Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; metered and can be tight during peak morning hours. Easier mid-morning or early afternoon.
Dress code: Casual and practical—jeans, sneakers, and everyday wear are completely fine.
Noise level: Moderate during breakfast rush; quieter and relaxed late morning into early afternoon.
Weekend wait: Little to no wait; dinner service is typically calmer than breakfast hours.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait or a short 5–10 minute turn during peak noon hours.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—omelets, eggs, pancakes, French toast, grilled cheese, and simple sides.
Vegan options: Limited—mainly toast, home fries, and coffee; best for accommodating rather than dedicated vegan dining.
Gluten-free options: Limited—egg plates without toast or buns are workable, but no dedicated gluten-free prep.
Good to Know

Is it kid-friendly? Very—classic diner menu, flexible ordering, and a relaxed environment suitable for toddlers through teens.
Best For
Better for: Reliable breakfast plates, quick service, and an easy neighborhood rhythm without fuss.
