Vegan

Lela's Eatery offers a few vegan options, including an explicitly named 'VEGAN BREAKFAST' dish (scrambled tofu) on the menu. HappyCow categorises it as 'Veg-options (Lacto/Ovo)' and notes 'vegan options available'. However, the kitchen also serves meat and dairy (eggs, cheese, bacon, chicken). Multiple vegan diners have reported that labelled vegan items may contain dairy — a reviewer noted the homemade coconut yogurt uses a dairy milk starter (not vegan), another found butter on avocado toast, and a third reported creamy non-vegan dressing on the side salad. Staff knowledge is praised by some but contradicted by others. There is no dedicated vegan prep area or fryer.

Honest caveat: Multiple diners reported that labelled vegan dishes may contain dairy (buttered toast, non-vegan salad dressing, coconut yogurt with dairy starter), indicating inconsistent kitchen practices.

Vegetarian

confidence 50%

Lela's Eatery is listed on HappyCow as "Veg-options" (Lacto/Ovo). Its brunch menu includes eggs, cheese, salads, and vegetable-based dishes. The restaurant also serves meat: beef burger, chicken wings, pork chorizo, and Canadian bacon. There is no dedicated vegetarian prep area. Menu items are not systematically marked for vegetarian suitability. Staff training for vegetarian needs is not documented. Confidence in vegetarian handling is limited because no structural vegetarian safety measures are in place.
