    Ricotta sandwich
    Sharmila S.

    While in Hudson, one morning I stopped at Makers Cafe for breakfast. The ambiance was old world clubby but welcoming. But a hungry traveler would be advised to avoid the ricotta open faced sandwich. Or order two of them. Topped with the freshest of cheese, almonds, figs and local honey-what other type would be permitted?-the sandwich whets your appetite but leaves you unsated.  At $18, I label this sandwich A Tease.  The cappuccino sidekick was good. But- no heart in my foam? I missed what has become table stakes in the world of coffee, the expressions of love from unknown baristas to me, written in their unique love language.  I can't fault this place or the charming pigtailed lass who served me. But like our hero of Oliver Twist, I can't help but wish for...more.

    Oooo definitely a lovely upscale ambiance with dimmed, cozy, middle eastern/Mediterranean vibe inside. Cute comfortable seating and prime windows for people watching! We stopped in for a coffee and pastry so cannot speak to the whole menu but our pastries were next level (though definitely pricey). The jam donut we shared @ The Maker might go down in history as one of my favorite donuts and the croissant was pretty fresh tasting as well. Matcha was very earthy and chai latte was not too sweet. I'd love to revisit this place in the evening or on a rainy day!

    This is a beautiful cafe in a very classy hotel. I came for breakfast on a Tuesday when not much is open in Hudson, NY. I enjoyed a delicious pot of tea, and the almond waffle topped with berries. My server was very helpful and friendly, and I enjoyed the jazz music in the background.

    Really great place if you're looking for good food and a pretty ambiance that feels like from another era. We had a delicious breakfast on our last day in Hudson and they were accommodating with the 2 babies we had with us. I had a flat white, ham and cheese croissant, and a chicken veg soup, all of which were delicious! Everything hit the spot for me~~ There is only one big bathroom in the space with no changing table, but there was a credenza in the bathroom that we were told we could use as a makeshift one, which was fine.

    This place is cute and quaint and delightful. Not to mention, everyone there is SO unbelievably friendly and nice. More over, they are genuinely happy. We happened upon this place while searching for a place to grab breakfast. They don't serve a breakfast breakfast (it's mostly pastries, muffins, tea, coffee and breakfast sandwiches.) We decided that wasn't what we wanted and started to leave. Just as we were about to, the manager happened to be walking by (knowing nothing about our wavering) and was so chipper, telling us, "you've got to try the ham, egg and cheese sandwich. It's to die for.) His friendly disposition and hype of the breakfast item was enough to make us stay. And he was right, it was delicious. But it's more than that. The cafe, which is part of the hotel there) is just adorable. It's part coffee house (people were there with laptops and books) and part the kind of place friends meet up to grab a light bite and delicious coffee and baked goods, which are made fresh daily nearby. It's hard not to love this place or feel like you're at the place where everyone knows your name.

    Lunch for two, New Year's Day. The inviting ambiance, design and mood is so delicious here. Big windows, mirrored walls, low tables and chairs, dark wood accents, vintage details and pretty floor tiles. The idea of this place is a tribute to the best European coffeehouses ... and they do it well. They have a to-go counter in addition to the sit down option with fewer menu and drink varieties. We ordered the roast beef sandwich, beet and gin cured lox sandwich, mimosa, wine and the Oaxacan hot chocolate. And a chocolate chip cookie to-go. All were SPECTACULAR. I seriously cannot wait to go back for dinner or to get drinks or stay at the hotel when life is normal again. 100% recommend!

    We came to the cafe a couple of times in the spring when we were visiting Hudson. Loved the ambience, feels like a lounge from a different century. Both of the times we came for coffee and a croissant early in the morning. The pistachio croissant is by far the best croissant I ever had, which is solely the reason why we came again the following morning. It will be my first stop if I am to return to Hudson. We had no problem with the service, no wait time, everyone was nice. Would highly recommend!

