If you're lucky you'll miss a line but it's totally worth the wait. They are always very friendly and fast! Very helpful deciding what you want.

It is such a cool concept idea as 2 of the locations are small drive thru, like a backyard shed size. I was confused trying to find it at first because looking it up I didn't see what it would look like. The options for drinks are as endless as if you walked in to a coffee shop and they even have some breakfast food and bakery items on certain days. I pulled up 20 min to closing and was a little worried but I'm so grateful they weren't cleaning and closing everything up yet. The employee was the sweetest and made my drink super quick. Their seasonal options all sound so good and look amazing, I got the headless horseman and subbed the pumpkin whip cream for pumpkin cold foam. They are definitely Instagram worthy coffees!

I don't drink coffee, so I suppose my opinion about coffee places is a bit under-seasoned, but…read moreUnion Place seems like a good one. Super high ceilings, local art on the walls, comfortable seats, and friendly folks behind the counter. While I don't drink coffee, I was purchasing nine pounds of coffee (it's a stocking stuffer in our family) for other people. It seems like Union Place typically has an excellent and varied selection of different beans, but it was too close to Christmas and they were running low on it all. My friend came out from behind the counter, and helped my navigate what was still available. I got a lot of beans, they ground them for me for the right filters (while I sat in a very comfortable chair), and I was out of there. If you actually drink coffee, I bet you'll like this place even better than I do.

I had been meaning to order beans forever and was lucky enough to stumble upon their table at Prison City's winter market! I bought a light and a dark roast, whole beans and the were both amazing! It really makes a difference in the cup of coffee! I've always wanted to stop by for the $1 pour over (I'm not sure if they're still doing it anyway, but I envy those who have had this experience!). I also want to acknowledge the business owner; he really did a lot for the community in the early days of the pandemic and I'll never forget that. He still exudes positivity despite the many demands of small business ownership. Anyway, if you're in the area, stop by Crow city roasters! I believe you can also order online for pickup!

The owner of the place was so sweet! They no longer sell coffee due to covid but he was able to…read moresell me some freshly roasted coffee beans. For each bag, it was $8 for 8oz. Very good prices.

The premises gives off a cabin like vibe and is calming. They have produced coffee over 25 years and it definitely shows, I had their daily special cappuccino and it was aromatic and flavorful. I also had their lab dry wine rose paired with the lobster bagel and the combo was incredibly good. The owners also came out to socialize and we had a ton of fun. Definitely planning to visit in the future.

Maggie greeted me immediately and showed me around. In addition to the shortbread which is kept in a refrigerator case, there are Scottish collectibles, jewelry, and ground coffee for purchase (no whole beans at this time). They make several varieties of shortbread but stock was low (I think due to St Patrick's Day, even though that's Irish, idk). I bought the plain/regular and a Whiskey Pecan. Both were made fresh this week. Under the paper wrapper, the 8 "fingers" are wrapped in plastic for freshness. The cookies were light, not too dry and delicious. I could taste the Whiskey flavor but my hubby said it was barely there. Regardless, we both loved both cookies. I will be going back next week for the cranberry ones. I can't wait!
