No Label at The Table Food Company, Carmel, Indiana A gluten-free, dairy-free bakery and food company staffed by people on the autism spectrum No Label at The Table isn't just a bakery. It's a quietly revolutionary act of love that happens to make extraordinary food. The story begins with a mother and her son, "Chef J," who was diagnosed with autism in 2000. When he turned eighteen and announced he wanted to be a chef, his family didn't laugh it off for long. They recognized what so many employers miss, which is that the very traits associated with autism, such as an exceptional palate, meticulous attention to detail, and a love of process-driven work, are strengths in a kitchen rather than liabilities. Rather than let her son be relegated to a dishwashing role that would waste his potential, his mom wrote a business plan, talked her way into the Carmel Farmer's Market, and built a real company around his dream. What makes this place remarkable is that it solved two problems at once. It gave Chef J meaningful work where he is the boss and executive chef running his own kitchen, and it created that same dignity for others. By their March 2018 grand opening, they employed 13 people on the autism spectrum, with employees who've gone on to build the company's website and others who've left to head off to college. They didn't just hire for charity. They built a workplace where neurodivergent employees are valued for exactly who they are. The name says it all, because there are no labels at this table. And the food delivers. Everything is genuinely gluten-free and dairy-free, not an afterthought but the foundation, since Chef J has eaten this way since he was a toddler, back when almost no one knew what "gluten free" even meant. The daily menu is mouthwatering and ambitious: German chocolate cakes, apple danish, snickerdoodle and red velvet cupcakes, whoopie pies with marshmallow meringue, English muffins, garlic breadsticks, fresh bread loaves, s'more bars, brownies, and more, rotating fresh each day. People with dietary restrictions often resign themselves to mediocre substitutes. Here, the allergen-friendly baking is the whole point, and the quality shows. The philosophy behind it is the real heart of the business. As the founder puts it, work should make you feel needed and important, and that need gives you a feeling that you are important. For someone on the spectrum, she explains, work has to be enjoyable, otherwise it's just another tedious task in a world that doesn't always make sense. That conviction is baked into every product they sell. **If you're in Carmel, go. Order online if you're not.** You'll get genuinely delicious gluten-free, dairy-free treats, and you'll be backing a family that turned "hope and hustle" into dignified, life-changing employment for an entire community of people the rest of the world too often overlooks. This is what a business with a soul looks like. Five stars, without hesitation. Location: 111 W Main St, Suite 145, Carmel IN 46033. Tue to Fri 10am to 6pm, Sat 10am to 4pm.

The bakery items and service are always terrific! I highly recommend No Label At the Table!

A bought their chocolate cake and some cupcakes for a birthday party. OMG are they fantastic, and especially so with them being gluten and dairy free. So whether or not you have allergies, still run to this bakery! YUM! Oh, and as an added bonus the counter person helped me with the door and cautioned me to be cautious on the roundabouts. Cool. read more

Being able to pop into a bakery and find so many delightful gluten free and dairy free treats is absolutely fantastic. No Label is a walk in, take out type bakery with no frills but plenty of tasty treats. I popped in recently and had this amazing gf/df coconut cake with lemon curd that was so moist and the lemon curd was perfectly tart. The snickerdoodle cupcake was cinnamony and perfect with a cup of hot tea. The price for the baked goods are right what I'd expected, and make coming in on a whim easy as pie. I had No Label make my birthday cake a few years ago, too, and enjoyed it! Full cakes can be a bit pricey, but for a cake that fits dietary restrictions on a special occasion, it worked. :) Looking forward to my next visit when I'm in Carmel! read more

Still loving this place! My family continues to order birthday cakes from here, since they're all dairy free. I will note that not all are nut free so if that's a concern, you can email them and they will respond pretty quickly. Also when ordering a cake, do it in advance and give them at least a few days advance notice. It's worth it! I finally got to try their lemon cake this time around and holy cow! You would not guess that it was gluten free and dairy free. The cake is so moist and flavorful. Very strong lemon flavor and I'm in love!!! The roses on top are beautifully done. The cookie dough cake is a family favorite and I honestly feel like they've somehow improved it since it tastes even better than I remember it. Highly recommend. I will also note that all of their cakes that I've tried thus far freeze well, so if you want to buy a big cake and then freeze half of it, go wild! Some other family favorites: -Quinoa black bean chili (tastes great even after freezing too!) -red velvet cake -pumpkin pie read more

No Label At The Table - Vegan chocolate birthday cake for my son that is dairy free and egg free. - Bakeries Near Me - Carmel, Indiana

I found No Label At The Table in 2018 and visited for the first time in 6 years. Nothing has changed (in the best possible way)! There are so many things that I love about this bakery. Firstly, the shop has stayed relatively the same since I last saw it. You walk in and see clean counters, blue walls, a baking area, and a case full of sweets. I have never felt rushed by the staff and they are always friendly. Another thing I appreciate is that No Label At The Table employs people on the Autism Spectrum. This bakery also has some of the most clearly labeled items I have come across regarding gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free. Every baked good in the case has a clearly labeled tag and every take-home good has all ingredients listed. Finally, the sweets are delicious! The sweets are flavorful and have not made me sick once (win!). This is a must-visit bakery if you are visiting the Indianapolis Metro area! read more

