“Absolutely blown away by Union Cafe in Lynn! 🔥

I grabbed a sandwich and wow — it was massive, packed with flavor, and every single bite was straight-up delicious. You can taste the love in every layer. If you’re anywhere near Lynn and haven’t tried this spot yet, you’re seriously missing out.

Great vibes, killer food, and portions that don’t play around. Go hungry — you’ll leave happy. 🙌🥪

Don’t walk, run.“

“The food was amazing! We had the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and the sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich both with gluten free bread. The bread was delicious and held together well. The consistency was perfect compliment. The portions were a large size as well!“

“Not much more to say that OUTSTANDING!! he food is delicious, abundant, varied, signature to them in tastes and styles, affordable, local, fresh - and served/prepared by an amazing crew!! It's a tiny place, which you would think would discourage many. But not here!! That should tell you something. Not only is there a line out the door for 'to-go' ordering, but people filing in and out who ordered ahead - not to mention those ]like myself] willing to wait - cramped - patiently awaiting a seat to open in order to dine in. Ya, to some it might seem more hassle than the hype. But I say the hassle is because the hype is true!! Anything worth having is worthy a bit of struggle to get it. JAC's is an excellent example of that! Thank you to the entire crew for all you do, your hard work and dedication to quality shines through!“

“Best place ever Always feel comfortable and safe when I am here“

“Very friendly and cheerful staff. Great coffee and sandwiches.“

“Great local place for breakfast, cold brew, smoothies, pupsicles, or a light lunch!“

“stopped on our vacation to Boston while exploring in Salem! such a cute little shop!! our drinks were perfection!! I got a something seasonal coconut brulee? we also had a caramel latte both were delicious! amazing Boba selection too!!“

“Delicious food!! Like wow the tots and the sandwiches are next level. Pepper jelly and homemade garlic bread made for a real good day. Busy but cool vibe as well in there. And I need to try a loaded croissant. They were busy but my only complaint is still just how long we waited for our food. Even our drinks too. It was like table service restaurant wait times. But still worth it in the end with how tasty it is“

“I reached out to Simone for a picnic setup for our gender reveal. I wanted it to be a surprise for my husband. Oh boy, we were blown away by the decor and arrangements! It was absolutely adorable, with the perfect blue and pink theme throughout. The veggie panini sandwich and flatbread were delicious too! Most importantly, Simone was such a kind, sweet, smiling soul, she truly made the evening feel magical and unforgettable. Highly recommend!“

“What a gem for the town of Swampscott. Stopped in today, finally! Coffees, specialty drinks, breakfast sandwiches, açaí bowels, protein balls, SO HARD TO CHOOSE! So we got a little of everything, and we were NOT disappointed. Thank you Sweet Java for a great morning.“

“Everything is delish.. everything bagel w smoked salmon, cream cheese. Capers...yum
Singing beach turkey sandwich keeps me from ordering anything
else because soo good. Avocado toast was perfect as well. On a side note, I left my wallet on the counter, and they saved it for me!“

“We recently hired Googans to cater for a celebration of life. We kept it simple with a cheese and veggie platter, sandwiches and sweets- finger food. Everything was absolutely delicious! People were raving about how good the sandwiches and desserts were. I absolutely recommend for catering and also to stop in their shop for breakfast and/or lunch. We were very happy with our whole experience with Googan’s.“

“How anyone could give this place a bad review makes no sense to me. You've probably already read from the other reviews that the staff is incredible, but truly -- they are. They are so kind and welcoming to every single person that comes in. Aside from that, the coffee is AMAZING! They have so many different flavors to choose from and you can customize any drink however you like (even if it's not on the menu). Also, the breakfast sandwiches... wow. Get 'The Stallion', just trust me. Prices are completely reasonable. Honestly, no other coffee place I've been to even compares. I'll be a longtime customer!“

“Large menu selection and the food was good. Gets very busy during lunchtime.
Only complaint that I have was we ordered our food and coffee, they told me they were brewing fresh coffee and would take 6 minutes.
Took much longer than that since the machine had an error and no one told us about the problem. We finished our meals and then asked what happened to our coffee and they then noticed that the coffee machine did not brew.
Small complaint, but was annoying with poor communucation with customers in a timely manner.
We will go back though.“

“What can I say other than magical?! We were fortunate enough to host my son’s 11th birthday party in the back room (The kids loved the secret hidden entrance through the bookcase). Tons of great games for all ages and the food was fantastic! Literally everything we had was gourmet quality and up to my foodie 11 year-old’s standards. We will definitely be back if not just for the food!“

“I tried the cinnamon coffee muffin this morning...fabulous! It was moist & flavorful & paired well with my hot & delicious java. I'll definitely be back soon.“

“Cute place. We arrived on the later side which annoyed the waitstaff.... I promised we'd leave by closing time which was 2:00. We arrived around 1:30. Overall the food was good. A little annoying because we had to ask for more than 2 items, but not a bad place. We ll try again .“

“Delicious pastries! I was staying in a hotel nearby and stumbled on this place. The staff was so kind and gave us a few samples to try. I live across the country and keep thinking of this place. Can’t wait to visit again.“

