I come here a few times a week especially when it's warm out. I love everything about this place. The staff is super friendly every time and are patient with me and my kids. My kids really enjoy coming here as well and I try to bring them in for a special day out with Mom. They love the babyccino, Tiny Dancer and the pastries.I've met the owner a few times and every time I see her she is polite and friendly.Went last week with my 8-month-old and a friend for the beginning of our weekly brunches there while our older kids are in school. I was absolutely shocked with how the place looked. The upgrades are phenomenal and I cannot wait for another great season with you guys.

I will go out of my way and accept inconvenient work assignments to be near Union Market. Sometimes my husband joins me on emergency calls just so he can get a waldorf chicken salad after. We love how they are invested in the art and history of their community. They pair that passion with really thoughtful, whimsical, delicious yums for every pallet and craving. Where else are you getting freshly made hot croutons or sometimes like half a grilled cheese sandwich to garnish your soup?! Tastes like love in here. Follow them on Instagram for drool worthy specials, then stop in and see what all the fuss is about.

We stopped by when visiting the Shore for coffee and some breakfast sandwiches. I couldn't be more happy with the service and food. The pork roll, egg and cheese we got was fantastic. The overall atmosphere was great too, a beautiful inside to eat and relax and an equally as gorgeous outside patio as well.

The UM is my family’s go-to breakfast and brunch eatery in the Tuckerton area. We love their food especially the vegan options. All of the employees have always been kind and welcoming. The prices are fair considering everything is made fresh. The atmosphere is chill and artsy. Everyone we’ve ever introduced to the UM always loves it there. Also, anytime we’ve ever had any issues or concerns (which no establishment is immune to) the staff is always super helpful in addressing and fixing the problem. We highly recommend Union Market for all they have to offer!

Finally a place that is not a diner or catering to a mainly older crowd in the area!Modern & stylish, good coffee & food that is not totally basic, nice vibes overall.Efforts to bring the younger community together with open mic days and other events.Awesome local art on the walls that is usually for sale :)nice little gift shop in the front.A huge thank you to the owners and investors you make a difference in this area!!!The music selection could be a tad more sophisticated imho. Too much pop and Glee… The place is so unique, why play such basic music?

Hidden gem with an extensive menu. It takes a bit to read everything and go over all the options available. It has a really nice vibe and atmosphere. There are vegan and vegetarian options available which is always nice to see. The smoothies all sound good and the Hendricks which I had was delicious. I had my sandwich on a croissant which was very messy, I had to cut it up and eat it. So don't think you can take it on the go and eat neatly. Overall I loved it. Only down fall is it's extremely pricey, and I am in the area often but unfortunately this won't be a go to spot simply because the prices were just too high. The only other time I paid over $100 for breakfast for 4 people was in NYC were we had bottomless drinks. Oh and this place was pricy before covid, so it's not a new thing. But cute to check out and try something different.

I seriously love this place! My husband always gets the vegan Weezer but after tasting my Hot Chick... So I changed the Hot Chick a little instead of ranch I got the Siracha aioli and instead of American cheese I got Munster Cheese. The best chicken sandwich I've ever had the toast was buttery perfectly toaster, delicious red roasted peppers, veg bacon or you can get the real deal, was mouth watering delicious! I'm definitely making this my go to!

Come here once in awhile I like the atmosphere and food is good. I’m a very patient person. Today was not a good experience. Ordered coffee not a specialty one just drip coffee with my breakfast. Told the girl it was empty gave her 2 carafes that were empty. She didn’t brew it right away it sat on the counter until another person said something. Finally got coffee half way through my breakfast…now 1/2 & 1/2 is empty. Brought to counter to be filled. Again it sat on the counter. Now at this point they got busy and I understand. The other person was on a break and told her to fill it. Well that didn’t happen. Waited and waited then went to counter to ask for it to be filled. At that point coffee is out again. Brought them up to counter so they would know they needed more. I know it’s just coffee but I do like to drink it with my breakfast not when I’m done. I get it I’m also in the service business. A suggestion is to have back up carafes during breakfast hours. I will go back because I do like this place.

Easily the best brunch spot in town, with dozens of delicious options, from freshly baked pastries to savory sandwiches.I purchased the Cracken Mags with an Iced Chai Tea and both deliciously exceeded my expectations. If you want to have a great brunch at a reasonable price, with the occassional sprucing of live music, I highly recommend The Union Market and Gallery for all your finger-licking needs.

Awesome place, creatively named all their items after music artists, and they’ve got tons of veg/vegan options. Had a great DJ playing nightmares on wax vibes outside. Food took a little bit to make but they were up front about that to begin with.

