Papa Ganache — the beloved vegan and gluten‑free bakery known for its handcrafted sweet and savory treats — has officially opened a new location in Normandy Beach, bringing its plant‑based creations closer to Jersey Shore residents and visitors. The bakery, located at 3620 Route 35 N in Lavallette, is part of a wave of new businesses arriving at the Shore this season.

The Normandy Beach shop opened on May 22, 2026, marking Papa Ganache’s continued growth from its original Matawan storefront into a multi‑location bakery chain. The bakery specializes in small‑batch, entirely vegan and gluten‑free desserts — including pies, donuts, cupcakes, cake pops, cheesecakes, brookies, and more — all made without cholesterol, trans fats, dairy, eggs, preservatives, or animal products.

Beyond its baked goods, Papa Ganache is also known for its community impact. The bakery operates as a social service agency, offering in‑home and in‑community therapeutic services for children and families, along with a Pathways to Work program that teaches teens valuable job skills.
