Logistics & Planning

Dress code: Casual—anything from jeans to business casual is fine.
Noise level: Moderate—counter bustle and street noise, but still manageable for conversation.
Weekend wait: 10–20 minutes if ordering savory plates; donuts usually no wait.
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait for donuts; 5–10 minutes if ordering grill items.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several savory options and donuts are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Limited—donuts typically contain dairy/eggs; savory side salads may be adaptable.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free donuts; grilled meats and some sides can work with caution.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? More practical than romantic—better for casual meetups or group hangs than a first date setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins only; tables are first-come and usually available except at peak lunch.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—donuts appeal to kids and space is informal, though no high chairs or play areas are provided.
Best For
Better for: Great when groups want both sweet donuts and savory grill items without splitting up.
Skip if: If you’re seeking artisan small-batch donuts or a quiet cafe vibe, alternatives may fit better.
