inspired style, the shop feels like a modern take on a 1950’s sweet store. You can almost imagine this spot as the hangout for New Jersey’s version of the vegan “Pink Ladies.”

The shop is 100% vegan and does not use dairy products like eggs or milk, or other animal products like gelatin or honey. Some of the products are available gluten-free or soy-free.

While the shop does offer gluten-free and soy-free products, it is not strictly a gluten-free/soy-free facility and does use wheat flour or soy products for other recipes. It also does not use tree nuts or any nut flour in recipes, but they emphasize that the raw materials they bake with may be processed in facilities that also process nuts.

Sweet Avenue uses separate baking utensils for these reasons, but cross-contamination is possible, and the same ovens are used.

The vegan truffles are a must-try for those o enjoy cake but prefer a small serving. . The small round cake balls are dipped in a thin coating of icing and crowned with just the right amount of sprinkles. However, we must warn you, pop one of these in your mouth, and you are bound to order a whole cake for yourself. Or two. And yes, there is an orange creamsicle cake truffle that has your name on it.

Sweet Avenue Bake Shop has a vast selection of other vegan bites including donuts, cookies, brownies, and grab-and-go vegan candy with clever names like “No Whey, Chocolate Bar.”
