What makes it special: Daytime spot where breakfast wraps, burgers, and substantial sandwiches share the same grill.
Who should go: Downtown workers craving filling breakfast or lunch plates.

What to order: Morning Wrap, hand carved turkey sandwich, grilled chicken panini.
Insider tip: Pair any sandwich with hummus and pita chips for a bigger meal that still travels well.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only along Hill Street and adjacent blocks; meters are available but turnover is high during weekday office hours.
Dress code: Completely casual—come as you are, from office wear to gym clothes.
Noise level: Moderate during peak lunch hours, but still workable for conversation.
Weekend wait: Not applicable—primarily a daytime spot and quiet by early evening.
Weekday lunch: 5–10 minutes during peak rush, often no wait after 1pm.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Solid choices including breakfast wraps, egg-based plates, and customizable sandwiches.
Vegan options: Limited—some sides like hummus and customizable veggie wraps, but not a full vegan menu.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free bread, but protein plates and salads can be adapted.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you're aiming for something casual and low-pressure. It’s more of a quick, satisfying daytime stop than a romantic setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's counter-service and walk-in only. Seating is limited, so off-peak hours are best for grabbing a spot.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick meals; the menu is straightforward and portions are generous. However, seating is tight, so it’s best for older kids who don’t need high chairs or extra space.
Best For
Better for: Hearty breakfast wraps, big sandwiches, and quick downtown service at prices friendlier than many Historic Core brunch cafés.
Skip if: You want a long, sit-down brunch, expansive vegan options, or a leisurely ambiance—this is built for speed and substance.
