The Hudson Cafe, with locations in Detroit, Troy, and Northville, offers a variety of tantalizing breakfast choices, but an order of piping hot pancakes is a must. Lovefood says:

The Hudson Cafe, a local hotspot loved for its lengthy breakfast menu, knows how to pull in the customers – and that’s with ridiculously tempting pancakes like the Oreo and the Chunky Monkey, a moreish combination of caramel, white chocolate chips, and banana. Prefer crêpes? The joint, which has locations in Downtown Detroit, Troy, and Northville, offers a selection of sweet and savory options, with everything from Nutella and banana to bacon and Brie.

Customers also rave about the Apple Walnut French Toast served with Cinnamon raisin bread, topped with apple flambé in simple syrup, walnuts, and stuffed with sweetened cream cheese frosting. Or try a savory option such as the Thanksgiving omelette with turkey sausage, spinach, cranberries, and Swiss cheese.
