The venue explicitly advertises vegan options, and the café menu includes plant-based items such as bowls, salads, and smoothies. The grocery section stocks plant-based dairy alternatives. The menu itself does not appear to systematically mark items as vegan, but diner reports confirm vegan dishes are available from a shared kitchen. Staff can accommodate when asked. A HappyCow list of top vegan restaurants in Cape Town does not mention Wildsprout, suggesting it is not a dedicated vegan destination. Vegan diners should confirm specific dishes are fully plant-based at ordering.
