The person taking my order was visibly sick and I found two hairs in my salad. It’s sad but I worry about their commitment to sanitation. Nobody should be handing food while sick.

I love this place for the fact that they have an incredible hot vegan sandwich, which is so hard to find around here. The food is always so fresh and good, and the service is very friendly. The worst part about this place is that they are not open all the time!!

Clean and simple spot! I like that it's calm and not overstimulating. Had a tasty grilled cheese with tomato soup, which was a good portion for a quick meal/snack. The iced coffee is good too.

what a lovely find! stopped in for a quick lunch and got probably the best egg sandwich i have ever eaten. the bread was so soft and everything tasted so fresh. it was also a great portion size for the price. i dropped some salad at the end of my meal and while trying to clean my mess, i was very kindly informed by a staff member that they were happy to take care of it. i will most definitely be coming back :-)

This spot is positive and progressive with good service and a warm atmosphere. However, the monkey bread was burnt and over cooked. The Market Hash was mostly potatoes and beets, the side salad was green, that’s it. This leaves much to be desired. We won’t come here again.

Lots of natural bright light and wide open area to lounge. Superb. Absolutely loved their breakfast sandwich! Also appreciate that they serve a side salad with their entrees. Bathroom had extra hygiene options too; made me reminisce of when I lived in Tokyo. Staff was great as well and coffee was delicious. I would add honey as option for sweetener.

The union special egg/hash brown sandwich was decent, but a bit plain. I also recommend the hash brown at least on the side, with the option to add it yourself later. It was a bit too salty, and despite seeming to be freshly fried it lacked flavor and texture. The sauce was a bit too sweet, but the brioche was pretty standard in a good way.If you're willing to pay a few extra bucks for an elevated breakfast sandwich, this might be your place. But I thought it was decent.
The food is always good. The service is a bit up-and-down. The breakfast bowls are big and have a restaurant/gourmet field. I really like the New York style crumb cake the best the cookies seem very flat and flaccid which is strange because when the guy who started union special was at The chocolate/black and white as a pop-up shop before they got the real place. He had his cookies there and they were large plump and delicious like a Reuben painting. The coffee is pretty much consistent and on point and would be a step above a third wave coffee joint.

The best dirty chai latte you'll ever have! Very kind people and excellent service. I take all my friends from out of town here to have a dirty chai, and it never disappoints.

Delicious pecan croissant, rich coffee, and a loaf of tomato sourdough to go. Andrew's business is a treasure!
