Multiple reviewers confirm the cakes, tarts, and other offerings are vegan. However, the venue also serves cow's milk for coffee (several HappyCow reviews note this), so while the baked goods are vegan, the café as a whole is not entirely vegan because of the dairy milk option. Staff are described as helpful and accommodating about dietary needs.

The Celice travel blogger recommends the venue as a "dedicated GF café" with vegan cakes and alternative milks.fetched Jun 9, 2026The venue's website states that all sweets use exclusively gluten-free ingredients. Several independent aggregators and a celiac travel blogger describe it as a dedicated gluten-free café. Community reviews on FindMeGlutenFree, however, reveal that the granola is not gluten-free, gluten-containing oat milk is used, and some cakes contain gluten-free oats, which some coeliacs avoid. Staff will thoroughly clean the frother if told about coeliac disease, and one reviewer noted being asked whether they could eat gluten on arrival. While the kitchen appears to be gluten-free for most items, a small number of non-GF ingredients are present, so it is not 100% dedicated in the strictest sense.

Multiple user reviews confirm this (e.g. 'ohne raffinierten Zucker' and 'without refined sugar'). The venue offers raw cakes which use natural sweeteners like dates. However, the source does not specify whether any sugar-containing items are on site (e.g. for coffee), and refined-sugar-free does not guarantee sugar-free for some definitions, but the structural claim is strong.

However, the venue serves cow's milk for coffee, which introduces dairy into the café. Some reviewers noted uncertainty about receiving correct dairy-free drinks. The kitchen and equipment (e.g. the milk frother) may be shared between dairy and plant milks unless staff are specifically told. No dedicated dairy-free kitchen or dairy-free menu marking is confirmed beyond the fact the cakes are vegan.

Raw cakes were without refined sugar.fetched Jun 9, 2026Because every item in the café is vegan, the food contains no eggs. That conclusion is a logical inference from the vegan claim, as the establishment does not explicitly discuss egg-free handling, cross-contact, or the possibility of non-vegan items containing eggs. No dedicated egg-free practices are described.
