I love coming to roast and cream it's a neighborhood staple at this point. There is such a huge sense of community the minute you walk in. Every time my friends come visit it's a must to bring them here. The owner is super nice, and sometimes his family is there with him running things. The staff is super friendly and always remember things you have said and the food is always perfect. My favorite drink is the tira flow which is a tiramisu inspired latte , and my husband tends to get the mocha latte which he claims is his all time favorite as that's his go to at any cafe we go to. The naño sandwich is also great and for the price you get a great bang for your buck. They also have mini pastries and quick bites when you're running out on the fly. read more

I have had great experiences during the week. But Sunday at 11am, insanely long wait. Ordered within minutes of entering but waited over 45 minutes for food and the drinks (cappuccino & iced matcha) came after the food. The wait wouldn't have been as noticeable and painful if we would have least had drinks in front of us. Food was good as usual, but the ketchup had a rancid taste. Oddly enough this was our experience in a previous visit which we communicated with the staff. The young man behind the cash register was on his phone while taking orders and not very hospitable. Love the vibe and location close to home and hoping they step it up read more

Roast & Cream - Cappuccino and breakfast wrap - Cafes Near Me - Union City, New Jersey

Ordered online from this place after seeing their website photos and their drinks looked great and they have good reviews but I unfortunately did not have a great experience. There's a bunch of young guys working there and they seem decently nice but the drinks are not of great quality. Got an iced out mango matcha and it was so watery you can't even tell it's matcha and the mango is all very sweet syrup. The rappers delight pistachio coffee was also not very good. The coffee itself tastes like it's just a syrup. Paid $16 of these two drinks. Maybe their food items are better but unfortunately the drinks were not good. read more

Service is okay. Workers attitudes are whatever. Barely speak and are robotic. Also every time I order a wrap and request a sauce on the side or to not put an Ingredient. They always mess up it up. Every. Single. Time. Their prices are also too expensive for the area and for how much food you get. There's definitely other spots on bergenline/ uptown that are better. read more

This spot is a whole vibe! The decor is beautiful, the atmosphere is cozy yet upbeat, and the hip hop playlist ties it all together perfectly. The coffee menu is stacked--every drink feels like an experience. I'm currently working my way around it, and so far my top pick is Rapper's Delight--smooth, flavorful, and hands-down amazing. My man's favorite is Tira-Flow, and I've been loving Nutty Beats too. The pastries are just as impressive as the drinks--the tres leches cake is absolute fire (worth coming back just for that), and the beignets are super tasty. Everything feels fresh, creative, and thoughtfully made. If you're into good coffee, great pastries, and an atmosphere that makes you want to hang out for hours, this place is it. Oh, and the staff are so friendly and beautiful young ladies! read more

I came into Roast & Cream and I ordered an iced coffee with milk and a nano sandwich. The interior design and aesthetic of the coffee shop is so cute. It's clean and has a warm inviting atmosphere. The service was great. The guy at the front counter was friendly and polite. Nice new Union city establishment that was added I believe not too long ago. I noticed this location from walking by and saved this spot to my phone as a place to come and check out. My coffee tasted incredible and the sandwich was delicious too. The sandwich tasted fresh and I enjoyed the crispy bread. I was so happy I came in and checked out this coffee shop. 10/10 coffee shop recommendation. read more

I enjoyed this place so much I came here twice during my weekend trip in the area. Trendy vibes with a cool hip-hop playlist in a cozy area with hip-hop memorabilia on the walls. The signature drinks have fun names and flavor combinations. I tried the Rappers Delight (pistachio latte with brown sugar foam) and the (Dirty Cha Cha (iced chai latte with a double shot of espresso). I also had their cortadito which was perfectly balanced--not too sweet or too bitter. Lots of food options too. I tried their guava danish and Dubai chocolate cake which I enjoyed. All the food on their menu looks great and I would love to try more. The staff are very friendly and service was quick. I will definitely return if I visit the Union City area again! read more

So many coffee spots, so little time! I settled on Roast & Cream on the walk home in Union City, and I'm currently going through a Dirty Matcha phase... so I was surprised to see that they had a Dirty Chai option but not Matcha, so I had to ask for it. Their beans? From Intelligentsia coffee, so it's local to a SoCal native. Regardless, I was in the mood for one, and I had to get it! Service was amazing despite the initial confusion (after all, it was a drink not on their official menu). Taste? Amazing, as would be expected of a Dirty Matcha. The cost was a bit on the higher end, but did it to quench the desire. A+ read more

