Charming Strathcona cafe-bakery with standout Portuguese egg tarts, friendly service, and a heated patio; coffee and sandwiches are good though options can be limited and cash is not accepted.
Union Market delivers reliable neighborhood cafe quality through exceptional house baking—particularly Pastel de Nata and sourdough—paired with warm, efficient service and a charming heated patio setting. Consistent execution across visits supports its loyal following, though limited seating, occasional sandwich variability, and a cashless-only policy prevent it from reaching higher distinction. A solid local favorite that exceeds typical cafe standards.
One caveat: Vegan food choices can be absent on some days; ask before committing
