Friars Cafe

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 marks one dish as GF (Grilled Barramundi) and charges $2.00 extra for a gluten-free toast option. Multiple community reviews on Atly mention 'many gluten-free options' and that the cafe 'caters very well for gluten free'. The AGFG listing tags 'Gluten Free Options'. However there is no mention of a dedicated fryer, separate prep area, or staff training for coeliac safety; the kitchen appears to be a standard shared space. This is a reliable choice for gluten-free options in a shared kitchen — best to confirm cross-contamination practices with staff before ordering.

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 ThreeBestRated listing states 'perfect for vegan and vegetarian options' and the AGFG listing includes 'Vegan Options' as a feature tag. The menu itself shows a Veggie Burger (veggie patty, cheese, sweet chilli jam) and a Veg Benny (poached eggs, hollandaise, no meat) but these aren't explicitly vegan — the Veggie Burger contains cheese. There is no dedicated vegan menu, no marked vegan dishes, and no detail on dairy-free alternatives. Staff may be able to accommodate when asked but the evidence is thin and comes from aggregator tags rather than verified menu markings.

The AGFG listing tags 'Vegetarian Options' and the ThreeBestRated listing says 'perfect for vegan and vegetarian options'. The menu has several vegetarian dishes — Veg Benny, Zucchini Fritters, Veggie Burger, Smashed Avo, various toasties — though not all are marked as vegetarian. No dedicated vegetarian menu section or separate prep is mentioned. Accommodation should be straightforward but the kitchen is shared.

No source specifically addresses nut allergy or nut-free options. The menu includes items with potential nuts (dukkah salad, granola, almond cake) but no marking or warnings. The AGFG listing does not tag nut-free. Accommodation would depend entirely on asking staff and is unverified.

No sources discuss dairy-free options in any detail. The menu is dairy-heavy (cheese, hollandaise, cream, ice cream, aioli, fetta etc) but no dishes are marked DF. The AGFG listing does not tag dairy-free options. Staff may attempt to accommodate if asked but the evidence is too thin to rate higher.
