Per-allergen evidence

Vegetarian

A+
confidence 85%
Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

The cafe is fully vegan, which automatically makes it fully vegetarian. Since no animal products (meat, fish, dairy, eggs) are used in the kitchen, it is structurally impossible for the kitchen to serve non-vegetarian items. This places it in the highest tier for vegetarian: a 100% dedicated kitchen by nature of the cuisine.

Dairy-free

A+
confidence 85%
Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

The cafe is fully vegan, so no dairy ingredients are used. Its cheesecakes carry an explicit '100% vegan' label, and its cheese sauces are cashew-based. The kitchen is structurally dairy-free by cuisine. No dairy ingredients appear on the menu. This setup qualifies as a 100% dedicated dairy-free kitchen, meeting the criteria for A+ for dairy.

Egg-free

A+
confidence 85%
Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

Being fully vegan, the cafe structurally eliminates eggs from the menu. No egg-containing ingredients appear in any menu descriptions. The kitchen is dedicated egg-free by design and cuisine, meeting the A+ criteria for a 100% dedicated kitchen.

Shellfish-free

A+
confidence 85%
Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

The cafe is fully vegan and gluten-free. No shellfish or seafood of any kind appears on the menu and the kitchen is structurally dedicated to plant-based food. Shellfish is not on the premises, meeting the A+ criteria for a 100% dedicated kitchen.

Pescatarian

A+
confidence 85%
Verifiably safe ·what tier A+ means

The cafe is fully vegan. It contains no meat, fish, or seafood. This structure meets the needs of a pescatarian diet, which is plant-based and optionally includes fish. Since no fish or shellfish are used, the kitchen is dedicated pescatarian-safe by design.

Coeliac · Gluten-free

A
confidence 85%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Tiny Moreso bills itself as a fully gluten-free and vegan cafe. The menu explicitly labels every item as GF (gluten-free) and the ordering page header states 'Gluten-free and vegan cafe.' A third-party real estate blog also describes it as 'fully vegan and gluten-free.' This strong positive signal points to a kitchen that does not use gluten-containing ingredients, effectively a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. However, no current third-party accreditation from Coeliac UK, Coeliac Society of Ireland, or Coeliac Australia was found, and no source describes staff training or dedicated equipment protocols. The evidence supports a highly reliable gluten-free offering, but falls short of the verified accreditation needed for A+.

Vegan

A
confidence 85%
Strongly trusted ·what tier A means

Tiny Moreso is explicitly described as a 'fully vegan and gluten-free' cafe. The online ordering menu header states 'Gluten-free and vegan cafe' and individual dishes carry V symbols. Items like Moreso Mac, Broccoli Mac, and all cheesecakes are described as '100% vegan.' A separate real estate blog confirms the cafe is fully vegan. This suggests a kitchen designed entirely around plant-based ingredients, with no animal products used. No third-party Vegan Society Trademark or similar accreditation was found, and sources don't detail separate prep or cross-contamination controls for vegan items in a broader context, but the venue's own identity as a vegan kitchen supports a strong trust classification.

Nut-free

C
confidence 50%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The menu heavily features tree nuts: cashews appear in the cheese sauce for Moreso Mac and Broccoli Mac, and items list 'almond butter' and 'tamari cashews.' The real estate blog mentions 'additional options that avoid nuts,' implying nut-free choices exist but are a subset, not the norm. No source describes dedicated equipment, separate prep areas, or kitchen protocols for preventing nut cross-contact. A nut-allergic diner should call ahead to confirm which items can be safely prepared nut-free and whether the kitchen has any dedicated nut-free procedures.

Soy-free

C
confidence 40%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The real estate blog mentions 'additional options that avoid nuts, soy, and refined sugar,' indicating that some dishes can be prepared soy-free. However, the menu itself lists BBQ soy curls as an ingredient in Moreso Mac, confirming soy is present in standard preparations. No source describes dedicated fryers, separate prep, or kitchen protocols for soy avoidance. Soy-allergic diners should call ahead to confirm which menu items can be made soy-free and whether the kitchen can reliably prevent cross-contamination.

advance notice required

Sugar-free

C
confidence 40%
Best effort ·what tier C means

The real estate blog mentions "additional options that avoid ... refined sugar," which implies that some menu items can be made without refined sugar. The ordering page describes desserts as offering "plant-based treats without excess sweetness," but does not label individual items as sugar-free or refined-sugar-free. No source describes kitchen protocols for avoiding sugar cross-contamination or substitution practices. Diners avoiding refined sugar should call ahead to clarify which items are suitable.

advance notice required

Keto

E
confidence 30%
Limited information ·what tier E means

No source mentions keto-friendly options or low-carb preparations. The menu features pasta dishes (quinoa rice pasta and rice pasta), cheesecakes, and toasts on seed bread, which are generally not keto-compatible. The real estate blog describes the menu as focused on 'whole ingredients and simple preparation that supports steady energy,' but does not reference keto. Without any positive signal, this venue is not recommended for a keto diet without a direct inquiry to the kitchen.

advance notice required

Halal

E
confidence 20%
Limited information ·what tier E means

No source mentions halal certification or halal dietary practices. The venue is fully vegan, which would generally be compatible with halal requirements (no pork, alcohol-free), but without any explicit halal claims, certification, or kitchen protocol documentation, this cannot be recommended for halal observance without direct confirmation from the venue.

advance notice required

Kosher

E
confidence 20%
Limited information ·what tier E means

No source mentions kosher certification or kosher dietary practices. While a fully vegan kitchen avoids many kosher complications (meat/dairy separation), there is no supervision, no mention of kosher ingredients, and no certification from any recognised kosher authority (e.g., OK, OU, London Beth Din, etc.). Kosher-observant diners should not rely on this venue without direct consultation.

advance notice required

Low-FODMAP

E
confidence 20%
Limited information ·what tier E means

Sources do not mention low-FODMAP diets. The menu includes cashew-based sauces, garlic, onion, and soy curls, all potential high-FODMAP ingredients. No low-FODMAP claims or accommodations are described. This classification is a signal that the venue has not been assessed for low-FODMAP suitability.

advance notice required
