Really fun vibes and great service, but the drinks were okay, not great. Chai latte was good but didnt really taste like chai more like cinnamon. Really fun space though.
Lots of vegan options, also might be the best espresso I’ve had in a latte in a really long time. I love this cafe.
Pet friendly. Very good iced americano.
Baristas definitely take pride in their work. I go out of my way to the bicycle shop in Lambertville, Pure Energy Cycling. I drop my Orbea off for excellent service and always hike over to Union Coffee. It never disappoints!
Fine banana bread and excellent people watching in this small coffee shop. Coffee portions are a bit small and seating is limited. Highly recommended but also crowded. Never disappointed with the price or service.
Great place. Coffee shops like they used to be once. You will think you are back in Seattle where it all started. music on Sundays as i hear it .
Good location and pleasant décor as well as staff. This was my second time there. My wife enjoyed a mocha and my daughter liked her chai latte as well (although the latter came from a box). However, I found the expresso lacking. The barista technique was competent so I have to chalk it up to whatever roasted bean they used. It was more bitter than an authentic espresso, even a dark roast. So, I'd recommend for coffee, or a mixed beverage but not a good option for a straight expresso.
Stopped by for a mid day pick me up. I love matcha because coffee hurts my tummy. I got an iced matcha latte with lavender and vanilla syrup. Would 111000% recommend!
We visited on a Friday morning and it was mobbed. Coffee was very good and baked goods were great. Cute little shop, we'll be back.
This is a lovely cafe and the espresso is top notch. If you want real espresso in any of its manifestations, this is your place. The caveat is, apparently, to get your espresso before the start of the last hour of the day there. I recently stopped in around 4:00 on day where Union closes at 5:00. It was busy, but not overly so, and we got a nice table by the window. When I heard my drink called, I went up to the counter and was handed my cortado in a paper cup. Thinking this was a mistake, (everyone sitting around was drinking from ceramic cups, and there was a pile of fresh ceramic cups on top of the espresso machine) I offered that I had not ordered to go. I was told that "after four, we only use paper cups to spare the dishwasher." This is disappointing (and also odd), as the quality of the espresso is so good that it made the taste of the paper cup all that more present. As a friend put it, would a restaurant suddenly start serving on paper plates simply because it was the last hour they were open? One would bet not. Why people who order in the last hour are not permitted the same experience of the espresso, not afforded the same experience as people who paid for the same thing just minutes earlier, is not clear at all. It used to be that businesses were open, then did the clean up after closing. Very disappointing for such outstanding espresso. If you go, be sure to get there in time to not only order, but to receive, you espresso before the beginning of the closing hour. If I'd wanted my espresso in a paper cup, I would have ordered it to go.
I’ve been here a couple times, but was really turned off by a recent visit. The self service station with straws, cup holders, etc. was completely empty and when I had asked the baristas if they had anymore napkins and straws they told me to turn around. I was only asking because there’s none left..it didn’t help that they treated everyone else really nicely and as the only minority in the cafe at the time..they couldn’t give me the light of day.
Delightful neighborhood spot with delicious coffee and tasty baked goods.
Mmm...mocha
They share my values and my love of coffee.
We had really great coffee, hot coco, bagels, some pastries and avocado toast. Great location. Ample seating. Awesome staff. Will be back. Carolyn is the best.
Great coffee and atmosphere. Loved it.
Coffee is very good. The service can be a bit chaotic and forgetful but they more than make up for it with their charm.
Great coffee, felt like a party inside!
Union Coffee is the vibe. Lambertville is very lucky to have such a great coffee shop.
Love this place! Great coffee and nice atmosphere! Today, I had what may well be the best latte I have ever had!
