Sweet spot opens

The Hudson Café has opened in Troy, joining a plethora of eateries that have opened along Big Beaver Road. It’s the third location for the restaurant – joining the original Hudson Cafe in downtown Detroit and the Northville Township location which opened in 2023. The café is famous for its over-the-top breakfast offerings such as the S’More French Toast, which is coated with graham crackers and stuffed with marshmallow and Nutella, and topped with chocolate chips and chocolate glaze, and the Oreo Pancakes topped with cream cheese frosting. There are plenty of healthy options to choose from for breakfast as well, like the smashed avocado toast on multigrain bread topped with guacamole and served with fruit and a choice of eggs. For lunch, there’s the classic Hudson Salad, a nod to the eatery’s namesake, featuring smoked ham & turkey, romaine hearts, gherkin pickles, green olives, and Swiss cheese tossed with Hudson’s signature dressing. For this project, Hudson Café owner Tom Teknos partnered Cortney Bogorad and Elyse Elwood. Teknos said the location in Troy made good business sense since they often ask customers where they are from, and Troy was a central location. Inside, the restaurant seats 70 people. The construction was handled by Birmingham-based Windy City Construction and the interior, which seats about 70, was designed by Olon Creative in St. Clair Shores. Hudson Café is open daily for breakfast and lunch. Reservations are available at all Hudson Café locations on Open Table. 700 W Big Beaver Road, Troy hudson-cafe.com
