Cafe 401 & Grill
“My favorite is the Marco Bronco Omelette – $6.75 for a huge omelette with toast [your choice] and either home fries or mixed greens salad !”
“They also have a fresh squeezed orange juice that will make you second guess drinking Tropicana ever again.”
“The aroma of fresh coffee and espresso being prepared and the open grill loaded with bacon, TAYLOR HAM and other treats had me feeling like I was in heaven.”

I was car shopping in the area and was hungry for some breakfast. Thanks to yelp I found this little café in New Jersey. The breakfast was pretty good deafly not the best I've had the deafly not the worst. I ordered poached eggs which came with home fries side of bacon and toast also thanks to my yelp check it I receive your free espresso and I got The coffee. The breakfast was fresh and tasty. However the ingredients used in this establishment are not pop up. For example the bacon was pretty simply cut. So I'm all I think this is a decent place to come to if you're in the area but deafly not what specific trip if you're far away
Like many people who live in Union, you'll know this place as the old "Lea's Cafe." However, I decided today to give Cafe 401 a try for dinner.
I walked in to a completely revamped decour — it seemed they were trying a bit hard to get the "smooth, evening" feel, but I kind of liked it. Illuminated pictures on the walls, cool hanging ceiling lights — I'm an easy date!
I ordered the Portugese steak served with fried eggs on top with a brown garlic sauce (and rice on the side). Needless to say, I was STUNNED. It was TERRIFIC. Steak was cooked just right, the egg was done properly, and the brown garlic sauce was delicious — rice on the side also was drizzled in the brown wonder sauce.
The people there were very nice, giving me plenty of time to order (considering I came at 5:45 and they close at 6). I respect that he didn't try and rush me, and even made the effort to ask how the meal was while I was eating.
I have no complaints about 401 Cafe, and I will DEFINITELY be going by again.
Cute brunch spot, good service, great food. yelp-in for a free espresso
I work nearby and decided to get lunch here with a coworker last week on Thursday.
There's a lot of issues I saw when we sat at the counter. The hostess/waitress is really nice but she and the old lady cook do not communicate well (English is lacking). It's evident the cook does it her way only. She makes each order one at a time. She complete an order before she checks the next ticket.
Another issue I saw was the cook burned the toast for a BLT order and still use the blacken toast for someone order as if there was nothing wrong.
My coworker ordered a burger and I got a taylor ham and egg sandwich. While the cook was making the BLT she didn't throw down the beef pattie. The burger didn't finish 10 minutes after I was done eating my sandwich.
The total for the burger, my sandwich and two mexican coke was around $18 without tip. There's plenty of cheaper and fast places to eat around the neighborhood.
Great little breakfast place.We came on a weekday morning around 9 and there was hardly anyone in there. Service was great, food was terrific and I liked the vibe. Coffee served in larger mugs and food served on matching plates. I had an egg white omelet with bacon. Came with great hash browns and toast. I left very full. The bill for both of us was $25 including the tip. We will be back. Other reviews caution against the place being crowded. I will keep that in mind during high demand breakfast times.
