ZEITGEIST café operates as a 100% vegan coffee shop and brunch spot, with all products prepared without any animal-derived ingredients, a commitment the venue states clearly on its own homepage. Multiple reliable off-site sources also describe it as fully plant-based, with four plant milks available. Because no non-vegan items enter the kitchen, cross-contamination with animal products is structurally impossible.

The restaurant runs a 100% plant-based kitchen, with all dishes described as 100% vegan and prepared from fresh ingredients on-site. Cross-contamination from animal products is structurally impossible, given that none are used. The menu is fully vegan as stated on the official site. No independent vegan certification is noted.

Honest caveat, No independent vegan certification is noted; the 100% vegan claim is the venue's own statement.

Bloom Sushi Lyon's official website states that all sushi is 100% plant-based (100% végétaux), explicitly excluding fish, shellfish, eggs, cream, and milk. This ingredient-level claim means every dish is vegan as prepared, though the website makes no mention of dedicated equipment or cross-contamination controls.

Cueillette

4 Rue Pierre Corneille · Vegetarian · Brunch
VeganA
GF·CoeliacE
VegA

Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu, staff are described as knowledgeable, and multiple sources confirm the venue has 'many vegan and gluten-free options' and offers a vegan option across dishes. The kitchen is shared with vegetarian dishes containing dairy/eggs, so cross-contact risk exists for strict vegans. It's a high-care setup rather than a dedicated vegan kitchen.

Honest caveat, Shared kitchen with dairy/egg dishes means trace cross-contact is possible; vegan labelling is on the menu but no dedicated equipment is mentioned.

5 Rue Duhamel · Vegan · Vegetarian · €⁠€

DairyE

Every dish on the menu is stated to be vegan by the venue itself, with the menu header reading 'All our dishes are vegan, organic and homemade' in both French and English. Some listed items include yoghurt sauce, fêta rôtie, and yaourt, which directly contradict the claim. An external directory confirms the venue is vegan. The kitchen does not appear to be dedicated vegan, and no cross-contact precautions are mentioned. Calling ahead to verify the vegan status of specific dishes is advisable.

Honest caveat, The venue's menu claims all dishes are vegan, yet items such as samoussa (yoghurt sauce), large salad (roasted feta), and macrobiotic platter (yoghurt) list dairy ingredients — a clear contradiction that diners should clarify directly with staff.

The restaurant switched to a fully vegan menu in October 2024, and its website describes it as 100% vegan. Several reviewers note that staff accommodate vegan requests and will adjust dishes when informed ahead of time. Two drinks on the menu, honey iced tea and Baileys, are not vegan.

This restaurant has a 100% plant-based kitchen (all dishes are vegan), making it inherently safe for vegan diners. The menu is set and entirely vegan. No dedicated vegan accreditation was found, but the kitchen's entire output is vegan.

Honest caveat, No accreditation or explicit cross-contamination protocols are documented; the kitchen is fully plant-based so no animal products are present.

GF·CoeliacC
VegE

Most food is vegan, and staff consistently say everything is vegan, but the venue description and some reviews note that drinks and desserts may contain dairy or honey. There is no certified vegan accreditation, and the kitchen setup (shared equipment, frying vats) is not described. Ask about specific dishes, especially desserts and drinks, each time you visit.

Honest caveat, Multiple reviews and the venue description on HappyCow note that desserts and drinks may contain dairy or honey and are not always vegan.

95 Cr Charlemagne · Vegan · Vegetarian
VeganB
GF·CoeliacE
VegB

The menu is fully plant-based (100% vegan concept), though the operation runs as a ghost kitchen that may share space with non-vegan businesses, making cross-contamination possible. Menu items are described as plant-based and include vegan cheese and meat alternatives. An external allergen spreadsheet is linked but not directly accessible on the ordering page. Those with strict vegan requirements should confirm cross-contact practices with the venue.

The menu clearly marks dishes as VG (vegan) with a dedicated icon, including items like hommos, baba ghanoush, and falafel. The kitchen is shared, and no specific cross-contact mitigation for vegan vs. non-vegan is described. Reliable for selecting marked dishes, but ethical vegans should confirm no shared cooking surfaces if that is a concern.

Honest caveat, No documented cross-contamination controls for vegan preparation; the venue is not accredited by the Vegan Society.

The official menu marks vegan dishes with '(Vegan)', and several starters, mains, and desserts carry that label. Fresh, seasonal ingredients are used and many dishes are made from scratch. Staff are reportedly accommodating when advised in advance. The kitchen is shared with non-vegan items, so cross-contact is possible, but the venue shows clear intent to cater to vegans.

The menu marks vegan options with a '(vegan)' tag and vegetarian items with '(végétarien)'. Several dishes can be made vegan on request (e.g., toasties, shakshouka via substitution). Plant-based milks (oat, coconut, house-made almond) are available. However, vegan items are prepared in a shared kitchen without dedicated equipment, and a user review warns that vegan breakfast items are not always available. Staff are described as friendly and happy to accommodate requests.

Honest caveat, Some users report that vegan options, especially breakfast items, may not always be available.

The menu offers 3–5 vegan choices that are clearly labeled. Arepas with black beans and plantain appear as one example. Staff members are bilingual and readily assist with vegan selections. A shared kitchen means cross-contamination with animal products is possible. The venue is accommodating in its approach.

VeganB
GF·CoeliacE
VegB

The menu is 100% plant-based by the venue's own description, meaning all dishes are entirely of vegetable origin and contain no animal products. This is a self-reported claim on the venue's homepage, with no independent verification or accreditation. Shared kitchen equipment is possible but unmentioned. Cross-contamination with animal products is structurally impossible given the 100% plant-based claim, though the lack of third-party certification or detailed kitchen practice notes limits confidence.

Honest caveat, Single self-reported source; no independent audit of the kitchen setup.
