lil’ dove cafe
589 Palisade Ave, Union City, NJ
Crema's Take
“Lil' Dove is a tiny gem in Union City where creative seasonal drinks like their standout Gingerspice Latte shine just as much as the genuinely warm baristas behind the counter. The intimate, beautifully decorated space feels like stepping into a friend's living room, complete with thoughtfully curated gift items and an atmosphere that encourages lingering over coffee with someone you care about. This is the kind of place that makes you wish you'd discovered it sooner.”

I had a wonderful time at Lil’ Dove! The Gingerspice Latte was delicious and one of the best coffee beverages I’ve had in a while. The baristas were very friendly and fun to talk to. I also got a Chicken Avo sandwich that was very tasty. Compliments to the chef. I will definitely be back!
Amazing place ! Coffee is so good, food as well. Such nice girls on the counter. Sad I found this place too late :( Highly highly recommend!!!!
Absolutely loved lil dove! The place is pretty small - there are maybe 5-6 tables pretty close together but it’s a vibe inside and they’ve got a nice curated collection of gifts to buy. Overall - coffee was solid and we loved their breakfast sandwiches. Will be back!
Very cute little place. The decoration is beautiful, the ambience is extraordinary and the coffee was good. They sell some nice lil items (bit expensive in my opinion but very cute) Even when you have your coffee in, it's served in a paper cup. I enjoy it better in a ceramic cup but hey this might be an American thing. I think having the coffee in a paper cup changes the taste of the coffee. The 3 girls at the till were super smiley and friendly. Pet friendly also which is a plus ❤️. All in all I totally recommend this place.
Ticked off another café from my bucket list. This place is actually small and one can easily miss it if not aware about the surroundings. The ambience is really cute and the staff was friendly. I had ordered a cappuccino and the coffee felt above average. Could have had a bit of bold taste since it was cappuccino but overall liked the vibe of the place. Looking to try out more menu items in the future!
