Best Cafe in Union City

Excellent one stop cafe for coffee, snack, dessert, or even an entire meal. On our family vacation to NYC, we stayed 1 block away from this cafe and stopped there multiple times. I realized we didn't get a picture of everything we ordered: coffee, pastries, and supper. For as small of a business as it is, they have a very large menu and everything we ordered was excellent! We ordered chicken Caesar salads and wraps one night late and they were the biggest and best we have ever had. Very fresh! I talked to the owner while we waited and said we were from the midwest and just starting our vacation. He was very nice, and provided a couple desserts on the house! The day we left to head back home we stopped in for coffee which was excellent, and thanked the owner for the good food and service. He told the kids to each pick a dessert, again on the house. I tried tipping him out of appreciation and he wouldn't accept. The place is a diamond in the rough in downtown N.J. and is worth stopping if you are in the area! To be halfway across the country in an area you've never been to, downtown N.J., late at night, and find a nice place with friendly staff and quality service was a highlight of our trip. He only has a couple employees so the wait is longer, so don't be in a rush when you stop. It is definitely worth it! Thank you for your generosity, hospitality, and making our trip memorable!

Visiting from Texas and I have got to say this was my favorite eating experience. Very welcoming and the food was amazing. Also the BEST coffee I have ever had. I got a vanilla latte, a HOMEMADE bagel, and a Moroccan pancake with honey and cream cheese. I highly recommend this cafe. It is limited seating for large groups there are a few bistro style seating.

The smoothie with dates was the best!!!! I rarely say this, but you must try it. Perfectly sweet, just right without any added sugar. The avocado toast was simply on point. The owner was super chill and hospitable too. Loved the vibes here.

I stop here on my way to the train to pick up something nice. Service is great and the woman behind the counter is always very kind! The chai latte is very good and has a strong flavor. The indoor seating areas are small but still very cozy. just a lovely cafe in journal square
