Per-allergen evidence

Pescatarian

A+
confidence 90%
Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

The restaurant operates as a 100% plant-based vegan kitchen. Because the entire menu contains no meat and no fish, it is inherently suitable for pescatarians.

Egg-free

A+
confidence 80%
Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

Cafe Vida's own website states it is a 100% plant-based vegan kitchen, which means no eggs are used in any dishes. The egg-free status is structurally guaranteed by the kitchen's plant-based policy.

Vegan

A
confidence 70%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

The venue describes itself on its own website as a 100% plant-based vegan kitchen. Multiple HappyCow reviews confirm strong vegan options, though several reviews also report that cow's milk is available on request, a detail that contradicts the strictly vegan claim. Staff appear to offer dairy alternatives as standard but will accommodate cow's milk if asked. Dedicated vegan diners should confirm the kitchen's strictness upon arrival.

Honest caveat: Multiple user reviews report that cow's milk is available on request, presenting a cross-contamination risk for strict vegans.

Dairy-free

A
confidence 70%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

The venue is described as a 100% plant-based vegan kitchen, so its standard dishes contain no dairy. Reviews consistently report, however, that cow's milk is available on request, meaning the kitchen has dairy on the premises and may use it unless a diner specifies otherwise. Dairy-free diners are well accommodated as long as they ask for plant-based milk.

Honest caveat: Cow's milk is kept on site and offered on request, so cross-contamination is possible if the same equipment is used.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

E
confidence 50%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue description mentions that some dishes are gluten-free (except pizza) and that gluten-free options exist for sandwiches. However, there is no information about kitchen practices, cross-contamination management, or a marked menu. Call ahead to discuss your needs with staff.

Honest caveat: No dedicated gluten-free procedures are documented; the shared kitchen likely handles wheat-based pizza bases.

Soy-free

Limited information ·what tier E means

Nut-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Some menu items identified in reviews contain nuts, including a smoothie made with cashew nuts and an Inca bowl served with peanut-butter sauce. No information is available about whether the kitchen can prepare nut-free versions of these dishes or about cross-contact procedures. Call ahead.

Shellfish-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue describes itself as a 100% plant-based vegan kitchen. Shellfish is an animal product and would not be part of the standard menu. Sources note, however, that the kitchen keeps cow's milk on hand despite the vegan claim, which means there is a small possibility other animal products could be brought in. No sources explicitly address shellfish. Call ahead to confirm.

Halal

E
confidence 20%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue is described as a 100% plant-based vegan kitchen, so no meat is served and no alcohol is mentioned. This suggests it may be compatible with halal dietary requirements. However, no sources explicitly address halal certification or practices. Call ahead to confirm.

Kosher

E
confidence 20%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue is a 100% plant-based vegan kitchen, which avoids many kosher concerns (meat/dairy mixing). However, no sources mention kosher certification, supervision, or practices such as checking for insect-free produce. Call ahead.

Low-FODMAP

E
confidence 20%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue's own website describes the menu as 'ideal for those managing specific health conditions,' but offers no details about low-FODMAP ingredients or preparation methods. No source mentions FODMAPs. Calling ahead is recommended to discuss dietary needs.

Keto

E
confidence 20%
Limited information ·what tier E means

No sources discuss keto-friendliness. The menu includes high-carb items such as quinoa, corn, and banana-based desserts. The venue's own site mentions 'specific health conditions' in general terms, but not keto. Calling ahead is recommended.

Sugar-free

D
confidence 50%
Not recommended ·what tier D means

Reviews mention items such as a peanut-banana-soy-milk smoothie, an ice cream bar made with frozen bananas, and cookies. These likely contain added or natural sugars. The venue's own website mentions 'natural' and 'lighter' options but does not advertise sugar-free or low-sugar preparation. No evidence that sugar-free requests can be accommodated; given the menu items listed, substantial sources of sugar are present. Not recommended without prior confirmation.

Reminder

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