All the Yelpers are right about this place! It was such an absolute treat to have stumbled upon this place before our hike at Mount Greylock. The atmosphere was inviting, the servers attentive and friendly but above all, the food was fabulous. We had the pleasure of trying out the Heuvos Rancheros and the Smoked Salmon omelette. Both dishes were delicious and definitely hit the spot. Even the roasted potatoes it came with were perfectly cooked and crispy. We walked out with all smiles and ready to conquer our mountain. A must go to for breakfast or lunch or in our case, a weekend brunch! read more

Went here during the lunch rush. The place was packed, and we got one of the last seats in the place (really lovely outdoor seating by the way, would recommend) and yet the entire order came in under 10 minutes! I recommend the pancakes. They are some of the best I've ever had. read more

Haven reminds me of a hipster cafe from Brooklyn. Fiance and I came here for lunch and were definitely not disappointed: + I had a delicious kale salad with chicken. So fresh, delicious goat cheese, and small bites of well seasoned chicken. I do wish the chicken was warm however. + Fiance had the soup of the day (a mix with butternut squash) with half a grilled cheese-- the soup was amazing and the sandwich was so full of flavor on excellent bread. + Cappuccino and chai latte were also nice and strong--portion size is nice and there isn't too much of a price differential between their standard and large sizes. Customer service is excellent as well- they need to do everyone a favor and stay open past 3. read more

Impressed with the quality of the ingredients and the 'just so' precision cooking. The Haven Scramble asparagus was perfectly cooked as was the butternut squash. Mixed with just the right amount of goat cheese. It was lovely! Would love to return for another order of the same. Potatoes were really good and nicely flavored. Had a Morning Glory muffin better than Bread Alone. Great juices too!! People taking orders and cleaning up were very personable and made us feel welcome. Power wheelchair accessible but 'fitting under the tables' wasn't ideal. Oh well, the food and service was worth it! Blueberry pancakes, burrito and Bon mi were also very good. Not cheap but you get what you pay for!! Hope to return when we visit Lenox again. read more

WOW was this an expensive breakfast. For a biscuit sandwich, fancy french toast, one extra biscuit and 2 sodas we paid $37. That was a LOT for breakfast. And, to get the negatives out of the way, I was saddened when I went to eat my extra biscuit on our ride home and saw they did not give me the one I ordered (bacon and gruyere), but rather a dill biscuit. The service was very friendly, but then we waited over 20 minutes on a not too busy morning for our food to be delivered. Luckily, we did not spend that time waiting in line that many others speak about on Yelp. The food was really good. The blueberry baked fancy french toast was phenomenal. So much so that I could feel my hips growing with every bite. My husbands biscuit sandwich was really good as well. Have never had dill biscuits, but it was a nice combo. read more

Delicious coffee and excellent food. I had the haven scramble and an oat bar to go with a vanilla cinnamon latte. Came back the next morning for another coffee. Would happily stop by anytime I'm in the area. read more

This place truly is Heaven. I enjoyed breakfast so much on my last day in town that i went back for lunch! Very quiet with beautiful jazz in the morning and very busy and lively in the afternoon! Service was beyond reproach on both visits as well as when I stopped in for tea a couple times during the week. Just delicious food, too and beautifully presented. Oh, and make sure to check out the bookshelf full of cookbooks in the hall heading to the restrooms!! Can't wait to be back in the area so I can stop in again! read more

Haven is our go to breakfast spot when visiting the Berkshire's. We first heard about it from some friends who live in town. Our favorite item on the menu is the Smoked Salmon Scramble. And you must try the latte's! My fav is the Lavender Pepper! They don't take reservations and it's a first come first serve order at the counter and get your number find a table place. During breakfast and brunch on the weekends there is usually a line but it goes surprising fast. The staff is extremely friendly which helps. read more

Consistent line on a Sunday all the way until the place closes. Fresh food and quick serve. A solid choice in the area for breakfast/brunch.

I had the Salmon Scramble and it was perfect! Also had the Cinnamon Vanilla Latte and another great find. A must to have breakfast!

Great menu, yummy dishes and out of the world baked goods. Great coffee menu. Gets crowded so be prepared to wait but it's worth the wait.

Super delicious! The food was amazing and the service was great. Patient staff and good environment. Love how the place looks and has a diverse menu. Definitely coming back with friends! read more

Excellent brunch! We stopped by for brunch on a Saturday -- get there early: the line to get in gets long very quickly. There are lots of great baked goods made inside the cafe. We had a twice baked almond croissant, very nice, and a delicious ham and gruyere biscuit. Cafe latte was smooth and delicious. We have morning oatmeal which was good with granola that was average. We also had a great eggs Benedict, creamy yellow hollandaise sauce over two perfectly poached eggs sitting on a fantastic biscuit. Excellent service. read more

The frittata I had today was barely edible. I was extremely disappointed in the food. However, the service was fine.

