100% vegan restaurant, therefore all dishes are also vegetarian. Multiple sources confirm the entirely plant-based menu.

Kosher

confidence 0.60 ·

Marked menu + dedicated, Allergen-marked menu plus dedicated fryer / prep area. Staff trained. Not a fully dedicated kitchen.

HappyCow listing states 'Certified kosher' in the description. No further details on the certifying body or kitchen practices are available from the provided sources.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

confidence 0.65 ·

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

Multiple sources mention gluten-free options and accommodating staff, but a HappyCow reviewer explicitly states 'not very Celiac friendly' and the Atly listing notes 'some risk of cross-contamination'. The venue's own website does not mention a dedicated gluten-free kitchen or fryer. The Meet Boston guide says 'many items can be prepared gluten-free' which suggests modification rather than a dedicated setup.
