9 Best Cafes near Lorenz Park

“This Thanksgiving we decided to sit back, relax, and let some else do the cooking. After ordering from here, i don’t think I’ll ever cook again. The turkey is the best I’ve had. We have enough for leftovers for a week. Definitely recommend for anyone next year!“

“This is a great low key coffee shop with excellent vegan and gluten free options - a true gem in the area. The coffee was good, the service was great, and the vegan and gluten free "puffs" were excellent. Highly recommend grabbing some of those along with whatever you order. We got the rice bowl (V, GF) and cashew cream cheese toast (they also have gluten free bread) and the vegetable platter, which is three small bowls of kraut, all of which were great. Plenty of space for groups here and enough tables to come and do work. If we lived here we would definitely be regulars.“

“The thing that blew me away is the beauty of the menu and people. Everything on the menu works together and against itself. Somehow on 1 menu there is pate, porridge, pasta, bologna, a $15 shrimp, foie gras, and a cocktail with the word poo in it. It's like the rest of Hudson- a group of people doing whatever makes them happy and it's great. We went here twice in 18 hours. The menu changed - somehow The decor is quirky, the staff is friendly and answered everyone of my questions, the food is decadent and incredibly well executed The kitchen is exposed - and silent. Somehow through a lunch rush and brunch rush everything was spot on and not a single shout from the kitchen - perfectly orchestrated. The bologna sandwich - velvety and decadent. Only a few ingredients - but well thought out. Couldn't be made any better. The friggen crepe - fluffy and flat at the same time. Beautiful flavor - maybe buttermilk? Some other acid? Charred and barely cooked at the same time. Makes no sense The tartare - incredibly flavorful with some crunchy bits of celery? or something. The bread was just very toasted white bread. Simple and perfect The porridge - modeled as a congee with flavorful chili oil and a barely poached egg Teccione pasta - mushrooms and chives in a thin butter sauce - so rich but still light“

“Relaxing lowkey spot with some major grandma vibes. Classic American breakfast food done right. Fluffy ENORMOUS pancakes, perfect home fries, and tasty crispy bacon. Service was quick and the owners are lovely. Don't be surprised if you have to wait up to 10 minutes to be seated, it's small and clearly word has gotten out about this gem. Highly recommend!“

“Checked out this store while I was in town. It was very cute. Jack at the counter was wonderful and informative! The espresso was delicious! The shop is overloaded with specialty items! The fresh produce looked great. They had a lot of local goods. When I'm back in the area, I'd go again!“

“So I had the most well balanced and thoughtful BLT of my life on Saturday. Had to come back Sunday to try other bites - breakfast burrito was also ideally ratio-ed (consistent precision clearly) and each b-fast burrito component was intentionally cooked to perfection. But I gotta say, the pastries blew my top off. My goodness. Specifically their Sweet Bun - a sweet and savory matrimony made in Heaven, a crispy sugary glazed crust encasing an angelic cloud like center - this bun slapped me back to being a child again. This decedent yet tastefully crafted bundle of love has secured Willa’s as a mandatory stop whenever I’m back in town. Special shout out to Greg for the love he clearly pours into his pastries.“

“So I was on Warren street in downtown Hudson and googled the best pancakes and ended up finding Lindsay’s the food was definitely worth the drive but the service was incredible! The waitress was so happy, kind, and attentive. Not to mention the prices are great, so you can sample a few different options and not break the bank! This place is GEM! Thank you Athena for a wonderful experience!“

“Yummy & Friendly. I attended the Greene County Chamber breakfast this morning at The Athens Rooster. It was my first visit. The food was delicious, the service/hospitality fabulous and I was genuinely impressed by how clean and fresh the place both looked and felt.The aesthetics of the Rooster coupled with the great food and service are an tremendous combo.“
