Union Street Kitchen Café — Restaurant in Ottawa

Made the drive from Aylmer to finally try this place out. I had driven passed it several months ago while in the neighborhood and it immediately stood out to me. I knew instantly that I HAD to try it one day, well today was that day!!

And am I ever glad I did! For starters, the location (in and out) literally looks like something from a Hallmark Movie (ok ok, I watch them from time to time...don't tell anybody!) The charm , the vibe, the decor is all incredible and picture worthy.

Upon entry I was greeted by an enthusiastic and smiling staff, including the owner Christine, who took the time to go over plenty of menu items and specialties. I opted for the tomato-mazzorella pesto panini and the ginger-molasses "Whoopie" - both were absolutely amazing!! The passion really comes through in everything that they do.

After 7 yrs in business, I wish this establishment nothing but the best, and many many more years of success!

This place is an absolute MUST! You will not be disappointed!! I cannot wait...

The owner , Christine , and her team were a delight this Good Friday . I decided to take my mom and dad here while we were out on a walk and were so happy we decided to stop by and try this hidden gem. It was the magical smell that had lured me from many blocks away ..

The baked goods were heavenly and the team went above and beyond by making me the best Americano, baked treats and a fresh and ready to order egg plant Parmesano Reggiano Sandwich on focaccia . It was the best Version of this dish I have ever tasted ( sorry to my mother in law who cooks the best Ital food )

My wife asked me to run back when I realized I left it there on the counter, and she thanked me 3 times for going back to get it. They were so kind about it .. Do yourself the favour of trying this hidden gem ; you will not be...

What a lovely cafe! I remember walking by here the first time and noticed how packed it was. Knew I had to come here the next time I had the chance.

Definitely come here early because this place gets packed very quickly! Not a lot of seating and they don’t take reservations, so it’s a first come first serve basis.

I got a sandwich with Brie, pesto, and kale, and also a lavender latte. They were both SO delicious! I think I’m going to try something else the next time for the main course though just because the roof of my mouth got quite irritated from the toasted bread. The lavender tea though I highly recommend. The lavender taste is very prominent and it just warms you up.

Definitely coming back again and I love how charming it is! Great location, great decor, and great vibes...
