Made with a mission

Shelly Henley’s bakery is staffed by employees with autism.

No Label at the Table is described on the company’s website as “a glutenand-dairy-free food company whose mission is to employ people on the autistic spectrum and provide job training skills.” over the years, Henley and Jacob baked together, creating delicious recipes and fond memories. They used some of those recipes as the basis for their business and have experimented over time to substantially increase their offerings.

Located in the heart of the Arts and Design District on W. Main Street in Carmel, No Label at the Table is owned by Shelly Henley, whose oldest son, Jacob, has autism. When Jacob was turning 18 and transitioning to adulthood, he told his mother that he wanted to be a chef in a restaurant. So, with passion and heart — but without any formal culinary or business training — Henley created a business to help make Jacob’s dream a reality.
