I sat at the counter, had a cup of joe and a toasted muffin, and made a call while my feet warmed up. During that time, one piece of cheesecake left the case. Customers (@ 5:00 PM) were ordering up soup, dinners, sandwiches, and even pancakes. The diner does a lot of take-out; donuts are conveniently located by the front door.
