Salmon Croquette & Eggs
Shawn S.

I keep trying with this place lol. The croquettes are not appetizing at all. Shrimp and grits are very good, but made with Cajun spices and has a kick. (Don't remember this on the menu description) Spicy isn't my thing so our waitress remade w/o any issues.

We decided to try this place for brunch. Great prices for the portion sizes. Food was really good and fresh. Very friendly service. We had the berry bliss pancakes. Mushroom omelette ( hands down the best one I have ever had) chipotle chicken wrap which is one of their best sellers. Overall great experience, cozy vibes.

If you're looking for a fun brunch spot this would be a great place to check out. The music was a vibe, the drinks and food were delicious! Everything we ordered was amazing! Portions are big enough to share for two. Our waitress was super friendly.

Menu is huge, portions are a good size. Prices reflect currently & accurately for the times. Coffee is a little butter. Ambiance is busy, make a reservation or put your name down early. Service was very kind & fast.

This was my first visit to the Troy MI location. I have only been to the Detroit location, which is situated across when the old Hudson building stood (hence the name). It was a busy Easter Sunday but we had made reservations and for a later time so everyone was just leaving. We did have to wait 10 minutes but it was expected on Easter. It's an open space with high ceilings which makes up for its limited space. Our server got us our drinks and took our orders. I ordered coffee but they don't have flavored creamer and the server didn't offer a flavor shot so I wasn't impressed with my only option of half and half. For my breakfast, I opted for the Red Velvet Pancakes which is my fave from the other location, with a side of bacon. The bacon arrived very warm, which doesn't always happen at brunch joints because they typically make it ahead of time and leave it in a holding pan. The pancakes were not dry, which is nice, but they didn't put any of the cream cheese topping in between the pancakes so I had to ask for extra. Yes, it's very much like a red velvet cupcake when it's all said and done but that's what I like when I want something sweet for brunch. Everyone enjoyed their breakfast choices but nothing really hit home as a stand out. I'm sure we'll return to try out some of the other options.

I have visited the Hudson Café's downtown location, but this was my first time at the Troy location. The roasted beet salad was very filling and full of flavor, and the side of pita bread was fluffy and so good! I thought the portions were very reasonable for the pricing. My friend ordered the eggs Benedict and said it was delicious! Our server, Heather, was attentive and accommodating, and was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options for my friend, which was so reassuring. The menu has such great variety and I want to try so many things, including the gluten-free berry French toast next time! The atmosphere is quaint and beautifully decorated, and the restaurant was very clean!

I love the decor here

I've eaten at the location downtown many years ago, and haven't been back because it's just so far. When I heard they were opening one up in Troy, I was excited because it's way closer and I can visit here more often. Since it's been a minute since I've eaten here, I had to re-acquaint myself with the menu. But, I do remember having a great experience at the one downtown, so I walked in mostly knowing what to expect. Well, mostly, sort of. I chose to come in on a Thursday morning instead of a weekend day to avoid any crowds. I read and heard that reservations are preferred which kind of put me off visiting sooner because I wasn't interested in booking ahead of time. So, this morning I finally said what the heck, tried to book a reservation and it wouldn't let me! Kind of annoying and confusing, but whatever. So, I drove over to see if they were even open on this nice Thursday and they were. thank goodness! They said the reservations are usually for busier times like weekend brunches and such. good to know! I reviewed the menu at home and was already set on what dish I wanted, but I love the selection of food they have here. They're a breakfast & lunch place, which is totally my scene. I wanted to try one of their more signature dishes, so I ordered the Huevos Rancheros. This is my favorite breakfast dish WHEN DONE CORRECTLY. Most places don't make it very good and it comes out tasting and looking like slop. NOT HERE! The hudson cafe makes it right! The only other place in town that cooks it well is Jagged Fork. and now Hudson Cafe! It came out in a skillet and was absolutely fabulous. I literally made a huge mess eating it. Thank goodness it was early, hardly anyone was there and I was eating alone. I got through most of it and had a few extra potatoes leftover at the end. They use green sauce here instead of a red hot sauce like Jagged Fork does, but it still tastes absolutely fantastic. It's a very hearty serving, so go here hungry when eating. Portions are worth the price. I paid by card at my table which was lovely. My breakfast was about $15, but I think they charged me extra since it rang up at $16.72 or something. I left a big tip, so my total was a little over $20. They also have mimosa's here along with a wonderful drink list both alcoholic and non alcoholic which is nice. I am so glad this place is here, and I'll be returning in the future.

