What It's Like to Eat at Eatsa, San Francisco's Futuristic Quinoa Bowl Café

Despite opening only two days prior in San Francisco's Financial District, there was a line wrapping around the building at 12:30. Signs at various points in the line advertise eight- and five-minute waits from that point on, though the wait was easily double that (and that's just to reach the front of the café). Once inside, a staff member ushered me to my kiosk. Gripes aside, the line moves pretty fast — the automation definitely speeds up the process — and it's not really Eatsa's fault that it's ridiculously popular.
