Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Venue states 'all our items are nut-free' with two named exceptions (Nomtella contains hazelnuts; Pistachio Papi contains pistachios), but explicitly acknowledges 'there is a chance for cross-contamination during the cooking process.' Most items are nut-free by design but shared kitchen/prep means cross-contamination cannot be ruled out.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Venue states it is 'not Halal-licensed but halal-friendly,' does not use rennet or pork/beef gelatine, and all drinks are alcohol-free. No formal certification; accommodation is informal and self-declared rather than verified by an accreditation body.

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

Venue's own FAQ explicitly states: 'Our soufflé pancakes cannot be made gluten-free. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.' The core product is a wheat-based soufflé pancake; no gluten-free alternative is offered. Not appropriate for coeliacs or those requiring gluten-free meals.

Honest caveat: Venue explicitly states gluten-free pancakes are not possible; no GF alternative exists on the menu.

The venue's signature product explicitly uses 'cultured whey butter' as a core ingredient, and pancakes are described as pairable with 'whipped cream or Kumo's specialty housemade gelato.' Dairy is integral to the core product; no dairy-free alternative is mentioned anywhere in the sources.
