Amazing, a must stop esp if the sun is out. The booze list is great, so much outdoor seating. The can/bottle shop inside also worth mentioning, could be best in the city. The quality of ingredients here also top notch, not pictured the chicken salad sandwich, made with fried chicken skins...what...yes it was mind blowing!

I love both the grab & go side of the market and dining in on the restaurant/bar side. Nice outdoor patio with a great location. Its really nice to sit on the patio at night with all the bistro lights they have. Super cute little market.

Absolutely no complaints at all. My 15 YO, 7 YO, 5 YO, and I all loved everything. BLTs excellent. Salads excellent. Loved the pickled cauliflower mixture in the chopped salad, seemed to have been made in house. Probably house made croutons. Everything fresh. Staff very sweet and accommodating. Prices reflected good quality but werent outrageous at all. Highly recommend!

I work from home a lot and this is where i order lunch from every day and Ive never been disappointed. Not once. All of the sandwiches are worth eating, but the pro move is the daily special. I dont know who comes up with em but theyre always incredible. Goes without saying the service is fantastic. Sometimes the online site has issues during peak traffic hours, but theyre always happy to take orders over the phone when I call. 10/10 would eat here again/currently/probably tomorrow.

Delicious vegan and GF options. The vegan club is my favorite. Great outdoor seating with heaters.

Ive stopped by the market a few times, but this is the first time Ive tried the café. Im glad I did! I got todays special, the Italian Roast Pork sandwich, and it was fantastic. Possibly the best sandwich Ive ever had. Fingers crossed that this special reappears sometime in the future!

Lovely place and super nice staff.

In my top 3 all-time favorite sandwich places in Richmond! Choose Union Market if you want a hip relaxing environment with fresh sandwiches and salads. Easy-going outdoor patio, cute indoor market with local offerings, and interesting, delicious dishes. Do not skip out on my favorite sandwich: the Tarragon Chicken Salad (creamy AND crispy with a bright plum jam).

Had delicious sandwiches for lunch on the cute patio. Highly recommend the chicken tarragon! Very friendly service.

Bomb sandwiches! Vegan bahn mi was tasty (and we arent even vegan!). Nice little patio. Cute market attached with nice selection of beer and higher end groceries. Only downside was all the single - use containers and silverware :(

This is a very cool little shop/restaurant. There is also a little bar to get drinks, and an outside patio area. The food is really fresh and delicious. Most of the sandwiches are around 10 dollars. They have lots of vegetarian options. Definitely worth checking it out.

Lowkey local feels to this place. Good sandwiches and nice service. Loved their beer selection when I was there.

Reuben sandwich is absolute magic as is their BLT. Look forward to trying some salads and tempeh options as well as breakfast! Love that you can order online and pick up at the window as well as ordering on site. Lovely staff as well.

Today was our first visit here, will not be the last..it is a very cool little market/small grocery store part café.. we had soup and a wrap and it was wonderfulit is Richmond so the parking may be a little tricky but it’s worth a visit

Such a wonderful lunch today at Union Market. The person that took our order is so lovely, and the food was delicious. I had the Italian sandwich, (super yummy) my husband had the cheese steak, awesome great afternoon! Thanks !

Took a long time (45+ min), but they told me it would take over 35 minutes so perfectly fair. Amazing breakfast. I will just order ahead of time next visit but favorite breakfast so far on the hill.

Their breakfast burritos are GOOOOOD, to say the least ! BIG fan! However, I try not to eat gluten anymore, but I will recommend the burrito to people I know that still do.

