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.

The food there was delicious everybody working was super nice. The service was great and the place itself was beautiful.
I found the perfect little spot to enjoy my break with a yummy coffee and a flaky croissant! I adore the vibe and the decorations here—so charming and inviting!

Everything Maker does not miss. Between the decor, service and food/drinks, you can not go wrong. Hotel, Lounge, Restaurant, all of it... 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great service and very very nice atmosphere but the portions really are too small for what you pay for. Could definitely have a small side salad with the potato bun egg sandwich for example, or one more scrambled egg with the breakfast option. Good thing we had butter with the pancakes to finish the otherwise nicely toasted bread. Otherwise also perhaps some cream cheese or spread with the salmon sandwich? Would recommend the soup!
