What people say, in short
Motoring Coffee on Union is a coffee shop that people recommend for its distinctive character and cool atmosphere. One visitor has always enjoyed the matcha and cappuccino and likes the Minor Figures oat milk the shop carries. A commenter heard secondhand that the coffee is only so-so while the ambience is nice, and another suggests it makes a fun weekend outing rather than a go-to coffee stop. One person notes that lattes cost the same whatever milk you choose, which they frame as the cheaper option.