I tried lunch at Union Market for the first time today. Based on the meal I had, they deserve five stars; however, Im reluctant to give then five since this was my first visit.Youll find it tucked neatly in a residential community as if it belongs. It doesnt look out of place based on location. Its a small market with indoor and outdoor seating for customers. I browsed the shelves of market items while waiting for my to-go order. Definitely a unique selection if you have a desire for healthier choices.I ordered the pick two combo where youre able to mix and match sandwich, soup, and said options. I chose the sweet potato soup and chopped salad. I jumped out on a limb going that there sweet potato soup would not only have a hint of sweetness, but that it would also have savory tones. And guess what? It did! Its absolutely wonderful - you have the sweetness associated with the potato and at the end theres a burst of flavor! I played my soup with the chopped salad. I wanted a basic salad with a little twist. The chick peas and feta have met the little twist I was looking for.I look forward to visiting a few more times in the upcoming weeks to TEST consistency. My thought is five stars are coming! Happy eating everyone!

Great food. Very loud when busy.

Sandwiches are tasty, although Ive only had the BLT. Tall guy that is frequently there when I pick up take away orders is fairly unwelcoming, for this reason I will likely not return. As I stated, Sandwiches are tasty, but they are not anything particularly special that cannot be had elsewhere. Id rather enjoy other establishments in my neighborhood that offer tasty bites with a side of inclusive and welcoming service.

Staff was rude and wouldnt let my 2 year old use the restroom without a mask! I will not be back.

Had the French dip today and it was awesome. The beef, and the au jus were great, but the cheese really set it off!!!

BLT was very good, nice crispy thick bacon and great sauce!! Black bean burger was pretty good too.Food is Panera pricing, but WAY better quality!Definitely plan on going again.Prices for market items are very high though.

Really delightful atmosphere with awesome indoor and outdoor seating. Cool bar that has interesting draft selection (kombucha!!). Theres a quaint little store inside if thats what youre into and the sandwiches are really delicious.

First time today. Great sandwiches, soup and wine. Need to return to eat again and to go shopping in the market

Fresh salads and sandwiches, craft beer on tap, option to uncork wine from the store for $5 with meal, and outdoor seating.

I’ve been there a couple times now for dinner. Everything I’ve had was delicious . I especially recommend the Philly and the veggie burger.

Awesome atmosphere, awesome potato salad

Italian hoagie was bussin

Their French Dip is so delicious, its criminal. Sinfully tasty 😈

The sandwiches are delicious and salads are fresh! Its worth the wait

I only got take out but the turkey panini was awesome. The patio looks really nice and there were a couple tables out front by the entrance. Union Market is great to pick up lunch and take a break from the work day.

I had a sandwich delivered with Uber, everything tasted good.

Very good food, fresh ingredients made with care. Have enjoyed frequenting this place over the years with colleagues and family. Fantastic Philly cheesesteak!

The first time I came here, they didn’t tell me that you had to pick up your food on the market side after you ordered with the kitchen. So just be aware of that.Affordable and delicious sandwiches.Service could be a little nicer.

Not sure what else I can add to a review here... Breakfast burrito was amazing, highly recommend!

I rely on Union Market for convenient staples like milk, cheese, wine, beer, snacks, ice cream, hot sauce, etc. and usually order dinner about once a week from them as well. I understand why they needed to close during COVID, but I have found that I miss them so much and cant wait for them to reopen!! Great people, tasty food, a wide selection of wine and beer, all conveniently located in the Church Hill neighborhood.

Great spot to grab tasty food. Chicken salad sandwich was delicious.

I love Union Market. Convenient hours. Great sandwiches. Excellent bar. Good convenience store. Local vibe atmosphere. It’s awesome.

Excellent craft beers on tap and friendly service.

Woman in the kitchen with ring in her nose was so rude and nasty we left. Maybe they should close the kitchen so there is no interaction with customers. Second time going there and dealing with rude, unfriendly employees with zero personality. Staff really needs to be trained properly in regard to their people skills. They are after all, in the HOSPITALITY business. Giving 1 star because girl at register in market was pleasant. Never going back...

I wish we lived closer to Union Market because their foods are so fresh and delicious. Soups, Sandwiches, and Salads are all done at a really high quality here. Plus, their market offers some of the best of Richmonds own creations that you cant find everywhere.