“Very reasonably priced museum cafe! The tables are in the airy, beautiful atrium. The quiche portion was small, but the sandwiches and falafel wrap were tasty and a good value. (Photos include a Turkey BLT with no veggies, falafel wrap, and quiche). They have lots of drink choices as well.“

“We had a baby shower this weekend catered by Root. They did an amazing job. The food was incredible !!! Rave reviews from all ! Thank you !“

“Do not miss this spot if you are visiting Salem. We had treats from our Air B&B which caused us to go in person. Everything was lovely, delicious and fresh. Customer service was fantastic. We had croissants, a bagel sandwich, fresh bread, the most amazing cookies and, my favorite, the spinach and leek puff with everything seasoning. The coffee was great too. Thanks so much!“

“Awesome little cafe! Me and my fiancé stopped in the morning of New Year’s Eve. The food was fantastic and their Eggs Benedict was some of the best I ever had. Clean place with very friendly staff.“

“Delightful culinary fixture of the north shore. Food is top notch; better than home made.“

“The salads here are exceptional. A great Mac and cheese too. This is a good place to take family and friends. Jennifer our order taker was very friendly. An employee even opened the door for us with a smile as we entered the restaurant. Thank you“

“Got the Napole ice cream…amazing! Staff was super friendly and helpful! Conseguí el helado de Nápole. ¡Excelente! ¡El personal fue súper amable y servicial!“

“Come for the coffee, stay for the croissants. If you haven't been here already I humbly recommend you come down and check it out for yourself.“

“The best bagels around and absolutely amazing cappuccino. The only reason for the 4 stars vs 5 on service is because the young girl I constantly get just doesn't seem to want to be there. Don't get me wrong service is fast, orders come out exactly how you ordered them. However, the counter staff taking your order should, at the very least, be pleasant.“

“Delicious food, nice outdoor ambiance and lovely staff! Belgium waffle with whipped cream and berries, lumberjack breakfast, crispy bacon, scrumptious lattes (we got the coconut cream latte) all perfect. The patio is dog friendly and the staff are welcoming, affirming and friendly! Will come back!“

“I love taking meetings over coffee at Kid Dream. The Sunshine pours in the windows and the baristas pour a great brew! I really enjoy their Golden Milk. Everyone that I introduce to the shop ends up loving it!“

“Natalie & her staff are awesome! Brought my wife here for her birthday. We really enjoyed the açaí bowls & the waffles! Look fwd 2 our next visit :“

“They have delicious candy and great sandwiches.“

“best boba tea great customer service“

“The most amazing dinner experience we’ve ever had! Theresa made us feel like family and even kept my 7 year old laughing and excited the whole meal. Her food takes you right back to Italy and it’s made with so much love. We traveled from Texas and tried it on a whim - WOW best meal/experience of the whole trip. I am forever grateful for the meal and kindness you gave to me and my family. Please don’t hesitate, just jump in and try her place today!“

“Love this place. The coffee is delicious and I love the different muffins offered. I just recently tried the western egg sandwiches on an everything bagel. We also came in to try the pizzas. Delicious!! Will be back for more!!“

“70 years old. saw the cafe' and stopped for breakfast. Best I ever had. Corned beef hash and hash browns perfect. Eggs benedict great. Waffles perfect. best service,friendly staff. Great atmosphere. probably never be around here again. tooooo bad“

“I joined their wine club to make my wine nights that much easier. Parking was super easy and my pick-up was quick. They have plenty of add-ins to level-up my fancy dinners including the fresh fancy pasta, flavored salts, and cured meats.“

“Awesome place to grab a quick bite and service is excellent.“

“Hell must be freezing over because there's a genuinely tasty, completely healthy food choice on Route 114 in Danvers. I was getting my tires changed, risked my life to run across 114, and had a first-rate lunch. Very nice staff, no-nonsense menu, and great prices. Please patronize them so they'll stick around!“

“Entered the store when it was mostly empty, yet waited at least 20 minutes for a single sandwich order, watching as they piled up online order after online order on the counter. This is a lunch spot in a corporate center; they should be prioritizing the people ordering onsite. The sandwich was great, though.“

“I cannot say enough about this place! Great food, excellent service and friendly people. We ate here everyday of our trip and loved it! Thank you Chef Steven for your kindness and generosity! We will be back! Love your Ohio girls!“

“$31 with tax for a dozen (11 different and 1 extra double chocolate) yogurt muffins.

They are stored cold, so let them come to room temp for optimal taste and texture, but I do enjoy!

Way better than gas station muffins with vegetable oil, and they’re lower in fat. A nice treat.

I tried a small taste of each flavor, and the sin-a-muffin, berry blast, cappuccino, and birthday cake were my favs. Some muffins had a soft and fresh texture when at room temp, but others were still harder (maybe not as fresh. Will have to toast them).

I’ll have to come back for more at a later date, but less than $3 a muffin is not bad and it will last me a while as snacks :-)“

“Panera Bread is my go-to spot for fresh, flavorful food and a cozy atmosphere. The menu has something for everyone—whether I’m craving a warm soup and sandwich combo or a fresh salad. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the bread and pastries are top-notch. The staff is friendly, service is quick, and it’s the perfect place to relax with a coffee or catch up with friends. Always a pleasant experience!“

“I'm a local, I go here all the time. Good fresh food made quickly to order. The staff is great too.“
