Wildsprout - Sea Point
The café menu is almost entirely gluten-free and items are marked GF on the menu. However, this is not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen—it also handles breads, wraps, and baked goods that may contain gluten in the same facility. Several GF items (like bread for French toast) are noted as made in a facility with gluten, so cross-contamination is possible. Coeliac diners report mixed experiences: one symptomatic coeliac had no reaction, while a wheat-allergy diner reacted after a GF meal. Staff are aware of gluten-free protocols but the shared kitchen means risk is present. Ask the kitchen about current prep procedures before ordering.

Reliable, Allergen-marked menu with aware staff, served from a shared kitchen. Cross-contamination risk is acknowledged but the venue has clear options.
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.

However, no menu markings or dedicated preparation space for sugar-free dishes are noted.
