    When we got to Union Street, we were able to sit down immediately, even though it was a Sunday morning. Inside was bright vibrant and had plenty of seating. Service was good. We were waited on immediately. Food was good, the white cheddar jalapeño grits were phenomenal. I enjoyed my experience.

    Excellent vibe. The music choices were top tier. Loved the waffle. It came with a pile of whipped cream. The star of the show were the jalapeño white cheddar grits. They were so good! The eggs and coffee were also delicious. I love the water bottles. Check out their May specials. They have outdoor dining. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area again.

    July Special- Fries Catfish Sandwich

    The staff were kind and friendly! It was a great atmosphere. Although with the July special--the catfish sandwich i felt the bread was too tough for the catfish. I couldn't cut through the bread with a knife. The catfish was cooked well but ended up falling apart making the sandwich just too hard to eat with your hands.

    This was some of the best brunch I've had in a while. Everything was seasoned very well. My mimosa tasted good. I still wonder what the sweet tea mimosa taste like maybe one day I'll go back and try it. The food was very good and filling the menu was extensive so I can't wait to go back one day and try something else on the menu and you can definitely tell that this is a scratch kitchen restaurant so everything came out fresh and hot. Our waitress was very good and attentive. They also have outdoor seating if you would like to catch a breeze on a nice day 10 out of 10 recommend

    Chilaquiles and Chicken & Waffles
    Artianna S.

    A friend and I tried out Union Street Cafe one weekday for brunch and really enjoyed it! The waitresses were extremely welcoming and attentive and made sure we had what we needed. I ordered the chilaquiles and my friend got chicken and waffles. The chilaquiles were delicious! (Be sure to not let it settle for too long or the tortillas start to get a little soggy). They were a little spicier than expected, but I enjoy spice. If you do not like spicy, I would not recommend. My friend enjoyed her chicken and waffles and felt the chicken was well seasoned and the waffle was tasty! Overall, it was a pleasant experience in downtown Concord and I would come back!

    I have been meaning to take a stroll in Downtown Concord and check out all the local shops. Finally got a chance to have a nice local breakfast. Service was nice, quick and friendly. I ordered scrambled eggs, toast and potatoes. My daughter had the blueberry pancakes that she enjoyed. Such a nice place to sit and relax with a strong cup of coffee. Sit by the window and just gaze out and relax!

    Usually love this place! I've never tried their biscuits and gravy so I figured I'd give them a shot. They were huge, covered in a delicious sausage gravy. The only complaint I had was they did not taste fresh, very dense and kind of Luke warm. I did notice while waiting for the bathroom that there were some biscuits sitting in plastic wrap in a plastic storage tub in their pantry.. they probably reheat to order, which isn't a problem unless they aren't hot like mine. Everything tasted really good it's just the temperature that was a miss. I will be back but will probably skip on the biscuits.

    Came to union street Cafe on a Sunday morning, and it was the cutest little Cafe that has a few tables on the inside and nice outdoor seating as well. The café is small but airy at the same time which is nice! We were greeted immediately upon arriving and got to select our own seating. We sat by the window and it was a vibe. Our waitress was really sweet and offered a few recommendations since I had informed her that this was our first time coming. I did have to ask for a kids menu for my son though as it was not provided when we were seated. I'm happy I asked because there was a drastic difference in the prices! I ordered the biscuits and gravy (that includes an egg prepared how you like) which was suggested by our waitress, I wanted breakfast potatoes as well so ordered a side of those as well. My son ordered a waffle off the kids menu which only came with a drink so we had to order a side of bacon. For his drink, he got lemonade. Our food didn't take too long to come out, I overheard one of the other waitresses tell her table that the food is made fresh to order from scratch so, that's good to know. I was not impressed with the biscuits and gravy, it was a bit bland and that's probably because the biscuits are massive and in my opinion need way more gravy. The dish was not hot and the gravy was to thick so the consistency was off putting. The potatoes were piping hot and delicious, it was just way to much food... I hate reheated potatoes so when asked if I wanted a to go box for them, I declined. My son said his waffle was just okay, and made it a point to say he preferred waffle house waffles over this one. He ate it all though so, there's that! My waitress clearly seen that I had hardly touched my food and asked me if I wanted a to go box, I politely declined, but here's my issue, she didn't ask me if I was satisfied with my meal, I clearly was not but there was no inquiry as to why I barely touched my food and was not willing to take it with me. They missed the mark there. I did paid my tab through the QR code and they do ask via a survey on the web about your experience and I left my feedback there, but I'm disappointed that my waitress didn't care to ask. Also, my son didn't drink his lemonade because it was sickly sweet, I tried a sip and boy oh boy was it sweet, we tried diluting it with water and it was still to sweet, imagine how sweet something has to be for a child to reject it! Yes, I still tipped her. They have an interesting menu, so I'd be willing to come back and try something different!

