Crema's Take

“The owner's hands-on presence and exceptional breakfast sandwiches make Union Cafe feel like a genuine neighborhood anchor rather than just another coffee spot. Everything here is made fresh—eggs cooked to order on the griddle, pastries that actually taste homemade—and the natural light streaming through the corner windows makes it an inviting place to linger or grab and go. Fair warning: the coffee itself is solid but not exceptional, so come for the food and hospitality above all.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

Walked in to get a breakfast sandwich for the first time and it was excellent! The owner made good conversation and the food absolutely did not disappoint! Definitely my new spot for breakfast and definitely will be back to try the lunch menu!

Union Cafe is my favorite spot downtown for coffee, sandwiches, wraps and baked goods. Everything is always fresh and delicious. The owner is very friendly and welcoming too. Highly recommend!

Nice breakfast/lunch spot on the corner with great windows letting in the natural light, accompanied by excellent service from the owner and others! And the food is spectacular worth a shot!

Had a great caramel brewed coffee.. and they made me a fantastic breakfast quickly. No microwave eggs either... hot right off the griddle. Super welcoming folks.. and as I sat and ate - I watched them work like a machine and get people hot food and coffee out the door. And oh..…

Cute café with a nice ambience and friendly staff, conveniently located near the train station. They have clearly marked vegan options, which is great. Unfortunately, the coffee was below average, especially for the nearly $9 price tag.
