When they first opened I was worried that being Located rather far from town I was worried that the A-Frame Bakery wouldn't get the business to survive. However one taste and you'll understand why so many are willing to make the trip. read more

I ordered a pie from this lovely place for my partner's birthday. It is incredible! (Eating it as I write this review ) Not too overly syrupy sweet and full of berries! Delicious delicate crust and beautiful to look at. I also got a very tasty cupcake. Very high quality work! Thank you so much! read more

As far as I'm concerned, this unassuming bakery in an A-frame deserves SIX stars! Both my friend and I (we each had banana nut muffins, which were moist and warm, and I had the sour cream coffee cake and he also had a blueberry scone) LOVED the baked goods! The owner let's the ingredients (and not extra sugar, etc.) speak for themselves. The owner is personable and her son showed her up on the calculator! read more

I always make it a point to visit this unassuming yet amazing little bakery when I come to Williams College. All of their baked goods are made from scratch daily with seasonal fruits. Some of their must have items are the fruit purse which has different types of fruit inside depending on what's in season and the apple raisin muffins which have huge chucks of apple with great flavor that isn't too sweet. They also have changing daily specials which offer a wide range of baked goods that will satisfy any sweet craving. read more

I was going on a ride from Albany to Boston, and stubbled across this cute little bakery, and in a A-Frame. I had to stop... After talking for a short time I got a apple cake, and had a slice right there. It was amazing. Big apples, and tons of sugar and cinnamon. Worth the stop if you are in that area. They need better signage though. :) read more

Love the buttercream frosted cakes from this tiny, family-run bakery. The frosting is amazing -- not too sweet like the cheap grocery store cakes, and I know that they use good quality ingredients. Apple cakes and cupcakes are other winners. I find the bar cookies to be a little on the sweet side, so I can only eat a bite or two (not necessarily a bad thing!). Glad to have this bakery in the area. Love it when the baker's kids are working -- her teens are always very conscientious and polite! As another reviewer mentioned, timing can be a challenge. If you want a cake ready in the afternoon, ask for it in the morning. Seems things just move slower in the Berkshires. read more

I stopped in last week with my business partner for a snack break between jobs. We were greeted by the friendly proprietor and a case full of baked goodies including pastries, cookies, and cupcakes. I had a fruit purse and it was absolutely delicious! the pastry was flaky and it was filled with fresh peaches and blueberries, two of my favorites! My business partner ordered the same thing and he really enjoyed his too. I'm sure we will be stopping there again! read more

This place is incredible...everything we've had from A-Frame has been delicious. The smell when you walk in is enough to keep me coming back. I would give it 5 stars but it's sort of cramped and I wish there was a place to sit down and enjoy the pastries and maybe a cup of coffee. read more

What a cool little bakery. She clearly likes purple, as even the concrete slabs lining the parking lot are painted purple. The presumed owner is very friendly and seems to enjoy her job and business. She offers a wide selection of baked goods, including whole loaves of sweet breads and I believe cakes and pies. There are of course an assortment of muffins and cookies. She does offer organic fair-trade coffee, but I'm not sure from where. The prices are fair and portions generous. The muffins were fresh and delicious, just as you would expect from the aroma of the bakery. read more

I live out of state and visit the area several times each year. I wasn't able to be in Williamstown for my friend's birthday and I wanted to send a tasty treat. I ignored the two 1 star reviews (out of 28 reviews), ordered a birthday pastry gift for my friend and asked Sharon if it could be delivered to my friend's home in Williamstown. Sharon was very accommodating and my friends raved about the tart. Next time I pop up for a visit I plan to scoop up a few sweets to bring home. Thank you Sharon for the special attention. read more

Sharon runs a lovely family bakery in this A frame on Rt 7. Lots of varieties of fruit coffee cakes. Also cookies, brownies, cupcakes, scones and biscotti. Wonderful real butter cream frosting! My favorite are the peach blueberry fruit purses. It's a small bakery so she doesn't have everything at all times, but if you call the day before she can make whatever you want or just put a scone aside for you. Two caveats: no seating inside and they don't take credit cards. read more

What competes with fresh-baked goodies? We ordered a lemon cake filled with lemon curd for my son's birthday, with French butter cream frosting. It was so delicious! I'm not sure if it's worth making myself because Sharon got the crumb just right - moist and neither dense nor light - perfect! I'd just like to caution anyone that wants a sheet cake (1/4, 1/2, or full sheet): Sharon makes only round layer cakes due to oven space constraints....but her smallest size was ideal for our celebration. Fruit purses are scrumptious too - light but satisfying. And just thinking about Sharon's big chocolate chip cookies makes my mouth water. Yum. We've compared prices with other bakeries in Berkshire county and feel Sharon's are reasonable, but we've never tasted a lemon curd filled cake as good as hers! read more

