Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

Website and HappyCow listing claim vegan options (hot chocolate, milkshakes, ice creams, crepes, waffles), but multiple 2025 HappyCow reviews report no vegan bases available and only fruit fondue or fruit bowl. Staff inconsistency; one reviewer was told vegan pancake mix then denied. Vegan toppings and ice cream exist but no vegan bases for waffles/crepes.
