The venue is described as an 'almost fully vegan cafe' by multiple HappyCow reviewers and the owner is a vegetarian 'very close to vegan' who personally avoids animal products. The menu is predominantly vegan with only 1-2 vegetarian exceptions (quiche, grilled cheese). All plant-based milks are used. The owner's personal dietary needs drive the kitchen practice.

HappyCow describes an extensive, clearly marked vegetarian section with 'quite a few vegan options' and a separate vegan menu. However multiple reviews warn that the vegan menu is not fully vegan (items may contain dairy or egg) and that staff knowledge varies. Diners must explicitly request vegan versions and verify ingredients. Shared kitchen, no dedicated equipment.

Honest caveat, Vegan menu may contain dairy or egg; diners must verify each dish with staff.

Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu. Staff are generally knowledgeable about veganism. However, a documented incident of a lamb bone found in a supposed vegan dish, which the owner acknowledged as a trainee error, indicates a cross-contamination risk. The kitchen is shared and not dedicated to vegan preparation.

Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu (English & Turkish), with substantial variety. However, multiple independent reviews report serious issues: being served meat dumplings instead of vegan, and non-vegan yogurt being served. Staff inconsistency noted by Spinach and HappyCow reviewers. Shared kitchen with meat and dairy. Vegan yogurt must be specifically requested.

Honest caveat, Multiple reports of being served meat instead of vegan dumplings and non-vegan yogurt; staff inconsistency on ingredients.
