Union Cafe

Great food, typical diner food. Staff has always been great. There is not a ton of seating so plan ahead.

Stopped here for Sunday morning breakfast while visiting Schenectady. Great food, friendly staff, quick service. My wife loved her Belgian waffle ("light and fluffy") and my eggs/home fries/sausage/toast was excellent. Best breakfast sausage I've ever had. Nice place. Can eat outdoors in good weather. Don't miss this place!

Eggs cooked to perfection, light hollandaise, home fries were extremely tasty!!

I went to lunch the other day while I was working. I am a one on one aid for a girl with disabilities, and I like to get her out into the community during the day. We stopped by for lunch, and enjoyed the food. However while we were finishing up we began to hear loud screaming. It was evident a woman was yelling at a man in the back. It became so loud that all of the tables inside could hear, and customers were getting visibly annoyed. The girl I was with became very upset with all of the yelling and banging. I have worked in customer service for 6 years, and I can personally agree that there are situations where you can become upset with other employees, or customers. However there is a time and appropriate manner to handle it all, and it should not have been done with all of the customers to hear. I did not enjoy the atmosphere after the fact, and will try out other businesses.

Small dining room, so there might be a wait. We were actually seated immediately. There is outdoor seating, but it was raining this morning. Quaint cafe. Friendly staff, and super efficient. Tv to watch. Clean restrooms. Nice menu. I had super tasty fried potatoes with ham and eggs over easy. I think this was the most perfect over easy egg I've had. Coffee was just typical cafe coffee, but good enough for a refill. The staff is what makes this cafe stand out.

The Union Cafe is a great place for lunch. My husband and I have lunch there every few weeks. He likes breakfast fare while I like the chef salad. The food is hot and delicious, and the servers are friendly and attentive. The owners are often found in the dining room greeting and seating. There is outdoor seating if you want to watch the traffic go by. It is often crowded, so timing is important to find a seat. Enjoy!

It was tasty and the staff was friendly. My gyro had a very little bit of very thin meat on it, which was disappointing. I could taste the unripe tomatoes and onion more than the meat. The fries were slightly crisp, which I enjoyed.

Great food, fast, and extremely friendly staff with impeccable service! Huge thanks to Jess, the owner, for introducing herself and talking with us for a bit during her busy morning! And If you are a Schenectady local you're almost guaranteed to run into a friend or two at the Union Cafe!

This is a WONDERFUL local cafe located off of Upper Union St. If you're in the mood for REAL Greek diner fare, this is the spot to go!

•Cute & clean environment
•Friendly waitstaff
•Consistent menu that is not too large
•Authentic Greek food
•Owned & run by real Greeks (nice recipes!)

I harp on the Greek food because after living in both Athens and on the island of Ios, it has been hard to find a diner that has excellent tzatziki. 👌

Their deli sandwhiches are hearty and their french fries 🍟 are so hot and fresh from the fryer that the outsides are bubbly and crackled. Absolutely delicious.

Prices are decent and spot on for the area. Great for breakfast and lunch. Gluten free and vegetarian 🌱 options marked appropriately on their menu.

Room for improvement on their desserts, coffee, and parking - 🚘🚗 - heads up, is located mostly in the back of the building. It can be tricky to navigate in busy traffic or if you have difficulty walking so look carefully.

Great Food , Great Staff . Great atmosphere. I Highly recommend for breakfast .
