Happea's Mediterranean Grill

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

The venue was fully vegan from 2020 until adding meat options in April 2023. It now offers clearly marked vegan choices (bowls, pockets with vegan protein substitute, vegan dressings) alongside meat dishes. Management reports separate griddles and utensils for vegan proteins, but the kitchen is shared. Several HappyCow reviews confirm vegan options remain available and tasty, though multiple reviewers express disappointment at the loss of the fully vegan status.

Vegetarian options are readily available on the menu and can be customized. The kitchen serves meat, so shared equipment is the norm, but management maintains separate utensils for vegan/vegetarian proteins. No specific vegetarian-dedicated accreditation or kitchen exists.

Management states dairy is confined to coffee and dessert stations (milk, ice cream) and is absent from the main cooking and assembly line, with separate griddles and utensils for vegan proteins. However, a 2024 HappyCow reviewer reported that their wife with a severe dairy allergy became ill from a vegan bowl with no obvious dairy source. This conflicting signal—management's asserted segregation versus a documented reaction—places this at Tier D.

Not appropriate, Documented unsafe, multiple negative reports, or refuses to accommodate. Surfaced to warn rather than recommend.

The owner explicitly states on the venue's FindMeGlutenFree listing that they 'cannot accommodate celiacs and folks who cannot tolerate gluten cross-contact.' The listing also reports no gluten-free menu. Despite a handful of older celiac reviews reporting positive experiences, the owner's current and unambiguous safety warning overrides them, making this venue inappropriate for coeliac dining.
