Union is a lovely coffee and wine store. Bright and sleek, with a cozy indoor seating area in the loft and a small but sunny outdoor patio. Service was very friendly, and I think they are tip free, while their prices are still comparable to other places.They make good coffee and even bake pastries in house. Their croissants are more on the solid sweet side than flaky buttery, so not really to my taste but overall not bad.

I didnt think I liked Lavender Lattes until I had it here at Union Coffee. Never have I ever had an emotional reaction to a beverage before. This was unlike any feelings of nostalgia to comfort foods. I had a perfectly made drink and I fear my attempt to describe it will only cheapen it. I dont know what went into my latte but it legitimately toyed with my raw feelings with every sip. Not to be more dramatic than I already am but I enjoyed my drink outside on a beautiful early afternoon with the Autumn foliage and at one point nearly cried. Then I nearly cried again for a wholly different reason when my drink was depleted. The barista was amazing and a delight in every way possible. Union Coffee somehow found a special nook in my vapid soul and I almost dont want to come back again but cant wait to be back at the same time.

Cute local cafe with a solid wine and coffee gear selection. The barista was polite, albeit slow moving. The drinks were good - I enjoyed the uniqueness of their specialty drink menu. Overall, decent option for coffee if youre in the area.

Union is a coffee shop for everyone, but especially for coffee people. They use very high quality equipment (Victoria Arduino Black Eagle 😍) paired with a high degree of staff expertise in coffee preparation. Your espresso based drinks are sure to be stunning on their own, or with one of their in-house flavors; but, the rotating options for pour-over are always a treat. As a multi-roaster cafe, they put in a lot of effort to source interesting and delicious coffees from various roasters, with plenty of options for whole beans to take home.The staff are super friendly, and committed to having a positive presence and influence in their community. Because they actively put their values into practice, they’ve created a cafe that feels safe, welcoming, and supportive. They are truly an excellent example of how to run a small business with integrity, and I wish that more Seattle coffee shops and businesses would take note.

Great neighborhood coffee shop. Friendly staff. Very good quality coffee. I received an americano with oat milk and it was delicious :)

I was so excited when the new owner took over the space and made a plan to visit right away. The baristas here are always willing to engage about the coffee and help me find something to my taste. Through the pandemic I saw them adapt their business model by selling unique bottled wine and collaborating with other small business, all while looking after the safety of their team and customers alike. They’ve really become a part of the neighborhood and I can’t wait to see what they do with the space as time moves forward.

Amazing foods .sweets and salads fresh every day

Union coffee in Central District Seattle is a pop up coffee shop that serves an amazing Rose Cardamom Latte.They also have a good wine selection and some of their coffee flavors are not found in your typical coffee shops. Coffee is served in 8,12 or 16 ounces cups. Do try the cookie from the Lowrider Baking Company next door!#coffee #seattlecoffee #coffeeshop #coffeelover #coffeetime #coffeeaddict #coffeebar #coffeebardecor #coffeebarideas #seattlecoffeescene #seattlecoffeeworks #coffeedaily #coffeegram #loveforcoffee #coffeelove #caffeineaddict #seattle #washington #usa

Barista burnt the coffee last time i went there, but usually the coffee is top-notch. I went with a small group of people and we all noticed the coffee was unusually bitter. Other than that my experiences here have been really good. Its a really nice chill area for a coffee date outside too.

Outstanding coffee. Great decor. Incredibly friendly and courteous staff.

Such a cool place, the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable! We went for wine in the evening, and the selection available for by-the-glass was really great.

Had a great lavender latte. Really well-balanced and not too sweet.

As an acoustician I had to take a ride across the city before I catch my southbound train back to Eugene and see the cool design. Entering the tranquil space there was an sense of coziness and chill vibes playing on the speakers. Well, it was 8am on a Sunday so might be different on a Tuesday. Coffee was A++ a classic latte w oat milk really set my day off. The ceiling is super cool if you’re a sound nerd and into that modern design. Would love to chat with Zack the owner about the space one day.

