Lela's Eatery

confidence 0.60 ·

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

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.

HappyCow lists Lela's Eatery as 'Veg-options' (Lacto/Ovo) with a brunch menu featuring eggs, cheese, salads, and vegetable-based dishes. The venue explicitly serves meat (beef burger, chicken wings, pork chorizo, Canadian bacon). There is no dedicated vegetarian prep area, no systematic menu marking for vegetarian items, and no documented staff training for vegetarian needs. Confidence is capped by the absence of any structural vegetarian safety measures.
