Cute little spot here. We were attracted to it with some good music coming off its porch thay had benches and umbrellas. Besides selection of coffees, they had a really refreshing pink lemonade, tasty! I would come back if visiting Keansburg, and Highlands again read more

Gorgeous and cozy cafe in downtown Atlantic Highlands! Wonderful, friendly staff and an overall great vibe (note, seating is limited so you may have to wait). The only downside is the lunch menu has limited vegetarian options (I will have to come back for breakfast), but they were able to swap anything and make a custom sandwich! I got the italian grilled cheese which was absolutely delicious. read more

Hudson Cafe - Italian grilled cheese - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

Love love love this cafe....I have a few staple items I am hooked on you can't go wrong with breakfast or lunch. I will make mention of the fact that Tuesday thru Friday they only offer the lunch item on the menu and Saturday and Sunday the breakfast menu is the only one available. This popular haunt is a favorite amongst locals in the area so be mindful on the weekend especially when trying to get a table...it will be difficult but it's worth the wait. Amanda and Ashley are superb waitresses and make great recommendations if you're not sure what to get. Hudson cafe (during the week) has special items not on the menu. It's a casual comfortable place to people watch if you sit outside or just the perfect place to catch some sun (everyone loves these outdoor seats in the summer). Don't let the simple decor sway you.....you are in for a real treat if you eat here. They also have specialty coffees and fresh squeezed orange juice on the menu. read more

This is my favorite breakfast spot in the area. If you come here, you absolutely have to try the banana bread french toast!!!! It is thick cut pieces of banana bread cooked up like french toast with a light maple syrup and fresh bananas over top. I do not come here without ordering it and I recommend it to everyone I know! The service is always great. I love it here in the summers when outdoor seating is available. They also have a great cold brew coffee selection. Love this place! read more

We had an early Sunday breakfast at the Hudson Café, and could not be more impressed. We sat outside, which was comfortable and pup friendly. From the start, we were welcomed by professional and accommodating staff. Ok, all that is great, but what about the food? It was delicious! The menu is ideal--not fussy or fancy, just solid perfectly seasoned fresh food! I had the "Katelyn's Spiked Up Egg White Scramble," which was loaded with fresh veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, carmalized onions, and spinach) and a nice side serving of fresh fruit. I felt healthy and happy after enjoying it! My husband gave a rave review for the "Angie," which featured Applewood smoked bacon, avocado, and Jack cheese. The side potatoes were the most delicious ever--the kind you crave long after the meal! The coffee was superb, right from their own roasted beans from the Hudson Coffee Company. If you are looking for a delicious breakfast place in Atlantic Highlands, NJ, look no further! We can't wait to return! read more

Hudson Cafe is always a delicious stop for breakfast and lunch! You can never go wrong with any of the items on the menu. The coffee is delicious and is roasted at their location in Keansburg. I highly recommend the cold brew or the hot brewed coffee! I absolutely love the banana bread french toast, but you also can't go wrong with the different omelet options offered. I ordered the french onion grilled cheese which was the special of the day, and it was absolutely delicious. The onions were perfectly done and I'm just sad it's not on the normal menu to order again! The service is always great, and everyone is so friendly. The cafe is cute and gets very busy on weekends- for good reason! They don't take reservations, so going early will help you get seated faster! In nice weather it's also nice to be able to sit outside at the outdoor tables. If you're looking for a great lunch or breakfast spot, this is definitely the place to be and is my favorite in the area! read more

Cool little place I visited with my sons on a work trip over the weekend. I could tell it was going to be good as I watched other guests being served their food. Everything looked good from the egg sandwiches to the French toast. We ordered an omelette, pancakes and some breakfast meats. Everything came out perfect. The pancakes were hearty and filling. My eldest son and I got cold brew coffee which was great. The service was so good and quick. It was a cute little place inside too. Glad we found this place! read more

Good breakfast. Indoor and outdoor seating. It's small so a bit noisy. They offer gluten free bread "with the egg dishes" but refused to make French toast with it. Didn't seem like much to ask. Service was good. read more

I'm dog sitting in New Jersey this week and am excited to try some new places! I ordered chili and chicken salad for my brunch combo! Both dishes were not as seasoned as I would've made at home and perhaps it's a regional or cultural thing. The turkey chili was hearty and homey though the meat was ground pretty fine. The texture wasn't unpleasant, just different, and the flavors were clean. The chicken salad was also clean flavored, and maybe that's where the fewer spices come in. The tomatoes were juicy and ripe and the lettuce crisp and fresh. The staff was very pleasant and hearing the Jersey accented chatter around the cafe was charming for this city Southerner. The place is clean and family friendly and they make a descent cup of coffee served with half n half in a creamer dish instead of 1/2 oz packets. A very nice cafe experience overall. read more

This is the perfect neighborhood spot. Amazing coffee, incredible food and the best service with the nicest owners! It's a family run business and you can tell from the moment you walk in because it has such a family friendly vibe. They knew my coffee order after one time and it has such a cozy, neighborhood feel. The food is top notch. Huge portions for such an affordable price. The owner also bakes all of the pastries in-house and they are incredible. We bring them to every gathering and they are always a hit. This is such a unique and special spot and I would highly recommend to anyone in the area! Never change, Hudson Cafe. read more

Popular place. Amazing food. Smiling staff. I have no complaints. This was a nice experience with the family. I recommend.

