Great sandwich at a decent price. Had a pastrami Reuben and it was delicious. The other folks I was with were all happy with their choices.

**DISCLOSURE STATEMENT** I find aspects of writing this…read morereview difficult due to being an Amherst College alum and, therefore, eschewing, forever, all things "Williamstown." You have been informed. :) I have passed The Store at Five Corners to attend my sons' sporting events for years. Today I broke down and tried it for lunch en route to a track meet. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have visited, and how disappointed I am to have wasted a decade not frequenting this place. It's a Normal Rockwell-esq, quaint and rustic colonial country store. The staff was simply outstanding. Local, authentic, attentive, personable yet professional and added to my experience (I wish I had gotten their names). They have delicious looking treats and baked goods, an array of interesting dry goods and unique drinks in a cold case - but the main focus is their breakfast and lunch sandwich, salad, and coffee menu. The list of offerings does not go on for days. It's efficient, and clearly allows them to be good at 12 things - rather than meh at 30. I ordered possibly the greatest plate of food I've ever had in Berkshire County with the white miso hummus and pickled vegetable salad. WOW. It was tasty, well proportioned and conceived, and balanced well beyond my expectations. I did add chicken at the suggestion of the staff - and even the chicken was additive. Perfectly cooked (I suspect wonderfully sous vide), tender, all natural, and tasty. I enjoyed it so much that as soon as my first plate was cleared (yes, you heard that correctly), I ordered a second!!! And, for the record, it was not due to a skimpy portion. It was due to how much I enjoyed my lunch. It's menued at $15 before chicken addition - call it $21 all in with protein and tax. So so worth it. I literally cannot wait to find an excuse to come back to *GULP* Williamstown. I believe our spring sports schedule has us back relatively soon. The staff made me promise to try the falafel next time. I certainly will (very likely with another one of these as well). Fantastic.

A lovely gift shop that also serves breakfast and lunch. They offer grocery items, beer, and wine,…read morealong with art for sale and live music. The space is beautifully decorated, and the service was friendly. It has a great vibe -- hip, artsy, and quaint.

This is the cafe associated with the Clark art museum and institute…read more We had a wonderful late lunch here, of the beet salad and a veggie pizza. The pizza is on a filo dough crust. Crisp and delicious. The salad had both red and golden beets and a spicy balsamic dressing. My partner asked if she could get a small side of chicken, and was given some by the wonderful staff, who wouldn't even hear of charging her for it. (Your mileage may vary.) You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. They have a specialized kids menu, as well. I'll happily return each time I visit the Clark.

Below average, below ground museum café. I could blame the architects of the new unit, who stuck…read morethis downstairs in the back with a kind of soulless seating floor and a very awkward cafeteria-style system. But the food direction is also odd, with an order-with-numbers system where you have to wait for it if you're going outside to eat (which requires schlepping your food up some massive stairs and around two turns just to get to the outside area) but for which they'll deliver if you're in the dismal downstairs. It's a huge missed opportunity; the largely empty (perhaps to keep it aesthetically pleasing) spot for the bookstore/gift shop, obviously positioned on the first floor to get more traffic, is adjacent to the outside seating area and would have been a far better choice for the café. The counter service was a strange mix of hovering and inattentive. As for the food, it's a theoretically nice set of high-end salads with no hot options (the hot stuff we ordered was just tepid), but is thrown together, given ingredients and pricing. The salmon-spinach salad, for example, was just baby spinach with sort of indifferent slices of salmon (not chopped for better coverage for flavor) tucked at random inside; the caesar salad was about as plain as you could imagine, and the special "Buddha Bowl", which a tasty original, was a pretty small portion for double digit pricing. It's adequate but it's not the kind of café to make you say "oh, let's meet for lunch at the Clark!", and without good inside seating that takes advantage of the beautiful view, adjacent to that view, it's just a quick refueling stop.

