Great breakfast and lunch spot. They have there own coffee blends and most baked items are made in house. Staff is friendly and perfectly inventive. read more

Good service and probably the best breakfast in 20 miles. My only complaints are that the coffee isn't as good as Jersey Shore Coffee Roasters and they're frequently overcrowded with 30+ minute wait times but they don't allow for reservations. read more

The GREATEST breakfast anywhere!! Hudson French toast and the breakfast potatoes are amazing and my personal fav. Highly recommend! ALWAYS consistently FANTASTIC!!! My only breakfast spot! Staff is great also! read more

LOVE! Me and my husband recently moved to the area and I'm always on the hunt for the 'best' pancakes around...and I found them. So good. Plus the staff is so friendly, coffee is great and they have awesome outdoor seating options. read more

I gave an extra star just for the pancakes. Don't miss the pancakes with maple butter very good. A little pricy. Breakfast for two will be over $20 for sure. Omelet choice is most reasonable at $8.95. Eggs sounds like a bargain but to add any meat will cost you extra. But. Let me end this review like I started. Have the pancakes. Waitress was wonderfully friendly. I told her multiple times I lived the pancakes. Her suggestion: next time have the regular Hudson French toast. You tell me. read more

Hudson Cafe - All about the water around Atlantic Highlands. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

I really like this place for Breakfast. While they don't have a huge menu, everything they have is really good. There French toast and potatoes are amazing, in fact now that I mention it I am going to have to go there this weekend. Plus the service is really good and everyone is very friendly. The prices are pretty good as well. Overall, they have good food, good service, and good environment. They have gotten pretty popular and it isn't huge, so you may get a wait on a Sunday morning for a table, but it is worth it. read more

Very polite and inviting staff. Options to eat inside or outside on a nice day. They have lots of healthy options. They are also gluten free friendly. Be sure to try the pumpkin cold brew during the fall season! It is delicious. read more

We just moved to town and been to this place a handful of times and it is by far the best breakfast spot in town. We haven't had a chance to have lunch because they serve only breakfast on the weekends and close early weekdays. This place is definitely busy on the weekends but the wait is never too long and there is lovely seating outdoors, shaded and all. The wait staff are very friendly and give great service. So far we've tried their omelette, French toast, banana bread French toast, and pancakes. Everything was delicious and they have my absolute favorite pancakes on earth. They taste fantastic even without syrup... oh and the best kielbasa!! Coffee is great. They have multiple roasts. They have fresh squeezed orange juice too and a kids menu. Just one thing, it's a kid friendly establishment so a changing table in the bathroom would be great. read more

Nice place for some breakfast. The staff is kind and very attentive. I usually do not like pancakes but this place changed my mind. I Absolutely LOVED them!! (That's what they are known for) I had eggs with kielbasa and potatoes and even that was great! definitely recommend this place if you are in the mood for some yummy pancakes:) read more

Warning to vegetarians and all those whose religion prevents them from eating pork: Your hash browns/potatoes are cooked in bacon grease. My companion was very upset when she took a bite and tasted meat. Part of her omelet was up against these potatoes, and her toast was laying on top of it. The waitress had a nice demeanor but was perplexed as to why we were upset. She didn't offer to remake the dish. Instead, she watched as we cut part of the omelet away and awkwardly transferred the uncontaminated portion to a side dish. We asked for a new order of toast, which was rushed and not at all browned. She did not check on us again till we were at the end of our meal, which means we sat there wanting to order orange juice, more coffee, and more napkins, but, no dice. Even though the café was totally dead and there was no reason to be ignored by our waitress, I will try it again in the near future and hope for a better experience. read more