Such a unique local place! Part market, part restaurant, part bar, part coffee shop. It has wonderful outdoor seating and a good selection of ciders. Nice food for picking, but a touch pricey for a hearty meal. Its the perfect environment to get some things done on your computer or socialize with friends.

I went there for the first time today with my girlfriend. The interior is very aesthetically pleasing and is essentially part restaurant and part market. We ordered a charcuterie board and a French onion dip with chips. The food was great but it took longer than expected for it to arrive. Aside from the wait, we were very pleased with the experience.

Late night dinner was so lovely, great food, which made the price satisfying. So nice to have draft beer w dinner on the patio, and didnt wait long for meal. Great local atmosphere. Market seemed a bit pricey but great trendy products.

Great sandwich spot. Prices are good and other food choices such as sides and soups are good too. Nice atmosphere nice staff.

The food is fresh and full of flavor—their pick two portions are huge so I always get that, it’s a great value! My go to is the Caesar wrap and chopped salad, and I usually add one of their daily sides to try them out. The bar is small but cozy and inviting with great beer on tap and nice wine selection. Their market has a wide variety of items you can choose from if you need to pick up a few things. The service, especially Ryan who worked in the kitchen, is fabulous.

Good food, eat in or take out. Patio is nice in the summer except when the flies get really bad. Quick and convenient to get beer/wine etc from the shop but a tad pricey

The sandwiches and salads are both really good and filling. There are always a few unique sides in the rotation as well. Highly recommend Union if you’re not in a rush and also want to check out the market which includes a large craft beer selection among many other hip products. Highly recommend!

I spent so much money here. I will miss you Union Market.

The bar and market rotate their beer selection frequently making it a great place to explore drinks. The kitchen is great too, a little pricey for some items, but great nonetheless. As for a market theyve got the essentials, but you pay an up charge as it is a small place with only the finest quality goods for sale. Sometimes they have entertaining events with live music even. Definitely worth checking out.

I ordered an egg salad sandwich, no onion. What they failed to mention when I was ordering was that they make their egg salad with onion and they put an onion jam on the sandwich (neither of which is mentioned in the menu). It was inedible and a complete waste of money.

Union Market is the local market every neighborhood needs. Its nestled in between the Union Hill and Church Hill neighborhoods on a corner surrounded by no other buildings. The blocks near it are residential.The market itself is small, but they stock it well to make it feel large. They sell all types of food from local produce to a healthy collection of craft beer, ciders, and wines to cookies. Off to the side is a dining room with tables near a deli and an actual bar with local brews on tap. Outside is a large patio.If all markets were like Union Market, world peace would prevail.

Love this local joint! I can grab something like soy sauce if I need it in a pinch. The restaurant offers vegan options that are delicious which is awesome. Everyone is always so friendly. I love that there is an outdoor patio area where I can bring my dog.

Wonderful little neighborhood place with a mellow, welcoming vibe. Casual, inspired light fare. Interesting beer, wine selection. Sit outside and enjoy the sun. Also has a little grocery with upscale goods worth checking out.

Neighborhood market cafe serving Union and Church Hill. Small but varied menu with vegetarian and gluten free options. Bar serving local craft beer and cider, retail wine shop, offers $5 corkage to open wine purchased in-house. Market has variety of locally sourced products, patio dining when weather permits. Ample on street parking. Child friendly.

Great local market to find local everything! Brunch is great and love eating it on the patio. Great selection of household items and condiments. The local milk has become a must in my fridge! Great place to support your local community and enjoy some great food.

Good place to get some sundries, coffee, a sandwich, ice cream, beer, etc. They have a little bit of almost anything youd need. Try the fancy ice cream sandwiches, theyre awesome.Oh, and they deliver!

Union Market is great for locals to conveniently pick up small grocery needs and is the perfect spot to grab lunch or dinner. Their menu options focus on local fare. They have specials including sliders and other goodies that I recommend trying when you visit. Their charcuterie board is lovely especially paired with one of their local brew/ciders on draft. We love going for a sandwich and cider on their outside patio!

