The Union Coffee Shop

It is a bummer when a business is closed, especially when they do not update on Google, etc. I mapped and drove here, searched for parking, saw the espresso light on, and paid for parking, only to discover the place is closed for an involved remodel.

This review is for the attached Union Coffee Shop which is within the same building and seems to share the same ownership as Daisy cafe. We stopped by for a quick snack and coffee before heading down the Chuckanut Drive. The beverages were great. The cinnamon buns pretty authentic and reminded me of the pastries I had in Finland and Denmark. The service was a bit slow but super, super friendly.

Coffee is highly okay. Nice space. Absolutely no vegan or plant based options. The hours are bizarre almost always closed when I walk by

Be careful trying to drink your coffee here. Make sure you put it back on when not drinking or the staff will ask you to leave. They are very serious about face coverings at all times. The coffee was fine but the young man working the counter was surprisingly rude. First, he told me face covering didn 't work well enough and that I would need another or leave. I told him I had a medical condition which prevents me from using most store bought masks. He laughed and told me to leave his private business. When I protested, a homeless man who was digging through the tip jar started yelling at me to leave. I pointed out that other people were drinking coffee without their masks on and the young man told them all to immediately put their masks on when not sipping their coffee. The manager came out, saw my mask, and told me to leave and she would bring me coffee outside. Ten minutes later, I got a cup of coffee. I 'm sure most people have a fine experience here, but the manager and employee at the coffee section need to have more sensitivity training.

Super cute aesthetic and very good chai latte! There was only one employee working and she was very friendly and extremely efficient. A little pricey but the hay straws are awesome!
