I was stoked to finally stop by @union as I’ve heard a lot of great things about and it did not disappoint. I knew I would not be disappointed the moment I first bit into the home fries. Let me tell you, they are not your average-joe home fries. I had the chipotle chorizo eggs Benedict and I still cannot stop thinking about it three days later. Highly recommend if you don’t mind a bit of a spicy kick. All the ingredients complement each other very well, like pb&j. Orange juice is freshly squeezed using the squeezer upon order. So fresh it’ll leave you feeling you’re OD’ing on vitamin c’s. Go get there early or call ahead and get your name on the list as it will get packed VERY quickly. Service is great, everyone is friendly. Great vibe and atmosphere - most importantly, food is something that’ll leave you longing for more and looking forward to your next visit. Make sure to call ahead and get on the waitlist. I’d give it six out of five stars. Ciao!
Good place to go for brunch. Few of us went for late lunch on a Saturday. We were greeted with a nice hostess. Most of the items we tried from the menu were delicious.
Nutella French toast, Cajun hash brown and chickpea avocado sandwich were pretty good. Fresh orange juice and house coffee were better than most brunch place I have been.
4 stars because like most places they too have limited veg menu.
Enjoyed my brunch here. It was pretty chill and had the standard fair with some interesting fusion options. I opted for the bulgogi burrito. It was simple with egg, beef, and sauce but hit the spot for a carnivore. The waffles were nice and fluffy as well.
This place is popular among college students and right in Harvard avenue. Nice brunch place, pancakes, French toasts are really delicious. No reservations taken, the staffs are so friendly. You can always call the restaurant and check how crowded the restaurant is. The French toast is my personal favorite of mine, if you’re a sugar tooth, pls try their French toast. They are loaded with fresh strawberries and Nutella.
Fantastic!! My wife had Chipotle Benedict and she absolutely loved it. I had a build your own omelet and a side of hash browns. Everything was cooked to perfection and great presentation. Our first time trying @union and will definitely be coming back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Always a great experience when we're here! Great atmosphere with a short wait to be seated. Lots of menu options to choose from. Pleasant, friendly staff, wonderful dishes and short wait for your menu selections. Look forward to considering @Union to be of the favorites*
Its a fun place to go for brunch! Their pancakes with strawberries and banana can be made better but still good. The hash browns were super crispy and good but the sandwich was the least preferred.
Mask are required
Cocktails are served at this location for breakfast.
The chicken and waffles were so good, the chicken was well seasoned and could’ve been eaten alone. It was perfect with the waffle and syrup.
The banana and cinnamon French toast was perfect also. It was crunchy around the edges and a combo of soft and a bit of crunch towards the middle. This was really good. The hast brown didn’t taste like it had any seasoning and it was very crunchy, a bit too much for my liking and I should’ve asked for onions and peppers to be cooked with it.
Otherwise, this place was really good, parking wasn’t an issue, staff was great and drinks were good 😊 as well.
The brunch is creative and tasty, and I’ve had sweet and savory options here. Pricing is average for the area. Coffee is okay (it’s not local), but service is always kind whether it’s busy or not. The atmosphere is chill! But I have seen, how can I say… Allston Guests with many tiny legs here. That’s the one thing that makes me nervous. We are in a city, after all.
I’m taking a star just because the service could use some improvement. We weren’t greeted within 10 minutes and the attitude wasn’t too welcoming. But let me tell you about the most important-the food, it was amazing! Really enjoyed my melted tuna sandwich and also checked the meat omelette, was very decent as well. Also place looks very nice and spacious.
Great brunch place in Allston. The omelettes and toasts are very good. They also serve burgers and sandwiches, ordered a few times, but they could never get the temperature on my burger right... They also have mimosa if that's your thing.
Super yummy food! But a very squishy and loud environment. I definitely wouldn't recommend it for neurodivergent people during rush hour. As an ambulatory wheelchair user I was lucky I could walk here because there would have been zero room to maneuver myself despite the accessible ramp.
The bloody Mary was meh at best. I wouldn't recommend spending $10 on it.
For goods, I ordered the Korean bulgogi burrito. It was okay. It was just the meat, tortilla, scrambled egg (wasn't expecting that) and whatever their sauce was. The sauce was decent and so was the meat but I feel it was missing some sort of vegetables. It was an okay size but when done I was full so I'll give them that.
My mom and wife both ordered the avocado toast and they were both very pleased with their orders. They were surprised it came on two slices of toast, as in it was a large serving. It looked like they literally each got one whole avocado for each of their servings so they were pleasantly surprised. They said it had really good flavor. Our daughter's boyfriend had the chicken and waffle. That was a large serving too and looked pretty good. He seemed to have really enjoyed it and said it had good flavor.
Came early bird early and the server was so sweet and she was very personable. The coffee was fresh and the hash potatoes with onion and egg white tasty enough to return and try other menu items! Really chill place, and glad I found it 😄
One of the more laid back diners you'll find in Boston. The service is always great and the food hits the spot everytime. I ordered the Chorizo & Spinach omelette and it tasted great. The home fries are flavorful and they give you just enough to satisfy your craving. Not too much or too little.
I don't know where to start. The food was really good. There wasn't a long wait when I went for breakfast. The coffee was good. The prices are really good for the portion sizes. They check in often to see if you need refills or anything else.The thing I would like to compliment the most, are the employees here. I've never met nicer staff at a restaurant. Overall I'm so pleased with my visit here and will be coming back!!..... I recommend getting the pancakes 😉
Great spot for brunch food and slightly updated american classics. I love the sweet-spicy take on chicken & waffles here— so good!! Busy on weekends but you can put your name down.
