    Caramel Machiato
    Yvonne B.

    I am SO impressed and delighted by Union Café! It's right off the bus stop and a perfect place for a refreshing drink (all the coffees, smoothies and bubble drinks), beautiful pastries, sandwiches and breakfast foods. The owners were working the counter and super friendly and welcoming. The space had three marble top counters and was clean. I ordered an iced caramel machiato and it is truly hitting the spot. It is so delicious and creamy that I was immediately inspired to write this review! I see that Union Café has catering too! I would say that Union Café is perfect for a to-go order, a place to meet a friend, or (like me) a pleasant spot for a drink while reading a book or writing a letter.

    My mom and I have made sure to stop by this local cafe to support family owned businesses. Every time we are greeted by the amiable owners who mention how they are expanding the items on their menu. In addition to their delicious breakfast wraps and muffins from gingerbread house, they will be offering Richardson's ice cream from Middleton as well as sandwiches made on their newly installed oven. A little pricey but considering everything is purchased locally or made in house, I'd say it's worth it. Indoor seating area is small but there are a few additional tables outside as the weather warms up. I will definitely be returning to try more meals from here.

    This place is a gem. Consistently great (and quick) service and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Food is made to order and I've yet to have a bad meal on this menu. Coffee's great too!

    ***ALERT-WARNING TO ALL CUSTOMERS/PATRONS OF UNION CAFE, UNION ST-CENTRAL SQ. LYNN, MA*** First and foremost, I want to apologize for not being able to post this sooner. Incident occurred AUGUST 11th. MY BIRTHDAY ! I have visited this establishment, Union Cafe, Union St., central Sq. Lynn, many, many times for breakfast. Have taken my mom several times for breakfast. I usually get the same, the #2, posted in the picture, always "no bacon please ". ALWAYS. Also, 2- Espressos, one for now and the other when I get my Breakfast sandwich, no bacon . And usually leave with the "Green" smoothie. I have have tried their grilled paninis posted and other smoothies. Have always been satisfied; reason for my return patronage. This particular day, The owner was at the POS cash register, not the usual ladies, I interact with for ordering. This particular day, August 11th (My Birthday) for some reason, I was ordering not as quickly as my prior visits. I noticed the owner was charging me an extra $1.00 for my usually #2, no bacon. I asked him, why is he charging me $8.99 instead of the posted price of $7.99? He said, because I want Avocado . I said, yessss, it's part of the ingredients listed on Your Breakfast Sandwich board! He continues, if I want avocado, it's an extra $1.00. So I ask him, how is a customer supposed to know if they want to pay the extra money for an ingredient listed on #2, on Your sandwich board. He said we always ask if a person wants avocado. NOOOOOO, because I've come here plenty of times, and have never been asked if I want to be charged extra for listed items. Then of course, now he's getting rude and defensive because he is in the wrong. He was like well do you want it or not. I said well I'm here and I came here to eat. He charged me the extra money, MIND YOU HE DIDNT DEDUCT FOR MY "NO BACON "! Again, who knows how many times, they have done this to me and Other customers. And who knows what other items are they charging extra for items already listed as part of the Posted Items! And icing that day, I asked for a "Mango" smoothie, yea right. Thanks for the Mango Slush! Let the ladies make the SMOOTHIES! I haven't been back since! And it's to bad, because I really loved my #2, no bacon. Now their food is amazing! Not criticizing the food.

    Shaved ribeye steak and cheese on ciabatta

    It's often debated locally, "who has the best steak and cheese?" I can now say, undoubtedly, it's the Union Cafe's shaved ribeye steak and cheese. I ordered mine with mayo and hot peppers on toasted ciabatta bread. The steak is juicy and melts in your mouth. The ciabatta is soft and makes for an easy bite. The owners are extremely welcoming and nice. Can't wait to go back and try some more sandwiches!

    I'm here visiting from CA and there are a few cafes and coffee shops in my neighborhood, but I stumbled across Union Cafe and I've been hooked ever since. Each morning I take a stroll and end up in this paradise of sweet treats and delicious coffee. After a few visits I decided to try out the pancake breakfast. Chefs kiss! Their food menu is extensive enough to dine in for breakfast or lunch, and if you want a fluffy sweet dessert you can stop by before they close in the evening. The staff are so cool. Friendly, attentive and all around cool people. This is my coffee shop of choice when I'm in town.

    The owner is very rude and arrogant. Food is good, a little pricey but good. He just needs to work on his people skills

    My friends and I came to this cutesy small shop to grab coffee/brekky prior to our day in Salem…read more Looks like they have 2 locations. One in Salem MA and one in Beverly MA. Parking- didn't see a dedicated lot, looks like street parking only. We found a spot down the street, walkable distance. Looks like we made the right choice, because the place was poppin. Lots of folks coming in & out. We were lucky enough to snag a table for the group while some of the group stayed in line. I noted several groups of ladies with cute witchy style outfits very fitting for Salem, that could def be OOTD worthy on IG. Service- seemed fine. My friends ordered for me at the counter while I held down our table, so I can't speak to the ordering interaction. They were speaking names out very low for pick up at the counter, I remember that. Food- I got the North Shore sammy - which comes with maple bacon, over medium egg, chedder cheese, maple aoili on a croissant. The egg was runny just what I like, and it was yummy and bigger than I imagined. Very filling. I could have just split one with my friends, but everyone got there own. So I left more full than I wanted, because I didn't want to take away. Drink- I got a latte, that was fine, nothing to write home about. If visiting this charming town try it out. I saw mostly tourist, so don't think it's a locals hang out. But it's not a trap luckily, lol.

    Found this little gem on TikTok and I am so glad that we came! All of us couldn't decide what we…read morewanted, so we tried a couple of different options. We tried the North Shore, Whole Hog (on a bed of tots), and the bacon egg and cheese! We also got 2 side orders of tots. I loved all the food, every bite I took was delish! There tots were hot and crispy and well seasoned also. For the coffee I went with the signature "The Crave", which was so delightful. I got it with oat milk and it was smooth and delish as well! The inside of the place is just a cute hip vibe. It's a smaller cafe with some seating along one of the wall of window, and then they have some tables. Right when we arrived, every table was packed, but by the time our food arrived, tables opened up, which was nice. It seemed that most people would turnover the table quickly to allow for others to sit. The staff were super friendly and patient, and all around great place to have breakfast in Salem!
