Noise level: Low to moderate—blender noise pops up, but you can comfortably hold a conversation.
Weekend wait: 5–15 minutes, mostly for food prep since seating is limited.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re going for casual, low-pressure, and quick. It’s more of a grab-and-go or relaxed daytime meet-up spot than a romantic setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—it's counter-service and first-come-first-served. If all tables are taken, most people grab food to-go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—easygoing, bright, and fast. Great for kids who love fruit juices, but note the limited seating and no high chairs.
Best For
Better for: Fresh juices, aguas frescas, and hearty breakfast burritos at a low price—especially good if you want something quick and filling.
Skip if: You want a sit-down meal with ambiance, large group seating, or a big dinner-focused menu.