After driving by this place a million times I finally decided to drop in for brunch with a friend. We came on a Saturday and it was pretty busy, but that was to be expected. I put my name down on the list but the wait was only like 10-15 minutes so overall not bad at all for a packed restaurant. I attempted to try to go for a healthy option, but all bets were off when I saw the cinnamon roll pancakes. They were delicious and not too sweet. In addition we ordered a bagel, yogurt bowl, scrambled eggs and grits with cheese. The food was lovely and the portion sizes are very good. You may find yourself asking for a to go box. Our sever was super kind and attentive as well which was a plus. In Addition, I parked in the structure as it's more than likely going to be your best bet as it has lots of spaces and trying to park directly in front of the restaurant seems to always be full. Overall tho I really liked my meal here and would love to come back.

Bacon Jam Crepe with bacon in the back

I e got there at 10am on a Friday. There was no wait and the place was almost empty. By the time we left, maybe an hour later, it got busy. 5/5 - Service. Glass of water was always filled. They were attentive - took our plates away when finished. 4/5 - Food. Got the Very Berry Stuffed French Toast, which was very good for sweet lovers. It was like eating a berry cheesecake. Added a side of sausage links for a bit of a savory element. My husband got the Bacon Jam Crepe. Too salty for my liking - but the husband enjoyed it. He wished there was more bacon jam on it though. Quality was good. It's quite pricey though. I wish they included more items as part of a combo with their entrees. The place was laid back and good for small groups.

I tried to make a reservation online, but it didn't go through. Fortunately, we got there early enough (around 9:15 a.m.) that there wasn't a wait & we were seated right away. I know that this is one of the restaurants where there's usually a line. My sister & I were debating between the same things: the portobello omelette & the Thanksgiving omelette, so we got both and shared. She opted for raisin toast & fruit, and I went the unhealthy way: potatoes and pancakes! Lol. The omelettes were both very good, but they seemed a little small. No matter, though, as neither of us finished them. There were TONS of potatoes, and I thought they only gave one pancake, but I had 2. The potatoes were nice & crispy. I just tasted the pancakes because I wasn't hungry enough to actually eat them, but they were very good -- the right amount of sweetness, and I did love the butter that was melting on top. (I usually take the butter off, but a good amount had soaked in before I did that. ) And that they serve the syrup HOT was a lovely touch. I also love that they serve LaVazza coffee (or at least their mugs); such a nice, rich flavor. It's one of my favorites.

Great food, service was also wonderful. It did not take long to seat our party of six.

This cute breakfast/brunch spot hits every time. The Chicken Greek Wrap is phenomenal (yummy…read moremarinated chicken, fancy feta, fresh veggies, homemade dressing), and everything else I've ever ordered here has been fab (blueberry shortcake biscuits, berry bliss pancakes, elevator sandwich). The staff is sweet too. It's a dependable fave.

We recently stopped by The Shine Cafe and had an overall good experience with a few areas that…read morecould use improvement. I ordered the "Double Trouble" -- French toast loaded with cookie dough, Oreos, Nutella, and chocolate sauce. Let me just say... that dish is a train straight to diabetes. In all seriousness, it was absolutely delicious and indulgent, but definitely on the overly sweet side. If you have a serious sweet tooth, this one's for you. My wife went with the Classic Eggs Benedict, and that was excellent -- well-balanced flavors and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes, however, were a bit bland. They were cooked well texture-wise but could definitely use more seasoning. Service was so-so, though it seemed like they were pretty busy, which likely played a role. The location is great -- conveniently about a mile from Woodside Church, one of the largest churches in Michigan -- so I can imagine it gets especially packed on weekends. One important note: restroom maintenance needs attention. With only a single restroom per gender, cleanliness is critical. My wife noticed the toilet seat wasn't clean, which is something that should be addressed promptly, especially in a high-traffic establishment. Overall, the food quality was strong, particularly the main dishes, and we'd likely return -- but there are definitely a few operational details that could elevate the experience.

First time, I got the Spinach, avocado and Swiss omelette, and my driver got the Fruit explosion crepes. We shared, of course. I'm not a potato person, so I always substitute tomatoes for potatoes, when they let me. Their tomatoes were good quality, sweet-ish, not mealy, or too snotty. The crepes were gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to eat! Second time, I got the Elvis french toast which did not disappoint! Warning, they're rich, you may need a glass of milk to wash them down. My driver got the Florentine Benedict and he loved them. They know how to do brunch!!!! I'll definitely be back.
