What to order: Kale salad, turkey avocado panini, iced coffee
Insider tip: Grab a loaf to elevate tomorrow’s office sandwich.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered spots are limited on Larkin and fill quickly during lunch hours. Nearest paid garage is at 880 Bush St, a 5-minute walk.
Dress code: Casual; office attire and jeans both fit in. No need to dress up.
Noise level: Moderate — conversations are possible but the room hums with lunch traffic and espresso machines.
Weekend wait: Closed for dinner service.
Weekday lunch: 10–15 minute line at peak noon rush; otherwise minimal wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple salad and sandwich options, plus daily specials.
Vegan options: Limited — 2–3 options, but customizable with bread and salad swaps.
Gluten-free options: Yes — salads are naturally gluten-free; gluten-free bread available upon request.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal — the setting leans functional and busy rather than intimate. Better for casual meet-ups or working lunches.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — it’s walk-in only. Arrive before noon or after 1:30pm for best seating options.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids; the space is casual and bright but not designed with play areas or high chairs. Best for quick bites with school-age children.
Best For
Better for: Faster, healthier lunches with good coffee compared to heavier American diners nearby.
Skip if: You’re looking for a lingering, quiet meal or dinner service — this is strictly a daytime café.
