Ride-share apps such as Uber and Lyft operate across New York's larger cities, and public transit varies from extensive to minimal.

Absolutely perfect breakfast spot. Sat outside on a beautiful day, under umbrellas that provided plenty of shade. Outdoor seating is actually comfortable. Highly recommend if it's an option. Servers were phenomenal. Attentive, knowledgeable, friendly. Great small town diner atmosphere. I'm particular about my breakfast. My dad was a short order cook. My order was cooked to perfection, and so was my husband's. I will absolutely be going back again and again. This is my new favorite breakfast spot.

Everything about this place was excellent. This place is a great place to take some time for breakfast or lunch! We stopped in for some lunch and we are pleasantly surprised by how amazing everything was! Service was impeccable. Food absolutely delicious. Fries were something worth the stop alone! Atmosphere was bright , clean and upbeat . Very busy place at no time was the staff not running for their customers! We will return without a doubt! Thank for the great dinning experience!

Love Union CafΓ©! Great place for brunch with family. The servers will go out of their way to make dining there a special experience, like they did adding a mountain of whipped cream and sprinkled to a mug of hot cocoa for my in laws. The benedicts are consistently awesome no matter the choice. I also love their homemade corned beef hash. The lump crab benedict is amazing, my wife is also a big fan of the Florentine benedict as a vegetarian and I'm pretty sure has ordered it every time we have gone. Not only is their food and service excellent, but this restaurant's owner is a huge community champion, going as far as roasting and carving at least two massive turkeys and preparing fixings for Thanksgiving dinner to get distributed at Street Soldiers, which is a volunteer run food and necessities distribution event for folks that otherwise would not be able to access those things. All around a wonderful place run by genuinely good people. It can get very busy on weekends just as a heads up, and I would call ahead if you're coming with a large group.

We were in the area and decided to stop here for breakfast. It is a small quaint place with a small menu and very friendly staff. My wife had the Flourintine Omlette and I, after seeing the award for Best Pancakes, had the pancakes and bacon. While waiting for our food to arrive, we saw an order of their breakfast sausages being brought out, which looked delicious, and we added our order. My wife loved her omlette and home fries, and I could see why the pancakes were voted the best when they got their reward. The sausages were plump and juicy and did not have a greasy after taste. The only drawback, I was slightly disappointed with the bacon. While they, like the sausages, were not greasy, they were very thin and and the amount you get for the cost just really wasnt worth it. That being said, if you get a protein with your pancakes, get the sausage, it won't disappoint.

As a gluten free girl, I felt SO taken care of! The chef came to the table to discuss food prep and what was safe to eat, even grilled such yummy GF bread separate from everything so I could eat it! Very knowledgeable about it gluten free!
