Several dishes are marked (vg) on the menu, including Granola Bowl, Porridge, Vegan Breakfast, and a range of smoothies. The menu also notes that vegan sausages are available as an add-on. The kitchen is shared, so cross-contamination is possible, but the clear labelling makes it easy to identify options. Ask staff about dedicated utensils for vegan prep.

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.

The breakfast menu lists a 'Healthy Breakfast' marked (gf) and a 'Gluten Free Breakfast' served on gluten-free bread, plus a separate gluten-free bread add-on. However, the kitchen is shared and the menu states 'We cannot guarantee our menus are allergen free.' No dedicated fryer or separate prep area is mentioned. Best to call ahead and confirm cross-contamination protocols with staff.

A few items explicitly include nuts (e.g., Granola Bowl with 'walnuts', Pretty Pancakes with 'almond flakes' and 'Nutella', Box of Sweets with 'Nutella').
