Say This To The Server

“Could I get a hot cocoa made with soy milk instead of regular milk? And definitely no whipped cream on top. Just to double-check - is your cocoa powder dairy-free, or does it have any milk powder mixed in? I want to make sure it's completely vegan.”

based on: Cocoa

Ingredients:cocoa powder · plant-based milk alternatives · sugar · water

⚠ Confirm With The Server

Confirmation questions, not custom builds. Most kitchens premake breads + sauces, so ask whether the standard recipe is dairy-free rather than for a from-scratch swap.

· Confirm the cocoa powder doesn't contain milk powder or other dairy ingredients
· Verify no whipped cream or dairy-based toppings are added
· Ask if the soy milk is pure plant-based without dairy additives

Vegan-enough, not vegan-perfect

You picked a non-vegan restaurant. The order above gets you as close to vegan as the kitchen can ship tonight. Shared fryers, premade dough, may-contain disclaimers come with the territory. If you need certified vegan only, find a vegan restaurant.
