The Buzz of Union City Café

The Buzz of Union City Café is the kind of local gathering place that makes a small-town stop worth lingering over. Considered the unofficial entrance to downtown Union City, the sunny expansive café provides plenty of seating and a menu that offers something for nearly every taste. Settle in among historical maps, local artwork and artisanal items and a cozy fireplace, or take your order to go. Owners Kathy and Greg Bowes are all about sharing the love of great coffee and the hometown community and are proud to serve expertly crafted espresso drinks and locally roasted coffee alongside fresh-baked pastries and made-to-order meals from a small-but-mighty kitchen.

Come hungry for favorites such as smoked pulled-pork mac and cheese, smoked turkey prepared in the café's smoker and homemade wedding soup. The extensive menu also includes wraps, baked goods,, along with homemade gluten-free cookies and treats from Tasty Bakes. Along with signature drinks and specials like the Buzz Blend Coffee, Strawberry Shindig, Piper Mint Blues and Healing Honeybee, you’ll also find smoothies and boba. Be sure not to miss the chai: imported from Australia, it rivals that of most major cities.

There's plenty to discover beyond the food and drinks, too. Browse local art, merchandise and works by local authors, and take in the café's connection to Union City's history, including décor inspired by the area's past and the nearby 1860 Historical House. The Buzz offers a memorable taste of Union City in a setting that's full of character.

The Buzz is open Monday-Friday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Whether dine-in, drive-thru, takeout or catering, The Buzz is an easy stop for those exploring Union City or simply passing through.
