BioCafe

The menu marks many dishes GF-a (gluten-free option available) and the waffle batter is made with gluten-free flour. One FindMeGlutenFree reviewer reported a dedicated fryer, and another called it 'one of my favourite dedicated gluten free places to eat'. However, the venue is not a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen — some items contain gluten (e.g. Lotus Biscoff waffle marked 'Gluten') — so cross-contamination is possible. Best for coeliacs who confirm protocols with staff.

Vegan

confidence 85% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The menu states 'the whole menu is vegan, except for the goat cheese salad and goat cheese waffle'. The venue is listed as a Vegan Restaurant on FindMeGlutenFree and the homepage describes it as 'Vegan friendly'. Most dishes are clearly plant-based, with tofu, jackfruit, and plant milks used throughout. A few items contain dairy (goat cheese, feta, regular cheese), but they are explicitly noted.

Vegetarian

confidence 90% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The entire menu is vegetarian — the only non-vegetarian items are absent entirely. The menu is built around plant-based proteins (tofu, jackfruit, falafel) and vegetables. Even the non-vegan items (goat cheese, feta, regular cheese) are vegetarian. A very safe choice for vegetarians.

Sugar-free

confidence 70% ·

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The desserts section states: 'These treats are free of refined sugar, we use reasonable amounts of sweeteners, like maple syrup, coconut blossom sugar, xylitol, dates, fruits…'. The homepage also says 'guilt free, sugar free desserts' and 'no refined sugar added'. A keto & diabetic friendly cake is available. This is a strong option for those avoiding refined sugar.

Strongly trusted, High-care setup. Either someone close to the kitchen (owner, chef, staff) needs to avoid this allergen themselves, OR the menu marks allergens AND dedicated equipment plus trained staff manage cross-contamination.

The entire menu is vegetarian/vegan, with no meat or fish at all. This makes it automatically suitable for pescatarians, though there are no fish or seafood dishes. Pescatarians will find plenty of plant-based options.

Nut-free

confidence 60% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu uses a code 'N' for 'nuts free granola', meaning some dishes are made with nut-free granola. However, many dishes contain nuts (hazelnuts, walnuts, peanuts, cashews, peanut butter) and the waffle section warns: 'If you are nut intolerant or have other allergies/intolerances, please speak to the server'. There is no dedicated nut-free kitchen. Nut-allergic diners should discuss their needs with staff.

Dairy-free

confidence 70% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu is largely vegan, so most dishes are dairy-free. A few items contain dairy (goat cheese salad, goat cheese waffle, feta, grated cheese, double cream, whipped cream). The FindMeGlutenFree listing marks the venue as 'Good for dairy-free'. Staff can advise on dairy-free options, but the kitchen is shared.

Soy-free

confidence 50% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu uses a code 'S' for 'Soya', marking several dishes as containing soya (e.g. Superfood Maca Bowl, Mushroom Sandwich, Scrambled Tofu Waffle). Tofu and tamari (soy sauce) are common ingredients. There is no dedicated soy-free setup. Soy-allergic diners should check with staff.

Keto

confidence 60% ·

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.

The menu uses a code 'K' for 'keto available' on the Keto Buddha Bowl and lists a 'Keto & diabetic friendly cake'. The venue is listed under 'Keto Friendly' categories on FindMeGlutenFree. However, the menu is not predominantly keto — most dishes are carb-heavy (waffles, porridge, sandwiches). Keto diners have a few clear options.

Low-FODMAP

confidence 40% ·

Best effort, No marked menu but staff will accommodate when asked. Quality varies by who's working that shift; safer to call ahead and confirm.

No specific low-FODMAP information is provided on the menu or in any source. The venue is listed under 'Low-FODMAP Friendly' categories on FindMeGlutenFree, but no details are given. Diners following a low-FODMAP diet should contact the venue directly to discuss suitable options.

Reminder

Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
