Vegan

confidence 85% ·

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 menu is almost entirely vegan by default, with the only non-vegan items being dairy butter, milk, honey, and eggs offered upon request. Multiple HappyCow reviews confirm 'all items on the menu are vegan' and 'basically everything is vegan'. The kitchen uses plant-based milks (oat, soy, almond, coconut) and vegan butter as standard. A very safe choice for vegans, though dairy and honey are available if asked.

marked menu

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 65% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

Several menu items are marked GF (gluten-free) and the cafe offers a house-made seedy buckwheat bread and gluten-free cakes. The kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes (sourdough, flatbread), so cross-contamination is possible. A coeliac reviewer on FindMeGlutenFree noted GF items are marked and the cafe is 'good with other allergies', but the listing itself warns it is not a dedicated facility. Confirm with staff before ordering.

Dairy-free

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu is dairy-free by default, with vegan butter and plant-based milks (oat, soy, almond, coconut) used as standard. Dairy butter and cow's milk are available upon request. The Atly listing notes 'many gluten and dairy-free meals'. However, the kitchen is shared and dairy is present on premises, so cross-contamination is possible. A good option for dairy-free diners who can confirm with staff.

The menu is largely egg-free by default, with eggs offered as an optional add-on (poached egg, masala egg scramble). The kitchen uses eggs on request, so cross-contamination is possible. Vegan options are clearly marked, making it easy to choose egg-free dishes. Confirm with staff if you have a severe allergy.
