This is a convenient option in downtown Great Barrington for a quick coffee or to sit for a while. It is fairly big inside with plenty of places to sit. The baked goods were fresh and better than I expected. There were also several options, from very nice cinnamon rolls to muffins to scones and a few types of croissants or other pastries. They also have some hot food, such as breakfast potatoes and sandwiches. Our group stopped by a few different times on a recent trip and always had a good experience.

"Your world keeps turning round and round But everything is upside down Your own worst enemy has come to town" (Bruce Springsteen) Today (July 1) around 2:15 PM We wanted to have lunch at Fuel Bistro. After we walked in and read the menu board, we walked over to the service counter where we were second in line, and waited our turn to order lunch from a young man at the service counter. When it was our turn, we stepped up to the counter and started to order, when an older guy (probably management) came over and whispered something in the young guy's ear. The young guy then said to us "sorry, the kitchen is closed". Now, let's take a deeper look at this incredulous and horrible customer service. First of all, we had waited on line to order, made our way to the front of the line, and were in the process of ordering when we were told the kitchen was closed. There was no one behind us. Doesn't it make sense from a customer service standpoint, that we should have been permitted to finish ordering? Why not shut down the kitchen after we ordered? Why not show us a modicum of courtesy? And how about the weasly way the manager didn't even have the common courtesy to inform us directly, and instead forced his young employee to deliver the news? Weasly indeed. Fuel Bistro -congrats on your Epic Fail

Came into fuel one morning with my dad and we had a lovely breakfast! He really enjoyed his breakfast sandwich and I liked the muffin I got a lot. They had a large menu with breakfast items and a huge selection of baked goods including scones, croissants, coffee cake, muffins, banana bread, and more. We both got tea which was delicious. Very high quality and flavorful. Nice indoor seating. Lots of tables and comfy chairs. Friendly employees. Would recommend.

So much bacon in this scone! Ate the top half too quickly to take a picture.

Stopped by on Memorial Day to grab a bite before hitting the road - got a hot chorizo breakfast burrito, a bacon scone and a nut pastry. The burrito was GREAT! I really appreciate how you can grab & go with hot foods and pastries but there's also food to order. The bacon scone was so full of bacon and they offered to cut and toast it - it made a huge difference! We took our food to go but it was a very relaxing coffee shop environment.

Robbie's market is a great addition to the GB Main St. strip of amazing stores and restaurants. As…read moresoon as you walk in you can feel the positive energy. It's the oldest market in GB. The walls and decor make you feel both the history and life today. Everyone is so nice and you can tell they all work hard. It was very busy when I went, but also very organized. The market offers breakfast sandwiches, coffee, and muffins in the am. On the weekends they offer donuts too. For lunch they have pizza, grinders, and salads. They also sell local products like granola, coffee, and so much more! There is live music on Saturdays along with local artists selling prints. It's an all around beautiful place with a great vibe! Parking is hard in GB, which can be a downfall.

This is not a sponsored ad but it will sound like Roberto's is paying me under the table to sing their praises because this place is PHENOMENAL. Ambiance? Awesome. The space has a cool rustic feel and is great for some nice conversation. Now, the food: literally the best sandwich I have ever consumed. I tried the tomato & mozzarella one and literally haven't tried anything else on their lunch or dinner menu because it is the perfect sandwich. Their focaccia? As bread? Yes. I have also been blessed enough to have their breakfast sandwich and honestly words cannot even capture that experience so just order one yourself. The bevs? I am a beverage lover and have been severely disappointed and let down by neighboring local establishments when it comes to their matcha and iced coffee selection. But Robbie's? They've done it. An incredible matcha. A spicy iced chai. Incredible iced coffees. You couldn't ask for more. The service is also absolutely amazing. I came for breakfast right at 9AM on the first day they had earlier opening and it took them fifteen minutes to make my breakfast sandwich -- which isn't even a long wait when compared to other GB sandwich shops *cough cough Rubi's*. And they're were so kind and appreciative that I waited they gave me a little breakfast oat bar on the house (which was also incredible and warm and tasted like the concept of breakfast, if that makes sense). Also -- they serve Pastries by Hanna AKA the greatest donuts known to man. Like maybe go just for those on the weekends. Overall, they're amazing and will grow tired of seeing me.

"You never see it coming, You never have a clue,…read moreBut there's trouble on the horizon, Bubbling like a roux" (Jimmy Buffet) Walking around and browsing the shops in Great Barrington on a beautiful Spring Day was a real enjoyable experience. We wanted to try a new place for lunch and ended up at Marjoram And Roux for a very nice lunch, It has a front showcasw with baked goods and prepared salads and a big roll of butcher paper on the wall where the day's specials are listed. We ordered at the front counter, grabbed a table in the modestly sized dining room and our two sandwiched came out very fast. My wife ordered a Prosciutto Baguette with arugula, red pepper tapenade, and Buffalo Mozzarella with an aged balsamic dressing for $16. I ordered a Pita Sadwich with White Bean Hummus, Beets, Olives, Pickled Onions, and Arugula for $12. Both sandwiches were served with a small salad of local greens. I loved my sandwich. The pillowy softness of the pita, the smooth velvety texture of the hummus, the sweetness of the beets, and the saltiness of the olives all combined for one fantastic sandwich. Portion size was generous, and since we knew we'd be stopping down the street for ice cream, we each took home half of our lunch. Pricing was reasonable at just around $30 after tax and before tip. There's a lot of lunch choices in Great Barrington and we were very happy with ours.

Very good coffee and hot drinks, teas, iced drinks. We split a spinach croissant into 4 and inhaled it in 2 seconds, it was good. The small menu of specials, written on white butcher, paperhanging on the subway tiled wall, looked fabulous. But the prize goes to the big, round Ginger Molasses cookie, studded with ginger and perfectly sweetened. A few cozy tables, nice natural lighting, relaxing background music and a friendly staff make for the perfect stop along your way.
