Per-allergen evidence
The menu is heavily vegetarian-friendly: multiple bowls, salads, pastries, and brunch dishes without meat. The GuiaPana listing explicitly marks 'opciones vegetarianas' as a dietary tag. The kitchen is shared, but for vegetarian (not vegan) the cross-contact risk from meat is low — ordering the burrata, falafel bowl, or any of the viennoiserie should be straightforward. Still, confirm with staff if strict ovo-lacto vegetarian.
The venue lists several clearly labelled vegan dishes, including a Vegan Reuben Sandwich and Vegan Bolognese Tagliatelle, and also offers a range of smoothies that appear plant-based, using almond or coconut milk. The GuiaPana listing tags the venue as having 'opciones veganas'. However, the kitchen is shared and the menu has no systematic allergen code nor a dedicated vegan section, so a determined vegan diner should confirm with staff before ordering.
The menu contains several dairy-heavy items (cheeses, burrata, croissants with cheese, cheesecakes, cream-based sauces) but there are some accidentally dairy-free options such as the Vegan Reuben Sandwich and some smoothies made with almond or coconut milk. The venue labels a few items as 'vegan' which implies no dairy, and the GuiaPana listing notes 'opciones veganas'. However, there is no dedicated dairy-free prep area, and most of the viennoiserie and desserts contain butter, cream, or cheese. Dairy-intolerant diners should choose carefully from the clearly vegan-labelled dishes and confirm with staff.
Nut-containing ingredients appear throughout the menu: praline de pecanas, praline de pistachio, almond butter, almond milk, hazelnut (avellanas), and pecan toppings are listed on multiple dishes and desserts. The kitchen is a boutique bakery producing nut-enriched pastries and pralines, so trace cross-contact is very likely. A diner with a nut allergy would need to call ahead and discuss each dish with the chef. The venue does not provide a nut-free menu or allergen matrix.
The menu labels two cookie items as 'gluten free', Coco-guayaba and Loaf Cake de Banana, and the listing says the venue offers 'sin gluten' options. However, the kitchen is a shared bakery producing croissants, pain au chocolat, and other wheat-rich pastries. No dedicated equipment or separate prep area is mentioned. A call ahead is advised to ask whether the gluten-free items are made in a shared fryer or oven and whether staff can confidently manage cross-contamination.
One menu item, Loaf Cake De Banana, is labelled 'sugar free' in addition to 'gluten free'. The venue also offers cold-pressed juices with no added sugar. However, this is a bakery-café centred on sweet pastries, cakes, and desserts where most items contain significant sugar. No sugar-free menu or systematic marking exists. A sugar-intolerant diner should call ahead to discuss which items can truly be made or served free of added sugar.
The GuiaPana listing tags the venue as "keto friendly." The menu includes several protein-rich bowls and salads that could be adapted, for instance, the Green Bowl, Salmon Bowl, or Mexican Bowl with rice removed. One cookie is labelled "sugar free," which may suit keto. However, there is no dedicated keto menu or macro information available, and the kitchen is a pastry-focused bakery. A keto diner should call ahead to discuss modifications.
Always confirm with venue staff before ordering. Tiers and accreditations are guides, not guarantees.
