I stopped at the Maker Cafe, a new to me restaurant, after a morning of hiking at Olana. Very comfortable seating, friendly staff, and delicious food. I enjoyed an exceptional cup of coffee with a breakfast sandwich. I will definitely be back.

Everything at Marker Café is done thoughtfully—from the menu to the service. A must-visit spot 🥂

Nice spot but great decor. It's really busy. We ordered hot chocolate instead of coffee. It was really good. We opted to sit in the living room by the hotel since the cafe was packed.

What would have otherwise been a stellar experience was soured by the blatant dismissiveness and disgraceful attitude of one of the staff members who delivered our drinks today. Inconsistent service and as a first-time visitor an extremely off-putting customer service experience - to the point I complained to the GM immediately after.

One of my favorite go to spots in Hudson to have a bite. Great sandwiches, bakery items and tea! Excellent atmosphere.

Very dog friendly which was great for us. I ordered a turkey sandwich which was expensive and pretty ordinary considering the price. Very nice customer service.

Nice spot for a quick lunch. Pita was warm and thick. All other elements of the bowl were standard but held together well. Bellini was a pleasant juicy treat. Server was pleasant considering the demanding crowd. Great space with uniques findings and lots to look at.

I've come to The Maker since it opened, eating dinner in the restaurant and stopping in the cafe several times. I was even a member of the gym for almost 2 years. I can count on one hand how many times I have been greeted walking into any of the spaces. Cafe staff always take heavy sighs before taking my order (i've never ordered anything more complex than coffee to go or a salad to stay, and this has happened literally every single time I've come in since 2020). Just today, two workers walked away so they wouldn't have to take my order. When I was a gym member, I was asked several times if I had signed in in the middle of my workout (which the lazy racism there isn't even the worst part, it's just really strange that a place where you self sign-in would suddenly ever be alarmed I was there). I was accused of tracking snow into the gym even though I always change my shoes to use an indoor pair, I'd see members leave cups of water all over the gym and they'd be in the same place 24 hours later, and when I went to cancel my membership, I was still charged. So those are my old complaints there. But today, I was just reminded that regardless of whether I spend money and time at your facilities or just pop in for a coffee or a work meeting, I've had so many demoralizing experiences here that I need to stop coming. I popped my head into a part of the hotel and didn't realize it was a private event and was trying to walk out once I realized that, and a woman came rushing toward me literally shooing me away telling me to leave. Again, I don't want to blame racism but no one addressed anyone else in the room who wasn't leaving, so please consider how that comes across. I don't know whether it's low staff morale, if the staff really is that busy, or what I am doing wrong so consistently, but I needed to let you know that I will never recommend the maker for anything anymore when there are so many luxury experiences in town or nearby.

We stopped in for coffee and some pastry. The building is very interesting. The sitting area is neat and comfortable. We have talked about spending a night or 2 at the Maker. Hudson is enjoyable to visit. Many interesting things along Warren st.
The Maker Cafe is one of our favorite breakfast and brunch spots in town. They have the most beautiful pastries made locally, great food, and everyone is friendly. The space is absolutely stunning as well. Highly recommend!

This place is a 10/10! The vibes are amazing, the people are very attentive and nice, and the food is superb, including the pastries. This place is a guaranteed spot!

It’s a cozy and elegant place to get a well made simple meal, and you’re meant to relax here and catch up with friends or read a book. They provide NYT newspapers to read while you relax and eat. It was a bit hard to flag down a waitress when it was time to pay but honestly that was part of the vibe of the place, plus they were prompt and kind for the rest of the meal.

for service and atmosphere, this place is great. Lovely engaging staff, fun clientele. But the food is very average, in fact it is less than average at its price point. They keep getting a 'great new chef' who is good for a couple months and then everything goes downhill. I used to recommend the food (after new chef last year) but last night I was bummed with the food. Stay there, lunch there, drink there, but eat somewhere else.
