Caffe Union

Love it here, come by a least once a week while waiting for the 45 bus, perfect location for me. Good selection of pastry and breakfast foods and they're always fast. Small/medium seating area with tables inside and benches with small tables along the street outside. I'll choose it over starbucks down the road anytime.

I'm really just utterly flabbergasted by ANY negative ratings for this establishment. We go here weekly...it's always a joy. Croissants are INCREDIBLE. Cookies are INCREDIBLE. Coffee is wonderful. Staff are great. I'm actually giggling looking through some of these negative reviews. The warped sense of reality some of these folks have would be humorous if it werent potentially hurting an incredible local coffee shop.

Located under a beautiful, olive colored Victorian House that sprawls like an accordion; I like to imagine the owner of the cafe climbs down the stairs of the house to his work; my favorite areas to sit are the table outside ; and when you are done , wait on benches outside for bus 45 to give you a ride home to the top of Russian Hill . Almost like a ski lift. Interior has a cool roaster that looks like an installation work of art ; the two murals depicting coffee bean pickers are quite good; spacious interior to spread out; friendly no nonsense service; I liked the coffee and pastries.

Great little coffee shop. Has a wide have a wide variety of different coffees and flavors .if I do say so myself it's better than Starbucks. Even their pastries are fantastic . The staff are helpful and very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you might have. and believe it or not it's even in a good price range.a must go if you're ever on Union Street.

Went in for the first time today. I asked for the largest Americano (my ultimate caffeine go to) and the owner was very nice. The place had quite a bit of people in there and price is reasonable for a 20 oz. Found it a little odd with the coffee sleeve, but other than that it was a pleasant experience.