Very delicious! Beautiful indoor space with excellent food. Highly recommend as a brunch option in the Berkshires

YUM! This is why I always ask locals (and use yelp) where to eat- traveling for business and asked the school I was visiting where to get a good lunch and this was there rec. it did NOT disappoint: 1) the special latte was a jasmine maple latte (jasmine tea, maple syrup and steamed coconut milk) and it was floral and light and delish 2) Baby Kale salad with chicken added- fresh ingredients, not overly dressed, so good! 3) Great service even tho it's an order at the bar cafe. The barista was precious- hipster mustache and glasses included! I will be returning to the area soon for business and and will certainly be returning to Haven read more

I want to give Haven 5 stars, if they could keep a more consistent schedule and better approach to announcing their sporadic closures- web sites work well in this regard :-). The restaurant itself is wonderful, but pricey. I love the breakfast, the food is all excellent and the coffee piping hot and interestingly sourced. There's a lot of local breakfast competition, I'm thinking Patisserie, Ottos, Dotties, GB Eats. But Haven stands alone in my book, try the huevos rancheros or pancakes. I haven't been there for lunch, but why wife tells me it's excellent. It's local street parking, avoid the tempting lot next store, carefully policed by Bagel and Brew read more

Holy deliciousness! This place is unbelievable. You grab a menu, go to the cashier, place an order, sit down and they bring you your food - easy and efficient. We only waited 5 min for our food. We ordered the veggie French rolled omelette which came with roasted shiitake and cremini mushrooms, spinach, and onion confit, a blueberry muffin, and huervos rancheros. The winter brunch meals are all served with DELICIOUSLY seasoned roasted potatoes and mixed greens. It was the best French omelette I've ever had - made to perfection with fresh dill sprinkled on top. The prices are reasonable and the staff is super friendly. The milieu is adorable, lovely music, and everything looks incredible fresh and well crafted and cared for. Highly recommend if you're in the Berkshires! read more

Haven is always busy, always the scene. The food is always excellent, and so is the coffee. I mostly go, like the rest of humanity, for breakfast. On my last visit I had eggs scrambled, with chunks of salmon, and carmelized onions folded in, with greens on the side. It was delicious. The pastries are also delectable. At Haven, you don't take a seat and order. You order, take a number and find a seat. They bring the food to you. Lately, at busy times, they have a staffer working the line, finding tables for people while they are on line. That is a good innovation. read more

Had an amazing salad. I was able to make changes to my salad. Large portions. Turmeric tea was also very good read more

Excellent cappuccino and highly impressed with the wheat free pastries. Very fresh made to order breakfast dishes.

Cozy little joint. You walk in, grab a menu, look at the specials and go to the counter and order. Had the Huevos rancheros with hot chocolate and boyfriend had the croissant French toast with coffee . Was a little pricey but we wanted to check out this well reviewed spot before we left the berkshires. We're glad we did! Food was served quickly after ordering. Everyone was friendly.

Haven is truly a food haven!! After spending two summers in Lenox I have had my fair share of brunch/lunch trips to Haven. There is a reason why it's always packed! The salad are excellent and quite large. I recommend the Aegean salad for lunch as well as the chicken burrito (not spicy but packed with flavor...and they do have hot sauce if you'd like to spice it up!) I've had several of the benedicts as well as the pancakes and neither disappoint. Don't forget to check out the daily specials! P.S. Do not be turned off by the long line---they have a seating system that is effective and I have never had to actually wait for a table. read more

I stopped in here for a Cortado (for myself) and a ginger tea for a friend of mine. They also had a full breakfast crowd on this particular Sunday morning and the croissants looked incredible. I was surprised to see they also served alcoholic drinks with local selections (not too many cafe's around here have booze). It was a quick in 'n out, but the ambiance was warm and inviting and if I didn't have to run out, I definitely would have stayed longer. Also huge ++ that they were able to make a Cortado properly; not sure if it was on their actual menu. read more

