Cafe Mosaics
The manager is coeliac, so staff are trained on cross-contamination and the kitchen is very aware of protocols. The menu marks gluten-free items, and a gluten-free bun or bean patty is available. However, there is no dedicated fryer, and the kitchen is shared with gluten-containing dishes. One review reports an incident where the kitchen tried to deep-fry a gluten-free order despite being told to pan-fry, though it was caught by a coeliac server. Call ahead to confirm current practices.

The menu clearly marks vegan items with a 🌱 icon, and many dishes are vegan or can be made vegan with substitutions (e.g., vegan hollandaise, vegan cheese, non-dairy milk). The venue's own website states '100% of the dishes can be made vegan' per a review. However, the kitchen is shared, and some vegan items contain nuts (e.g., cashew sour cream). Staff are reportedly knowledgeable.

Nut-free
confidence 50% ·
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 menu labels some items as 'Nut-Friendly' and notes that vegan sour cream contains nuts (cashew). Peanuts are used in some dishes. There is no dedicated nut-free kitchen or equipment, and the 'Nut-Friendly' label is ambiguous—it does not guarantee absence of nut cross-contact. Staff may be able to advise, but those with severe nut allergies should exercise caution.
