Caffe Maria — Restaurant in Union City

UPDATE: FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 2023, 10:47PM: Tonight, Caffe Maria proved they are a friend and ally to the LGBTQIAPlus Community by hosting the first ever drag show in Union City, New Jersey. Also, there are wonderful new staff members, and new tea offerings. The prices remain reasonable, the food remains excellent, the service remains outstanding and it remains a pleasure for me to visit, every chance I can.

UPDATE: THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 2023, 6:13PM: The only change I know of is that the hours on Thursdays are 10AM-6PM. It was 10AM-5PM. Other than that change, the customer service remains excellent, the coffees and teas are delicious, as is the pizza, the pastries, and I look forward to that kickass meatball sandwich, next time.

UPDATE: SUNDAY, JANUARY 8, 2023, 1:32PM: In honor of my Birthday, I visited Caffe Maria, which was interesting, as the first time I visited Caffe Maria was on my Birthday in January, 2020. The food remains as delicious, as usual, the coffee remains amazing and the service remains excellent, as usual.

UPDATE: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2022, 6:05PM: Today was my first time back at Caffe Maria since they reopened, about two weeks ago. It makes very happy to see not every business closed its doors permanently after the covid19 lockdowns of 2020. At the present time, Caffe Maria is open only on Saturdays, 10AM-9PM, and Sundays, 11AM-3PM. The coffee is even better than I remember it, and now they offer pizza. Yes, PIZZA! I look forward to returning, ASAP AND STAT!!

I was on my way to an appointment and found Caffe Maria. After reading what another Google Local Guide wrote about it, I promised myself I would return when I had more time. That happened to be on my Birthday, this year. I was impressed by the decor, the safety dividers, the cleanliness and the professionalism and politeness of the staff. The macchiato was delicious and the espresso cake was out of this world. It was also nice to have the option of dining in. Then again, at the time I visited, my life partner and I were the only customers. I look forward to returning earlier in the day, the next time I visit, because I shall...

Today I had the pleasure of visiting Caffe Maria! It was a pleasure meeting Rolando the owner of this beautiful establishment. I fell in love with the industrial, rustic and modern vibe of the place. Rolando said his wife was the designer and inspiration for the name, she did a great job. From the beautiful wooden table in the middle to the floating glossy bars on the tall windows and awesome exposed brick walls this place is extravagant. The ceiling is so nice with a unique industrial light fixture and modern fans that keep the air moving sideways instead of pushing air down while still keeping the place feeling fresh is a great touch.

Rolando is such a great host and extremely knowledgeable about his product. If you have never been exposed to these kinds of coffees, ask him about it and he will help you make the right choice.

He has Italian pastries on deck and guess what?! He even has Philippine bread! You have give it a shot!

Go have some coffee, trust me you won’t be disappointed!

This place was so unexpected in a great way. A charming cafe with rustic, country vibes that makes you feel so welcomed. They’ve got an extensive coffee menu serving blends from around the world. We got the salted caramel frappe and the vanilla caramel crème frappe for coffee and ordered the waffle and French toast from their breakfast menu. Loved the waffle best. Super reasonable with their prices too. Additionally, they also support local artists and have got art on display/for sale (super thoughtful for the local artist community). Ended up having a conversation with the owners and they were so kind and passionate about the business they’re running which is very customer oriented. We easily spent a couple hours there and didn’t feel rushed. I can’t recommend this place enough because they deserve to shine and needless to say I’ll be...
