//The line

A Yelp reviewer described 'walking by this location to see it had a line out the door,' underscoring the counter's continued draw as a destination stop inside Essex Market.

That demand is compressed into a narrow service window — walk-up ordering runs only Wednesday through Friday, per search results, which likely concentrates crowds and lines during those limited hours.