After an unplanned stay in ASbury Park as well as an unplanned morning Yoga session, my friends suggested we try here for breakfast. Upon arriving we were told that it was about a half hour wait - I should mention now, I had NOT had a chance to have coffee yet, and the fact that 30 minutes was standing in the way of my caffeine had me internally freaking out for a minute. However, one of our party had arrived before us, and they told her only 15... and our party grew from 3 to 5. As the rest of our party was showing up, we were seated almost immediately. The staff apologized profusely for the wait - it really wasn't that long, especially considering how small the place is. The menu sounds like a healthnut wrote is, and they might have, but it was a health nut with taste buds. The food is really good. I was actually disappointed I did not get the food bowl, which looked amazing! It wasn't a tiny cup of sad fruit, but a huge bowl of brightly happy looking fruit... with a little topping to go with it. I can never turn down unlimited coffee - which was way better then your typical diner coffee - and the prices are pretty cheap as well. Would definitely love to come back here next time we visit. read more

We made a reservation for 7 people at11. We made the reservation so we could meet to discuss a very important health issue as a family. At 11:07 they had given away our table. They told us to come back in half hour. We came back at 11:30. They had given away our table again. They wouldn't give us the open table right in front of us. Both owners and the cook started yelling at us. They lied.. they said i got there at 11:15 when I met the rest of my party in the parking lot after they got turned away the first time and never went up to the restaurant. I can only imagine them being so tough on themselves if they were 10 minutes late getting us a take. This restaurant has gotten to big for themselves. Awful bullies. Stay away. read more

Huge portions of fresh eggs, potatoes and whatever breakfast meat you fancy! Fresh fruit and super yummy coffee. Family friendly and super sweet staff - our new favorite breakfast spot for sure! Can not wait to go back - the omelets are hue too and they have gluten free toast for those who prefer it! read more

Hudson Cafe - Banana Bread French Toast!!! Wow!!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

A exceptional breakfast! The French Toast are heavenly , and the coffee is strong , but not bitter . Scrumptioulus. read more

My friend took me here one morning. We both have one year olds. They accommodated us with high hairs which were clean and in working condition. The place is on the smaller side, and can get crowded on the weekend. The pancakes, pancakes, pancakes! I swear they are such an easy item to screw up and The Hudson Cafe really does a great job. Their homemade syrup is TO DIE FOR. Try try try!! Portions were decently and surprisingly filling! The latte was also yummy. They had attentive staff and were very friendly but on a busy day, you'll need to stay on top of them as they seem to have been short handed. read more

They make in house fresh lemonade..today they had lemonade with blueberries, it was so refreshing. The food is very good, best around. I had the banana bread french toast, it was delicious. My kids had their and I quote "yummy pancakes!" The staff was very attentive considering how very busy they where. Very kid friendly. If your in the area, this is the place to go! read more

I love this place. Service is great and the ambiance is cozy and cute. Came here for breakfast, and since then I've been thinking about it almost every morning. The silver dollar pancakes are so fire with chocolate chips. read more

We loved it, four of us with baby in tow, had an amazing late breakfast served by the friendliest wait staff

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

Hudson Cafe is my go to place to stop by for a hot coffee, cold brew coffee, breakfast, or lunch. On every single one of those, they do an absolutely phenomenal job. The entire staff at the Cafe is incredibly friendly and does a great job at delivering a great experience! This is the best breakfast in town, hands down! Close your eyes and point and the menu and you just can't go wrong. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the french toast. They roast their own beans for the coffee and it's my favorite spot in town to nab a cup. Great to be able to walk over and grab a bag of beans here for those times later in the day when they aren't open, too! Obviously, this means I wind up leaving with a bag of beans, a cup of coffee, and something from the case of pastries.... Those vanilla bean scones are greatness! And the donuts! I have lunch here multiple times a week and they always deliver something great! From salads to burgers, they always make it tasty. The Impossible Burger has been a great addition, the grilled chicken special is always off the charts, the classic club... Ah, that turkey burger! What it boils down to: Living in Atlantic Highlands, if I was taking someone out to breakfast or lunch in town, this is where I would go without hesitation. read more

Best coffee in Monmouth county! They also have homemade brewed teas seasonally. The food is exceptional, everything from french toast, omelettes, and blts grilled cheese and salads for lunch. Everything is simple yet over the too. Love the pork roll egg and cheese special!! read more

This place is amazing! Hands down the best breakfast ever. 2nd visit was just as good as the first. If it was closer to me I might be here everyday! I had the spiked up egg white scramble. Delicious isnt even good enough, it is beyond the best! read more

Super impressive breakfasts. They make homemade maple butter for french toasts and pancakes which is legit. Will absolutely be back!!

