Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Mission Street and nearby residential blocks; spots open up mid-lunch hour but can be tight around 12pm.
Dress code: Casual—office attire or streetwear is perfectly fine.
Noise level: Low to moderate; counter service means quick in-and-out, and conversation is easy if you dine in.

Weekday lunch: 5–10 minutes at peak; usually no line before 11:45am.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—multiple veggie subs available and customizable with cheese or avocado.

Gluten-free options: No dedicated gluten-free bread, but they can serve fillings over lettuce if requested.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—it’s more of a grab-and-go sandwich shop than a sit-down spot. Works better for a quick lunch meet or casual catch-up.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, it’s counter-service only. A few tables are available for dine-in, but turnover is fast, so you’ll almost always find a seat.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—simple menu, friendly staff, and quick service make it easy for families, though seating is limited.
Best For
Better for: Faster and fresher than chain sandwich spots, with better bread and crisp toppings.
Skip if: You’re looking for a long lunch meeting or somewhere to linger with table service.
