There are around 8 tables for 2 and 2 small round tables that could fit 3 to 4 (tightly) each. It does get really busy at lunch. I wouldn't count on getting a seat. With the line reaching the door I'd say the wait is at least 20 minutes before getting your order.
Other similarly casual spots in the immediate area are Bahn Mi Boys, White Squirrel, and Come and Get It.
For old school greasy spoon diner there is Avenue Open Kitchen on Camden. It probably seats around 20 people tightly. The daily specials are what makes this place great.
And there is Sense Appeal, which is ostensibly a cafe, but their lunch menu is quite ambitious given that they have such a tiny kitchen. They are always experimenting with molecular gastronomy techniques but in a fun and exciting way. It has some seating, but it's weird that it is scattered out in the lobby of the building they are in.
For something a bit nicer for sitting in, there is Strada 241 for good pizza and pasta. It's on Spadina about a block or so north of Queen.
