Kitchen Mouse
Kitchen Mouse is a vegetarian cafe on Figueroa Street in Highland Park serving breakfast and lunch, with longer hours on Friday and Saturday evenings. Its online menu is unusually transparent: dishes carry individual allergen lists alongside gluten-free and vegan tags, so a diner can see, for example, that the chilaquiles involve cashew or that the gomasio rice cakes involve sesame. Eggs, tofu and a plant-based egg alternative are offered as interchangeable choices across the menu. The room is casual and neighbourhood-scaled, and a small bakery storefront from the same team sits nearby on Avenue 59.

Questions to ask before you order
- Is the fryer shared with breaded or battered items, and what else is cooked in that oil?
- Is there a separate prep area, boards and utensils for allergy orders?
- How is an allergy order flagged and communicated to the kitchen, so it cannot be mixed up?
- How are staff trained on food allergies, and how often is that training refreshed?
- What do you do to prevent cross-contact during prep, cooking and plating?
