confidence 85% ·

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 café is 100% vegan, with all dishes, bakes, and gelato made from plant-based ingredients. The official menu marks every item with a 'Vegan' icon, and the homepage states '100% vegan creations' and 'dairy free, egg free, animal free'. The kitchen is fully vegan by design, so cross-contamination with animal products is not a concern.