    After walking up and down Warren Street, the Maker Cafe is a great spot to take a load off and enjoy a nice coffee and a pastry. The interior is beautiful, service friendly, and also has great outdoor seating perfect for people watching. I will definitely be back when I am in the Hudson, NY area.

    Walking around Warren street we stumbled upon The Maker Cafe. Walking in it is adorable. They have a beautiful seating area and a lovely pastry counter that holds so many delicious morsels (I wanted everything). But let's get to the best part - the food. Given that it was early we didn't want to eat too much so that we wouldn't spoil our lunch. I ordered the yogurt parfait with citrus marmalade and Jeffrey ordered ham, egg and cheese sandwich. I also ordered white peony loose leaf tea and coffee for him. The yogurt came with granola. It was delicious, but how can you mess up anything with a large amount of citrus marmalade?! LOL. His breakfast sandwich looked delicious. It had a fried egg on it that of course got a little messy. Amazing! Pretty good little quick bite spot. I was watching other dishes come out and I think we ordered the wrong items. The other items coming out of the kitchen looked so much nicer than ours! I was jealous! LOL. Now we are going to have to go back!

Now first off, don't get me wrong, buying in bulk or sacrificing the quality of some ingredients to large suppliers like this is definitely a reality when running a restaurant. Even moreso in this day and age when ingredient prices are exorbitant. That said, it needs to be reflected in the price point. Pastries are arranged beautifully under cloches in the display case, but I could spot the premade, ready-to-bake spinach feta bistro (https://www.chefswarehouse.com/products/QZ119984/) or ham and cheese croissant (https://www.chefswarehouse.com/products/99971/) from a mile away. The avocado spread on the preassembled breakfast sandwiches is definitely the pulp from the 3lb bag from Chef's Warehouse too. I know that taste! All of that said, they had a few items in the case that I'm sure weren't from one of these big vendors. Which was great to see. My (yes, unsolicited!) advice would be to pare down the menu. Offer just a bit less so you can focus on the quality. Try and tap into some local producers if you can! That's one of the best things about the Hudson Valley... how much all the purveyors and markets and cafes support each other. It's clear too how much they care about the community. They're dog friendly inside. No WiFi to encourage people to chat with one another. Fine. I really want to see this place continue to thrive, it's just a bit of a bummer that a significant part of the menu including things that really should be fresh, aren't.

I tried three items: the blueberry corn cookie, maple cruller, and the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich. All were fantastic. The corn cookie was a novelty. It was crumbly and slightly gritty, as corn pastries tend to be. It wasn't too sweet. Although I'm glad I tried it, the cookie pales in comparison to the cruller, which was deliciously sweet, with crisp edges and a soft, custardy interior. The sandwich was great, as well. The eggs were fluffy, the bun soft, the bacon thick and crisp. It was good! If you're visiting Hudson, make this your first stop!

You can get the whole chicken, half or quarter. For me, quarter was more than enough. If you get a quarter chicken, you get two sides. If you get half a chicken, then you get three sides. I feel like it should be the opposite to offset the amount of food. But honestly it was perfect, still a big portion. For sides, they offer crispy fingerling potatoes, cole slaw, market salad and butter rice. Their Cole slaw is amazing with that poppyseed dressing. And salad had a variety of greens and crunchy toppings with a light dressing. Also! The plate comes with two sauces - spicy chili oil (mild) and yogurt dip. It was all SO FREAKING GOOD. I'm a dipper so bring on the sauce! The drink offering is also abundant. Lots of craft sodas, botanical drinks, coffees and a full bar in the back. Ghia hit the spot for me. It's not cheap but for this quality of food it's more than worth it. For the vibe..it's a confused vibe. You order at the counter and sit down with a number to wait for your food. The decor is eclectic which I thought was fun. But the music.. it went from country to weird edm dance music. I think Kittys can gain a lot from a curated playlist. Sitting there I felt curious and excited to be immersed more but it wasn't giving.
