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.

We had to stop after I read some reviews and I love pastry shops in general. We tried several things but my favorite was the fruit tart. Our daughter simply adored the macarons with the different and unique flavors! My husband enjoyed the eclair and our son devoured this mini chocolate cake. I would definitely recommend this place but hoping that the service will get better.

Don't bother at all...Taft Farms is an a very cute overpriced store, a beautiful selection of…read morefruits and vegetables, with plenty of pumpkins to choose from. However, do not stop here for a bite to eat. We tried three different pie slices, a deli sandwich, and a panini, and everything tasted completely bland--like air. I actually thought for a second that I had lost my ability to taste. How can so many different things taste like absolutely nothing? I don't think these are fresh made pies or cooked by the store. Very very poor quality. On top of that, the lady behind the counter was rude, seemed unable to keep up with the orders, and looked like she would have preferred we weren't there at all. It took over 30mins for three simple sandwiches. If you want a pumpkin, vegetables, or other groceries, sure, stop in. But for anything from the bakery or deli, go elsewhere. The food was that disappointing.

To save a few dollars, we typically purchase widely-available staples/packaged goods at the Big Y next door, then head over to Guido's for specialty items only. We are not particular fans of the cafe items, however, which we've tried when we wanted to eat breakfast before shopping - wrapped breakfast sandwiches in the cafe steamtable have been greasy or generally odd-tasting (I'm looking at you, weird crumbly breakfast biscuit), and the few times we've ordered milk-based hot coffee drinks, they've been burned. Moving forward, we'll skip the cafe when we shop. Though the parking lot in the GB location is MUCH more manageable than the crazy parking lot at the Lenox location - which makes it worth the drive to GB alone...

Returning from upstate NY, wife and I had a chance to visit Great Barrington and SoCo Creamery. The…read morereason why I wanted to stop is that I read that SoCo was voted either #1 or #2 Ice Cream vendor in the Country. So, of course, we had to check it out. Also, I have not ventured a ton in western Mass (Berkshires) so this was a great chance. As we first noticed, there was a bunch of activity around SoCo. Lots of customers and a very busy street. SoCo is a neat stop with the focus on Ice Cream. When we walked in, there was a full line of customers waiting for their cone/cup of ice cream. The line moved quickly and there was plenty of staff willing to help. One thing that I was surprised at was that there was not a ton of flavors to choose from. Maybe 20 total.....which, to me, seemed like a small amount. I did not take that as a negative just surprised because I have been to a few that have over 30-40 flavors to choose from. I had chocolate chip and my wife had peanut butter fudge chocolate. We both raved about the flavor and taste! We both had smalls and just the right amount of ice cream. Price: reasonable ($5 each) Service: Excellent Vibe: laid back and family friendly Parking: plenty of parking Soft Serve; No (I did not see any) Hard Ice Cream: Yes Would I return: Of course...if In the area again

Just a Cappuccino with three shots of coffee today. It was a great concoction with great flavor. My only gripe is that I am not a fan of a Cappuccino in a paper cup, as we were sitting at a table to enjoy the coffee and conversation. Had they offered a true Cappuccino cup, it would have been perfect!
