Bellyfish Cafe offers gluten-free bread and adaptable dishes. The menu marks a few items like GF toast, fish and chips, and burgers as gluten-free or adaptable, but a shared kitchen notice warns that the kitchen contains allergens including gluten. A nutritionist blogger reported good quality GF bread and options. An Atly community source notes some risk of cross-contamination, and while staff are described as helpful, there is no dedicated fryer or prep area, so this place is best for those who can manage some risk. Coeliacs should confirm protocols directly with the kitchen.

Vegan items are listed. It includes the Acai Bowl, the 'O.G' Tofu Stack, Fruit (gluten-free and vegan), and the Nourish Bowl, and a Google reviewer says staff are helpful with allergens. The shared kitchen has nuts and gluten. No dedicated vegan equipment is mentioned, so plant-based diners who communicate their needs should be fine, but those with both coeliac disease and vegan requirements need to be extra cautious.
