Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—no reservations needed; seating is first-come at nearby gate area tables.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—simple bagel menu and fast service make it easy for families, but limited high-chair options.

Consider Alternatives If: You want a sit-down brunch or latte art café experience—this is grab-and-go convenience.
