Metta Sol Specialty Coffee
Plant-based focused cafe with Vietnamese-inspired vegan menu; owner publicly states 'We are 100% plant-based (vegan)' and most dishes (including all pastries and Clara's cakes) are vegan, though a couple of items still have vegetarian rather than vegan defaults. Multiple HappyCow vegan reviewers (4/4) consistently report clearly labelled options and 'pastries are all vegan'.

Owner-led plant-based ethos means the entire menu is at minimum vegetarian, with all pastries vegan and the remaining few non-vegan items offered with vegetarian options. The cafe is featured at #5 in Wanderlog's '48 best vegan restaurants in Adelaide' list.

Insider-led, Owner, chef, staff, or a close friend or family member needs to avoid this allergen themselves; kitchen practice reflects that.
Plant-based menu means dairy-free across nearly all dishes, all pastries, and plant-milk coffee options; owner-led commitment to plant-based food makes dairy-free dining straightforward. One HappyCow reviewer noted they wished an iced coffee was paired with dairy-free ice cream, suggesting a small inventory gap but no dairy-cross-contamination concerns.

Plant-based menu structurally avoids eggs across all pastries and most dishes; one or two items retain a vegetarian (egg/dairy-containing) option, so confirm at order time.
