Peach and Ginger also a Double Chocolate muffin. Delicious. The down side was the very unprofessional attitude of the server behind the counter. We wanted fresh coffee and she actually lied to us about that, instead the coffee urn was mostly empty and not fresh. As for the Housatonic location we ordered some fabulous Almond Croissants and Baguette and San Francisco Bread loaf. Whoa delicious. The woman serving us was outstanding and her very professional attitude was a relief compared to their Pittsfield experience we had. Thank you!

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.

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...

Wine and liquor selection is excellent and while the prices are higher than those in most supermarkets, the quality and choice are worth it. Service is excellent; their cheese selection is breathtaking, and their prepared foods are far more interesting than any I have seen elsewhere! I could say more -- but urge you to see for yourself.

Oh my goodness, SoCo is the BEST! We were introduced to this absolutely outstanding ice cream shop…read moreby our daughters who attend a summer camp in Great Barrington. We had been there previously with them, and then during our recent weekend stay in the Berkshires, we actually visited SoCo THREE times!!!! Yes, we went there every day because it's that good. SoCo has so many unusual flavors like Butter Cake, lemon poppy, and blueberry honey lavender, and my favorite flavor is Silver Bells which contains goat cheese, pistachios, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips. The ice cream ingredients are mostly locally sourced and are all carefully chosen. You can tell the care that is put into SoCo's flavors as they are all so creamy and delicious. The only thing that would make this place better would be homemade waffle cones, but the ice cream is so amazing that I'm still giving them 5 stars. When you go to SoCo, be sure to check out the wall decor where customers have written things they'll always remember and things they wish they had the courage to do. This is a don't miss place in Great Barrington!

But everything is outrageously expensive Here's why I gave a one star review If they could be a bit friendlier more helpful or even give a hoot about customers - it would be an ok experience paying top dollar for everything. But they act like you are bothering them - disturbing them as they stand around In addition their hours of operation are erratic at best. If they post on line they open at 10 you risk going only to find out they decided to open at 11.. very capricious. Lots of great cheeses out there -- Sorry We won't be back.

What else is on the menu besides Bagels?…read more I saw a lot of Jewish neighborhood items like bialys, smoked salmon, egg creams. whitefish salad, baked salmon salad, corned beef, matzoh ball soup, pastrami, chopped chicken liver, rugelach, and brisket among the seemingly hundreds of other choices. Simply put, Great Barrington Bagel is one fantastic place of fantastic choices. Let's start with their bagels, I mean after all, that's the namesake of the place. They make them the traditional NYC way - boiled and then baked in a 500-degree oven for a dense crust and chewy interior. How many kinds of bagels do they make? How about 21, plus spinoff types like bialys and flagels (flat crusty bagels). Oh, and do you want cream cheese on top of that particular bagel you had to agonizingly choose among? Well, be prepared for another tough choice, because GBBC has 17 flavors of cream cheeses. I ordered a cup of Chicken Noodle Soup with Matzoh Ball ($4.75) and a BLT on a jalapeno bagel ($8.50). Their indoor tables are still not available, but there were maybe six big picnic tables with benches outside. Everything was occupied when we walked outside with our food, including one table where an unsmiling matronly type nursing a cup of Dunkin Donuts informed us in no uncertain terms that she was holding that table for her friends' arrival, and she'd rather not share her precious table with us. Anyway, we eventually found a table and enjoyed our lunch. My soup was great! Lots of big carrot chunks, delicious tender chicken chunks, and a very good matzoh ball, served with bagel chips. The BLT had quite a bit of perfectly cooked Hickory Smoked Bacon. I had my Jalapeno bagel toasted. It was served with a sour pickle spear and was a real good combination of tastes and textures. My only quibble was the Jalapeno Bagel itself, it just wasn't very "jalapeno-y" to me. But that was just a teeny tiny blip on the day's radar. Well, that and the guardian of the bench, who was still sitting there by herself as we cleaned up our trash and left. As I was leaving, I looked her in the eyes and said, "Hope you enjoy your lunch". Sensing none of my sarcasm, she smiled and said thanks.
