Carbs & coffee - 2 legally addictive substances are available here at Mel in a variety of forms. There's been a lot of hype surrounding this 2024 James Beard award semi-finalist (bakery category). I finally made it here and doubted that it could live up to the hype. Oh ye of little faith. One bite of their ham and cheese croissant was all it took to make me a member of the cult. It's hard to explain but I think our palates understand when someone crafts our food. Their cultivated knowledge and skill is in the food. The initial crunch of puff pasty giving way to an airy middle layer then the substantive salt of the ham intermingled with bits of caramelized cheese. Now imagine it still slightly warm from the oven. Yeah, you get me. I'm not proud of this but I housed that croissant in less than a minute in the relative privacy of my car. The same can be said of the sourdough baguette. Simple yet so satisfying; the differing textures of crunch and chew and the tang of the dough are worth savoring. The place, as one could imagine, was busy. Word gets around. Their staff, however, has its system in place to bring order to what otherwise could be a chaotic space. It's clean in there, some merch available (aprons?, bagged coffee) in front, a display of baked goods near the rear of the store, a menu of coffee/espresso drinks above the display. Efficient with an industrial chic feel. I don't live near Hudson but I would make the drive there for a special treat. Thanks for moving up to Hudson to share your gifts with us, Mel. Mel, by the way, is derived from mjöl, the Danish word for flour.

Holy. Cow. This place is incredible. I grew up in Hudson and this is boujee but affordable. Our favorite is the twice baked pistachio pastry, but everything here is scrumptious. I’m forever looking forward to the weekend even more so now. Thank you for coming here! <3

Amazing pastries, top-tier bread, fantastic coffee, friendly staff, and completely reasonable prices for the quality. This place is doing everything right

Beautiful breads, baked goods and vibes. The rye chocolate chip cookie is perfection.

Edit: after reading my concerns, Mel the Bakery reached out promptly and helped make my bad experience right. I appreciate how quickly that happened and their willingness to do so. (2/12/24) Very disappointing. Visited the new location in Hudson and ordered a number of pastries and a loaf of the country bread. The pastries and bread were burnt on the outside - I initially thought they might just be bien cuit - and had raw dough on the inside. They are not cheap (and small) and for the bakery to be putting out a product that is likely due to an overly hot oven is unacceptable, especially for a James Beard award semi-finalist. Except for the cookie we bought, which was superlative, I would say avoid this place until they decide to turn out fully cooked products.
