Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.
The venue is explicitly described as a vegetarian and vegan café. The Uber Eats menu marks several dishes as vegan (V), and dozens of HappyCow reviews from vegans confirm the food is reliably suitable. Though the kitchen is not 100% vegan (it also serves vegetarian dishes with dairy/eggs), the vegan options are clearly marked and the staff are accustomed to handling vegan requests. Multiple vegan diners report happy experiences across many visits.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
The Uber Eats menu marks several dishes as gluten-free (GF), and the HappyCow listing notes gluten-free options are catered for, but nothing indicates a dedicated kitchen, fryer, equipment, or formal coeliac accreditation. A shared vegetarian/vegan kitchen likely serves both GF and gluten-containing items, so cross-contamination risk exists. Staff awareness appears moderate from the reviews. Best to call ahead and discuss your needs.

Dairy-free

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
The Uber Eats menu marks several items as dairy-free (DF), and multiple HappyCow reviews mention dairy-free options like soy and almond milk for drinks. However, the kitchen is not 100% dairy-free — many vegetarian dishes contain cheese, cream, and butter. Cross-contamination is possible in a shared prep space. Marked menu and allergen-aware staff, but no dedicated equipment.

Egg-free

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.
Some HappyCow reviewers mention egg-free dishes, and the Uber Eats menu shows several items that are vegan (and thus egg-free), but there is no marked egg-free section and the kitchen also produces egg-based vegetarian dishes. Staff may accommodate if asked, but no dedicated equipment or training is documented. Community help wanted to verify egg-free reliability.

Soy-free
confidence 40% ·
Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.
The Uber Eats menu lists items with tofu and a 'Spicy Tofu Scramble', so soy is present in the kitchen. Some drinks are offered with soy milk as an option. No source mentions a soy-free menu or cross-contamination controls for soy. Staff may be able to advise on dishes that avoid soy, but confidence is low due to lack of dedicated protocols. Call ahead.

Low-FODMAP

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.
No source explicitly mentions low-FODMAP options. A couple of Uber Eats dishes (like the Buddha Bowl with vermicelli noodles) may be adaptable, but the venue does not market itself as low-FODMAP friendly. Community help wanted to confirm if staff can accommodate.
Reminder
Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
