Sano Pecado
A small dedicated gluten‑free bakery; every item on the menu is explicitly gluten‑free. Multiple community reviews call it a dedicated gluten‑free facility. However, the venue has not obtained independent accreditation from a recognised coeliac body (e.g. Coeliac Australia, Coeliac UK), and the venue's own menu mentions gluten‑free items without describing cross‑contact protocols. Oats used in some items (apple crumble) could be a risk dependent on sourcing, and staff knowledge on non‑gluten allergens is described as basic.

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.

Honest caveat: Menu mentions oats (apple crumble), which are not reliably gluten‑free unless labelled as such; coeliac diners should confirm oat sourcing with staff.

Dairy-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.
Menu items are described as 'free of gluten and dairy' and the community review says the bakery is 'dedicated gluten and dairy free'. A cheesecake item is explicitly noted as containing no dairy. Although the signal is strong and the venue claims everything is dairy‑free, the kitchen practice description is limited and there is no third‑party accreditation or detailed cross‑contact assurance beyond the menu text.
Honest caveat: No documented incident, but the dairy‑free claim relies on the venue's own menu and one review; no dedicated dairy‑free kitchen verification or certification known.

Sugar-free

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 explicitly lists a 'Sugar Free' section (flan, keto dulce) sweetened with monkfruit and erythritol. A community review also says the bakery has a 'sugar free section'. This indicates dedicated sugar‑free options, but no details on cross‑contact with sugar‑containing items or dedicated equipment are provided. Diners with strict sugar intolerance should confirm with staff.
Honest caveat: No documented incident, but no dedicated sugar‑free kitchen or preparation area noted.

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 venue markets itself as a bakery that is gluten‑ and dairy‑free, and a community review says it's 'dedicated gluten and dairy free', which could cover many vegan requirements. However, a third‑party guide says the menu is 'poorly marked' for vegan options and that staff have only a 'basic understanding' of vegan needs. Eggs are used in Decoración Básica and Cupcakes, so not everything is vegan. Vegan diners should check with staff before ordering.
Honest caveat: Menu poorly marked; staff knowledge rated as basic for vegan queries.

Nut-free

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 menu explicitly uses almond flour and coconut milk in several items (keto dulce, cheesecake base, flan). These are tree nuts and coconut (which some nut‑allergic individuals avoid). The venue asks customers to contact them regarding allergies other than gluten, dairy and egg. There is no separate nut‑free kitchen; cross‑contact risk is present. Nut‑allergic diners should call ahead.
Honest caveat: Almond flour is a core ingredient in multiple menu items; no nut‑free preparation area or equipment is noted.
Egg-free

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 venue's menu states that their Decoración Básica and Cupcakes contain egg. Customers with other allergies are asked to contact the venue. There is no dedicated egg‑free kitchen or menu, and eggs are a standard ingredient. Diners with egg allergy should contact the venue ahead and request egg‑free options.

Limited information, Thin positive signal only: a stray menu callout, a single passing review mention, or generic dietary marketing without specifics. Not enough to assess kitchen practice. Call ahead and confirm before relying on it.
Limited information: we researched Sano Pecado across 10 sources but found nothing specific about its Vegetarian options or how the kitchen manages cross-contamination. Treat this as a starting point and call ahead to confirm before relying on it.
