The restaurant's name and brand are built around vegan cuisine. The official menu labels dishes as VG (vegan) and V (vegetarian). Multiple vegan items are listed, and the cuisine is traditionally plant-based Ethiopian. The venue appears to cater primarily to vegans and vegetarians.

Honest caveat, Some traditional Ethiopian dishes like Awaze Tibs use seitan (wheat gluten), but these are clearly described on the menu.

No mention of dedicated prep areas or equipment, and the kitchen handles meat and cheese.

The official menu labels several items explicitly as (Vegan). A whole 'Yeah Vegan' section includes dishes like the vegan fritter burger, guacamole, yellow rice & beans, and chocolate pudding. The kitchen is shared with meat and egg items, and there is no mention of dedicated prep areas or fryers. The chain is meat-forward with rotisserie chicken and catfish, so cross-contact risk should be discussed with staff.

Multiple sources describe the venue as a worker-owned vegetarian cafe since 1992, with most items also being vegan. HappyCow lists the venue under Vegan-friendly and Lacto/Ovo categories. A separate directory review notes the vegan biscuits and gravy are a favourite, and mentions a seitan Philly sub with vegan cheese. However, one reviewer recounts eating a non-vegan coffee cake by mistake, indicating not all pastries are labelled clearly and the kitchen does not appear to guarantee 100% vegan preparation. Shared-equipment risk for strict vegan diners who avoid trace cross-contact.

Honest caveat, One reviewer ate a non-vegan coffee cake by mistake, reporting ambiguous labelling on pastries.

The event/banquet menu clearly marks items as VG (vegan), including Overnight Chocolate Chia Pudding and Scrambled JUST Eggs. The regular Tullibee menu lists a Vegan Breakfast Sausage and non-dairy milk options. No dedicated kitchen or fryer is mentioned, so cross-contact with animal products is possible. Best for vegan guests who are flexible about shared preparation.
