I love getting everything from cold brew to lattes, and I also buy their coffee beans to have at home. They also serve food here, and their sandwiches are perfect for beach lunches. The space is warm and inviting, and it's a great spot for hanging out or working. My husband and I love it here so much that we even took a few of our engagement photos here a couple years ago. So if you find yourself on the island, make sure you go here!

I was really looking forward to trying this place, especially with the long line out the door, but…read moreit didn't live up to the hype. When we arrived, there was a QR code on the door to scan the menu, so we took the time to look it over while waiting. After finally reaching the counter, we were told that the coffee drinks we wanted are only available on Sundays. It was confusing and frustrating if the menu is limited on certain days, there should be some kind of notice before customers wait in line. Feeling rushed because of the line behind us, we ended up ordering two nitro cold brews (one with sugar‑free vanilla). Unfortunately, both drinks tasted exactly the same and were nothing special. Honestly, I could've made something similar at home and saved the $15. There are definitely better coffee options in the area. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, there was plenty of seating, and the food and sandwiches looked decent. But overall, the experience just didn't match the expectations.

Love the coffee here and staff is friendly and helpful. They have great sandwiches too.read more

The market section itself is great, a fair amount of selections, and all seem to be pretty fresh. The bakery section displayed a number of pastries that looked really good (but I didn't try). However, the coffee missed the mark for me. I got an iced americano and it was pretty bitter/had a burnt flavor. I probably won't return for the coffee but will def visit again for the market and bakery.

She and the three kiddos come to visit us at the beach every year, but needless to say taking them out to eat can be a challenge! Everyone loved union market! They are not easy to please lol we went the day. They were flying back home and we had a lovely breakfast outside. Everybody was able to order smoothies eggs whatever they wanted lots of coffee and pastries and it just made a wonderful ending to a great trip. Yes it was busy but our servers were helpful and friendly. I am so happy we found this place the kiddos say can we go back there every time they come!

I want to make this update to give one of the owners, Erin, a shout out. She reached out to me…read moreafter reading my review and I can tell she took it seriously. We had an honest conversation and she assured me that they will be addressing the behavior and working towards preventing these kinds of issues in the future. She did not ask me to take down my previous review or make this update. All she did was take accountability for her staff, tried to get to the bottom of it, and looked to remedy the situation. This is truly an example how a business owner should behave and so kudos to you! I can tell from our interaction that she takes pride in her business and wants everyone to enjoy their time there. Although I still stand by my last review, I also want to edit my statement that I would never go back. I would give them a second try if I'm ever back in the area just based on how this situation was handled by management. Hoping that changes can be made positively in regard to service so it could match up with food/drinks and overall ambiance.

A Must-Visit Ice Cream Haven!…read more If you're anywhere near the area, do not miss a stop at Skipper Dipper an absolute gem of a spot that serves some of the best ice cream around. The star of the show? Their banana ice cream. It's rich, creamy, and packed with real banana flavour like a frozen slice of summer in every bite. Skipper Dipper is almost always busy, and for good reason. The line may be long, but it moves quickly, and the reward is more than worth the wait. The place buzzes with energy, and there's a fun, beachy vibe that makes it feel like a classic summer tradition. What really sets them apart is their range of incredible flavours from the nostalgic to the unexpected. Whether you're a purist or an adventurous taster, you'll find something to fall in love with. And the staff? Super friendly and efficient, even on the busiest nights. Skipper Dipper isn't just an ice cream stop it's an experience.

The staff, as always, couldn't have been nicer (tip your servers, folks! I forgot and had to go back in with cash because they are the nicest) and the ice cream was 10/10 per usual. My husband got vanilla soft serve and I got a cranberry chocolate swirl (my favorite) in a chocolate chip cone. Baby had nothing since she's too little. Worth every penny. Happy 48th year, SD! We're your biggest fans. See you in July or August for baby's first scoop of her own.

As someone that has been visiting since the original opening of Shore Good Donuts, I unfortunately…read morefeel like the quality of the food here has gone downhill. I ordered the inside-out jelly which was very disappointing. Not only was the donut itself very stale-tasting, but the hole in the donut was huge, so the moment I picked it up, all the jelly fell out and it was extremely messy and difficult to eat. If you're looking for good quality, fresh donuts, I don't think I'd recommend this place despite its location and convenience. There are many other better spots on the island worth the money.

It wasn't 'orangey' enough as my daughter said...so we were a little disappointed. Three of us got the orange-vanilla swirl, one got mint-vanilla, and one got chocolate -vanilla. Service was good, line moved quickly, and the inside hasn't seemed to change in years, but there was just something a little 'off' this year. We'll be back next year, but I hope they fix the problem by then.
