The bread will go home with us. The pizza is for dinner. Each pizza would probably serve one adult man and are absolutely delicious. Cooking instructions are on the wrap - put them right on the rack. Crispy crust has plenty of air pockets to keep it light with a good chew. The BBQ onion is sweet. The roasted garlic had a bunch of garlic scattered all over. Lots of cheese on both. The last pizza, roasted red pepper, will be for another day. They had about five pre-made frozen pizza options when we visited. If you prefer, call ahead and they will build one fresh to your liking for you to pick up and bake at home. The interior shopping area is small. By the register is a pastry display case with the most enormous stuffed croissants, scones, cookies and other sweet treats. Behind that is a display of fresh breads. On a rack by the door are bagged bread goods. Freezer and refrigerator cases are along the wall. If I lived around here I would without a doubt be a regular customer and try all their offerings. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Cozy seating area by the front door to enjoy your purchases on site. Big parking lot.

Peach and Ginger also a Double Chocolate muffin. Delicious. The down side was the very unprofessional attitude of the server behind the counter. We wanted fresh coffee and she actually lied to us about that, instead the coffee urn was mostly empty and not fresh. As for the Housatonic location we ordered some fabulous Almond Croissants and Baguette and San Francisco Bread loaf. Whoa delicious. The woman serving us was outstanding and her very professional attitude was a relief compared to their Pittsfield experience we had. Thank you!

OK system but at least one of the staff was noticed walking food all over the place and didn't seem to understand the concept. I noticed this because this place is also very much like Paris - slow - it took over half an hour to get our food after we ordered it! Way too long. They also require customers to bus their own tables yet are shown a 'tip' screen when paying. Tip for what, exactly?

I'm not sure what is missing, but it feels very suburban or country which it is and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that, but it doesn't taste like authentic crêpes. I really do like the fact that it's a cute spot decent coffee and decent breakfast in small town USA with friendly service and you feel like you're supporting a local business. We will keep coming back, but I do wish some of the crêpes for me being more authentic versions of what they are today.

We came back to one of my favorite bakery cafés while browsing the shops in Stockbridge. I…read morediscovered this gem on our last visit to the Berkshires and couldn't resist stopping by again! This time, I picked up two chocolate croissants, a butter croissant, a blueberry scone, and an oatmeal cranberry cookie. I haven't tried them yet, but I'm sure they'll be just as delicious as everything I had here last time! There were many more customers sitting outside this time, and there was a short line inside, but it moved quickly with more staff working behind the counter. Definitely coming back again!

So good we had to come back twice…read more First day we ordered coffee and bacon,egg & cheese sandwiches on croissant and on gluten-free brioche bun. The second time we ordered prosciutto, mustard and lettuce on baguette and gf brioche buns. The gf blueberry lemon scone and the gf choc pistachio cupcake. Almost any sandwich you want, they offer them on gluten free brioche buns also. And half their baked goods selections are gluten free! I don't have a gluten allergy but if you do this is a great place to get gf food and pastries! Inside is small, mostly a to-go cafe although there are a few table and chairs outside the cafe to sit on. The staff is really nice.

We were definitely game for some breakfast so we took their advice and headed to this place. Now I'm completely ruined. I will forever compare any croissant with sausage, egg, and cheese to this place because it is extraordinary! They also have some really nice antiques in the shop for sale. Their coffee was extraordinary as well if you get a chance to go to this place, do it.

I cannot believe I have never been here before. One of my friends works here and has been telling…read moreme to come here for so long. They are only open on the weekends and I was working at a job near them on a Friday so I knew I had to stop in before work. It's a very cute and unique, bakery and store together. As you walk in to the left you can see a bunch of jewelry and items to buy and to the right is the bakery and where you can sit to eat. They also have seating outside. They offer a wide variety of pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and drinks. Their homemade aioli sauce is out of this world. I look forward to going back!

