Ye Olde Town Starbucks!

Starbucks 

201 Main Street

Unionville, ON L3R 2G8

I was looking for the nearest Starbucks with the Starbucks app's store locator and found this little gem. 

What makes this store different is that it's located on Unionville's famous Main Street. Being a historical landmark, this Starbucks received the olde town treatment. 

Inside, this Starbucks had a welcoming atmosphere as if you were home.  Having 2 floors, this place had ample seating littered with cozy couches and tables.  

It was busy during my visit. While the staff were friendly, they seemed inexperienced and inefficient. It took me over 10 minutes to get my order. 

Despite the slow service, it was a great place to relax and get some coffee.