Great breakfast/ brunch spot. This place is truly a small haven. The set up is walk up to the counter, order, seat yourself and they'll bring your food to you. They offer a large variety of food and drink including tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and even cocktails. Choosing what to order from their brunch menu was quite tough since everything sounded delicious. I decided to start out with a chocolate hazelnut latte, great decision! It was very rich but smooth and creamy and topped off with great latte art. For my meal I ordered the croissant french toast mostly because it seemed unique. It was definitely a wise choice. The texture of the croissant worked perfectly with the french toast batter. It's quite sweet as one might expect so I got a side of scrambled eggs to balance out the sweetness. However, I was not a fan of the eggs, my particular portion was dry and slightly overdone. My husband ordered the santa fe omelette and loved it! It had bacon, poblano peppers and was topped with sour cream, salsa, and fresh avocado slices. He was in tex-mex heaven! Love this spot, will definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area! read more

The food here is pretty good. Not amazing - but certainly not bad. It's a limited menu but nothing on it was unappealing. The only issue I had with Haven was that you had to seat yourself after you have ordered your meal so there is not guarantee you will get a seat. Haven is a busy place so this got my anxiety up a bit as I was ordering food and trying to see if there was an available table. I also might just be crazy. read more

Everyone orders at the counter and then sits and waits for their food to be served. I ordered blueberry pancakes, they were great and tasted homemade. Seating was very tight and it was hard to move around the crowded tables but I didn't find this to be a problem. Our orders were served promptly. read more

The food, especially the pastry and brunch menu are excellent! The coffee is also amazing

Very popular for a reason. The food is good and the service is quick. Don't be deterred by the line - it moves quickly.

I love this place but the line is always very long when I go! Although last time I was in the area, I did not think they were open during COVID which is a shame because I would've loved to grab takeout from here. The food is awesome, service is clearly overwhelmed with the weekend crowds, and the atmosphere is nice but they could use some outdoor seating. read more

We came here for brunch after seeing what the days inn had for the free breakfast, and finding out there was a long wait for a table at elektras cafe (we had two kids with us). Parking was a little thin given the area it is located in and the parking lot next door is for another restaurant. A huge win for me- they have gluten free bread so I was able to get French toast. It was a little dense but really good nonetheless. I did nt like that they had obscene items for sale right as you walk in and one of the kids we were with was just learning to read..yay. My friend got some avocado and pumpkin seed salad she loved. My sister got the veggie omelette that came with roasted potatoes and salad she loved it. The kids got the gluten free French toast and didn't even flinch, and ate it all! It is a little pricey but it was a great choice for our last few moments together yesterday. I would absolutely come back. Ps they don't seat you you grab a menu, order, and find a table. read more

Grab a menu, order at the counter and the food comes to your table. 4* for service 4.5* for food. Tuesday morning menu was ok, but less than standard. Sat and sun brunch menus definitely what drew me to the place, but instead I found a limited offering. Nonetheless, the kitchen was willing to accommodate requests. The croissant French toast was very very tasty. Well done, textually interesting and not too sugary. Eggs over salmon and onions were nicely balanced in flavor and salt. Eggs were perfectly cooked. Roasted garlic accompanied roasted potatoes. Greens were fresh, bread crusty outside, chewy soft inside. Single sunny side up egg slightly overlooked. Ham deli style and not thick cut (grrrrr) Salted caramel macchiato tasted like regular macchiato, really subtle caramel and difficult to discern salt. Location: street parking not bad, on a strip of plenty of tasty eats Ambience 4*: just right, not pretentious, not over fluffed. Bathroom 3*: clean, spacious, but not kid friendly; knob didn't work and lock latch too high for little ones to go by themselves. Would definitely return, especially for weekend brunch. I have a feeling it will be more crowded on the weekends read more

Great service, tasty food, a favorite for our family for brunch or lunch. The tomato soup with a grilled cheese is amazing on a cold day.

Great selection of baked goods. Have had b-fast many times. Nice place to have a coffee and a delicious sweet.

A grievously excellent meal. Yes, the brunch offerings were to die for. Haven is heaven without pretention and attitude. Bring your appetite and a friend to make a moment worth savoring and sharing. A definate return location. read more

I've been coming here for YEARS, and I get equally as excited every time I return. The BEST coffee (a Number Six Depot blend), the richest hot cocoa, my all-time favorite chocolate chip pancakes, a yummy smoked salmon scramble, and a million more items to indulge in. Major kudos to the staff; the summer months bring herds of customers, and they run the place seamlessly and efficiently, despite the never-ending line--and they're ever-kind. read more

I moved away from the Berkshires last year, and one of the main things that I miss is going to Haven on the weekends. The food is delicious, and the staff are great - they're friendly and make sure that things run smoothly even when it's crazy busy in the summers. I should have reviewed them ages ago, but better late than never. read more
