“This place had an incredible Italian style sub. Top two in the state for a guy used to north Jersey and NY delis. By far the best within a half hour of Hudson. Very nice owners. Just a top notch experience.“

“Stopped in today. Very friendly owners and fantastic food. So glad to have this place 40 minutes from home. Well worth the drive.“

“I don’t live nearby, but every time I’m in the area I make sure to stop by and see Hannah Murphy! She always makes my protein shakes perfectly. The café and gym are both worth the visit — Hannah’s the best and makes the experience even better!“

“Shout out to wonderful workers there! The “pick up” team member saw me walk in sweaty and tired ( mid run on a 90 degree day) grabbing a Gatorade and water and immediately made eye contact and said she could help me so I didn’t have to stand in lane with the lunch goers. She was pleasant, efficient and I was so happy for the understanding and fast service!“

“We brought three generations to Special Teas to fulfill my mother’s wish to have tea with her daughters and granddaughter. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. The variety in teas allowed everyone in our group the opportunity to experience unique tea flavors. The food and desserts were phenomenally delicious and traditional and paired well with the tea fare. Thank you for giving us a wonderful afternoon and a memory that will last a lifetime.“

“Our favorite breakfast place.We’ve been going there for years..Great food and more than enough in their servings!!!Great homemade muffins….Even when we think of going elsewhere as a change,we end up there…..Very friendly staff,very attentive.Love the place!!!!“

“Pammy’s Place catered the baby shower we had (we picked up the food). There are not enough positive adjectives to describe what a truly FANTASTIC job they did!! We had a waffle station (with lots of toppings), scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, muffins and bagels (with cream cheese). I also had their salad with ranch and crispy chicken. We did have a few trays that we wanted to use and they had some. Everything looked and tasted wonderful. Plus the service….again not enough words ❤️❤️❤️“

“The bagels are made fresh daily. They sell day old bagels for a discounted price. The eggs are not microwaved, and the meat for the sandwiches are not microwaved either. Everything is made on a short order grill. I drive 30 mins out of my way to have someone ride do it right. I have not found a place within Worcester County that does it this good.

- Bon Appétit

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps. You can ambulate on in here.“

“Anna's food feelings like mom's home cooking. She knows exactly how I like my food and remembers me everyday. She greets me like an old friend. She always makes sure I am fed and is very aware of my allergies. I will always recommend this place.“

“Awesome breakfast and lunches, they treat you like family. Highly recommend.“

“I went for the first time, even though I didn’t care for what I ordered, I will go back again! ( I tried something new) The two people working were very friendly. They made every effort when I told them I didn’t care for my meal. I ended up with bagel and cream cheese that was really. My friend had a blt, she loved it. It’s comfy and nicely decorated.“

“I have been a frequent visitor to my local gourmet in Hudson. Ever since my first visit I have been hooked. Their flavored iced coffee is the best I have ever had. The staff are always super helpful and pleasant. I even have out of town family members eager to visit when they come to town.“

“Just oversaw my 3rd high tea event at this lovely, charming cafe and, all 27 of my guests had a fabulous time! The petit sandwiches, homemade scones and delectable desserts are so, so delicious, and so very filling! Many tea choices too! Great place for a baby or bridal shower, birthday party, company event, etc…. Also, breakfast and lunch on some days during the week. Lots of parking and right on Main St in Hudson. Come see for yourself! You won’t be disappointed 🎉🥳“

“They are always so friendly and never say no to my odd combination of menu items - everything is always fresh home made and ready minutes after ordering - always stop in when in area. Great value service and food must try“

“Both my kids will be starting at McKay arts academy one will go to kindergarten and the other to 5th grade I am very happy they will be going to this school I have heard nothing but great things about this school and staff. Happy school year to students and teachers.“

“I went in for lunch and had the BLT. Extremely tasty! Also paired it with a London Fog tea (don’t judge me) which was also great. I’ve been here a few times even though this is my first review but how can you not like this place?! Very chill friendly vibe with a little for everyone in here. Musical, literature, vinyl, and of course a plethora of business cards from various local talents. The workers and even the customers all make you feel wanted in here. If you get a chance definitely check this place out!!! 😎🤘“