Good sandwiches

Awesome neighborhood market with really great selection! Their food and bar area is also really nice. Vegan options available!

If your a hippy dippy this is the place for you, I guess since I gave it five stars though Im considered one of those as well, haah. Nice selection of food and the cutest outdoor seating area. Go at night, so cute!

Great spot for after work drinks. They have a great beer rotation that keeps things interesting. The food is great and the staff lovely. They have a great patio that is always buzzing.

This is a neighborhood gem. I love meeting friends here for a meal and/or a glass of wine. There is plenty of street parking around and its nice to sit outside. Everything on the menu is delicious.

Excellent spot with wonderful food, quality beer selection and the cutest little market for fresh veggies and other essentials.

Wow definitely must try this place if youve never been. The food is fantastic, beer selection is awesome and they have all the frozen desserts and chocolate. Please visit this place!!!

Indy-spirited eatery and grocery. Very friendly and helpful staff, both in deli and grocery sections. Dining is a multi-step process, ordering food from the deli counter and beverages at the grocery, but it didnt seem too bothersome. I had a caesar salad which was over-dressed for my tastes, but my three dining companions were pleased by their selections. We also bought a little cheese from the grocery with some enthusiastic guidance from one of the deli staff.

Excellent spot in the heart of Church Hill. Ive only had good food and wine. The cheese platter is good, though it could stand to come with a few extra pieces of bread (Billy Bread!).

Good beer even better food. forgot to bring my puppy a water bowl and they made sure he got one. definitely coming back!

Thr store has a few rare finds and the sandwiches are really good. The pasta salad I hsd on my first visit was great as well.

Great spot for quick natural foods, grocery items and a fantastic beer selection. Sit down for a pleasant bite to eat, made to order. Or just hang out with fine beers on tap.

Good sandwiches become great sandwiches because of the bread, the club is a 10 + +Also enjoyed the pineapple IPALove an outside restaurant that is dog friendly . . .. . . Ill be back, 1st timer

It might be the best sandwich place in the city. I always get the pastrami which has kimchi instead of Cole slaw. The French dip is also very good. Just go get you one and thank me later.

My fiance and I live right down the street from here and man, in the otherwise food desert that is known as Church Hill, this place is like finding a fresh lake of water to drink from. We really love this place because of the variety of local fare they sell. It has introduced us to a lot of the local goods that Richmond has to offer - from ice cream to bread, from milk to cookies, and a bunch of other things that come from the Richmond-Charlottesville area, this is the place to find just about anything local. I think my fiance and I can both agree that if we ever move from Church Hill, one of the places/things we will definitely miss the most is Union Market.

They make a fantastic panini. Love the little shop that is part of the restaurant. Reminds me of Shields Market in the Fan.

I was excited about shopping in my neighborhood market. I purchased some honey with red chili and cant wait- I love to cook! This market had some interesting items but the customer service was awful!- especially from the clerk I think his name is Ty.

Such a neat spot! The prices are great, the food is delicious and there are also small grocery items for when youre in a bind. They have an outdoor patio and live music from time to time. There are ample vegan options and theyre willing to make adjustments to make items vegan!

I shop and eat here weekly...if not almost daily. One of the places I count on to have high quality ingredients, creative, local options and always delicious food - for vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters.

Great place to have lunch and a drink. The beer and cider taps are consistently updated with local favorites. Prepared food is always fresh and quick. You can even do a little grocery shopping here.

My girlfriend accidentally ordered a salad with meat in it (shes vegetarian) and, even though it was not at all the restaurants fault, they made her a new salad without the meat. The food was delicious (I had the vegan bahn mi sandwich, and it was stellar!) and that kind of customer service was really wonderful. Give Union Market your service, they deserve it!

I love union market. Great organic selection. Little pricey but worth it

I live right down the street from Union Market and am there regularly. I have never had a negative experience and love their selection of items - especially the beer and wine. Keep up the great work!

