Union Roasters • Coffee • Waffles

The coffee at Union Roasters was exceptional and undoubtedly the best I tasted in Coeur d'Alene during my visit. It's evident that they put a lot of care into crafting each cup. I even had the chance to watch an employee perfecting a new bean in the background while I ordered my latte.

The ambiance is visually appealing, and honestly, it's the best coffee I've ever tasted. It was so exceptional that I've decided to offer their cold brew in my own shop. The burrito was fantastic as well; I tried to take a picture of it, but it vanished before I could!

If you haven't tried their waffles yet, I highly recommend you do! They are a bit pricier, so I usually treat myself to one as a special indulgence, but it’s definitely worth every penny. As for the coffee, it’s good, although it’s not my absolute favorite in the area. Coffee preferences tend to vary widely, so I suggest you give it a try and form your own opinion!

Charming atmosphere and great coffee, but I wasn't a fan of the waffles. The batter has an unusual sweetness that doesn't appeal to me, and the texture is off. I was looking forward to trying a savory option, but the bacon waffles ended up being regular waffles drenched in a super sweet bacon syrup, which I found unappetizing and couldn't finish. It would be fantastic if they offered a sourdough or buttermilk batter, along with some savory mix-ins like cheese or bacon.

If you’re ordering a hemp milk latte with lavender, white chocolate, and a mix of other flavors, you really shouldn’t be critiquing coffee. You’ve muddled it up yourself! However, if you appreciate coffee in its pure form, without the distraction of syrups and hemp milk, this place is a great choice. Their waffles are also delicious, and the staff is consistently friendly, though they can be a bit shy at times.