Awesome breakfast. Found this place on Yelp based on the reviews. Had the blueberry pancakes because everyone was raving. It didn't disappoint. The best pancakes I've ever had. read more

This place is amazing. The best French toast I've ever eaten. Try the maple butter syrup. Pancakes and everything else fantastic. Everything is always fresh. read more

This place is absolutely wonderful. I work in Atlantic highlands, so once lunchtime comes around, I have a lot of options. I tried Hudson Cafe within a month of me working in town, and I can't get enough. The breakfast is out of this world. This place puts Sissys to SHAME! The lunch at Hudson Cafe is amazing also! Just don't expect any French fries with your order. Plus, the Mac and Cheese can be better. I recommend the Chicken Cesar wrap, your mind will be blown. This place only serves breakfast on weekends so plan accordingly! Lunch is personally my favorite. I love this place! read more

Delicious lunch, good service, low prices. What's not to love about this place? I really like the chicken salad sandwich. read more

This is a good place for lunch in Atlantic Highlands. Sandwiches, salads and a not too bad mac and cheese, which I had. A crock of penne, sausage, and a goopy cheese sauce topped with a gratin of cheese. It wasn't bad and hit the spot for lunch. A nice selection of sandwiches and salads so its not a bad spot for a quick lunch. read more

I really love a place wherein the dishes are named after the folks who work there. This place has a friendly, hippie vibe to it. The kind of vibe you get at Jersey Roasters or some beachside bar in the Carribean (except, uh, no beach). At least that's how I feel with the service -- you're always welcome, they'll feed you loads of food, and you'll want to come back and try the other dishes. It's not a huge menu, but when a place serves REAL kielbasa (not, I repeat, NOT Hillshire Farms) you know that you have a gem of place. Those omelettes with the potatoes on the side will definitely keep your tummy happy til dinner. Not just by the sheer size of it (which I must add is considerable, be warned) but the taste. OMG, yum. Think I know what I'm having for breakfast tomorrow. :) read more

This is our go to breakfast place. My daughter who is 3 loves their pancakes more then any other place. Their bacon is delish along with their breakfast potatoes. My favorite is Janine's omelette. read more

Terrific local breakfast stop. Super fresh fruit, hearty omelette and excellent coffee. Great place to catch up on its friends over bottomless coffee. In walking distance to marina. read more

Cozy place with a fresh menu. Not your average breakfast. From what I hear, owned by sisters and each specialty omelet named for each and unique as they are I'm sure. Had the Stephie with kielbasa, mushrooms and cheddar. It was delish and by far the fluffiest omelet I've ever seen. The hash browns gave a clue how good this was gonna be. After tasting the crispy oniony delights, I knew I was in a place that got it. They even offer regular or fresh squeezed OJ. Really? If I only lived closer! 200 miles is quite a hike for breakfast! read more

Best. Blueberry. Pancakes. Ever. Seriously, I couldn't stop talking about them. And eating them, of course. They didn't even need syrup. Service was great. A commenter below warned vegetarians about the potatoes being cooked in bacon grease...our waitress actually told my sister (a vegetarian) about this when sis ordered a dish sans meat (without sis even asking about the potatoes). The cook offered to make them for her without the bacon. So clearly they've improved their methods since that review. The coffee was pretty excellent, as were the egg dishes. My whole party had a great experience here, I'd recommend it for sure. Oh, and did I mention the pancakes? read more

This was a fantastic place. .The breakfast was amazing and the service was great. We loved the eggs and multi grain toast! Price isn't bad either. read more