By far the best gluten free and dairy free treats I have eaten since switching to a no gluten diet. The oatmeal pie is amazing. The red velvet cupcake is amazing. The english muffins are amazing. The owner is providing a much needed product. Please support this business, because without it us living with allergies are reduced to eating sweet treats that taste like cardboard sprinkled with sugar. The owner is so nice and very helpful. From her I have learned to look for certain ingredients in gluten free items that are 'better tasting' than others. read more

Owners and employees are fantastic. Cakes cookies and all snacks are wonderful. I have had them at the store location and also at farmers market in Carmel and other festivals. Very much a family friendly experience!!!! read more

I had wanted to visit No Label at the Table ever since I heard about it about a year ago. A bakery that employs people on the autism spectrum? Heck yes! I love this idea and the heart behind the place. Plus, they seem super conscientious about offering quality baked goods for people looking for vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free options. I preordered a whole vegan apple pie for some people who are vegan, and the pie is beautiful. I haven't actually eaten it (it's not for me, it's a gift), so I'm hoping they enjoy it. But I couldn't just walk out of the store without something to eat, so I ordered a mini cherry pie for myself. There were lots of different baked goods in the display case: mini pies, cookie sandwiches called Oatmeal Dreams, cupcakes and more. All were gluten-free and dairy-free. I'm so glad that gluten-free and dairy-free baked goods exist for people with diets that don't allow them to have those things. But as for me, I think I'll stick with traditional pie. I've learned that gluten and dairy are the two things I love about pie! That said, if you're looking for a place that takes food intolerances seriously, this is your place. Plus, the prices are more than reasonable. My whole pie was $22, and the mini pie was $7. read more

Stopped in for a coffee cake, which you don't get very often when you can't eat gluten. It was a huge hit! We also love their soup. My daughter loves coming home from school and heating some up for a snack or for dinner. Healthy ingredients and delicious:) read more

All the reviews speak for me. All I can do is reinforce the outstanding reviews that are already posted. We went on a Sunday and got there 45 minutes after they opened. They were already down to 3 boxes (one dozen) of apple cider donuts. Everyone coming in had preordered them. So of course I had to get a box. Amazing apple cider donuts. I also got a cake pop, oatmeal dream, carrot cake cupcake, and snickerdoodles. Yea, we lost control. I took the donuts to work and everyone loved them. That carrot cake cupcake is one of the best cupcakes I have had. They have so many products. They post their menu on their site each day. The founder, Shelly, was behind the counter when we went. She answered all of my questions in such great detail. read more

Great selection of gluten free bakery items with a safe kitchen. They also are able to manage several other food allergies. I wasn't a fan of the giant cookie (a little dry) but my daughter liked hers. The English muffins were amazing. It is so nice to be able to have poached eggs at home on a really good English muffin- recommend! I will be back to try some other goods. Staff were nice. read more

My granddaughter has celiac disease. We wanted to celebrate her 6th birthday and get her a delicious cake that she could eat and everyone would enjoy. No Label At The Table did not disappoint. We got 2 delicious cakes. One for her friend's party and one for her family party. She wanted it in the shape of an emoji. The bakery did an excellent job both times creating this special cake for her. It was so delicious! The smile on her face was the greatest thing as people commented on her emoji cake . It will be a birthday to remember and we will be visiting this bakery and all the wonderful people connected with it again. read more

This shop is incredible! Everything tastes amazing and is a blessing to those with food allergies and intolerances. Don't forget to check their social media for the menu and order ahead options and don't miss out on preordering your donuts once a month. The Homer ones are the best! read more

I'm not supposed to eat a lot of sweets because I'm a post-op bariatric patient, but it's been a year and half so... treat yo self in moderation. I had been looking for an oatmeal cream pie for my husband and heard about their Oatmeal Dream pies. Walking in the shop, it's very clean and the display case has a lot of goodies. The worker asked immediately if I had any allergies when I walked in and I informed her no. All the food is dairy and gluten free AND prepared by individuals on the autism spectrum. That's what got me in the door. My husband is on the spectrum and I'm so glad that this option is available. The Oatmeal Dream pies were amazing. I ate half of one. The cookie part was chewy, very cinnamon-forward, and thick. The icing inside was sweet and fluffy. It was one of the best desserts I've ever had! I will definitely be back and try their other options. I'm hoping to snag a ginger-maple Dream pie cookie next time! Keep up the amazing work! read more

