    I have purchased coffee from Union Grind many times and can honestly say its fabulous. Straight and to the point coffee with no unnecessary fuss. There is a lovely fresh (non burnt) taste off the coffee. The staff are super friendly and are always playing great tunes! The best thing is their Easter Egg hot chocolates - simple but absolutely luscious and a great little treat! If like me you still need a touch of coffee they have a mocha option as well. Highly recommend popping in for one on Easter Saturday!

    The Union Grind is a fabulous place to chill and relax. The view from the big windows is fantastic. They have soups, sandwiches, and a variety desserts to choose from and eat. They are wheelchair accessible and friendly. The bathrooms are wheelchair accessible. There is no wheelchair accessible parking.

    Excellent coffee and nice views across the river from their covered outdoor seating make this a good Cork COVID summer outside pick. The nearby road is nice and quiet so you can have a conversation easily. The menu has a decent amount of veggie options. There is a bathroom but wheelchair users might find it a tight squeeze.

    First lunch out after a long wait, we were very satisfied. Veggie wrap was fab but our server Alice stole the show, super friendly, very accomodating and a great knowledge of the menu! Coffees were also ZING.

    Really good coffee and the food is great too. Atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is very friendly. Every so often they switch up the paintings or photography on the walls which is a nice touch. You can get coffee ground here and they sell reusable cups too. Not too expensive.

    "I’m going to let you in on a little secret: every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it; don’t wait for it; just let it happen. It could be a new shirt in a men’s store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black, coffee.” Union Grind has the best coffee in Cork not to mention the friendliest staff around.
