HappyCow lists Kindred as a fully vegan restaurant (category 'Vegan'). The venue's own website and all 225+ HappyCow reviews confirm the entire menu is plant-based. No animal products are used in any dish, making it structurally impossible for non-vegan ingredients to appear.
Offers a dedicated gluten-free menu page with items such as baked corn tortilla tacos and quesadillas, and baked chips prepared separately. However, the venue warns that all deep-fried foods (regular chips, fries, wings, cilantro rice) share a fryer, posing cross-contamination risk. Staff advise clarifying allergy severity upon ordering. A Yelp reviewer describes a dedicated gluten-free space in the kitchen.
The venue's official menu and a blog post on their own site state that gluten-free pizza is available, and the menu banner says 'Now offering gluten-free & vegan pizzas'. However, the menu does not mark individual dishes with GF codes or symbols, and there is no mention of a dedicated fryer, dedicated prep area, or staff training for coeliac safety. The blog post discusses cross-contamination prevention in general terms but does not confirm that the venue follows those practices. No accreditation or independent coeliac review is cited. The venue is a standard pizzeria serving both regular and gluten-free crusts, so shared kitchen equipment is the default assumption.
A dedicated 'VEGAN MENU' section is marked on the official menu with four pasta and risotto dishes. No information is provided about a dedicated prep area or separate kitchen, indicating shared facilities with potential cross-contamination.
Two clearly labeled vegan ramen options (charred kimchi ramen and vegetable ramen) are available; diners must specify vegan noodles and broth to ensure no non-veg ingredients. The shared kitchen serves meat, so cross-contamination is possible. Reviews confirm items are labeled and staff accommodates requests.
The venue's own site mentions gluten-free accommodation as available for group events, and a dedicated gluten-free listing (Atly) reports two positive celiac-diner experiences (gluten-free penne with vodka cream sauce). The venue is not accredited and no dedicated kitchen, fryer, or marked menu has been confirmed. Cross-contamination risk remains unaddressed, so the tier is Available on request.
Offers gluten-free crust option (noted on official menu for BBQ pizza and Build Your Own section; +$6). Two independent community sources (Atly, GlutenFreeda) mention GF availability, but none describe dedicated equipment, staff training, or cross-contamination protocols. No accreditation.
Gluten-free pasta and gnocchi available; menu does not mark GF options. Atly community rates as celiac friendly with low cross-contamination risk and trained staff, but no dedicated kitchen or fryer is documented. Staff can accommodate on request.
