    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.

    The cookies and cream and chocolate was the best vegan ice cream ever! My girl friend is very picky and she loved the chocolate.

This is the kind of ice cream place I would enjoy taking guests to. A very wide selection of unique flavors (that also seemed to be very generous with add-ins), offers soft serve, frozen yogurt. and hard ice cream, as well as sherbet. The toppings menu is also extensive allowing for tons of customization so everyone can leave happy. Needless to say, when I walked in, I had to ask for some extra time just to take in all my options! The interior is optimized for take-out ice cream, both in the way the queue is setup (using freezers filled with take home pints and treats), but also with the limited seating both inside and outside. Be prepared to enjoy your dessert in your car during a nice summer day. Prices were very fair and I thought the flavors had good taste, though some were tastier than others (so be sure to ask for a sample if you're between options. I tried one that was a bit more artificial than I prefer.) The man who served me during my visit seemed agitated and perhaps overwhelmed so I won't take points off for what seemed like a bad day. Overall would recommend giving them a shot

Since moving to upstate NY four years ago, I only get to Good Karma when visiting family in NJ. During our latest trip we stopped at Good Karma to pick-up dinner on the way to my parent's house. We ordered the Love Bowl, Gado Gado Salad, and the Live Nachos. Issues: 1) The Gado Gada salad was a big miss. It's supposed to include lettuce, tofu, cabbage, carrots, roasted peanuts, and a sesame seed mix. There was ZERO sesame seed mix and literally ONE roasted peanut. We had asked the tofu be swapped for beans, which did happen, but basically all my wife got was a salad with lettuce and beans. 2) Live Nachos: what a HUGE disappointment. I've had these a number of times in the past and was really looking forward to these. One of my favorite parts has always been the creamy cashew sour cream. THIS TIME, there was one small dollop of the cashew cream. We basically paid $15 for a box of seasoned lettuce with 8 nacho chips -- not nearly enough chips to even eat with our seasoned lettuce. The Love Bowl, fortunately, was on par with my past experiences. However, the experience still left me questioning whether it's worth returning to Good Karma next time.