Such a cute quick place to dine! My cousin and I came to enjoy some breakfast, there wasn't a hostess or anything. Outside was packed as it was a beautiful day. We sat inside and we're greeted quickly. The coffee was so good! Small menu but easy to choose from. read more

Best coffee and breakfast place in Atlantic highlands. They always have specials and fresh baked goods that are to die for. The array of scone they have everyday is one of the best parts of Hudson cafe. The French toast, Caesar salad and pancakes are great choices that won't disappoint. I also love the different lemonades they do in the summer months. Friendly atmosphere and they always make you feel like a regular! read more

GLUTEN FREE PERSON ATE HERE AND LOVED IT! Great little cafe with wonderful aromas of comfort food to warm your soul. The smell of delightful coffee thru the air made me just wanted to grab a book and stay a bit. Fresh food, great service and Gluten free options.....what more could you ask for. Yes GF bread and very careful in the preparation of the your GF food. But don't worry they have lots of bread with gluten too. Had a wonderful house salad and then an amazing BLT sandwich. Just thinking about it makes me want one right now. My friend had a fantastic bowl of soup and grilled cheese. Not just comfort food, many healthy food items also, just depends on your mood. They serve breakfast and lunch. The staff is beyond helpful and attentive. Really enjoyed my visit and will return soon. read more

I feel like Hudson doesn't even need a review because everyone knows how amazing it is! I've been going in the past few weekends, everything is so fresh and delicious! From the brioche French toast, the fluffy pancakes or my personal favorite, the banana bread French toast-you can't go wrong! Today I had something as simple as the fruit bowl and they took it up a few notches! So worth it. My newest coffee obsession is the iced Carmel. So delicious! The service is also great, we love ang! Will ask for her every trip in! read more

This family-owned place is a go-to spot for breakfast. The food is delicious and portions are generous. I'm normally a bacon lover, but their maple sausage is hard to pass up. Just a heads up -- this place is known to be good, so there might be a wait if you get there later in the morning, but it's always worth it read more

Been here a couple of times. Breakfast and lunch place. Both are awesome. Great menu and awesome vibe to the place. Food made to order so be prepared to wait. ( it's worth it). The blt is awesome it's with Avocado and tomato paste. And after your meal you can walk the water and see the nice town. Please stop in you won't be disappointed. read more

One of our regular place to eat and get coffee since it's a few blocks from our workplace. Great for breakfast, and lunch since they close like 2-3pm. It's a family owned restaurant whom are nice and pleasant people. They have daily specials if you don't want anything on their menu. They serve salads, sandwiches, soups, and cold brew. I usually get their mushroom soup, and ceasar salad w/ grilled chicken. Their mac n cheese w/ kielbasa is tasty and very filling. They also have sweet pastries like scones, cookies, woopy pie, etc. read more

Would not return do to poor service. Our order was placed in a timely manner. When breakfast arrived my wife's eggs were runny when she had ordered over medium. When I inquired about a coffee for my wife it was like I was bothering the waiter. For a 20 dollar breakfast per person with coffee at the very least you should be asked if everything came out ok. Stay away unless you don't mind poor service read more

I am a lifelong resident who I feel am late to the party here. Have had 4 weekend breakfasts there and I would say the best omelet's I have had out. Potatoes are awesome and I like no butter on my toast and they always get it correct. Coffee is good and hot and the portions are great. Great spot and I haven't had lunch here yet but will for sure. read more

One of the best omelettes I had in a long time. Fluffy, perfect amount of sausage and cheese. The pick de Gallo had a slight kick and was on point. The potatoes were a perfectly cooked. Wish more breakfast places were like this. The service was quick and friendly. The dog was allowed to sit with us too outside. read more

Hudson Cafe - The Janine. She didn't disappoint. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

What a cute little spot! Stopped her for breakfast. We sAt right outside and waited about 10 minutes. When we sat our waitress came right over and took our drink order. I ordered a cappuccino and it tasted so good! The menu was basic breakfast food but everything was fresh. I got over easy eggs with toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the toast was good as well. We also ordered pancakes and they came with a maple butter syrup. It was really yummy. Overall good cute little spot for breakfast. read more

I'm not hard to please, yet I feel compelled to disagree with the consensus of this place. The portions are ginormous!! Is that a good thing, I'm not so sure. Breakfast plates are enough for 2 people to share. Nobody is interested in take home leftovers at breakfast. Secondly the concept is great the execution was lacking. We loved the banana bread French toast but it came swimming in syrup. Bad call kitchen staff there's no warning and it ruined the dish. The andouille omelette was also hard to bash but the sausage was over cooked and the caramelized onions were barely sautéed. Big let down. Breakfast was $30 bucks with tip and I felt cheated. Okay this place gets raves and I can't totally bash the food it was very good but not great which is what I expected. The real killer was the dining area, just too loud and crowded. At breakfast I want a chill atmosphere but I started getting stressed I've my inability to hear my girl from across the table. Equally getting your waitresses attention takes semi fore flags. C'mon just 1 napkin? You know the size of your meals you should offer drop cloths! So I give 3 stars, the food was acceptable to the average diner but for big city hotel prices I want better. Treat andouille with respect don't grill it and kill it. Take more time to make real caramelized onions (don't cheat). You don't have to douse your best dish with syrup. We are all capable of pouring it ourselves. Not certain I'll give this place a second chance. read more

I have to update my review to go up a star. We come here every weekend now for breakfast, it's probably our favorite spot in town. Honestly, I have an unhealthy obsession with their pancakes. Their omelettes too are just amazing, the Janine...oh man so good. The banana bread french toast, I mean c'mon. The service is always so friendly, helpful and they always recognize us and our daughter, it makes us feel at "home" and that is one of the main reasons we continue to come back. They know and appreciate their customers. My only wish is to add pork roll to the menu, but let's be real I don't need to be eating that too. If you are in town this is a must visit for breakfast or lunch. read more
