Heartwood Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Hudson

Heartwood Roasters is a truly lovely place with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It's clearly a popular spot for people of all ages — during my visit, I noticed friends catching up over coffee, professionals holding meetings, and individuals relaxing with a good book. The space is thoughtfully designed with a variety of seating options: tables for dining, bar seating for quick stops, and cozy couches that make you want to linger.

I enjoyed a beautifully smooth Mexican pour-over and a fresh, flavorful caprese on sourdough — both were outstanding. The coffee was top quality, and the food felt carefully crafted, not just thrown together.

One (maybe silly) note for improvement: the trash bins in both the main area and the restroom were full. Granted, there was only an hour and a half before closing--I get putting off some of these sort of duties when you're getting so close to end of shift and are going to have to do it again anyway. However, it makes a big difference in my opinion. With what appeared to be a full staff on duty, I’d love to reap the benefits of perhaps more consistent trash checks for guest comfort. As someone who’s a bit of a germaphobe, I had to push the trash down to make room and made contact with the bin, which meant a second trip to wash my hands — not ideal. This is a small detail but one that makes a big difference.

That said, I really enjoyed my visit and would absolutely return. The community vibe is strong, the crowd is diverse, and the overall experience is warm and inviting. Great coffee, great food, great people — just a little housekeeping tweak and...

Update: 2025 The espresso has really gone downhill at this place. I purchased an espresso macchiato a couple of times more recently and it’s so terrible. I haven’t even been able to drink it. Crazy, bitter and not smooth at all sometimes I make business clients here and have to order something. In the future, I think it’ll be tea. That’s how bad the espresso is and I’m a big espresso drinker. I’m not sure if it’s the espresso operator or the espresso machine not being maintenance properly either way it doesn’t make for a very good espresso drink.

Update review: 2022 Still the BEST coffee around.

Max makes the best Cortado around. It’s very hard to find a good Cortado up here in the Northeast area. Down to Miami Florida no problem. With one exception here at Hearthwood coffee roasters in Hudson. Max has perfected the Cortito. It makes me want to come here every single day. The price is right too. $2.50 just like many places in Florida. They make a fantastic Americano too. This coffee shop has a beautiful interior with a mezzanine and outside seating. This location also has a semi private room with some children’s toys and books off to the side. A great place for a meeting or to entertain a child while you’re enjoying coffee with your adult friend. They recently added a very comfortable couch in their seating area too. The people are friendly and welcoming. Just a great way to...

Cute little cafe; has both indoor and outdoor seating. The employees are generally nice, though somewhat aloof, but it's doubtful there will ever be a messy customer-employee interaction here; it's not the vibe of town. The drinks are pretty gifs and flavorful, though small and rather overpriced. I've been there several times, and you can expect a 10-12oz beverage to cost $5.50-7. They don't do large sizes. Their non dairy milk subs will unfortunately cost you an extra 1.50(🤯) which for someone who's lactose intolerant like myself is pretty disappointing. I love supporting local coffee shops, but this one drains my pockets a little too much to make it a regular destination. They have some nice bakery items including 1-2 gluten free treats, which is great. If you want to stretch your legs, work off some of that maple latte, or extend a day date, there are also little woodsy trails across the street to meander, as well as a new (belive it was finished in 2023) community park trail around a retention pond lake. If you're willing to spend some money, it's a good way to spend a...
