Hudson Square Coffee Company on the Lake — Restaurant in Ashland

We have a cabin in Cornucopia, Wisconsin but make the 50 minute drive to Ashland a couple times each visit just to get Hudson coffee. The drinks are delicious. The Just Toasty Cloud and the Salted Caramel Truffle frappe are our favorites. The cold foam is the best cold foam I’ve ever had. So we keep coming back. However, the service we receive often times spoils the visit. More often than not, the baristas are short, cold, and sometimes downright rude. The few special requests I’ve had received a “we don’t do that” with a snarky undertone.

I asked if they could print the receipt and write my phone number on it so they could add the points when the system was back up and they treated me like I was completely unreasonable for asking, but begrudgingly did end up doing that. However, the points were never added to my account. They also made the wrong drink, but just stared at me and made me uncomfortable when I said it was wrong, so I ended up just buying another drink so my fiancé could have the correct drink. It’s the experiences like this, as well as just the overall treatment I receive that makes it not a 5 star experience, despite it being my favorite...

Hudson Square Coffee Company is an absolute treasure! Seriously, it’s the best coffee I’ve had in ages! Oh my goodness, I tried the salted caramel cloud latte, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal—like a cozy hug in a cup! It was life-changing, and I’m not even exaggerating. AMAZING!!

Having visited countless coffee houses across the US and Canada, I can confidently say this is now one of my all-time favorites. The flavor was delightfully sugary, so if you're not a fan of sweetness, you might want to steer clear. But for those of us who appreciate a little sugar magic, this latte is a must-try.

If you’re looking to elevate your coffee game, Hudson Square Coffee Company is the place to be. I can’t wait to come back for another round of cloud latte bliss! If I lived in the area, I would be here daily!! Next time I'm in the area, I'm definitely stopping again!

Side note, the atmosphere was wonderful. Right on lake Superior, head sitting both indoors and outdoors. It looked like a great place to come and hang out with friends, family, or just yourself and a book. They also had to...
