“Union Cafe is an absolute must try! Not just for the people in the city of Lynn and surrounding cities, but for the entire north shore and beyond! I have the luxury of living rather close to this establishment, but I would not hesitate to drive for hours to revisit Union Cafe. Upon entering expect to be greeted warmly by either the owner himself or one of his very pleasant employees. Then be prepared to be bombarded with a big colorful menu with so many delicious breakfast, lunch and drink options! You will struggle to decide on what to order, but that’s ok because you can always return again and again until you try everything! I myself have not tried everything but I have loved everything that I have had so far! Union Cafe has it all, cozy, comforting and clean atmosphere, great customer service, and fantastic food and drink! Visit Union Cafe A.S.A.P you will not be disappointed!“

“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 .“

“Came here on a Saturday morning to do some writing and enjoy a hot cup of coffee and breakfast. I ordered a latte and a Turkey Sausage Avocado breakfast burrito. The service was super pleasant across the board, and the location is staffed to help take care of orders, keep things clean, and deliver food to customers.

My burrito was massive and honestly quite tasty, filled with hot ingredients and had me filled up! The latte was good but nothing too special.

Overall this place seems really well managed, very friendly, and offers plenty of seating and space.“

“La Qchara is such a gem in the area. The food is flavorful, reasonably priced and always hits the spot. I appreciate that they have a variety of breakfast options from pastries to chia pudding to larger dishes like chilaquiles. The tortas are a perfect lunch/dinner option.

This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion.“

“Locally owned coffee shop/cafe with the best breakfast sandwiches, coffee, fresh baked goods, smoothies, acai bowls, sandwiches, etc. Was recommended to come here by a local and so glad we did!! If you want freshly made breakfast sandwiches, baked goods and coffee that tastes like coffee (not chemicals like Dunkins), come here! Even the flavored coffee is brewed Pumpkin spice not syrup like DD! The owner was so friendly too!! Not a chain, high quality food!“

While visiting from out of town I had the chance to check out this gem and loved everything about it - from the welcoming atmosphere and entertaining pictures, to the most amazing asiago bagel I have tasted, to the incredible service. My family and I wish we had this bagel shop in CO... it's the best!“

Been by this place next to Market Basket many many times but first and NOT LAST time we will be stopping in!!!“

“I have been going here every now and then for at least a decade and I have always had a positive experience. I have ordered in-cafe, online pickup, and uber eats delivery many times. I've tried bagels, muffins, sandwiches, baked goods, both cold and hot drinks, and they are always delicious. Bagels and sandwiches are not greasy and low-quality, they are fresh and high quality and I especially love the spinach&feta breakfast sandwich, on a focaccia bagel.“

“Best croissants and berliners in Massachusetts.“

“Wicked good coffee - Reading and Tewksbury.“

“Great food but the hours suck. Frequently not open when their hours claim they are. Guys, keep your doors open more, please! This is some of the best Italian grub around by far. Don’t be allergic to me wanting to give you money.“

“Cafe Nero never disappoints. The food and their cafe stores always deliver amazing coffee, lattes and sandwiches. Love this store location with its huge large viewing windows. Also, it’s so nice to be served by actual baristas that know really how to make a good latte and cappuccino. So much more exquisite than Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnuts. Just make sure to get in early and find a seat because it does get very busy and popular with the locals.“

“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!“

“If you want a hometown diner feel, this is the place to go! Went for breakfast here this morning and it was great! The service, food and staff were awesome. I just had surgery on my hand and I mentioned to my cousin how an omelette would be easier to eat then picking up a sandwich. The waitress quickly chimed in and told me the cook will cut it into fours for me! I would recommend this place to anyone! 😊“

“best boba tea great customer service“

“I have stopped at the cafe a couple of times already for either a salad or a cup of soup. Today, I decided on a hot panini. I discussed a type of bread with the staff and ordered a grilled chicken panini. It was nicely served and yummy. I liked that the bread had sesame seeds on it. Also, a piece of pickle added a nice flavor to my lunch.This cafe has a plenty of space. People come as well in groups to enjoy a great selection of food and their company. Highly recommend it.“
