The Union Market & Gallery

The Union Market & Gallery is a beloved community coffee shop nestled in the historic Tuckerton Seaport in southern New Jersey. Founded in 2017 by the Buterick family, this charming cafe has become a gathering place for locals and visitors exploring the maritime heritage of the Jersey Shore. The market showcases Rival Bros. Coffee, a premium Philadelphia-based roaster, alongside a full juice and smoothie bar, hearty all-day breakfast options, and a satisfying lunch menu featuring fresh, local ingredients. Their bakery case overflows with freshly-baked pastries including morning buns, lemon ricotta cake, Irish soda bread, and seasonal treats like apricot jam bars and vegan pumpkin bread. The space itself blends coastal charm with industrial chic, featuring reclaimed wood accents and a welcoming atmosphere perfect for remote work or catching up with friends. A mobile coffee trailer offers convenience for seaport visitors, while online ordering via Toast allows guests to skip the line. The Union Market also stocks curated dry goods and merchandise, including their signature egret-themed apparel. Open daily from 7am to 3pm, this family-owned gem embodies the spirit of inclusive community that began with the makers festival movement.