    My daughter and I wanted to try something different and I've been wanting to explore more on my side of town, so we found Union Street Cafe. We were both immediately drawn to pictures of the Strawberry Crunch pancakes and wanted to try it. As soon as we entered, we were greeted and seated quickly. The atmosphere and vibes were amazing, music was a mixture of pop and R&B, and everyone was friendly. The menu had some great options so it was hard to choose but I ordered the Strawberry Crunch Pancakes, Jalapeño White Cheddar grits, bacon, and eggs. Everything was AMAZING!!!! I don't like spicy food and the grits was not spicy at all! As you see in the picture, I couldn't even eat all of this and took some home, but I would recommend everyone to at least visit very soon! I'm going back and plan on ordering lunch. I was able to look at someone else's table and the burger looked delicious and very filling!

    This place was so surprisingly tasty. The blueberry pancake was cooked to perfection. Though their menu is simple, the food looks and tastes amazing. The wait staff was very attentive and it didn't take long at all for my food to come after ordering. There is a ton of seating in here with a view of the street and great lighting to soak up some sun as you start your morning.

    This was my first time going to this brunch breakfast area come to find out. It's around the corner from my job. I came here with my husband to have breakfast and it was pretty good. The French toast was the best with the fried chicken and the bacon, not a big fan of the grits or the chorizo with potatoes, but overall the food was pretty good.

    The food was pretty good and fulfilling. The place is nice and clean. The staff were nice too. The food took a little less than 15 mins to come out. The potatoes were my favorite, definitely something to share. The waffles were good, not too sweet though. Overall everything was good and the ranch is also very good!!

    Eggs, bacon, French toast, pancakes and potatoes
    Tonisha B.

    I liked this place a lot! The eggs were a tad hard for my liking and didn't have any seasoning though. Everything else was great. I'm a French 75 fan so their drink with the sweet tea take on a French 75 caught my eye. I'm glad I tried it too it was different but good. Service was quick and there was plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

    Exploring Concord and it's coffee time. After ordering my cortado, I found a comfortable seat…read moretowards the back. By the time I had set up my laptop and gotten connected to the wifi, my cortado was called out and I picked it up. Hot and fresh, a great dose of caffeine to keep me going this morning. The coffee shop is clean and tidy, the noise level is low and it was a cute spot to stop in downtown. [Review 667 of 2026 - 4754 in North Carolina - 25848 overall]

    I was looking for a coffee shop on my way back to Greensboro from Charlotte. This coffee shop was…read morethe perfect stop because it got me out of the Charlotte congestion and also helped me cut my drive almost in half. It is also located in a super cute southern downtown area with quite a few boutiques and local restaurants and bars (also an open container social district). Being downtown I did find the parking a bit challenging at first since this was apparently the place to be mid day Saturday, but I ended I finding parking on the street behind the Main Street. I also noticed a garage that appeared not to be charging as an additional option. The coffee shop itself had a cute patio, and I was pleasantly surprised at how big the place was with ample seating options (tables, couches, coffee bar seating). Since it is fall and I'm a sucker for fall drinks I tried the Maple and Cinnamon Latte with oat milk and added the pumpkin cold foam!!! This drink was full of fall flavor and perfectly balanced! I usually get a small coffee but this was so good I was regretting not getting a larger size! I'll definitely be back on my next pot stop between Greensboro and Charlotte and maybe take some time to explore the nearby shops!

It was delicious and I also tried an apple cider donut, it was amazing! I love the decor, very calm colors and wood tones used inside, it really creates a nice, soothing setting for you to talk, relax, and enjoy a cup of coffee without making you feel overwhelmed or overstimulated. My friend recommended this place and I'm glad I gave it a shot. She ordered the hot chocolate and an apple turnover. Everything was very affordable, and the space itself was nice and clean. They even have a little area around counter where small businesses promote their products...there are cups, keychains, there's jewelry, journals, pens...everything is very cute!! I was looking forward to trying their cinnamon rolls, which I've heard are amazing, but they were all out of them by 9am, so I'll have to go back and try to get there earlier next time. Very kind and welcoming staff. It's a nice, warm environment and I enjoyed my first visit. Lots of seating both inside and outside...even an extra room in the back for meetings. There are board games back there as well, which is cool! Loved it and will be back and will be bringing friends here and my family in the future. Even has a drive-thru option, which honestly- most small biz coffee spots don't offer!!! Some parking, but definitely not enough, is the only down thing I'd say, and the fact that it's so close to the main road with traffic/noise.
