They always have great looking specials too. My son and I decided to stop in one Saturday morning before yard work. We got breakfast sandwiches and I also got a pumpkin cheesecake muffin!! The bagels were so good! So fresh and the seasoning on the everything bagel was perfect. The iced coffee was just what I needed on a warm fall day! I was asked if I wanted my muffin warmed up, but I decided to just eat it as it was. It was so good. I don't know of any near by places that offer such an amazing breakfast. They serve lunch too. They have indoor and outdoor seating! The atmosphere feels like you are sitting at home eating your food. It's so cozy!!

We came here for lunch today, and it was such a lovely trip down memory lane. Many years ago, when…read moreI used to visit the Berkshires with different friends and my family, I would stay at Peter and Meredith's Old Inn on the Green. Peter and Meredith also own this café, so returning here brought back some wonderful memories. One of the things I've always loved is their tuna melt--and I was thrilled to see that it's still available! When we walked in, Brandon, who was working behind the counter, greeted us warmly. He explained that brunch had ended at 2:30 p.m., but we could still order lunch. Brandon was incredibly courteous, personable, and helpful, and his friendly welcome immediately made us feel comfortable. My husband and I both ordered the tuna melt. And apparently, one wasn't enough for me because I ended up ordering a second tuna melt just for myself. Yes, I had two tuna melts for lunch--and I have absolutely no regrets. It was just as delicious as I remembered. We also purchased a package of coffee to take home and enjoy later. We arrived fairly late in the afternoon, close to closing time, so most of the tempting pastries had already sold out. Honestly, that just gives us another reason to come back soon--next time, we'll make sure to arrive earlier! I walked out happy, and completely satisfied.

The eggs and tortillas were perfectly fried and the creamy black beans were so smooth and delicious. The fresh cinnamon roll was moist and gooey with the right amount of sweetness.

There is a wonderful community vibe to the place as well as locals mixed in with families who have vacationed there for years.

ORIGIN: Ilsa started in 2019 as a two-person specialty…read morecoffee roasting company based in Stamford, Connecticut, but moved facilities to North Canaan soon thereafter. Ilsa (pronounced Il - sah) is a feminine name, and was chosen by one of the founders -- Lucas Smith -- in honor of his grandmother. CONCEPT: The addition of a cafe in a former auto repair facility in downtown North Canaan invites customers to experience coffee varieties, as well as pick up some unique culinary products that are artfully displayed along the cafe's perimeter. AMBIANCE: Bright yellow cafe tables and chairs are scattered across what was once the auto mechanic's work space. Ample sunlight streams through two glass garage doors. EXPERIENCE: Outside of the effort to cap a cup with a decorative pour of steamed milk, a visit to Ilsa Coffee will make prior coffee house experiences to appear careless in comparison. During my visit a macchiato was ceremoniously served on a wood tray in an amber glass with a side of sparkling water. The owners, Lucas Smith and Rebecca Grossman, have chosen a roasting method that amplifies the inherent flavors of the harvest. Combined, this results in a special coffee house experience. TIPS: Ilsa Coffee has opened its doors to periodic pop ups that feature the talents of local culinary artists. This is a great way to learn more about the surrounding community. During a mid-February pop up two local chefs prepared a special brunch menu, while a potter sold "seconds" of ceramics in the cafe dining area. Bags of Ilsa Coffee are available in the storefront location. Be sure to include North Canaan when using GIS as I was first directed to 35 Railroad Street in Canaan, around ten minutes away.
