Choosing a café as a Muslim diner usually starts with one question: is it halal-certified, or does it only avoid certain ingredients? This list of six cafés sets out what each business states, so you can decide for yourself. The Tree Cafe at Century Square and Délifrance state that they are halal-certified. Creamier, Puffs And Peaks and Elijah Pies state that they are not certified but do not use pork or lard. The Better Half states that it is not certified halal. Read each entry's halal note before visiting, and check directly with the café if anything is unclear.
