What they are saying: Been here a few times and always a pleasure. This is a def gem in Union NJ and so artsy and hippie. The food is great and the atmosphere is just so awesome. It is a very interesting place and keeps your taste buds, eyes, ears and mind occupied. They have live music on certain nights. I love their variety of iced tea flavors.

The icing on the espresso cupcakes tastes like good, strong coffee and the black velvet cupcakes are rich and moist with a custardy cream cheese icing. The young women working here when I came in on a weekend evening we're so friendly and helped me pick out the perfect birthday spread. Thanks Gigi's!