Delicious coffee, nice baristas, beautiful interior. They also make a killer oat milk latte. Love having this coffee shop around.

Great, local, POC-owned spot!Love Geetu and the staff. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come more often for wine nights :)

Love the relaxing atmosphere, reasonably priced coffee, and latte art! Ill definitely come back and chill here.

I used to really like this place for the environment, but have had a few kind of hostile experiences recently and wont be back

Best coffee in town! I love the baristas here and their dedication to covid safety is a great bonus. 10/10

Well curated coffee selection, really fun and delicious seasonal specials (masala horchata??!!!!), awesome natural wine options, and just the kindest and most talented staff. We are so lucky to have this in the neighborhood!

Don’t think I’ve ever had a bad cup of coffee here (they do however tend to add too much syrup so worth asking for half sweetness) . Nice space too.

Sinfully delicious bakery items, and a properly made cappuccino.

Their latté is among the best in Seattle. as a grad student, it’s a good alternative if you are tired of the library and it’s just < 15mins away by bus from UW. I only wish they extend their cafe hours up to late afternoons.

Loved their latte and pecan and ginger scone. The neutral white and minimal interior make them super cute. Wish they were open for seating. Would definitely like to spend sometime upstairs meeting friends and sipping coffee.

Casual spot that takes coffee seriously! Recommend this spot to anyone to appreciates the extra effort that goes into craft coffee. It’s worth the money

Found that place on google as top rated, but was very disappointed. Coffee not better than macdonalds

The new owner is keeping the doors open for to-go drinks and serving delicious light roast coffee sourced with intention and quality in mind. My coffee had sweet notes of lavender. She said she is working with a local chef and is about to start serving some special food items. It was so fun to see her passion for coffee and her business. Go check it out!

Love the modern vibe!Had the best chai latte Ive ever tried. It was a green tea chai iced latte. The flavor base notes made me think of fruit loops actually! The coffee was fantastic as well.

Very good coffee and pastries.

Really great lavender lattes! the only downside was that one of the staff members was pretty rude to us when we didnt have our masks on (were vaccinated lol) :(

Such a cool and cute vibe inside the cafe. Love this place!

Love union coffee, its my go to for a coffee and they have great pastries also (gotta try the quiche or croissant)! Havent tried the wine they have yet but seems pretty popular. They also have a great selection of coffee beans for purchase :)

Friendliest staff. best coffee. what else is there to say?

Great coffee w/ great space design

Cutest shop! Love this spot- awesome coffee and friendly vibe. Just the right busy all the time. Wish they stayed open later 🤞🏼

My favorite coffee shop in seattle. Love the aesthetic and owned by a great person and staffed by lovely people.

Great decor. Best part was the granola bowl! It was an acceptable portion size for $5.5. They don’t use a lot of honey or sugar in and instead use light whipped cream to bind it. Possibly the best granola bowl I’ve had (it had hazelnuts!!!).Fast WiFi and plenty, PLENTY of plugs. If you have a seat, you’ll probably have a plug nearby. It may be a bit chilly too.

Friendly, comfortable space featuring local art and coffee-- was unfortunately disappointed by my drink- it was burnt and overly seasoned which ruined things a bit for me

There are many excellent cafes on this stretch of Union Street, but this one stands out. Do you like espresso drinks? Are you interested in having a conversation about tasting notes in an unpretentious and welcoming environment? Or do you just want a good, tasty coffee? This is the place to go. I also prefer the chocolate chip cookies here, even though theyre right next door to a cookie shop that itself is no slouch.

Very cute cafe. Excellent coffee with a kind staff. The atmosphere in this cafe is the highlight. They actually put effort into making it nice inside unlike most cluttered, concrete floored, dimly lit Seattle cafes.

Cute little outdoor seating spot. Lovely baristas.

Good coffee/espresso but some of the staff can be stand-offish.

Great coffee and nice natural wine selection.

