Dairy-Free & Vegan Guide: Everything We Offer

Executive Summary

Not everyone can (or wants to) eat dairy, and we want CD Yogurt to be an easy, genuinely enjoyable visit regardless. Here’s a complete guide to what’s dairy-free and vegan-friendly on our menu, how it’s made, and what to double-check with the team when you’re ordering.

TL;DR

We typically carry a dairy-free base alongside our regular yogurt flavours, and most of our fresh fruit and several other toppings are naturally vegan-friendly. Availability can vary day to day, so it’s always worth confirming with the team in-store.

Key Takeaways

• A dairy-free base is typically available alongside our dairy yogurt bases
• Fresh fruit toppings are naturally dairy-free and vegan
• Some sauces and crunch toppings may contain dairy — always worth checking on the day
• Availability of the dairy-free base can vary, so confirm in-store rather than assuming
• Our team is happy to talk through exactly what’s in each option if you have specific dietary needs

Our Dairy-Free Base

We typically offer a dairy-free yogurt base alongside our regular flavours, made without dairy but designed to deliver a similarly smooth, creamy texture. Because it’s a rotating or seasonal offering in some cases, the specific flavour and availability can vary — the team in-store will always know what’s on hand on the day, so it’s worth asking rather than assuming a specific flavour will be there.

Toppings That Are Naturally Dairy-Free and Vegan

Good news here: a large chunk of our topping bar is naturally dairy-free and vegan-friendly without needing any special preparation.

• Fresh fruit — strawberries, blueberries, mango, kiwi, banana, passionfruit are all dairy-free and vegan
• Some sauces — fruit-based sauces like strawberry, mango, and passionfruit are generally dairy-free, though it’s worth confirming the exact recipe with staff
• Extras — lychee, aloe vera, and chia seeds are typically dairy-free and vegan-friendly

Toppings to double check on the day include chocolate-based sauces, crushed Oreos, and mochi, since recipes and suppliers can vary and some may contain dairy or non-vegan ingredients.

What to Ask For In-Store

If you’re strictly dairy-free or vegan, the easiest approach is simply to tell the team when you order — they can point you to what’s confirmed dairy-free and vegan that day, rather than you having to guess from the topping bar alone. This is especially useful for toppings where recipes can change slightly, like sauces and packaged extras.

FAQ

Is your dairy-free base also vegan?

Typically yes, but it’s worth confirming with staff on the day, as recipes and suppliers can occasionally vary.

Is the dairy-free option always the same flavour?

Not necessarily — it can rotate, so ask in-store what’s currently available.

Are all your fresh fruit toppings vegan?

Yes, our fresh fruit toppings are naturally dairy-free and vegan with no special preparation needed.

Do you have any topping that’s completely off-limits for vegans?

Some crunch toppings and sauces may contain dairy or other animal-derived ingredients — always check with the team if you’re unsure about a specific topping.

Can I get a full dairy-free bowl, base and all toppings?

Yes — just let the team know you’re after a fully dairy-free bowl and they’ll help you build one from the confirmed dairy-free options.

Do you offer any gluten-free options as well?

Fresh fruit and most sauces are naturally gluten-free, though items like granola, muesli, and crushed Oreos are not — ask staff if you need a fully gluten-free bowl.

No, the dairy-free base is priced the same as our regular bases.
