I was able to check this spot out while working in the area. It's in a small minimall, not sure how to describe it. Several businesses are located in one spot. There is a parking garage not far and street parking. I like that they have a space you can work from. I got a chai tea while there. It was good. I enjoyed the atmosphere. Staff was friendly. I will definitely return when in the area to support. My drink was good. It was conveniently located and they have room if you want to work from there. read more

I stopped into Union Street Cafe for an early lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. There were a few other tables occupied, but I was able to seat myself. It wasn't long before my server was over with a bottle of water and a glass full of ice. The reason I came here was because there was a salad listed on the menu that just sounded very refreshing for the hot summer afternoon. I ordered the chop salad with grilled chicken and it was out to me, perfectly plated, in about 5 minutes. The salad was delicious and the chicken was flavorful and hot. The restaurant is small and bright with tons of natural lighting. The bathroom is small, unisex, kind of dark and dim, and a little dingy. My server wasn't the most friendly and she didn't come back to my table after she dropped off the food. I had to go up to the front to ask for a side of dressing. I'd still recommend the restaurant and go back hoping for a different server. read more

Dined here on a Thursday am after my niece's graduation. We ordered breakfast & a burger. The burger & fries were good. The grits were not for me & the breakfast potatoes could use a bit more seasoning. The mimosas were good & a generous pour. The service was great. read more

Excellent vibe. The music choices were top tier. Loved the waffle. It came with a pile of whipped cream. The star of the show were the jalapeño white cheddar grits. They were so good! The eggs and coffee were also delicious. I love the water bottles. Check out their May specials. They have outdoor dining. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area again. read more

I have been meaning to take a stroll in Downtown Concord and check out all the local shops. Finally got a chance to have a nice local breakfast. Service was nice, quick and friendly. I ordered scrambled eggs, toast and potatoes. My daughter had the blueberry pancakes that she enjoyed. Such a nice place to sit and relax with a strong cup of coffee. Sit by the window and just gaze out and relax! read more

This was some of the best brunch I've had in a while. Everything was seasoned very well. My mimosa tasted good. I still wonder what the sweet tea mimosa taste like maybe one day I'll go back and try it. The food was very good and filling the menu was extensive so I can't wait to go back one day and try something else on the menu and you can definitely tell that this is a scratch kitchen restaurant so everything came out fresh and hot. Our waitress was very good and attentive. They also have outdoor seating if you would like to catch a breeze on a nice day 10 out of 10 recommend read more

A friend and I tried out Union Street Cafe one weekday for brunch and really enjoyed it! The waitresses were extremely welcoming and attentive and made sure we had what we needed. I ordered the chilaquiles and my friend got chicken and waffles. The chilaquiles were delicious! (Be sure to not let it settle for too long or the tortillas start to get a little soggy). They were a little spicier than expected, but I enjoy spice. If you do not like spicy, I would not recommend. My friend enjoyed her chicken and waffles and felt the chicken was well seasoned and the waffle was tasty! Overall, it was a pleasant experience in downtown Concord and I would come back! read more

Usually love this place! I've never tried their biscuits and gravy so I figured I'd give them a shot. They were huge, covered in a delicious sausage gravy. The only complaint I had was they did not taste fresh, very dense and kind of Luke warm. I did notice while waiting for the bathroom that there were some biscuits sitting in plastic wrap in a plastic storage tub in their pantry.. they probably reheat to order, which isn't a problem unless they aren't hot like mine. Everything tasted really good it's just the temperature that was a miss. I will be back but will probably skip on the biscuits. read more

