Downtown Detroit’s long-standing brunch spot is moving into the suburbs.

The Hudson Cafe is plotting a second location in Northville “by popular demand,” according to a post on its Instagram page.

The post says the new restaurant will be located near Six Mile and Haggerty Roads, with a target opening date of early 2023.

“We cannot wait to feed the people of Northville, their guests, and the surrounding areas,” the post read.

The restaurant shared renderings of the new space, designed by metro Detroit-based interior design studio Olon.

No other details were announced, including a precise address. “We will keep you posted on our progress and appreciate all the love and support we have received so far!” the post added.

The original Hudson Cafe opened in 2011 in downtown Detroit, named after the former J.L. Hudson department store that once stood across the street.

The essential Detroit-area brunches you should have tried by now

Madam 298 S. Old Woodward Ave., Birmingham; 248-283-4200; daxtonhotel.com/food-drink It’s Ma-DAHM, and it’s one of the latest brunch spots to open up in metro Detroit. Located inside Birmingham’s Daxton Hotel, this new restaurant offers a luxe brunching experience.

MI.MOSA 23360 Farmington Rd., Farmington; 248-957-8119; mimosafarmington.com You can never go wrong with a mimosa flight and at Farmington’s MI.Mosa, you can mix and match any of their 12 mimosa offerings to create your own custom flight.

AlTayeb Restaurant 15010 W. Warren Ave. Suite 111, Dearborn; 313-633-1752; altayeb-restaurant.business.site If you've never dabbled in Lebanese breakfast, look no further than the AlTayeb mini chain which specializes in staples like creamy foul, mshawasheh, fatteh, all of which are served with fresh pita bread. Oh, and if you were wondering, the name means "delicious" in Lebanese, so there you have it.

The Breakfast Club 30600 John R. Rd., Madison Heights; 248-307-9090; facebook.com/breakfastmadison Don't you forget about this Madison Heights mainstay which is totally dedicated to breakfast, lunch, and, yes, brunch. Breakfast Club (the restaurant, not the coming of age '80s film) offers fresh garden salads, hot grilled sandwiches, quesadillas, breakfast sandwiches, crepes, hash, bennys, skillet omelets, and sweet mains like creme brulee French Toast and salted caramel pecan pancakes.

Dime Store 719 Griswold St. #180, Detroit; 313-962-9106; eatdimestore.com Since opening in downtown Detroit in 2014, Dime Store has remained one of the hottest brunch tickets in town thanks to its eclectic menu of brunchy goodness. Known for its selection of eggs Benedict, including a cold-smoked salmon, cheesesteak, and a general tso's chicken version, Dime Store also has a variety of hashes (the duck bop is made with housemade-confit duck leg and Korean BBQ sauce) as well as sweet stuff like peach cobbler French toast and malted Belgian waffles.

Bobcat Bonnies 1800 Michigan Ave., Detroit | 240 W. Nine Mile Rd., Ferndale; 248-677-0258 | 1800 Michigan Ave., Detroit; 313-962-1383 | 118 Sycamore St., Wyandotte; 734-530-1806 | 17330 Hall Rd., Clinton Twp.; 586-221-4313; | 200 W. Michigan Ave., Ypsilanti; 734-879-0663; bobcatbonnies.com We don't know who Bonnie is but, as evidenced by this casual fun fare local chain of eateries, she must know something about brunch because at Bobcat Bonnie's, brunch is king, er, queen. Among some favorite items, the Biscuit sandwich, little stack pancakes, Captain Crunch French Toast, tomato tartine, eggs Benedict, lots of tots (including Tatchos which is nachos made with tater tots) lots of bowls, burgers, sammys, and booze — lots of bloody booze.

Public House 241 W. Nine Mile Rd., Ferndale; 248-733-4905; publichouseferndale.com Public House offers cocktails, mocktails, and everything in between. What’s particularly cool? Public House has a vegan brunch menu that is just as full and plentiful as its regular menu, so our meatless friends aren’t limited to pancakes.