I got the rose cardamom seasonal latte with oat milk and it was one of the best lattes Ive ever had! Im looking forward to trying other drinks here soon.

When we went there, it was 5:45pm on a Friday. The hours on the door state it was open until 10pm and their Google hours stated until 9:30pm. The girl inside eagerly told us it was closed. Update your door and Google hours if things changed.

Good ambience, but terrible coffee - lukewarm, milky latte

Geetu and the crew are absolute gems! The former cafe has been transformed into a community caffeinating hole with incredible pop-ups and permanent rows of natural wine care of Juice Club. Of course, they serve and sell wonderful coffee.Bonus points for the fact that I discovered my absolute favorite chai mix of all time here.

A lot of third wave coffee shops look the look, but dont know what theyre doing. Union Coffee is different, theyre meticulous about the beans and how they brew them. Particularly the Nordic rotation is consistently amazing (I wish they sold those beans). Cozy place to sit and get some work done, too.

Love this spot! Fantastic coffee and good vibes!

Take my nit picky taste in coffee with a grain of salt, but I thought my latte was not as flavorful as I’d hoped. I do agree with other reviewers that the decor is very adorable, and the staff was nice.Update to review: I did not read the owners response to my previous 4-star review. So this is independent of that. I updated my review of the coffee (and the overall shop) to 5 stars because I think I had an off-day yesterday with my palate. I found this out toward the second half of the day, after the review had been written. So my bad. But I stand by the fact that this is a cute cafe, and Im excited to go back and try their espresso again.

Neat environment and friendly service.I had an 8-oz latte, which I found quite disappointing. I thought the flavor was overly bright and thin; even the milk portion was not particularly creamy. I recognize that Union Coffee ascribes to a third wave coffee approach and use lighter roasts than other places. But Ive had cafe lattes at Storyville or Cafe Lusso, both of which use relatively lighter beans, and both of which I thought were substantially better.That said, I appreciate their wide selection of coffee beans and their commitment to fair dealings with their suppliers. Im guessing that perhaps a brewed coffee method would fare better.

Great espresso, great selection of beans, and great people!

Clean, neat and lots of cool coffee equipment. Plenty of seating for working and an average noise level.

Visiting for LA, our friends brought us here. Perfect pour over and great selection of coffees.

Hands down the best pour over in Seattle! Geetu and Sky are such talented baristas, anything they make is liquid gold! The selection of beans for purchase is always rotating so theres always something new to try (excited to try the Proud Mary beans we got today!). Definitely my favorite coffee shop in Seattle!

This is a lovely little shop! Zachary the owner is such a kind person! He is open hearted and drives his business with compassion! All the baristas here are excellent, and there is a whole wall of vinyl to listen to while you sip ☕.

Great service!

So much comfortable place :)

Excellent coffee, sweet pup, knowledgeable and caring about their product. Support them.

They serve the modern style of coffee more prevalent in Portland than Seattle. This is a good thing! Espresso is more flavorful in fhe modern style. Also, the cappuccino was served at the correct temperature (much lower than usual) so that the milk texture is much smoother and more supple. This shop is #correct.

Very small and cozy. They offer both onyx and Olympia espresso beans and their Berry and mint shrub was quite refreshing. Staff was nice and outgoing. Worth a stop if you like coffee and a cozy shop.

The decor is nice & minimal, with old school records playing the liven the place up.Unfortunately, my lightly sweetened vanilla latte had a very strange, almost too sweet tang to it, I couldnt even drink half of it.The cardamom granola bowl for $5.50 was, on the other hand, delicious.Its very loud there and gets pretty busy with folks working (I came in at 10am on a Wednesday). Which is great, but unfortunately for me, made it really hard to take phone calls or have meetings from work there.Its a good spot, and free parking outside, just wouldnt go out of my way to go there.

Excellent crew, excellent coffee. My wife and my favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood.

The place is small but very nice for getting some work done, reading, and hanging out. But coffee is not great probably below average. Environment: 4.6 stars, coffee: 2 stars

Pristine local cafe tucked away in a corner in central district. Come for the excellent coffee, stay for the vibe and music.

