Location: One of the things that makes Shake Shack Union Station unique is that it is one of the few locations that offers breakfast. When the powers to be decided to open up shop at Union Station they wanted to cater to the traveling crowd. That being said, it opens at 7am and it offers breakfast until 10:30am. No more hangry train/bus trips to New York City! Just as any Shake Shack it is always packed! Don’t let the long line scare you! It moves pretty fast!
Food: Although I’ve eaten plenty of times at Shake Shack, it was my first time trying the breakfast menu. I had the sausage egg, and cheese sandwich. They use the same buns as the burgers, sausage is juicy, and the cheese is perfectly melted. Delicious. The restaurant serves hot coffee but also serves Stumptown Cold Brew. This cute little carton reminiscent of a chocolate milk carton but it is a delicious cafe au lait. A must try…
The verdict: I know I am preaching to the choir here… but if you haven’t tried breakfast at Shake Shack Union Station, book that Amtrak or Bolt to NYC as an excuse to indulge. What is your favorite travel eats place? I’m excited to see what other goodies I can find in airports, hotels, and train stations around the world!
