The jalapeño and cheese pretzel was great, the cardamom bun was delicious, the chocolate croissant was excellent, and the egg and cheese on a biscuit was probably my favorite thing I ate all weekend. I also picked up the blueberry and yuzu pastry, which I haven't tried yet, but at this point I have complete faith. I also just love the vibe in here. It feels warm and welcoming and like everyone is meant to be there. There are a bunch of fun things to look at while you're waiting in line, there's a great little outdoor area to sit and eat, and the whole place just feels GOOD. I was in London the prior week marveling at how good the bakeries were per their differential on butter and flour, but this place wiped that "London does it better" feeling right from my brain. Honestly, this is one of my favorite bakeries I've been to. I came back more than once while I was in the area and drove 30 minutes each way, which should tell you everything you need to know!

We…read morehave been for brunch, for their fresh breads and for their many amazing baked goods, but Le Perche is rarely open for dinner so we did not know what to expect. Dinner was OUTSTANDING. We started with their signature focaccia, fresh out of the oven. Then, a seasonal Asparagus Tarte that was very much a deconstructed version: a delicious butter crust at the bottom of the plate, frisée lettuce, perfectly prepared asparagus topped with a pecorino creme vinaigrette. The perfect spring dish. Next was a Tuna crudo with ramp oil, watermelon radishes, fresh microgreens and toasted hazelnuts. Finally, their take on a Frisée aux Lardons, served with pickled figs. The lardons themselves were nicely crisped, and very satisfying. We had Negronis for cocktails, and a generous carafe of rose, served off the tap. All around one of the best meals I've had. Can't wait for the next menu that Chef Jeffrey Gimmel puts together. Apparently this is a monthly series, so keep a look out and don't miss the June dinner, guessing end of June on a Saturday night?

They did not have a long selection but whatever we tried was great. We had their French omelette which was delicious: kale pesto and poached eggs with a side of salad. The pesto was so good.

My family felt a bagel would make a great mid-morning breakfast/early lunch option, so we gave Hudson Bagels a try. Each of us was quite pleased with our experience! The fella that greeted us upon entering was nice and helpful in guiding our selections. The bagels were fresh and as good as any NYC bagel I have ever eaten. My family and I couldn't have been happier with our visit. The only downside was the limited amount of indoor seating available, but that's not a complaint--rather, just something to know if you're planning of stopping in for a bagel. If the weather is cold, the outdoor seating isn't likely an option. I highly recommend Hudson Bagels! If I ever make it back to Hudson, I'll visit this shop again! :-)

I ordered the Chicken Sandwich, which was, surprisingly, a chicken SALAD sandwich. I'd envisioned a piece of chicken (which they said was "roasted") with the mentioned Dijon mustard and pickled onions and a side of slaw. Instead, the chicken was cut into chunks and smothered (And I do mean smothered.) in, what I presume was the endive slaw and Dijon mustard plus the pickled onions. Overpowering. This was served with a side of endive with vinegar dressing. The sandwich bread was delicious, though. They should change this item to "Chicken Salad Sandwich" instead of using "Chicken Sandwich." My friends ordered the breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon and a slice of the quiche, which they said were okay. These three lunches plus a small Coke and iced tea (I had water.) set us back $90.00 with the tip. Way overpriced for the food.

The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Unfortunately, they no longer have the sticky bun. Apparently, the cost of honey became too expensive to keep it on the menu. I was actually really disappointed because I drove all the way here specifically to try the sticky bun! Since we didn't end up eating a meal, I decided to try the cream puffs instead. They were light, airy, and had a nice texture, but they weren't very sweet. The sweetness was very subtle, which may be perfect if you prefer desserts that aren't overly sweet. I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere and to try their other offerings--but I'm still sad about missing out on that sticky bun!

And what a wonderful stop it turned out to be! We honestly had one of the best breakfasts of our entire trip. My son had the turkey sandwich, Mom enjoyed a delicious ham & cheese croissant, and I had the Philly cheesesteak with mushrooms,so good and satisfying! My daughter ordered the Dalgona coffee, and it instantly became her favorite. The food was fresh and delicious, the coffee was excellent, and most of all, the café has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere. You can really feel the personal touch and love that goes into this place. If you're visiting Hudson, New York, or traveling through the Hudson Valley, make sure to stop by Nolita's Cafe & Gallery on Warren Street. Support a wonderful local business, grab a great cup of coffee, and come hungry! What started as a rainy change of plans became one of our favorite food memories from the trip. We'll definitely be back!

What a gem of a coffee shop. I took my Aunts (mom's friends before they became relative through…read moremarriage) to Hudson, NY. Wound down the day and wanted them to get a little pick me upper. My Aunt Libby says it sounds Filipino...We go in and lo and behold it was! Halo Halo was out so I ordered coffee and they got tea. They also had yummy pastures like coconut muffin and they had mango. Everything was a delight and my Aunts liked it. Service was nice and cheerful but slow. They were packed so they get a pass. However they tried to get caught up and got what we ordered in good time. Ambiance is nice and quaint with indoor and outdoor seating. I can imagine this place getting packed in summer for sure. I liked it! So if you are in Hudson, NY and want some good drinks and other foods, hit Nolita up! Definitely a jewel in the countless number of coffee shops on the street.

The lighting was a little odd but it is a cute concept. It's a renovated bank building so lots high ceilings and marble floors. It's technically two businesses: a sit down restaurant with European fare and a cafe full of flaky pastries and all the bon bons you've ever wanted. We did a little of both. We ordered a cocktail and bergamot soda at the restaurant (both of which were quite refreshing!) along with a steak frites that we shared. The fries were more like wedges which I liked and it also came with roasted carrots. Then, for dessert we popped over to the cafe for the brown butter bourbon and rye chocolate chip cookie! What a delight! So many flavors that I love packed into a dense cookie. YUM! Overall, Banque is a nice stop for some elevated dishes and treats in Hudson. Cocktail and bergamot soda

"We don't have a cocktail menu, but we can make anything you'd like."…read more That was one of the first things our server told us, and honestly, it was refreshing. These days, it feels like every bar has a cocktail menu full of creatively named drinks that require reading a list of ingredients just to figure out what you're ordering. At Governor's Tavern, if you want a gin and tonic, you simply ask for a gin and tonic. The only decision you need to make is which gin you'd like. I'm not much of a cocktail person, but I appreciate that not every place feels the need to reinvent the wheel. The place was packed at lunchtime, but we got lucky and grabbed a pair of seats across from the bar. The server who I quoted was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Guinness, but unfortunately the keg had just kicked. She recommended the Samuel Smith chocolate stout instead and even brought me a sample before I committed to taste since I never heard of it, which was a nice touch. For food, we ordered the State Grill burger and the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. Both were excellent, and each came with Belgian-style hand-cut fries. If you're spending the day browsing the boutiques and antique shops along Warren Street and want a drink, a good meal, and a lively mix of locals and tourists, Governor's Tavern is worth a stop.