I love their breakfast which was what we had on our most recent trip. My kids had the chocolate chip pancakes and demolished them quickly. They both said they were the best pancakes ever. I had the croissant French toast which was decadent but not too filling, a lovely breakfast. My husband had their special, pancakes with fresh peaches and mascarpone and he definitely had the best dish, tons of fresh peaches. The first latte I had was so good that I also got another to go. We also grabbed some baked goods for the road which was an awesome decision. Staff was super friendly and the restaurant is so lovely. Will be back for sure.

You can also sit outside Order,pay, get your number and sit down. We had the special which was a sweet potato chorizo hash with poached eggs and hollandaise - honestly the chorizo lacked flavor and was not spicy enough to counteract the sweetness of the potatoes. We also had the huevos rancheros which were sublime. Nicely spiced black bean/chili sat atop a corn tortilla, eggs, avocado sour cream ..etc. Also had the famous morning glory muffin - two cappuccinos. It's pricey but worth it! We will be back

They have pre-packaged gift boxes, other gift items that are non-chocolate, and several display cases full individual of chocolates sold by weight or by piece. A few tables are inside where you can stay to enjoy your beverages and treats. Once the line had died down, there was only one staff member working the counter, we made our purchase and headed back to the car. The chocolate is indeed very tasty. Smooth chocolate. Good flavor balance. One small piece is very satisfying. If you love a good chocolate, you will agree the price matches the quality. Worth a stop.

They've lost their magic…read more We've been stopping at Choc Spring for 15 years. Once upon a time it was a lovely, decadent little shop and we looked forward to indulging in chocolates for our Tanglewood visit. Not anymore. For the last 4 years, the service has been poor and they are out of chocolates on a regular basis. After 2020, they asked for patience which we gladly gave but they adopted dismissive staff and a lack of customer care as standard operating procedure. If you go, be prepared for disappointment.

I found this spot via another app that offers discounts on end of day items. I had slices of cake which were good. I purchased a few more items full priced. The cannolis were to die for; they fill it right before they hand it to you. The service was good and plenty of parking in a plaza. I would be there often if I lived closer!

"You need bread, try the bakery You need lovin', look here,…read morebaby I got just what you need" (The Doors) Well, whatever your needs might be, you'll probably take care of it at Giuseppina's Italian Bakery, because they really do have it all. Their website, counters, shelves, and showcases offer you temptations everywhere you look. Want a pastry? What kind of a question is that....sure you do, so how on Earth are you going to choose between these? Cannoli, Tiramisu, 3 kinds of mousse, eclairs, frosted or plain brownies (are you bold enough to get a brownie with peanut butter buttercream frosting?), cream horns, rum rolls, an amazing peach concoction of sweet dough soaked with peach juice and rum and filled with vanilla pudding (!), Sfogliatelle, Zeppol, cream puffs, NY style cheesecake, fruit slices (peaches and strawberries with whipped cream layers and frosting), pasticiotti, cappuccino slices, Amaretto Squares, Limoncello Cake Slices and Chocolate Brownie Cake Slices. And there's more - miniature pastries, Cheese danish, apple, raspberry and blueberry turnovers, Cranberry Orange scones, blueberry scones, chive scones, and roasted red pepper scones, lemon and cherry squares. Get the picture? And I haven't mentioned their Italian cookies, 25 cake varieties, cupcakes, cake pops, pizza slices, sandwiches and stuffed breads. The truth is, this place is fantastic and is clearly in the top ten percent of Italian bakeries we've visited. We picked up an assortment of cake slices, a croissant, a scone, and a donut yesterday. They all looked amazing! We started off splitting that donut, and it was great -very light, not too sweet and just plain delicious. Shout out to the young lady who waited on us, she was pleasant and friendly, and our interaction was a far contrast to some of the less than favorable interactions reported by other Yelpers. PRO TIP 1) Don't worry about parking- they're in a shopping center with plenty of parking. 2) How good does their fig, prosciutto and Asiago cheese stuffed bread sound?