Located on Main Street in Downtown Carmel, this bakery employ people on the autistic spectrum and provide job training skills. How absolutely amazing is that?! It's truly a wonderful place to support. They're also a gluten and dairy free food company with an ever-changing menu. From reading other reviews, I've learned that it's best to order ahead. I personally came in on a Saturday afternoon and there was only oatmeal cream pies left, so I didn't have much to choose from (I'll order online or call ahead next time!). The oatmeal cream pie was amazing though and I would definitely come back for it. Looking at their menu today, it looks like they have donuts, sandwiches, dinner rolls, lemon blueberry muffins, brownies, cereal treats and more. I'll have to try some of that! read more

If you are looking for gluten free baked goods you need not look any further than NO LABEL AT THE TABLE. I purchased the Cherry Coffee Cake, Pumpkin Cinnamon Loaf and a Brownie. My guests enjoyed them all. Some of my guests are gluten intolerant and commented that most gluten free items taste like cardboard but certainly not the baked items from this shop. They even commented that they were going to recommend No Label At The Table to their friends and family. And why not, support these small businesses. No Label At The Table is a family run bakery that puts their heart and soul in to everything that they make and you can taste it! The staff is friendly, very helpful and courteous. Shelley the owner whose son is on the autism spectrum and who works at the bakery has also hired people that are also on the autism spectrum. So purchase some delicious baked goods from No Label At The Table you'll make your tummy feel good as well as your heart. They can even ship baked goods to your door through UPS. read more

WOW, WOW, WOW! Can I start a review that way? Welp... it happened! I turned 40 this summer, and it happened to be a month after I switched to a plant-based, vegan lifestyle. 40 is such a special birthday that I knew I needed the perfect cake. I researched several local spots that offered vegan cakes and gave the list to my hubby and kids and go from there. I definitely put stars next to No Label at the Table, and hoped this is the bakery they'd choose. Why was this important to me? I love everything this bakery stands for, especially their mission; "We are a gluten and dairy free food company whose mission is to employ people on the autistic spectrum and provide job training skills." Let's talk taste... YUM! My kids chose the strawberry lemon cake for me and it tasted as good as it looked. The cake was moist, the icing was sweet... but not too sweet, and it was just beautiful. I even loved the personal touches of the company. When I tagged them in a picture on Instagram, one of the employees commented his name and told me he was the one who had made my cake. It was nice for me to be able to personally thank the baker. They offer cakes, cookies, this summer I saw breadsticks, and more! I will most definitely get more goodies from there! read more

LOVE this bakery in Carmel! Whenever I am in Carmel I HAVE to stop in for their Pumpkin-something bread... I believe it is cinnamon, but I am not 100% on that. Honestly I always call it Pumpkin Spice and they know what I am talking about! On my next visit I will update this review with the correct name. Everything in this bakery is dairy and gluten-free!! Win! Win! Keep in mind that this is a small bakery, if you do not go early you may miss out on the favorites!

I'm on a mission to tell everyone I know about this new local business in the Carmel Arts & Design District. No Label at the Table is a dairy and gluten free bakery serving treats like cookies, donuts, muffins and cakes - but it is so much more than that. No Label started as a vendor at the Carmel Farmers' Market just a year ago. The business employs individuals on the autism spectrum, of all ability levels. The owner knew very little of operating a food business, but started No Label so her son could find meaningful employment, as could others. Additionally, they display and sell artwork from Outside the Box, an Indy non-profit that empowers adults with developmental disabilities to find and create meaning in their lives. Oh, and did I mention the treats are delicious? The blueberry muffins specifically are my favorite right now...and, they're priced affordably. I got 5 muffins and one cookie for a total of $10. I can't wait to see what creative bakery items the staff at No Label will make in the coming months! read more

I can't say enough good things about this business. We live over a half a hour north but every time we are in Carmel we stop in. The customer service is outstanding. The owner was taking our order when she found out we were going to the park and my sons cookie sandwich may melt she gave us an ice pack to keep it cool for him while he played. They always have delicious vegan options for me and you would never know their items are allergy friendly because they are so tasty. Plus with the mission behind the business what isn't there to love? read more

I love the concept of this bakery! I first looked into gluten free cupcakes for my son's birthday and found this place! We do not have allergies but we have many friends who do so finding gluten free and dairy free is awesome! I placed my order online and received a follow up text confirmation with additional questions. They communicated via text until I picked up my delivery. So smooth and easy! I requested 'little boy' cupcakes as my son was asking for a superhero theme so I wanted anything red, Blue, Black, etc. When I picked them up they were proud to tell me they did black and blue, like Star Wars! While Star Wars wasn't our theme, (they didn't have anything Star Wars to them except the colored sprinkles :)) They were so proud of what they've created! I loved it! The cupcakes were also delicious :) Gluten free mom and son approved I highly highly recommend ordering from here! We will be back, shortly!! read more

Love having a dedicated gluten free bakery nearby! Everything here is gluten-free and dairy-free, and several items are free from other common allergens. I love getting the tea breads here. They are a great size and only $4 a piece. The ginger pumpkin, chocolate pumpkin, and vegan chocolate are a few of my faves. The cookie sandwiches are great, too (oatmeal cookie and peanut butter cookie). Oh and try the lemon almond cookies, they won't disappoint! So many great options here! read more
