Hibiscus Café

A blog review states that "everything is organic and gluten-free" and mentions gluten-free cones for vegan ice cream at the Toronto location. However, the kitchens are shared with no dedicated equipment described. The review is promotional rather than investigative. For the Chennai location, only negative reviews about wrong dishes exist, and no gluten-specific evidence is available. Cross-contamination risk is uncertain. Calling ahead and speaking to the chef before visiting is advised.

Hibiscus Café offers vegan cookies, squares, brownies, and house-made vegan ice cream made with coconut, almond, or mung bean milk, served in a cup or a gluten-free cone. The kitchen is shared, and no dedicated preparation area or cross-contact protocol is described. A report from the Chennai location noted chicken soup served instead of a vegetarian soup, indicating inconsistent ingredient control. Confirm details with each visit.

The Toronto blog describes the café as plant-based (gluten-free cookies, vegan ice cream, etc.) which suggests a vegetarian-friendly menu. The Chennai location on district.in has a review where a customer ordered a veg soup but received chicken soup, a serious mix-up. Vegetarian options likely exist but the kitchen may not reliably separate meat from vegetarian ingredients. Check with staff on each visit.

The Toronto blog mentions dairy-free ice cream made with coconut, almond, or mung bean milk, and notes that the venue serves organic gluten-free food. No dedicated equipment or cross-contact procedures are described. The Chennai location has no dairy-specific information from any source. Staff may be able to accommodate when asked, but shared kitchen risks are unknown.