We stopped by Eagle Street Cafe this morning while traveling through the New England states and…read morewere pleasantly surprised by the outstanding service we received! Nicole and Jeremy were the only two people working in what was clearly a very busy cafe, yet they worked together seamlessly to make everyone's experience as enjoyable as possible. Despite the staffing challenges and the demands of a busy morning, both maintained a positive attitude and demonstrated a genuine commitment to providing excellent customer service. Our avocado toast was absolutely delicious, and we truly appreciated the effort, teamwork, and friendly attitudes Nicole and Jeremy brought to their work. It's refreshing to see employees who take such pride in what they do, especially under challenging circumstances. They deserve recognition for going above and beyond to make their customers feel welcome. Thank you, Nicole and Jeremy, for making our morning special! Eagle Street Cafe is fortunate to have you both on its team. We would gladly return!

If you got all the time in the world and a lot to chat about with the group of people you're with,…read morethen don't mind getting breakfast here. If you're in a rush and got places to be, this is not the place for you. My friends and I decided to come here for breakfast and there was only two people working the front, which included running the espresso machine. They clearly needed more people in the front as these two women were bussing tables, sitting guests down, taking phone orders, ringing people up, and making coffee all at once. Having a dedicated hostess, busboy, and bartender would have solved the stress that was being asserted. But hey, not my business. We essentially sat ourselves down as one of the waitress told us to do so. Waiting for the menu to be given to us took a good 5 minutes. Having our order taken took probably another 10. After our food came out, it was a struggle again to get the check, so I decided to stand by the cashier to pay my bill, which took a good 10 minutes. Those two women never really smiled the entire time I was there and I don't blame them as they're clearly being overworked and it was only the morning shift. Foodwise, The Corn Beef Hash was not what I expected it to be and would have passed on it. I got to try my friend's food and they were much better. Those included the Monte Cristo and the Belgian Waffles. Their lattes were really good as well, but I do regret ordering them as it's extra work for the waitress.

I love it here! The…read moresandwiches are unlike anything I've ever had. The Happy Chick is a popular favorite, but I really like the Ryker, and the Sawyer the best! Everything always tastes fresh, and the employees are always so nice. My favorite part is the wide variety of homebaked goods that are restocked every day! I go for a slice of pumpkin bread as often as I can! The brownies and big beautiful cupcakes are also very popular. The market also stocks a range of items you would find at a convenience store, such as snacks and beverages, or shampoo if you need it. My only complaint is that there is no telling how long it will take to make your food. Sometimes you can be in and out within a few minutes, but other times it could take me half an hour to make my sandwich, even if the restaurant doesnt appear to be busy. So if you are getting your food to go, call ahead if you can!

Tries to justify prices by using local products- well, it doesn't account for the sub-mediocre quality. No matter what I buy (i.e. a bottled drink and coffee cake) the total price blows my mind. Don't be fooled by lack of pictures; I've unfortunately been here too many a time as a Williams student. So happy to never have to come here again. Do better.

Good ice cream, hit or miss food, seething hostility from the service…read more This place is convenient to Mass MoCA, tucked in by the main entrance to the museum building, just past the gift shop. Some signage would have helped, because we had trouble locating it on our first visit. The place can get backed up, especially when timed events are finishing up. Service is not slow when there are few people, but the kitchen seems to get backed up after a line forms. I had the black bean burrito, which was pretty tasty with cholula, and my daughter had a grilled cheese. The caesar salad my wife had was not so great, mostly due to the rock hard slabs of cold chicken breast. So, the food seems hit or miss. We really enjoyed the ice cream, house made with good flavors and served slightly soft. The service was deplorable, though it may have just been our experience with one server. The young lady taking our order was extremely rude and seemed very put upon having to take our simple, friendly order. She even disappeared mid-order to go stand idle somewhere else and it was unclear if she was coming back until I called out to her to which she snapped "I'm listening!" but it certainly wasn't clear that she was listening. I will always look past mediocre service and bad days - the service industry is tough - but the outright hostility is unacceptable in any social setting. Management should definitely be on top of this and take more care on who is placed in customer facing roles.
