Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; limited and competitive during weekday mornings, slightly easier mid-day. Paid garages within a few blocks.
Dress code: Casual and low-effort — jeans, sneakers, and work-from-home attire all fit right in.
Noise level: Low to moderate — background cafe hum, easy for solo work or quiet conversation.
Weekend wait: Not a dinner-driven spot; evenings are usually calm with little to no wait.
Weekday lunch: Minimal wait; short counter line possible during peak coffee hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — multiple vegetarian pastries and baked goods available daily.
Vegan options: Limited — a few plant-based pastries or breads depending on the day.
Gluten-free options: Limited — occasional naturally gluten-free items, but not a dedicated focus.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better as a casual coffee meet or daytime check-in than a formal date — relaxed, low-pressure, and easy to exit if needed.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — seating is first-come and turnover is quick; most guests are in and out within 30–45 minutes.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for quick stops — pastries and open seating work for younger kids, but there are no dedicated kid amenities.
Best For
Better for: Quick coffee resets, solo pastry runs, and low-key daytime stops without commitment.
Skip if: You’re looking for a full-service Greek meal, long sit-down brunch, or a high-energy cafe scene.