Came to union street Cafe on a Sunday morning, and it was the cutest little Cafe that has a few tables on the inside and nice outdoor seating as well. The café is small but airy at the same time which is nice! We were greeted immediately upon arriving and got to select our own seating. We sat by the window and it was a vibe. Our waitress was really sweet and offered a few recommendations since I had informed her that this was our first time coming. I did have to ask for a kids menu for my son though as it was not provided when we were seated. I'm happy I asked because there was a drastic difference in the prices! I ordered the biscuits and gravy (that includes an egg prepared how you like) which was suggested by our waitress, I wanted breakfast potatoes as well so ordered a side of those as well. My son ordered a waffle off the kids menu which only came with a drink so we had to order a side of bacon. For his drink, he got lemonade. Our food didn't take too long to come out, I overheard one of the other waitresses tell her table that the food is made fresh to order from scratch so, that's good to know. I was not impressed with the biscuits and gravy, it was a bit bland and that's probably because the biscuits are massive and in my opinion need way more gravy. The dish was not hot and the gravy was to thick so the consistency was off putting. The potatoes were piping hot and delicious, it was just way to much food... I hate reheated potatoes so when asked if I wanted a to go box for them, I declined. My son said his waffle was just okay, and made it a point to say he preferred waffle house waffles over this one. He ate it all though so, there's that! My waitress clearly seen that I had hardly touched my food and asked me if I wanted a to go box, I politely declined, but here's my issue, she didn't ask me if I was satisfied with my meal, I clearly was not but there was no inquiry as to why I barely touched my food and was not willing to take it with me. They missed the mark there. I did paid my tab through the QR code and they do ask via a survey on the web about your experience and I left my feedback there, but I'm disappointed that my waitress didn't care to ask. Also, my son didn't drink his lemonade because it was sickly sweet, I tried a sip and boy oh boy was it sweet, we tried diluting it with water and it was still to sweet, imagine how sweet something has to be for a child to reject it! Yes, I still tipped her. They have an interesting menu, so I'd be willing to come back and try something different! read more

The staff were kind and friendly! It was a great atmosphere. Although with the July special--the catfish sandwich i felt the bread was too tough for the catfish. I couldn't cut through the bread with a knife. The catfish was cooked well but ended up falling apart making the sandwich just too hard to eat with your hands. read more

My daughter and I wanted to try something different and I've been wanting to explore more on my side of town, so we found Union Street Cafe. We were both immediately drawn to pictures of the Strawberry Crunch pancakes and wanted to try it. As soon as we entered, we were greeted and seated quickly. The atmosphere and vibes were amazing, music was a mixture of pop and R&B, and everyone was friendly. The menu had some great options so it was hard to choose but I ordered the Strawberry Crunch Pancakes, Jalapeño White Cheddar grits, bacon, and eggs. Everything was AMAZING!!!! I don't like spicy food and the grits was not spicy at all! As you see in the picture, I couldn't even eat all of this and took some home, but I would recommend everyone to at least visit very soon! I'm going back and plan on ordering lunch. I was able to look at someone else's table and the burger looked delicious and very filling! read more

The chorizo bowl is diced potatoes, chorizo and topped with two eggs. It is spicy perfection. My mother ordered the blueberry pancake stack with a side of bacon. Of course I had a few bites and I must say it was mouthwatering. The blueberries pop in your mouth full of flavor. The bacon was also cooked perfectly crispy, but not hard. Our server was fast, friendly, and attentive There are two different sections to eat. We were on the level up by the front windows. I love the fact that it's all windows with a view of Main Street in downtown. We'll be back when I'm in town visiting family. I unfortunately accidentally deleted my wonderful photos. As I thought I had already did this review. read more

This was my first time going to this brunch breakfast area come to find out. It's around the corner from my job. I came here with my husband to have breakfast and it was pretty good. The French toast was the best with the fried chicken and the bacon, not a big fan of the grits or the chorizo with potatoes, but overall the food was pretty good. read more

The food was pretty good and fulfilling. The place is nice and clean. The staff were nice too. The food took a little less than 15 mins to come out. The potatoes were my favorite, definitely something to share. The waffles were good, not too sweet though. Overall everything was good and the ranch is also very good!! read more

We stopped by for breakfast and were so glad we did! We tried the jalapeño grits with collards, the egg scramble, and the French toast. all three were incredibly delicious and full of flavor. You can really tell everything is made to order. Our waitress, Kim, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. We chose to sit outside to enjoy the nice weather -- aside from a few flies, it was the perfect way to start the day. Highly recommend this spot for its fresh, flavorful dishes and outstanding service! read more

