Per-allergen evidence
The café describes itself as a vegetarian venue, with a menu built around plant-based ingredients. The HappyCow listing tags it as 'Vegetarian,' and the venue's own site says 'delicious vegetarian food.' As of December 2024, however, the kitchen has added dairy to some items, so the café is no longer fully vegan. Plenty of options exist for vegetarian diners; for those avoiding dairy, confirmation with staff is recommended.
