12 Chairs' brunch draws a crowd precisely because of its price point: The Infatuation's affordable-brunch guide warns that if you've found the cafe's roughly $11 challah French toast and hummus falafel, you should expect it to be "probably going to be full of people who have also figured this out."
The guide frames this as a byproduct of value, not hype — a steady, budget-driven brunch crowd rather than a viral line, and it does not report specific wait times or a reservation policy.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
No specific wait time is reported, but The Infatuation's affordable-brunch guide notes it's typically full of diners drawn by its low brunch prices, implying a wait at peak weekend hours.
Reservation policy isn't addressed in available reporting; call ahead to confirm.
Walk-ins appear to be the norm based on available coverage, though popularity at brunch may mean a short wait, per The Infatuation.
