Hudson Cafe on verge of opening in Northville
The long-anticipated grand opening of the Hudson Cafe in Northville Township could arrive by Valentine’s Day.
The eatery, which has been a popular destination for hungry people in downtown Detroit since 2011, is expected to open around mid-February.
“We cannot wait to feed the people of Northville, their guests, and the surrounding areas,” Hudson Cafe said in an Instagram post when it announced its expansion to the western suburbs in October.
The Detroit location’s hours are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, with closing time stretched to 3 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
Early-day energy
Given the hours it’s open, the restaurant’s vast menu is highlighted by big breakfast and brunch offerings.
The Northville site — a former Applebee’s located a stone’s throw from the intersection of Six Mile and Haggerty roads, was designed by Olon Interior.
The origin of the eatery’s name comes from the fact it is located across from a former iconic Detroit retail space.
“Our name is a nod to the iconic Hudson’s department store, which was located directly across the street from us on Woodward Avenue, and Detroit’s heyday as a bustling, cosmopolitan city,” the restaurant’s website explains. “We have been blessed ever since to watch the city progress and grow around us.
Wide, delicious variety
“Our mission is simple: to celebrate the diverse, hustling, resilient city of Detroit and its people by consistently providing amazing food and a stellar experience. Our expansive menu has something for everyone: whether it’s our take on the famous Maurice salad that your grandparents remember from Hudson’s, a heaping stack of Cinnabun pancakes for the dessert-for-breakfast person in your life, a Voodoo benedict for those who love an adventurous take on an old classic, or Mickey Mouse pancakes for the little ones, we’ve got you covered.”
The restaurant’s menu includes a robust list of children’s (“Little Friends”) offerings, sides, salads and sandwiches to go along with its renowned breakfast-themed items.
