Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only—limited near Windward Circle; metered spots fill fast after 9am. Paid lots available one block inland around Pacific Ave.
Dress code: Beach casual—flip-flops, sundresses, and shorts are all common; most guests come straight from the sand.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—expect street sounds and steady patio chatter, but still manageable for conversation.
Weekend wait: Not open for dinner; closes by late afternoon.
Weekday lunch: 10–20 minutes typical wait during peak hours; mornings before 10am usually no wait.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—many items like the avocado toast, grain bowls, and smoothies are vegetarian-friendly.
Vegan options: Yes—several plant-based options including bowls and toasts; modifications easily accommodated.
Gluten-free options: Yes—gluten-free bread available for toasts and sandwiches; some bowls are naturally GF.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you’re aiming for a low-key beach vibe—casual, outdoor, and daylight-focused. Not ideal for intimate or evening dates.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—no reservations accepted. Arrive before 10am on weekends or early afternoon on weekdays for minimal wait.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes—very. Highchairs available, staff are accommodating, and outdoor tables make it easy with strollers. Expect other families during brunch hours.
Best For
Better for: Faster and more relaxed than nearby brunch spots like Gjusta; great for grab-and-go or casual patio meals steps from the beach.
Skip if: You’re seeking full-service dining or a quiet conversation—this is a bustling, beachy café best for daytime energy.
