Today was a super gloomy day and it almost looked like it was going to snow lol! Dave suggested…read morethat we head out to Matlacha and Pine Island and have a late breakfast at the Pine Island Getaway Cafe. Great idea! We love supporting our local community as it is still recovering from Hurricane Ian. We crossed the bridge towards St. James City and towards the Cafe. It was bustling and it looks like a lot of snow birds have found this hidden gem. Everything is homemade and baked there. We ordered our usual- Scrambled eggs piled high on a Croissant with bacon and cheese. A delicious crispy concoction that keeps us coming back! Not to mention the fresh ground coffee and the little patio outside overlooking a peaceful lake. We ate our sandwiches outside in the cool beautiful breezy weather. The sandwich is so yummy and you need a fork and knife to cut through the delicate croissant. Then off we go to our favorite little Publix on Pine Island to grocery shop. A lovely way to begin our day!

We tried the almond croissant, coffee éclair, gyro sandwich, a Cuban coffee, and a café olé -- everything was fresh and flavorful.

I added some peanut butter flavor. It was very good, but nothing outstanding. Staff was great and very friendly , they tell you up front if you don't have enough flavor in your drink they add more. I also got their signature iced bacon egg bites. They were good, but lacked the flavor they'd I e had with some others I've had elsewhere. The staff definitely 5 stars. Drink and food 4. I'll definitely go back to Terry some other flavors.

Smaller cafe, about 10-12 tables inside and 4-5 outside. Our server was fantastic, attentive, and kind. They offered an extensive coffee & speciality drink menu. My friend had the blueberry latte and enjoyed it! We shared the Italian style avocado toast (really appreciated the portion of avocado provided) and the queso potatoes were delish!! Also shared the churrasco sandwich, the beef was so tasty just not enough of it on the sandwich! Yummy chimichurri but too much bread and not enough filling. Overall, great experience and I hope to visit back soon.

Union Coffee is one of those spots that surprises you in the best way. It is located inside the…read morelobby of Ocean Church, which means the hours can be a little unique. But once you walk in, the space feels welcoming and relaxed, not "churchy" at all. It just feels like a comfortable neighborhood coffee stop that happens to share a building. The coffee is fair trade and locally roasted, which is always a nice bonus when you are deciding where to get your caffeine fix. I ordered an Americano, and while it was slightly weaker than what I am personally used to, it was still perfectly enjoyable. The kind of coffee you can sip slowly while pretending to be productive. I would have no problem ordering it again. They also offer a handful of bakery items, which make it an easy place to stop for a quick breakfast or mid-morning snack. Overall, it is a really pleasant little coffee shop with a unique location, good coffee values, and a relaxed vibe. Definitely worth stopping in if you are nearby and looking for a low-key place to grab a cup.

I am not allergic, so I asked for my side to contain dairy. The waitress brought the tiered plates and said, "Just a minute. Let me check that you have the correct side." She moved the plates around a bit and then said we were all set. Even with all of this, my daughter ended up with the dairy side. After she ate the food and began to feel ill, the waitress came back and said, "Oh you ate the side with dairy." She didn't seem to think it was a big deal. She just said, "Let me get your bill." I spoke to the lady at the door and told her the situation, saying I did not feel like I should have to pay the entire amount as neither of us got the food we were supposed to get. She said, "Let me see what I can do." She never came back to talk to me. The bill was cut in half. My daughter is also allergic to caffeine. The waitress did not know that "decafe" and "caffeine free" are two different things and that "decafe" does indeed have caffeine. My daughter was sick for an entire day of our vacation. This establishment really needs to be more careful with allergies. Thankfully my daugher's dairy allergy is not life threatening and she knew not to order decafe. But what if that were not the case?
