Community Goods Allergen Guide

What Allergens Does Community Goods Track?

This guide tracks three allergens across the Community Goods menu: Dairy, Gluten, and Nuts. The figures are based on standard recipe composition, since Community Goods doesn’t publish an official allergen chart. If you have a severe allergy, always confirm directly with staff before ordering.

Which Items Contain Nuts?

Only two items list Nuts as an allergen: the signature Pistachio Toast (which also contains Dairy and Gluten) and the Almond Yuzu pastry (also Dairy and Gluten). Bando Bread is baked on almond flour, so it still contains nuts even though it’s tagged Vegan. It’s not safe for a nut allergy despite being dairy-free.

Which Items Are Dairy-Free?

All coffee made without milk (Espresso, Americano, Espresso Tonic), most of the tea and refreshers category, Matcha Tonic, Chia Seed Pudding, and Bando Bread are dairy-free as served. Every milk-based latte, cappuccino, and the Einspänner-style drinks list Dairy, though oat or almond milk substitutions are usually available.

For a full breakdown of every vegan-tagged item on the menu, not just what happens to be dairy-free, see this guide’s vegan menu breakdown.

Which Items Are Gluten-Free?

Most drinks, including coffee, matcha, and tea, are gluten-free, since gluten only shows up on the food and bakery side of the menu. Breakfast Sliders, Pistachio Toast, Banana Bread, all four sandwiches, and every bakery-case item (croissants, Kouign Amann, cookies, Ham and Comté) contain Gluten. Chia Seed Pudding is the one gluten-free food item.

Gluten-Free Drinks

Coffee, matcha, and tea are all naturally gluten-free, since none of the drink recipes use flour or gluten-based ingredients. This makes the drink menu the safer starting point for a gluten allergy.

Gluten-Free Food & Bakery

Chia Seed Pudding is the one gluten-free food item on the menu. Every sandwich, the Breakfast Sliders, and the entire bakery case are made with wheat-based bread or pastry dough, so they all contain Gluten.

How Does This Compare to the Vegan Menu?

Allergen-free and vegan are not the same thing. Bando Bread, for example, is vegan but still contains nuts from the almond flour, so it is not safe for a nut allergy despite having no animal products. Cross-check both this guide and the vegan menu breakdown if you are avoiding both animal products and a specific allergen.

What Should You Do If You Have a Severe Allergy?

Treat every figure on this page as an estimate, not a lab-tested guarantee. Cross-contamination is possible in any shared kitchen. The safest options for a severe allergy are simple, unmixed drinks, like a straight Espresso or plain tea, ordered and confirmed directly with staff at the counter.
