Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; usually manageable mid-day, tighter during peak lunch hours.
Dress code: Casual and work-friendly—business casual, jeans and sneakers are fine.
Noise level: Low to moderate—counter buzz at lunch but easy to hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: Minimal waits; evenings are generally calm or quiet.
Weekday lunch: Short line possible at peak (10–15 minutes), otherwise quick in-and-out.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetarian paninis and customizable deli-style builds.
Vegan options: Limited—possible with bread and vegetable swaps, but not menu-forward.
Gluten-free options: Limited—no dedicated gluten-free bread; fillings can be modified.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a traditional date—this is a quick, functional lunch counter rather than a linger-and-talk setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—ordering is counter-based and seating is first-come, with steady turnover.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids—simple sandwiches and casual seating work well, but no special kid amenities.
Best For
Better for: Hot, pressed paninis that travel well and fit neatly into a workday lunch routine.
Skip if: You want a sit-down café experience, cold deli classics, or strong vegan/gluten-free coverage.
