From public reviews · summarised, not verified

What reviewers say about the free-from experience

  • mostly-vegan menu
  • vegan desserts and cakes
  • non-vegan/dairy items marked
  • menu labelling clarity
  • staff answering food questions

Reviewers repeatedly describe this as a mostly-vegan cafe, with many noting the menu is almost entirely plant-based alongside a few clearly-flagged non-vegan or dairy items. Vegan quiche, cakes and the basque cheesecake come up often as standouts, and several mention staff being friendly and able to answer questions about the food. One reviewer flagged confusion over the menu's 'NV = Non Vegan' labelling not appearing next to the relevant dishes, and had to check with staff whether a mozzarella item was vegan.

Summarised from 29 allergen-related public reviews. feefrae is not a medical authority and does not verify individual reviews — this describes what diners discussed, not whether the venue is safe for your needs. Always check directly with the venue and do your own research.
