Café 641 — Restaurant in Hudson

You walk into the cafe passing through the double doors to a cozy little world. Part bohemian style and part bookstore feel to this little narrow cafe. The counter is at the back with an array of baked treats behind the glass on the other side. Hand drawn menus and a daily specials board are above the counter and to the side of the counter on the wall to the right near the chips.

There are so many choices on the menu and I’ve tried many of them and brought friends along to eat there. Breakfast crepes have been good and burgers are great too! I’m not much of a sandwich person but sandwiches have been good too. It’s priced well and it’s a nice cute cafe to go have lunch with your friends, by yourself or with your partner.

I have usually gone during the day for lunch so can’t attest for how it is at night. It’s nice and quiet during the day (busy at lunch). The staff has always been very nice and helpful. Especially, as I’m that person who usually orders that weird sandwich and then only wants 2-3 of the things on it. None of my orders have been wrong! Picky person approved!

There’s burger and beer specials. Soup and sandwich specials. The place is sort of like Panera meets bohemian bookstore. Oh yeah the books. There’s a wall of books by the bathroom you can read through. For those of us that miss the old Barnes and Nobles and Borders it’s nice to sit back with a nice cup of tea or coffee and read. Or bring your laptop to work there and sit on a comfy chair. They...

Finally, a cafe where you can hang out and hear yourself think! Cafe 641 is new to Hudson, MA. Been there approx. 2 months. I visited for the first time over the 2013 July 4th weekend. It was extremely hot in Massachusetts that weekend.

Different sections had different levels of A/C. You had your choice of blasting cold, medium A/C, and warm areas.

Front entrance has a screen door; atmospheric and warmer in that area. Bookcase against the wall with books for reading while you're relaxing.

Food - Mostly sandwiches & crepes. Some pastries and soups. Affordable. I paid $6.00 for a breakfast crepe with cheese, onions, meat, eggs. Crepe was generously filled. Sandwiches were ~ $6.95. Coffee - Selections closer to Starbucks than Dunkin Donuts. I had a grande Cappuccino in a mug for $3.58. Tasty. Seating: You get a good choice of bellying up to the bar (wall), or comfy over-sized living room style chairs, or straight-backed chairs and tables, or more bar stools in the street windows. Plenty of electrical hookups spread around the cafe.

Best of all for me, the music was background music. Atmospheric without being overwhelming. (I tend to spend a couple to several hours while working on projects on my laptop.) This background music was just right for working. Servers: Friendly, polite, in the background for the most part.

I will return...

I love this place! I come here all the time on my commute to work, and they know me and what I like, so I get my orders quickly with great quality. Lots of people on here agree, too! Some of the lower star reviews confused me a bit. I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but some people just seemed entitled. I’ve never had any of those issues with food, service, etc. For the most part, they always make it exactly how I like it, and the very very few times it wasn’t how I wanted it, they fixed it for me free of charge with no problems. They would do that for anyone who is a mature enough adult to talk to the staff about it instead of posting negative reviews because the cafe (or the world) hasn’t conformed to their unreasonable standards. All Karens aside, this is a great place, their food and coffee is awesome, and their staff takes very good care of me and all their customers. Don’t...
