1241 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-237-1000; hudson-cafe.com

There is precisely one thing wrong with Hudson Cafe, and that is that they don't have booze, which means no mimosas or bloody marys. Of course, as our readers have recognized, this place is still far and beyond the best breakfast joint around, serving up waffles, crepes, omelets, a stunning variety of eggs Benedict, graham cracker-crusted French toast, and plenty more. Just make sure you get there early — this is a breakfast joint after all.
