Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Probably not ideal for a first date — it’s more of a bakery-deli and grocery stop than a sit-down dining experience.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — reservations aren’t needed since service is counter-style. Seating, if available, is limited and casual.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — families shop here frequently, and kids tend to love the bakery treats. Just note that strollers may feel tight during busy hours.
Best For
