Our Story
The Union Collective is a specialty coffee shop and social café rooted in the heart of Old Town Alexandria. We believe the best coffee shops do more than serve great drinks — they bring people together, spark conversation, and create the kind of comfortable, inspiring space that makes a neighborhood feel like home.
Every cup we pour features single-origin coffee sourced exclusively from Commonwealth Joe Coffee Roasters of Arlington, VA — one of the nation's top-ranked specialty roasters, celebrated for their commitment to craft, quality, and community.
Arlington, VA's award-winning specialty roaster and top-5 nationally ranked at the 2017 US Roaster Championship. Every bean we brew is sourced, roasted, and delivered fresh — because your cup deserves nothing less.
