There was a 45 minute wait which we expected on a busy Sunday morning. We didn’t mind though. The food was amazing and the service was very efficient. The bacon jam crepes, mascarpone French toast, and huevos rancheros were delicious. I also loved the peppermint bark espresso martini.

Loved our visit to the Hudson Cafe on downtown Detroit. Had a LONG wait on a Saturday but the food is worth it. Inordered the gluten-free French toast with fruit toppings. Added some hot maple syrup and wow,.so good! Large servings and fantastic food quality. Highly recommended!

Great food and plenty of it. My stomach ran out of room but forced it down anyway because it was that good. Everything we had tasted so good I don't think you can go wrong with anything.

Ian and Daniel are amazing and the 💣servers!!! They were on top of their game and treated my boys just as they did my husband and I. Food was cooked to perfection! When I mean perfection, I ordered over-easy eggs and it’s always a gamble… these eggs were perfect in every sense of the word. Not once, but twice! … so was their sausage and potatoes! They must have someone doing quality control because I never saw a dish come out that looked less than excellent. They also have a very fun and creative twist on their pancake lineup! Servings are large so be mindful when ordering for your kiddos. The place looked clean, fresh and trendy! This is another place where I feel the star ⭐️ ratings should be higher. We ate here twice and both days our dishes looked like they belonged in magazines!

Spent the day exploring Detroit at the DIA and decided to finally check out the Hudson Café after seeing it featured in a news report. The food looked amazing on TV—and it did not disappoint in person! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, the wait staff was attentive and friendly, and everything we ordered was delicious. We enjoyed a few brunch cocktails alongside a very satisfying lunch. There are so many tempting options on the menu that I know we’ll be back soon to try more. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great brunch or lunch spot in the city!
