Bud’s on the Hudson

"Highly recommend ordering their BLT ( they have a BELT . I asked eggs on the side) . From the lightly toasted fresh bread, fresh tomato, generous crunchy lettuce , delicious bacon , and mayo. Each and every bite was bliss!"

"Food is top notch, slow service as we were half way through our coffee before we got our breakfast burritos. The expense is very high. 40$ for 2 coffees and breakfast burritos? Great one time place to check out, way to expensive to frequent."

"Awesome place for a quick bite great coffee! Large menu and you can enjoy the views of the Troy bridge and the Dinosaur BBQ"

"Just like the original....absolutely awesome! Buds is definitely Top 3 in the Capital Region. If you haven't tried them you need to! Great coffee, sandwiches and service. More people need to know about Buds, it's a must stop!"

"Update: I went back and had a Nitro Cold Brew and Sean's Vegan Special breakfast sandwich and it's ridiculous how good the food and drinks are here! Plus, to no surprise, the service was again a highlight of the visit - everyone seems genuinely nice and you can't go wrong when you get service with a smile! I'm ready for my next visit back! Older: I've been to Bud's on Jay in Schenectady a number of times when I go to the Green Market, as soon as I heard Bud's on the Hudson opened nearby I went running as soon as I clocked out of work. The cold brew here is one of my top cold brews around, so they already have me as a repeat customer for that alone - now bring their food and atmosphere into consideration and I'm sold! The food is incredible, and a decent amount of vegetarian/vegan options, on this trip I had The Vegan Holland and side of Bud's Spuds Home Fries the quality is just as on point as on Jay! I also tried the Arnold Palmer this time around and it was pretty good, definitely more on the sweet side for me but it was refreshing and will be ordered again! This place is larger than Jay Street and they serve alcohol, and they have a bunch of tabletop games to pass the time while you enjoy yourself. As for the staff, they were incredibly friendly and personable, they definitely created an environment that makes me excited to make this a frequent stop for me - which is my experience at the other location and further cements the culture that they create. I see myself making lots of detours, and excuses for those detours, just because I know I will not be disappointed here! I made myself hungry writing this so I'll probably end up there again today! Great location, easy to get to, ample parking, and nice views of the water around it! P.S. the customers had it right, Team Luigi all the way!"
