Per-allergen evidence

Coeliac · Gluten-free

C
confidence 55%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The cafe uses spelt flour as a standard base for most baked goods. It states that gluten-free cakes are made from rice, corn, and potato flour. Multiple review aggregators flag the venue as 'not celiac safe' due to likely cross-contact risk from shared baking practices. Staff will accommodate if asked, but no dedicated kitchen, fryer, or formal cross-contact procedures are in place. The menu is not consistently marked, and spelt flour is present on the premises. This makes the cafe suitable for gluten-sensitive diners but risky for those with coeliac disease.

Honest caveat: Multiple independent review aggregators warn 'this place is not celiac safe', indicating cross-contact cannot be ruled out.

Sugar-free

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

The venue's website displays 'Low Sugar' badges on certain items, suggesting some dishes are reduced in sugar, though no details on thresholds, dedicated preparation areas, or fully sugar-free options are provided. Calling ahead to confirm is advised.
