    THE MOST DELICIOUS BAKERY EVER. I mean everything is so so good. No matter what you get you can not go wrong. That vegetarian sandwich was so delicious! Service is so so nice and the ambiance is super chill. I can not recommend going out of your way to come to this bakery.

    Absolutely stellar breads, pastries, and sandwiches. There are only a few sandwiches on the menu on any given day; only one was vegetarian when I visited but it was outstanding. Easily top 10 sandwich. At $17 each they are not cheap, but they're substantial and easy to split if you're not ravenous. The beverage menu includes all standard espresso drinks, plus some creative seasonal options. There's also highly curated selection of dry goods, a few cheeses, eggs, and small homewares/gifts.

    After we overslept for our original brunch plans, a quick Yelp search redirected us to Mel. Do not trust the GoogleMaps directions! They led us to this back alley entrance when we could have easily entered from Warren Street. This place had a long line when we arrived and no indoor seating but it's right next to a little park with picnic tables and some additional seating in the park. In addition to providing coffee and pastries, it seems they have a little market space here too with lots of local goodies. It was cute! I ended up getting the pistachio croissant (which iirc was twice baked!) and my husband got the corn cookie with blueberry jam. It was the perfect brekky to tide us over until our lunch rezzies and fuel our morning walk around Hudson. The line did take quite a while to get through (maybe 20 minutes?) so definitely plan accordingly. This isn't a quick in and out on the weekends!

    This place was INCREDIBLE!!! My friends wanted to try this bakery back when they were in NYC but they sadly closed before they could. We all finally got a chance to try it in Hudson and loved it! The four of us ordered 9 pastries to share. I also ordered a chai latte for myself which was so good. Among the pastries, my two favorite savory ones were the garlic knots and shishito, sweet corn and cheddar pastry. My favorite sweet pastry was the raspberries and sweet corn cream. They packed our pastries expertly in a big box for us, and we found a picnic table outside to enjoy them at. We actually loved the pastries so much that we came back the next day for more!

    Really awesome spot that has bread that is out of this world, stellar pastries especially when focused on unique pastries like the goat cheese squash Danish, and a great grocery selection. Love their coffee as well, though I wish they did weekend breakfast sandwiches!

    Never made it to the one on the LES but came here in Hudson, braved the line, and it was well worth it -- the cookie, chocolate croissant, pumpkin danish, and smoked salmon sandwich were all incredible.

    Insanely good spot. I'm not sure if I was more impressed with the pastries I got or the bread, let alone the breakfast sandwich. Everything was worth trying and the group I'd purchased the items for couldn't get over the quality. The cinnamon roll is a must!

    this is the best bakery i've been to in the most recent years, you must make it a priority stop if you're headed upstate. the food: all sandwiches were TOP tier, i went twice and both times the chicken curry one was sold out. but my favoriteeee was the jambon beurre with pickles, so good! my other MUST ORDER will have to be the chocolate almond croissant, i have never had a pastry filled to the BRIM with the most delicious dark chocolate and almond filling. second favorite is a tie between the cinnamon roll (super unique) and the jalapeno one!!! the drinks: classic coffees that were pretty good! liked my americano. the space: it's small with a few seats by the bar the service: quick and kind

    I've been here a handful of times and have thoroughly enjoyed every bite of what I've ordered from them. The squash and goat cheese special I had today was phenomenal. Pastries always look almost too pretty to eat, but taste even better. It's a cute spot and always smells amazing in there. Employees are always friendly and helpful.

    Bread, honey, wine. Thank you Nora Allen for the excellent country loaf. Thank you Eva for the honey. And thank you McCalls Vineyard for the wine. All local New York State products. I took a quick trip to Hudson for the bread. Mels is a bit hard to find. It's squished in between the main drag of Hudson and a back alley. There was a short fast moving line when I dropped by. The staff was spot on. The storefront was spacious and simple. In for the bread. Out to the car. Home for the bread, honey, and wine. Perfect Sunday.

    Mel was bustling even at 9:02 am on a cold winter morning, with a line forming inside. This bakery is charming, stocked with unique local products and artisanal granola, jams, and chocolates. I came here for the pastries and the one that stood out was the "cinnamon roll croissant thing". If you're a fan of both cinnamon roll and croissants, this must be on your list. The pistachio almond croissant was beautiful and tasted exceptional. Highly recommend!

    I didn't realize how good this would be from the unassuming outside. But wow--you can tell they take their time with ingredients and flavor. My blueberry muffin was not only perfectly sweet yet not, it was so pleasing to the eye. The blueberry danish was bursting with fresh berries that kind of snuck up on you. The pastry case was such a joy to behold and I wanted to try it all.

    Italian Hero

    Mel has been on my list for a while - I mean, a twice James Beard Award nominee in my backyard?! Yes, please! I visited on a Friday afternoon and loved the park setting outside the bakery. It's especially great for those with kids and dogs. Upon entering the bakery, I noticed how clean and modern it was, as well as how many specialty grab-and-go food items and kitchen staples they had. It's always awesome to me to see small business owners supporting other businesses. Also, it's perfect for someone who just needs a couple of things and doesn't want to run into the supermarket. I decided to order the Italian Hero, which is a Friday only special, as well as the cinnamon roll. It was so nice that the bakery offers both sweet and savory options! The Italian Hero was delicious! The bread was incredibly fresh, and the sandwich was flavorful. Now, onto the cinnamon roll. The edible flower on top was so pretty, and it had a croissant texture instead of a dense, heavy traditional cinnamon roll, which made it a lighter treat. It was delicious - especially the cream cheese frosting! Overall, it's clear how passionate the staff and owner are about baking delicious delicacies for all to enjoy. Get to Mel and enjoy some fresh baked treats!

    See all

    I ordered a coffee in a to-go cup but wanted to sit down and drink some of it for a bit before I…read moreleft, so I asked if that was ok. The person I asked seemed to think this was a bizarre question but ultimately decided it was fine, as long as I could find a seat. Her tone would indicate that this was a near impossible task despite the shop having a population of exactly 6, but I managed to find one since I can identify what several empty chairs look like. I found it strange that I was waiting there for about 10 minutes, especially since the coffee I ordered was iced, but found it far more concerning that I was dumb enough to wait an additional 10 minutes after that before investigating. It turns out that there had been a cup of coffee poured, placed at the counter far from my seat, and in a position that was completely obstructed from my vision. It appeared to be iced as well. I asked if it was my coffee (since no one called my name, and if they did they didn't call it a second time) and was given "yeah" as an answer, presented in the manner one might respond to someone if they asked if we live on Earth. I had already sat for far longer than I intended to so I left, and luckily I was outside at this point because the coffee sucked and I was able to spit it out. I could have done that in the store too, but that would be impolite.

    We brunched at Hudson Roastery twice on our winter getaway weekend to the Valley. In a word: it's…read morea gem! The shop offers everything you want or need: comfy seating, warm environs, genuinely friendly and attentive service, delicious from-scratch foods and beverages, and good prices. The trays of homemade baked goods coming straight out of the kitchen looked and smelled wonderful, too. Hudson Roastery is really good at what it does. I highly recommend it!
