The Moth Cafe is a plant-based restaurant whose core concept is vegan food. The venue's own website describes itself as 'plant-based' and focuses on whole-food, small-batch goods.

The bakery explicitly states it 'specialize[s] in delicious vegan options' and is kosher pareve, which excludes dairy and meat. This indicates vegan-friendly offerings, though staff training and dedicated equipment are not described.
Honest caveat, The venue uses the phrase 'Gluten-Friendly' rather than 'Gluten-Free', which may mean cross-contamination risk for coeliacs is not fully managed.
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).

The venue's own menu explicitly marks many dishes as 'Vegan' (e. g., Rajma, Matar Tofu, Dal Tadka, Mix Veg, Bhindi Masala, etc.), and the site claims 'Pure Vegetarian and Vegan' orientation. However, the same kitchen also prepares dairy-based dishes (paneer, butter, cream, yogurt, lassi, ice cream), gluten-containing items, and possibly eggs; no allergen cross-contact mitigation is described.
