Folded egg sandwich, Housemade granola, Steel cut oatmeal

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal—this is a quick counter stop rather than a linger-and-talk café.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There’s no reservation system; seating is minimal and first-come, first-served, with most people taking food to go.
Is it kid-friendly? Fine for older kids grabbing a quick breakfast, but no kid-specific menu or space for strollers.
Best For
Better for: Fast, clean breakfast execution and solo-friendly pacing without menu overload.
Skip if: You want a sit-down brunch, group seating, or a social café atmosphere.
