Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — there are no reservations; seating is first-come and mainly counter or small tables, with most guests ordering to-go.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — relaxed environment and ice cream focus make it family-friendly; space is small, so strollers fit best during off-peak hours.
