The menu lists a 'Brownie Gf'. A Google reviewer also notes many gluten-free options, both savoury and sweet. This shared kitchen serves many wheat-based items like sandwiches, toasties, wraps, muffins, and croissants. No information about dedicated prep areas, fryers, or staff training is available. Cross-contamination risk exists. Any coeliac diner who wants to stay safe should carefully confirm the specific protocols with the staff before ordering anything from the menu.

Best effort ·what tier C means

HappyCow lists this cafe as vegan-friendly but notes it is a non-veg establishment. Vegan options include burrito, croquettes, raw pad thai, and sausage rolls, along with almond milk, soy milk, and vegan chai. Recent reviews are mixed. One vegan reviewer in 2021 found only a sausage roll and chips. Another in 2026 was disappointed to find just a chia pudding available. There is no dedicated vegan kitchen. The menu on the venue's own website does not mark any items as vegan. Vegan availability appears inconsistent and is best confirmed on the day.

The restaurant offers alternative milks for coffee, such as almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk as noted in a photo caption. A vegan chai latte is also listed. The menu does not mark dairy-free options across food items, and many dishes contain cheese, eggs, or cream. No information about dedicated equipment or cross-contamination protocols for dairy-free orders is available. Dairy-free diners should ask staff which items can be adapted.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
