Rice-Based Thai Options
Many Thai dishes begin with rice or rice noodles, but sauces, curry pastes, seasonings and toppings can contain gluten. Ingredients and recipes can change, so a rice-based dish is not automatically gluten-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Tess Vegan Cafe have gluten-free options?
Some dishes can be prepared without gluten-containing ingredients. Ingredients and recipes can change, so ask staff to check the current menu before ordering.
Is the Pad Thai gluten-free?
Rice noodles do not automatically make a dish gluten-free because sauces and shared preparation can introduce gluten. Ask staff to verify the current ingredients and explain your needs.
Is Thai food usually gluten-free?
Not always. Soy sauce, seasoning sauces, curry pastes and shared fryers or utensils may introduce gluten even when a dish is rice-based.
Are you a 100% gluten-free kitchen?
No. Tess Vegan Cafe is a 100% vegan kitchen, but it is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. Shared equipment and preparation areas mean cross-contact is possible.
