The bakery has garnered rave reviews thus far, with a five-star rating out of four reviews on Yelp.
Maura V., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on Aug. 10, wrote, "The butter croissant is their signature for a reason, ultra buttery and very flaky. The Videri chocolate was stuffed with the namesake's delicious dark chocolate, which I appreciated very much."
And MK K. wrote, "I had the brunch salad, and it was one of the best meals of my life! The slingshot cold brew on tap was also a great treat."
Union Special is now open, so swing on by to take a peek.