We wanted to love this place so much, unfortunately the food was the issue here. For everything to be made from scratch is a mystery to me. The potatoes were very dry and not good not cooked on the flat top why. I ordered a plain biscuit and they brought me one that was split and put on the griddle. Made it taste like dirty metal and inedible. The fruit cup was just blueberries and cut up strawberries. Okay fine but tell me that first. I was expecting at least 3-4 different fruits. My wife, a pancake expert thinks they forgot a couple ingredients in the pancake batter. They were not good. read more

great leave for comfort essentials! Servive is exceptional. FYI they do close at 2pm on Sunday!

I've been exploring downtown Concord a lot lately and I always walk past this place but today I decided to swing by with the fam. We got there around 10:40 am (Saturday) and there were some seats available for our party of 3. We were seated very fast and given our menus. Andrea who was our server was very nice! I ended up ordering the ham, eggs and potatoes, my daughter ordered from the kids menu and had the ham and cheese sandwich w/ fruit and my girlfriend ordered the chicken and Waffles. We didn't have to wait long for our food to arrive , my daughter was kept occupied coloring on the paper menu for kids. My plate looked delicious! All the plates did actually. The ham was huge and I went to WORK on that thing. My girlfriend said the chicken was seasoned very good and my daughter tore up her ham and cheese sandwich. I already know imma be back. read more

My partner loved the chicken and waffle. OJ was good too. Highly recommend. Will definitely plan to go back. Waitress was great. Very kind and attentive. Good vibes! read more

This is one of the few breakfast spots in the older downtown area of Concord. The area is being revitalized as many smaller downtowns are replicating to stimulate more business and activities after a dormant period. The place is clean, only 1 restroom in the back. Coffee is very good, nice aroma and texture. I ordered the scramble with wheat toast. It wasn't bad but needed a side of ham or bacon that I didn't think would be necessary. Service is very good and friendly. I believe I should have picked another entrée compared to my first selection. I will return back in the next few months and hopefully will upgrade my Yelp rating. read more

Biscuit quality varies; once was PERFECT! Next time, not at all.apparently varies due to time spent in the oven.so, varies depending upon the baker.this is an easy fix.

The best fried chicken sandwich Ive ever had!! Fries are fresh cut and perfectly prepared. Fast and friendly service

If you are a person of color, don't eat here. The hostess that worked Saturday March 28 was clearly racist to our group. We didn't get a chance to eat but was looking forward to it. Went and spent $300 for better service. read more

We were visiting Concord and decided to try the Union Street Cafe. Luckily we arrived right before it started to get crowded (9:50am) on Sunday and we were not disappointed. The service was great, the server was so accommodating with everything we asked for and the food was so so delicious! I usually don't eat breakfast but the splurge was worth every calorie. The egg sandwich was wonderful and my friends had the grits, pancakes, and classic breakfast. We also split a carafe of mimosas. Great experience! I would definitely go back. Enjoy! read more

Food, service, clean! Breakfast was delicious! Sidewalk seating! We'll be back for sure!

Excellent DT Concord, NC Cafe, made from scratch for breakfast or lunch. I had a traditional breakfast w home made biscuits, eggs and bacon and home potatoes. Also their homemade salsa is fabulous! If they made their own Jam or Orange Marmalade I wud give them a 5+++! Service was spectacular too- Kirsten was sweet friendly and helpful when ordering. read more

This place is mediocre at best. It took a while to get our food and I was expecting piping hot and it was warm. My chicken sandwich had a couple of yucky spots so I lost interest in it. The fries are fresh cut but still weren't piping hot. My husband tried to get the lamb burger but they were out. He got a beef burger instead and he said that it was just meh. I don't have to go back. The best part was watching the people pass by on Union Street. read more

Amazing food and a friendly staff. Nenu standouts include the biscuits and gravy, chicken and waffles, and breakfast burrito, all of which had us coming back again and again. I was a little underwhelmed with the pancakes, which were good but nothing special. Notably, they serve the best coffee in town! read more