The staff are also nice, I don't know the gentleman's name but he's always at the front (taking orders and checking out). He's patient and very nice.“

“What a fantastic gem of a restaurant.
The cute decor and homey feel was perfect. We arrived on a Saturday at 10:30am and it was packed, yet we only waited 7 min.
The waiter was very personable.
The Chocolate Chaud tastes like a melted fudge bar.
We had the potato leek soup, le burger with pork belly, crepes(arrived cold) and berries and duck potatoes(omg melt in your mouth).
I LOVE duck and it is very hard to find. Everything was phenomenal.
So why only 4 stars?
My one complaint. I got crepes and added strawberries. I expected to pay the $2. for berries. But they charged me an extra $1.85 for syrup! Not real Vermont syrup, but bottled syrup. There was maybe 2 tablespoons of syrup in the small metal container I was given.
I'm a chef at a breakfast restaurant. Syrup is a condiment. They don't charge for ketchup, so why syrup? And almost $2?! I could see if it was real syrup as an upgrade or something. I don't mind paying the high prices for the food as the quality was amazing. Worth it for the $27 burger! The soup? Some of the best potato leek we've ever had. But the nickel and diming just left us a bit disappointed after paying $6 for 6oz of OJ.“

“I would recommend the food is wonderful, usually the service is good! Almost always! Two weeks ago I was here and the girl that was at the register left the register because she was under pressure because supposedly I ordered too many things! She walked away crying if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work somewhere! I asked if you was upset with me I ordered you pick 2 cream of broccoli soup one turkey bravo half of sandwich a cup of iced coffee and some chicken for my dog one orange scone! So what’s the problem! I don’t know today when I went back to Panera bread the girl with the yellow nails was so nice to me, she is a great worker, but come to find out, the nice Brazilian girl in the kitchen said you complains last time and you made the girl cry I said how did I complain I never complained! Maybe she was just having a bad day but not because of me! I felt kind of off guard when I went to pick up my food, So again if you can’t handle the pressure don’t work at Panera bread! It’s my money and I spend it where I want to spend it I work hard for it so Customer is always right I wasn’t rude I was always pleasant every time I come here or anywhere I go me and my service dog! I like an apology from Panera bread this is a palling very disturbing! If I ask for something extra I pay extra for it bottom line the customers always right, if you want them to return! Treat them well, & leave your problems at home don’t bring them to work with you blaming others that your upset with them when in fact it’s something else that’s going on in your life! I did not treat her badly at all! For the record the rest of the staff is very nice, but when the girl started crying of course I felt very bad for her I thought someone died in her family or something no one told me that she was upset with me! Course I feel still feel bad for the poor girl maybe somethings happening in her life that she took it out on me on the customer don’t bring your problems to work! I hope that the manager talks to the girl to comfort her what ever she is upset with! But I know it was not me!“

“I get lunch here a few times a week as I work close by. I only have a 30 min lunch so I always order through the app and use the super convenient curbside pickup. I never have an issue with my food or service. Today my lettuce in my salad was pretty rotten. I called to let them know so they could toss what they had left and wouldn’t have any other complaints. Manager offered to refund my money and I said no. Not a big deal. 10 minutes later the manger was at my work dropping off coupon cards for me! What incredible service! She is the manager and she is running food for curbside, answering phones, AND driving to peoples work to make orders right?!?!? Someone give this woman a raise! And everyone reading this please be nice to your food service workers. They are feeding us during a global pandemic. Thank you!“

“This place looks a little underwhelming and slightly run down from the outside, but please don't let the exterior dissuade you. The interior is modern, clean and the Brazilian food inside looks and tasted amazing. I had the mixtos special sandwich. It was huge.. it had a whole chicken cutlet, ham, bacon, a poached egg and lovely gooey melted cheese on top. And to add some texture they add potato sticks and corn. It was ready in about 8 minutes. And I loved the combo. The prices are reasonable and I skipped my lunch after eating this sandwich! Give this place a try. The bakery was happening too and I bought a few chocolate covered cream puffs to go.“