Great coffee and very clean anesthetic with always amazing music in the background!Update: They tend to have a pretty great rotation of beans from multiple roasters ranging from more traditional chocolaty/dark coffee to the more eccentric floral/fruity coffees. And the best part – if you want to learn anything about coffee just ask your barista! Theyre all super knowledgeable and friendly :)

Great drinks and snacks to go with them in a really comfy, clean environment. They play upbeat music, but its not at an extreme volume so you can have a nice conversation or get work done easily. The employees were really friendly, and there is a rewards program!

Whoever designed this space did a great job. Unique, and tasty!

Its a simple place in a good way. The cafe is bright in terms of most of things are white themed.They serve Brandywine, Olympia, onyx and camber coffee. On this visit I tried Brandywine which is more on the fruity side. And it was really good.The staff is friendly. Definitely try!!!

The latte was amazing and the cafe is very cool inside. I just wish the water glasses and pitcher were slightly larger

Great coffee and a lot of single origin choices. Enjoyed the natural Ethiopian.

Bright and airy with a focused menu, Union Coffee is a great addition to the neighborhood. It seems more like a place for coffee tastings and sitting to savor, but the service is so personable and eager to please that it lacks the snobbery usually associated with fancy coffee. Their hot chocolate has also become a new favorite morning treat for my 3-year old.The upstairs, when finished, looks like a promising work space and while I thought it would be echoey, the acoustics are surprisingly warm in such an open space. Looking forward to trying it out this winter when the weather turns gloomy.

Great owner, staff, and coffee. Music is always exceptional. This place makes you feel good.

Great Aesthetic, friendly/helpful/welcoming staff, decor is on point as well as audio system! Great coffee and pastries! Very inspiring minimal aesthetic!!!!

Lovely coffeeshop serving Olympia beans. Great space to get work done.

Really cute cafe. Love the interior. The coffee was good. Love the multiple plugs. Will be coming more often.

I enjoyed that place cool staff its got to be expensive in there the reason why I said cuz it only cost $5 for iced coffee Ill be back

My first date with my fiance was here. This place will always be engraved in my heart.

My new favorite coffee shop. Victrola coffee, Hello Robin cookies, and excellent music. This place has a nice clean, open and casual vibe.

Beautiful venue. Tight spaces upstairs and chilled out seating down stairs

Gorgeous space serving up genuinely great coffee. Always enjoy stopping by when in Seattle.

Some of the best coffee in Seattle and a very unique space. Great place to grab a coffee and be productive

Great modern vibe. Owner is very nice! Passionate about the coffee.

Great place to study, plenty of seating upstairs. Free street parking.

Quiet and modern atmosphere. Delicious pastries and the cappuccino was top notch.

New style third wave coffee store in a new building. Serves great drinks and snacks. Friendly people.

Fantastic coffee, lovely service, and very very reasonable prices. Will definitely be coming back!

Yet another great coffee shop in Seattle. Helpful fun people work there.

Sleek modern vibe. Slate coffee. Small workspaces available. Drums upstairs.

Great spot to grab some delicious coffee

Love what they are doing here, super well made coffee, pretty and well designed space, nice community vibe.

Some of the friendliest staff around and, dare I say, one of the best multi roasters in Seattle?

Staff is very warm and engaging, great menu options, and fantastic coffee!

Friendly staff and great tunes! Best cappuccino I’ve had in Seattle!

Really excellent coffee and cool interior

Supper chill atmosphere. Cool low key place!

Excellent coffee, awesome shop, friendly owner

Union is on point! The coffee is excellent, the staff are friendly and the minimalistic interior is really cool. Best coffee Ive had in Seattle!

All about the beans. Pricey but roasted 24 hours before

Great coffee paired with a clean and comfortable space. My favorite coffee spot in Seattle.

Nice ambiance and plenty of space to talk or sit and work.
