Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly street parking on nearby residential blocks; usually manageable in the morning but can tighten up late morning on weekends.
Dress code: Very casual—jeans, hoodies, and weekend wear are the norm.
Noise level: Moderate during peak breakfast hours; quieter and more relaxed after the lunch rush.
Weekend wait: Not applicable—primarily a breakfast-and-lunch spot.
Weekday lunch: Short wait or no wait most days; lines move quickly if they form.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—several egg-based breakfasts, skillets, and sides work well for vegetarians.
Vegan options: Limited—possible to piece together sides like potatoes or toast, but not a core strength.
Gluten-free options: Limited—some egg dishes can be ordered without toast, but cross-contact is likely.