Planning my next visit! Visited this location with two of my friends ( my one friend made reservations). This location was pretty cool because it paid homage to hip hop. From the art on the walls and music playing, this location is unique. The menu items all seem so tasty, I loved the prices and the variety from the meals, drinks and even desserts!!! The menu items make me want to come back and explore more of the menu. Service was quick and easy! Staff friendly and tentative. There is street parking available! Can't wait to come back again thank you! read more

I love the lattes here! The flavor combos are super unique and seriously fire. Definitely a reason to come back. That said, I tried the Nano sandwich and... it was kind of a letdown. I ordered it without lettuce and tomato, but it ended up super dry...no sign of the garlic bread or sauce that's supposed to come with it (or at least I didn't taste or see any). So far, the food hasn't impressed me, but the lattes are keeping this place on my radar. read more

Way too expensive for the amount of food you get. The cappucino was good but also very expensive.

Finally went and was blown away by the flavor, atmosphere and hospitality! Family friendly establishment to teach the youngins what real music sounds like in a "coffee shop". With a variety of coffee flavors and reusable cups?! I was sold! The loaded hash browns were crisp and cooked to perfection! Would recommend over and over again! read more

Roast & Cream - Loaded Loaded Hash Browns - order of 3 - Cafes Near Me - Union City, New Jersey

3.5 stars. Ordered from here recently via DoorDash. The Peaches & Cream drink was good. The empanadas (got beef, chicken, and spinach & cheese) were not bad but the outer shells overly fried. The Loaded Hash Browns were very greasy/too fried. Yuca Rellena was decent. The ODB Sandwich was all right but I don't think I would order it again. Overall the drink was good and I would definitely try other drinks, but I wasnt a big fan of the food I've tried so far (willing to try other dishes in the future though)! read more

amazing small business! this couple totally cultivated the ultimate hip hop vibe in this cafe. It's small so come and get your seats and parking early on weekend! The food is good, the drinks are cute. It's reliable and I loved being there. read more

Ordered: Iced Purple Reign (~$6): vanilla latte and lavender foam, with oat milk French Toast (~$12): topped with strawberries, blueberries, powdered sugar, and syrup on the side Mini Chicken & Waffles (~$13): with syrup on the side Aya's take: As a hip-hop & coffee lover, I was super excited to see that Roast & Cream had opened up in the neighborhood! Off the bat, you can see a lot of hip-hop/rap inspired decor, albums, and artwork on the walls. They were also playing all the jams. The Iced Purple Reign was a 5/5. Perfectly made. The vanilla latte was sweet, creamy, and light and the lavender foam took it to the next level. The lavender used was real and there was that floral taste in every sip of the cold foam. So good! Both dishes we got were good but nothing out of the ordinary. I liked the chicken from the Mini Chicken & Waffles, but the waffles were a bit soggy and just didn't seem fresh. On the other hand, the French Toast tasted a lot better but was slightly burned around the edges. The highlight for me was definitely the Iced Purple Reign. Their coffee menu is so creative; I can't wait to come back and try other drinks. Highly recommend checking them out and hope they do well here! read more

Really cool coffee shop in Union City! I stopped by for a late lunch and was instantly greeted by a very sweet cashier. She handed me a menu and was patient while I looked through all the options. I decided on a matcha drink with coconut water and their version of a Cuban. I really loved the sandwich it was sweet savory and delicious. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Roast & Cream has such a cozy atmosphere -- perfect for catching up with friends! Their coffee is rich and smooth, and the desserts are always fresh. Staff is polite and service is quick, even during busy hours. I really like how clean and well-kept the place always is! Definitely one of my favorite spots to relax and enjoy good coffee. read more

I have been seeing this place pop up on social media recently so I was excited to visit. Loved all the decor and the subtle hip hop theme. Super cute coasters and wall hangings. The drinks were very tasty, the Purple Reign was delicious, loved the lavender touch. The avocado toast was good... the bread was my favorite part, very soft and fluffy. I was excited to try the loaded hash browns but it was kind of disappointing and did not match the picture on the screen. The hashbrown itself tasted good and crunchy but it only had a drop of sour cream and no scallions. I will definitely return to give it another try and order some other items on the menu that sounded good. read more

Food was good but not very filling and the drinks were very good but the matcha was not very flavorful.

Great and fun atmosphere with attention to art featuring Snoop Dog. The coffee menu is very creative

I had a great experience. The service was amazing. The nutty beans drink was the perfect blend of caramel & hazelnut. The romans dragon refresher was also amazing! I had a chicken avocado wrap and it was so fresh! The ambiance was amazing. The RNB vibes all over the coffee shop made it such a nostalgic and fun experience. The music selection was perfect too.