Best lunch spot in Richmond and an awesome market. Excellent food, atmosphere and prices. Worth driving to even if you dont work in church hill or the bottom. Plenty of parking, nice outdoor seating and service is fast.

Close group of friends lived in church hill for quite a while and this was our go to spot. Food is always great, wine selection is awesome. Its always been a little expensive but otherwise not much to say against Union. Plenty of cooll stuff to buy in the market.

Gah. Take my money. Feed me delicious food. I want to live in their kitchen. The menu varies by season and always pleases. Every time I think I find a favorite they switch things up or I try something new and my perspective changes. The market-side features high-end specialty food and is always a warm complement to the meal. It is expensive, but its worth the price of convenience in Church Hill.The staff is super-friendly and always give us a big bag for our cat to play in.

Great sandwiches, the special is always delicious. The best wine selection with a wide variety of price points!

Has a very nice small patio frequented by dogs, delicious sandwiches, beer on tap, etc. Good drip coffee but no espresso if that’s what you’re looking for. Great selection of wine and local beer.

Went here for the first time last night, it was just ok. The French dip was pretty good when I dipped it in the spicy sauce. On it’s own, or in the au jus it had a really weird taste. The tarragon chicken was edible but seemed like they were trying too hard to make it “fancy”, and the potato salad and side salad it came with were both really REALLY bad!Over all their food has too much going on. Their sandwiches would be way better if they were simpler. They need to get a new potato salad recipe, I can’t stress enough how bad it was.This is definitely a place to skip, there are way better options for a way better price.

Stopped of here on the way to Stanton and the place was way better than expected. The reviews were good so that’s why we came and the reviews do live up to the name. Friendly staff and great food at reasonable prices.

Great market for fresh and organic foods with a great craft beer and wine selection. Great food and a small bar as well.

Very hip atmosphere. Nice patio seating with excellent sandwich and beer selection. Sandwiches will cost you around $10.

Second time in a row we’ve had a bad experience here. Last time, had to send mine back because they put tomatoes on my sandwich when I told them I was allergic, then they brought it back with tomatoes on the salad. It took 35 minutes to get my food and get it right. Staff just kind of ignores you or gives you a blank face.Today, staff was simply rude.I like the food, but it is expensive and not worth the indifferent staff.

Delicious gourmet sandwiches, along with some classics. Market section has a great selection of wines and more like a complete and posh bodega.

Nice people and great food. We went for RVA Sandwich Week and got the Lamb-wich. Delicious. And the market had great beer and food options.

Conflicted review. The food has gone downhill. Just had lunch and the ingredients were subpar. Used to love lunching here. The market side is great. Always has the things I need and REALLY great Wine and beer. Go to shop or to drink.... Not to eat.Edit: They have started to put SO much more focus on the food side of the place and the outdoor space reno is super nice!! No longer a conflicted review 😉

Always great. Fantastic food. Always vegan options. Seasonal menus. Well stocked market. Great helpful staff.

Its easier to describe what I dont love about Union Market because I love basically everything about it...I wish they opened at 9am so when I wake up and realize I dont have cream for my coffee I could buy some earlier.Thats it. The food, the drinks, the people, the patio- its all amaaaaazing. One of my favorite spots in Church Hill. Highly recommend the chicken tarragon sandwich. And you might as well get a peanut butter cookie while youre there. And a bottle of wine. Its so easy!

High quality food. Decently priced storefront. A very nice neighborhood place.

Third time here and my opinion hasn’t change. Food is ok, staff is rude and entitled and the prices are high. The Unión Market is one of the places that make me feel insulted. They think they can charge hefty prices for food and products only because they don’t have any competitors. I can justify high food prices in places such as New York and Los Ángeles and other big cities where rent is actually expensive so businesses owners are obligated to charge more but not in a place like Richmond, Virginia where rent is not nearly as expensive. I much rather take my business somewhere else where prices are fair and staff is helpful and friendly, the way it should always be...

Everything tested fresh and delicious. The flavors are complex. The beer/cider/wine selection is always changing to something new to try.
