Good food and service. Went there today with a couple friends the Chicken salad sandwich was delicious!!! My friends each ordered the mushroom Swiss burger which they said was also delicious. I highly recommend. Friendly staff, the tea is delicious as well, many varieties to choose from.

I used to love this place. Food was always delicious and fresh. Scones were the best! Since the summer, the scones are different; dry and not as tasty. Stopped for lunch with a friend the other day, and we each had a salad. It comes in a big, tall bowl, with a LOT of lettuce, and the ingredients on the top. All the ingredients were tasty, but there was lots of slime in the lettuce. LOTS. I gave up picking through it. I can't believe the chef did not realize how black and slimy so much of the lettuce was. And, the server was no where to be seen. Coffee was excellent, so that is all I will have from now n.

This place was amazing! My candy cane tea was very good. Not presweetened either thankfully. My veggie omelette was delicious. 11/10

The tea was amazing. “Lady Sansa” was delicious! The food was great. We thought for a snack and my daughters did their best to finish their, even after full because “it was so good mom”. My spinach-artichoke quiche was delicious and my girls recommend the waffles and breakfast sandwich on a bagel. Such a sweet little place. Olean needs more places like these for tourists and locals. Very recommended.

I liked going here. The atmosphere was nice and the food was delicious. We ordered the vegan tomato soup and a peasant market Pita without cheese. Only Bummer was that there were no vegan desserts. However, I recommend this place to all. The atmosphere was nice and the team was very friendly and fast.

Union Tea Cafe captures a blend of nostalgia and innovation, yet elicits mixed reactions from patrons. Once celebrated for its exquisite loose leaf tea collection, the current focus on alcohol and neglect of finer details has left some longing for prior owners. While food items, from scones to salads, have fluctuated in quality—some dishes suffering from freshness issues—others shine with unique flavors. The cozy atmosphere remains a highlight, complemented by friendly service. With a commitment to offering healthy options and a burgeoning drink menu, this cafe continues to evolve, promising potential for both loyal and new customers alike.

This is a fantastic spot for coffee and breakfast. I decided to try the ham and cheese breakfast sandwich on sourdough toast and it was absolutely delicious!

I miss when the old owners had this place. Used to have an amazing wall that showcased all their loose leaf teas and, now it's just a bunch of booze. Guy who made my tea just threw it together didn't let me know how long I should let the tea bag steep and, didn't seem to care too much. Food is good. Not the same but, good. The vibe is gone tho.

My mother in law , aunt and myself stoped for brunch. I ordered a m m scone , I got a lemon and it was very stale.You always had the best scones. Ordered a coffee with cream didn?t get the cream until asking for it again. Then asked for a fork to eat amini cake. That was good. Mother had the chicken soup and said that was good as were her danish. My aunt ordered deep fried Macand cheese. They were over done and had no flavor at all. We didn?t eat them. When we sat down the table and bench was dirty aswere several others so no where else to sit. I cleaned our table. Very disappointed as I had been in before and everything wasgood , clean and service was good. I don?t know what happened today but I won?t be back for a while. I never complain but somethings need to be improved on.

Since I first tried this place about 3 months ago, I've probably gone 6 times, and ordered takeout once. I absolutely LOVE this place. Probably my favorite place to eat in town, but DEFINITELY my favorite tea place I've ever been. I'm a forever fan!
