Alonso's Cafe
348 North Ave, Union City, NJ
Crema's Take
“This Union City gem has earned its perfect 5-star rating by doing the fundamentals beautifully—their house-made syrups elevate even simple drinks into something special, and regulars rave about consistency that keeps them coming back multiple times a week. What really sets Alonso's apart is the warmth of the experience: staff greet you with genuine smiles, help you navigate creative flavor combinations like their cinnamon bun latte with vanilla cold foam, and somehow make every visit feel like the start of a good day. Between their excellent cold brew, seasonal specialties, and fresh pastries, it's the kind of place that transforms from a coffee stop into a beloved neighborhood ritual.”

A friend of mine recommended this spot and I’ll tell you, it’s one of the best coffee spots I’ve been to! Their syrups are house made and it’s makes a difference, I got the teddy graham one and it tasted just like the real thing! Their staff is highly efficient and it’s no wonder why I see so many people come here! Will definitely be returning!
I’ve been coming here a lot lately and every single drink has been amazing. Probably the best and most consistent coffee shop in the area. The employees are really friendly too.
When I come to this café in the morning, it feels like the whole day will go well. The staff always greet you with warm smiles :) Every coffee here is excellent, and today I tried the seasonal Praline coffee. Its gentle sweetness paired with a rich coffee bitterness was absolutely perfect! The bakery items are always amazing as well. On this Christmas Eve, I enjoyed a truly special breakfast with my husband.
Best cafe in the area! The staff is so wonderful and helped me pick flavor combinations that would be best in my iced coffee! I ended up going with the cinnamon bun latte with vanilla cold foam. The atmosphere is so cute and homey. Favorite place to come on a Sunday!
Been coming here for almost a year almost 5-4 times a week, even two times a day and on top of that I get four coffee almost every time I go not all me tho.Safe to say it’s more than an addiction it’s an obsession. They make coffee an art with their unique flavor. Everyone that works there knows what they are doing and are so so sweet and caring will continue to support and give them allllll my money
