Per-allergen evidence
The Moth Cafe operates as a plant-based restaurant, and its core concept is vegan food. The venue's own website calls itself "plant-based" and emphasises whole-food, small-batch goods. Because the menu is almost entirely vegan by design and the kitchen runs on plant-based principles, cross-contamination with non-vegan items is structurally unlikely. No independent certification exists, but the kitchen's stated identity serves as a strong indicator that vegan options are reliable.