Best bakery in the area, try the fold over fruit pastry- not overly sweet but very flavorful. Also the coffee is good. And the people are friendly. read more

Sharon puts heart, soul, and the finest ingredients in all of her goodies Hard to pass the A-frame and not stop in! Especially love the hamentashen any time if the year. Love the fact I can always get a freshly baked treat there read more

Went here with my girlfriend when we were visiting family in the Berkshires. The cookies and cupcakes were wonderful! The frosting was delicious buttercream, none of that gross fake stuff you get at other bakeries. Great prices, and every thing was freshly baked. We bought home a blueberry crumb cake to share with my family, which went over very well. :) The owner was super friendly and nice. Definitely stop by if you get a chance. read more

This is the cutest little bakery with good cookies. We were nicely helped by an adorable, well versed 9-10 year old who made this experience delightful. I wish some other customer service people could get a video of her to see how its done. I would buy anything this place is selling. Thank you! read more

Am I lucky! I work with Richard, the husband of incredible owner and baker - Sharon, and our whole office reaps the benefits! FRESH muffins..full of big pieces of apples..or crammed with fresh blueberries, bananas and nuts, crumb topping...not all at the same time of course! Her cakes, cookies, and tarts are incredible. For our office monthly birthday celebrations, she aways sends a cake..today we had a moist chocolate cake, with a wonderful raspberry filling, a light raspberry butter cream frosting with fresh raspberry garnish. Gone in a flash! Everything we have had is fresh out of the oven, only natural ingredients....and better then home made. I always bring something home to my husband, who I think is her biggest fan. Worth a ride to Williamstown one of these days. I rarely give 5 stars , but would give more if I could! read more

I just want to echo the plaudits by previous reviewers: we yesterday bought a peach pie and it was simply delicious. We had called earlier to make certain they would not be sold out and the lady sweetly said she would hold a pie for us. Simply fabulous. read more

Their large, warm delicious apple raisin muffins must be a specialty - nobody does an apple raisin muffin better!

Stunningly good baked items made fresh every day. The muffins are the best ever. The biscotti come in several flavors and are divine. Plus the owner's adorable and polite kids are your cashiers. Only wish they were open more days a week! An amazing treasure. read more

Stopped by yesterday on my first fresh air outing after a ski accident; bought two slices of the chocolate mouuse torte and the apple blueberry cake for breakfast. It was wonderful - so nice to find a bakery where the goods are made well with the best ingredients, not just looking good. I found it charming that her children are there after school and helping out. read more

It just doesn't get much better in this part of the world. From the everyday baked goods, muffins and cookies to custom-made yummies, it's 'home-made' in the best meaning of the term. read more

Amazing food! Everything is fresh and made to order and the owner, Sharon, is super friendly. I highly recommend the scones and the fruit purses. read more

I go up to the Berkshires for my annual vacation and we came across this wee bakery two years ago during a detour. I absolutely fell in love with this place for it being family run, the warmth and care of its employees, its simplicity, and absolutely delicious bake products which are also reasonably priced! I wish Sharon the very best working so hard and creating this treasure of a business. Thank you!!! read more

I had the pleasure of working with A-Frame Bakery for my wedding. Sharon was incredible and create 100 of the most beautiful and delicious red velvet cupcakes I have ever seen. Not only was she incredible to work with, but she truly made my wedding perfection. Her prices are ridiculously reasonable and her product is beyond amazing. For any bride in Western, MA go to A-Frame bakery!!! read more

The A-Frame provided cupcakes for our wedding; they were utterly delicious and not at all expensive, and everything else we've had from there (a torte, a fruit purse, a cake) has also been utterly wonderful. The chocolate cupcakes with fudge frosting are especially good. The baker even agreed to experiment with a new flavor of cake for us, and it turned out wonderfully! We tried several other places in the area, and this was both the closest and the best bakery to Williamstown. read more

A Frame made us the tastiest carrot cake we have had in a long time for a birthday party. Many compliments on it from our guests. Lucky to have this place in Williamstown. read more

Really good baked goods. Sharon, the owner, is really friendly and always up for a chat. The cookie and brownie trays are reasonable, and Sharon will work with you to make sure that you only have what you're looking for on the tray. I've done catering for various events from here many times and never been disappointed. read more
