Logistics & Planning

Dress code: Casual—come as you are; jeans and sneakers are standard.
Noise level: Low—quick counter ordering with minimal ambient noise.
Weekend wait: Not applicable—bakery hours only; weekends can see a 10–20 minute line mid-morning.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait or a short line under 5 minutes outside peak hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—most pastries are vegetarian.
Vegan options: Very limited—occasionally one rotating item; not a vegan-focused bakery.
Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free program; cross-contamination likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes, if you’re aiming for something casual and low-pressure—great for a daytime pastry stop rather than a long sit-down hang.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no reservation system and limited seating—plan to grab pastries to go or keep expectations flexible.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes in a practical sense—kids like the pastries, but it’s a small, quick-stop space without kid-specific amenities.
Best For
Better for: Laminated pastry technique, clean flavors, and a focused menu that rewards early visits.
Skip if: You want lots of seating, gluten-free reliability, or a wide dessert menu—look elsewhere for a full café experience.
