Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking on 7th Avenue is limited and turnover is slow during lunch hours; easier to find a spot on side streets before 11am or after 6pm. No dedicated lot.
Dress code: Casual and wellness-oriented; gym clothes, work-from-home attire, and everyday streetwear are all appropriate.
Noise level: Low to moderate — primarily grab-and-go with a few seats, so conversations are easy and uninterrupted.
Weekend wait: Minimal to no wait; the shop closes earlier than dinner-focused restaurants and traffic tapers late afternoon.
Weekday lunch: Light queue at peak (12–1pm) but moves quickly; typically under 5 minutes.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — the entire menu is plant-based, so all items qualify for vegetarian diners.
Vegan options: Yes — Electric Beets is fully vegan with clearly labeled allergens and no animal products used anywhere.
Gluten-free options: Many GF options including soups, salads, and rotating specials; items are marked, though the small kitchen prevents full cross-contamination guarantees.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you're aiming for a casual, daytime, low-pressure meetup. It's more of a wellness deli than a sit-down restaurant, so seating is limited and not suited for lingering.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — they do not take reservations. Seating is first-come, but most guests order takeaway, so finding a spot is usually easy outside of the lunch rush.
Is it kid-friendly? Kid-friendly in a practical sense — quick service, gentle atmosphere, and simple dishes — but there are no dedicated kids’ amenities, high chairs, or large tables.
Best For
Better for: Health-focused, minimally processed vegan meals that are fast, affordable, and clearly labeled for allergens — ideal for grab-and-go eaters or solo daytime diners.
Skip if: You want a full-service restaurant, dinner seating, indulgent vegan comfort food, or a space to linger for long conversations.
