This place is straight out of a movie. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, ice cream, homemade strawberry rhubarb pie (omg so good) not to mention a VERY cool collection of antiques. read more

Stopped in for a quick break and grabbed an amazing scone fresh out of the oven! A member of our party had a slice of pie and he reported it was amazing. The antique shop is incredible. All kinds of tools and stuffed animals and trinkets in the back. Definitely stop here if you like odds and oddity. read more

Such an interesting on the wayto Erving, North Adams, etc! Tons of random little antiques, magazines, metal work, bottles, etc. I even found a "feed the weevils" pin ( whatever that is.... Great store to look around while you wait for your sandwhich, bagel, muffin or soup! Many vegan options and homemade muffins! They also have icecream and coffee ( with real fresh honey for sweetning!) read more

Driving out for the day and came upon this wonderful and fun place!!!! Friendliest place ever!!!!!!!!! Yummy food, frappe, and homemade pie!!!! and all surrounded by cool stuff to look at or buy!!! Thanks! read more

Vegetarian roadside stop with antiques, homemade soups, homemade pies, nice people serving you. As a vegetarian, it is not so often that you can order almost everything on the menu, especially in a little stop on the side of Rt. 2. Apparently the owners are vegetarian - hence the super veg friendly menu. They added some cold cuts to their listings a few years ago, so meat-eaters are happy too, but even if you aren't vegetarian, there's plenty for everyone here, as the food is quite good and the surroundings quite fun! read more

So we are returning from another outdoorsy fun getaway in western Mass., not even close to home. We are hungry. We have no cash. We are on route 2. We see the Freight House, I demand the boyfriend turns in. He's skeptical- this place looks like an antique store, he says, they probably don't take cards, he says. He's wrong! Partially- it is an antique store, but it is also a breakfast and lunch counter AND they take cards. A pleasant waitress/antique store employee greeted us and made our lunches. I got the Greek wrap, loaded with fresh veggies, dressing, and feta. Boyfriend got a veg. burger- this place is very veg. friendly, sweet! I also appreciated that the waitress, when making our lunch, asked if we'd like sprouts. Why yes, we would! This is a perfect stop if you are on the way home to eastern Mass., for a quick but satisfying bite to eat. To top off the wonderful experience, get a brownie for the long trip down route 2, and savor it the whole way. Yum! I look forward to returning. read more

I stopped in here because I starving I didn't want to eat fast food. I was driving back from a week of camping and was craving something warm and nor out of a can or box. Basically this place is a antiques store with a small cafe counter in it. It looks an old soda shop counter with with old fashioned stools bolted to the floor. In terms of lunch, your best option would be a sandwich. I order a grilled cheese with pesto on wheat. The lady working there seemed to list any other bread beside wheat as the one I wanted, maybe I was mumbling or something. After a few rounds, she heard me correctly. They cooked the sandwich and an electric grill, which is fine by me just a little unusual. After about 10 minutes my sandwich was ready. It was very good, I was happy I stopped in. read more

I'm only commenting on the cafe/diner - didn't get a chance to look at the antiques - but this place is awesome! I stopped in here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the vegan/vegetarian options. The service was friendly and quick, and the soup special (curried coconut-lentil) was ridiculous! I want that recipe! It came with cornbread, soft, moist, and delicious. A big bowl of soup, cornbread, and a big iced tea (to go) was $10 - and it kept me full until dinner time. I will definitely stop here on my next drive by! They also have Bart's ice cream and lots of baked goods. read more

Stopped for coffee on our way to Vermont. Fresh brewed coffee , amazing tomato and grilled cheese and fantastic friendly service. Was a nice way to start a weekend away by not stopping at a chain coffee shop. read more

I usually stop by for ice cream on my way to the Yankee Candle store in Deerfield MA. The pumpkin ice cream is my favorite, though it is a fall-time seasonal flavor. read more

I love this place. I live in the Berkshires and Erving is the half way stop driving to Boston. Not only do I enjoy browsing the antiques, they have a great lunch counter. Be sure to save room for the baked goods. read more

Stopped here on our way back from New Hampshire. Hugh amount of antiques to look at. Also had lunch and the sandwiches were delicious along with the homemade pies. The woman behind the counter was warm and friendly. Will definitely be stopping there again. read more

Do Not Enter! Drive on by, & go to just about anywhere else. Stopped by yesterday for coffee on my way to North Adams. I have driven by dozens of times, and have been curious about the place.The outside looks interesting, but that's the only charm. The inside atmosphere is downright hostile! There are signs everywhere ordering/shaming you to spend money or don't even think of using their one smelly restroom. The owners also have an issue with people hoping to deposit road trip trash there. This is a roadside 'attraction' on the Mohawk Trail. Of course you are going to have tourists and day trippers looking for a quick bite and perhaps buy some useless piece of souvenir junk...that's the joy of this road! What is the big deal about providing a suitable trash receptacle? The bathroom has an overused gunky shampoo bottle filled with cheap liquid soap, and one tiny bin for "napkins and diapers only". I can't imagine even thinking of changing a baby here. Where would they do it? There is no table or suitable surface. But as the sign inside the bathroom points out, it is a "privilege" to use this facility. I can imagine the disgust and frustration the owners have encountered running a tourist trap like this, but don't take it out on normal, respectful customers. This is your livelihood, show some class. To add to the shaming, they have a box outside the bathroom for donations (I'm not kidding) for the upkeep of the bathroom. I bought water and a token item, which, as it turns out, was made in China, not local or "antique". The lady in the store was depressed, bored and rude demanding "is that it!" when I went to pay. Needless to say, I didn't trust the coffee here. Ugh, never again. read more

Cranberry Chicken wrap is very tasty and extremely filling. The baked goods are plentiful and all homemade. The only difficulty is deciding which treat to indulge in (fresh apple pie, brownies, hermits, etc). Yum!!!! read more

cant beat it with a stick ! the little town with the best folks ! the scones are to die for ! i stop about every time i visit Erving .

I was here a year ago. This little place has a little bit of everything. They have more house hold items like kitchen stuff to tools. Less furniture and more vintage army and country kitch. But if you don't mind digging around you'll find some odd things like glass taxidermy eyes and a few 1900's and or earlier pieces. They had a funny collection of old soda drink cans from the 50's - so if your a Mad Men fan and want a patio soda can, this is your place! :P Oh! They also have a little diner in there and they have ice cream and affordable snacks and meals. read more

Best mixed berry muffins that exist in this world.

I stop here on my way to Vermont to get their scones. They have the absolute BEST scones I have ever had. Love them. They only make them on weekends so one day when I knew I was passing thru on a week day, I called them to see if they could make some to order and they were so accomdating. No problem!! Love shopping and looking around too, really unique things. Love it here!! read more