We always like stopping in here when we are in the area.Great vegan options.. We've had various wraps both breakfast and lunch styles.. Delicious Lattes as well and yummy desserts.Always check out the board for the specials!The space itself is really nice.. Great to sit inside or out and afterwards.. Take a nice walk on the Boardwalk through the little village. 😁❤️🌈Vegan GLBTQ+ friendly

Their Iced Chai (pictured) is literally the best I've ever gotten at a coffee shop. Everything I've purchased here has been good. It's always consistent and the quality is great. Love the atmosphere too. The only negative thing I can say is I wish they offered larger sizes for iced options. I'd gladly drink a gallon of this if I could. 🤣

(The pictures were taken and shared on Snapchat, so don't mind the captions!)This coffeeshop is definitely the go-to place for a quiet time. The staff is really nice and welcoming, making feel right at home—even as a first-timer! Today was a cloudy day, so the interior was pretty ambient and muted, giving off some sort of library-from-medieval-times vibe and added to my experience there.In terms of food, I ordered what I think is called The Weezer(?) in a potato bowl that consists of eggs, tomato, avocado, bacon, and some condiments. I definitely would have enjoyed this for breakfast, (breakfast and lunch is served all day) but alas, I couldn't quite eat it earlier than I did. That didn't take away from the food, however, and when topped with some black pepper found in the basket on any of the tables, it was very enjoyable! I also ordered an iced caramel macchiato for about $4 and it matches what one would get at Wawa. There are other varities of milk one can try, but I'd have to visit again to experiment.It appears that pairs of people often come here, judging by how the tables are set up with two chairs, though there is seating the family can share near the door. Eating alone (which is what I did) isn't too awkward either, which is something I find myself doing pretty often as of late, so that's a definite plus. There's also a bar-like table that is seated in front of a window with a view towards the river by the seaport, and had the weather been better, it would have looked very good.All in all, I highly recommend coming here for an easy time with a friend or two. The food is definitely a strong point, and the coffee is also quite good and customizable with milk and sugar if you buy a basic cup. The interior is very pleasant combined with a welcoming staff, and as someone who was hyped to come to this place for a while, it certainly did not disappoint.

I have been here too many times to count. If you haven’t not been, I’m not sure what you are waiting for. Their coffee and food is both amazing. Tons of vegan options, and lots of baked goods. They have a kind staff and they have a ton of events that give back to the community.

Diamond in the rough for sure. Delicious food, coffee, smoothies, friendly staff, just an awesome little gem. Outdoor dining so peaceful. Highly recommend!

The Union Market & Gallery, like Carazy Beans Cafe', is a rare treat in this fishing and boating community. Unlike the Cafe' though the Union Market is a little hidden. You have to go into the Seaport behind the museum to find it. It transports you back in time a bit. It overlooks the old buildings and docks of the old seaport, very definitely a cool spot. The food is aces. It is my favorite breakfast spot in town. The menu is varied and they have gluten-free substitutions for just about everything on the menu. Also it is not expensive. Diner prices for an eclectic menu. They have music, readings, art and other activities too. Very cool place.

I cannot sing enough praise for the Union Market. It has been my favorite place since they opened and never disappoints. You can eat inside, outside on the porch or order for pickup or delivery...so convenient. Their specialty coffees are a good way to get your day off to a great start. Shout out to counterperson, Audrey...excellent service!Thank you, Union, Keep going strong!

Great atmosphere, employees, and let’s not forget the food and drinks! My fiancée and I have been here twice back to back days for lunch and had the pleasure of meeting Chris who took our orders both days. He was super helpful and friendly in making recommendations that were spot on with our taste. Will be back every time we are in Tuckerton!

This place looked good online but did not live up to the hype. The pancakes are awesome but everything else was marginal. The French toast was undercooked, mushy and tasted like raw egg batter. The omelets were okay but the diced potatoes and sausage patties were burnt and dried out. It took forever to place our order because they only have one register and then another 30 minutes for our food to come out. IF you still want to go here, do yourself a favor and order online. You can still enjoy the Seaport scenery and save yourself 45 minutes of waiting; 15 minutes in line and then another 30 minutes for the food. Thank goodness I was able to refill my coffee (which was very good) several times while we waited.

This place is great!!! Everything we had was fantastic (coffee, smoothie, some bakery items), the same with what everyone else was eating that we saw (in particular, the grilled cheese and the avocado toast looked really good!). Service was outstanding, interior is cool, and all was good as well. I've eaten a lot of scones, but the expresso chocolate chip we had to day was probably the best I have ever had! I really can't say enough about this place!Vegetarian options: Seemed to have a lot!Parking: Lots of parking in Tuckerton Seaport parking lots.Kid-friendliness: Saw a bunch of kids, so I presume its kid-friendly.

Incredibly disappointed. From the outside I was excited to have found what seemed like an inclusive little gem. When I walked in it seemed like an adorable little shop with home made goods. We weren't hungry for lunch, because we had just visited the tea room, but we picked up drinks & some baked goods for the road and scoped out the menu because it seemed nice enough to stop by again sometime for a meal. When we brought out items up front the person at the register seemed completely put out by our appearance there. They were curt and uninterested during the entire interaction. As soon as my credit card went through, her back turned to us and she went back to the book, as if we couldn't leave soon enough. It was such an unpleasant interaction I don't think we will be back.
