Stopped in to grab a bagel and a matcha latte. The place has a casual coffee shop atmosphere that gives off college vibes of camp out for an afternoon. I found the service to be quick and both the food and latte came out quick and delicious even on a busy Sunday morning. read more

A nice coffeeshop with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The chai has very subtle flavor and I like to taste the spices in mine. The mocha was excellent. We also tried the chocolate mousse cake, which was really good. In today's day and age, I wish they had allergen information available. They do have gf labels but not vegan labels and no one working there knows whether an item is or isn't. The restrooms are shared with the information center and not maintained, so quite dirty. As is the issue with "self-bussing" - most people don't actually do it and so you're stuck cleaning up to sit down and cleaning up after you're done. read more

Tunnel City Coffee - Mousse cake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

I've been a patron of Tunnel City since it opened some two decades ago. while I still love it, over the last 6 months or so, management has taken to playing loud music. I don't know what Spotify streaming they are using or if it's something else, but it's obnoxious. Not the type of background music most coffee shops have. There are students in there working, people trying to have conversations etc. Sometimes the music sounds like techno-- what am I at a coffee rave or something? Once I politely asked the manager if the music could be turned down a bit. I got a sneer and a defensive response. please TC do something about this obnoxious music! you have competition now a few blocks away. read more

Sadly is the only coffee shop in Williamstown. Get ready for prices past NYC, with mediocre quality and attitudes from the servers. I've tried most of food; everything not in the bakery is a total waste of money and is worse than from a grocery store. Baked goods are decent, if you're willing to go into debt for it. I'm sure you justify by using local ingredients- sadly, it doesn't show in the quality. Wished you used all the GMOs. And get ready to see every single person you know if you live in Williamstown and be unable to find a seat! It's delightful ;) read more

Coffee was great! Fast service Staff all pleasant Took some small baked cakes, one was mocha, the other chocolate. We had them the next day and still deliscious!! read more

This place is such a gem and was right next to our hotel. They have EXCEPTIONAL muffins! Seriously, probably the best I've had and you know they're fresh because they also sell discounted day olds separately. We got blueberry (sooo many tiny blueberries) and pumpkin with white chocolate chips. They both had a gorgeous crunchy crust on top with flavorful and moist interiors. We also enjoyed our americanos, matcha with almond milk (unsweetened), and my husband enjoyed his cold brew. They have a large variety of teas, other desserts, and quiches too. There is cozy seating both inside and outside. read more

Tunnel used to be great. Since I moved away, locals say it's gone downhill, and sadly I can now confirm. Coffee not great. Floors and tables dirty with trash and napkins. And five minutes after I paid for coffee and got out my laptop, the staff randomly shut down more than 2/3 of the total seating "due to reduced service" until closing. This was the middle of the afternoon. They instantly set up giant folding screens to block off most of the place that we had to awkwardly budge past to exit. And the staff directed everyone into the small front area to find new seats where... every seat was very obviously already taken. Lame and bizarre. read more

Coffee and service are great. But the baked goods are sad and undercooked. Somebody please tell the baker to turn up the oven temp or just wait until the baked goods start to brown. read more

The coffee frappe was deliscous! I had a blueberry muffin that was moist and very tasteful. I alzo brought two cookies home and while I didnt eat them, my neices said they were great! read more

Great vibes and the iced mocha was delicious. Didn't love the dirty chai I got, but overall I'd go back.

Tunnel City roasts and serves deep, flavorful coffee both near the farmers market and also at the Mass MoCA in North Adams. It is the type of place where you may not even want coffee, but when you walk by, you smell something heavenly and just have to treat yourself! I had a decaf espresso that was truly excellent with a good crema despite having a larger than expected liquid volume. The severs at the Mass MoCA where I ordered were super nice and happy to serve me even though they were about to close. Would definitely come back on a trip to either Williamstown or North Adams. read more

Visiting from NJ/ NYC. While I'm not much of a coffee drinker, I ordered two different quiches. They were amazing, chock full, and about double the size of a normal quiche. It was so good my toddler (who is a picky eater), dug in and we had to order a third. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. We also sat outside and enjoyed the rockers and ambiance. read more

Got a London fog and egg sandwich on a bagel to go. The tea was great, but the sandwich was dry. We liked it otherwise and would try again but would add cream cheese on the bagel too. read more

This is probably one of the best coffee shops I've been to outside of NYC. Since moving from the city, I haven't had too much luck finding a good coffee shop, but this one hit the spot. The staff is really friendly; the café is very clean; and the expresso...my God the expresso was amazing! I've been here three times with friends and family. It's literally becoming a morning ritual lol! read more

Service now is very slow. What happened? It takes forever to get a cup of coffee. (Coffee is still good)

A must if your in Williamstown, or like we did 2x.. great place to fuel up before an epic bike ride up Mt Greylock and post ride pick me up. Espresso drinks, my go to and test of a coffee shop, were excellent. A double espresso was pulled to perfection, the americano had the perfect amount of water (16oz for 2shots). Love the self serve cinnamon. Very friendly and fast. Great seating and thanks for ample gender neutral bathrooms. read more

Tunnel City Coffee - Bacon egg on English muffin with a coffee. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

I had read really good reviews about this place, and as a coffee aficionado and former barista I was really excited to give them a try! Went in today and ordered a cappuccino. I was pretty horrified with what I got. I watched the barista scoop giant bubbly froth from a pitcher into a to go cup and then dump two shots of espresso on top. WHAT??? Not only does it look terrible, but you aren't incorporating your espresso into the milk and froth at all. And there basically WAS NO milk, just froth and non even micro froth. I figured maybe the barista was new? So I went back up to the register and let the cashier know that I was disappointed in my beverage. She apologized but then explained that that is how they make cappuccinos. THAT IS THEIR METHOD. She offered to replace my drink but I declined. Maybe if I had just ordered a latte or a cup of coffee I would have left this place with a better taste in my mouth (pun intended) but after seeing the horror show of that cappuccino I didn't want to try something else. Two stars for the tasty brownie, my husband's cup of decent tea, and the friendly and apologetic cashier. But I definitely won't be back. read more

Tunnel City Coffee - Cappuccino? Cappucci-NO! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

Wonderful staff, outstanding food and coffee and they make you feel like a local/regular.

Ordered a dry cappuccino and got one so foamy that I needed a putty knife to get rid of some of it. But the espresso was very good. Terrific looking baked goods and a cute place. Bought their own small batch roasted beans. The cranky girl behind the counter who kept telling us they were closing in ten minutes was balanced out by the other folks who worked there. Good cup and a coffee house I would frequent if I lived there. read more

Lovely, fast service. Food quality is excellent for the price. Coffee is strong and delicious. Best quiche I've ever had! Love the ambience of both locations. read more

I really liked the building with all of the art work. They are socially distancing, however, there's no way to know when it's safe to go in. Several people were lined up and finally most of us just went in and it looked like we were at the right number. They also have a public restaurant in the hallway and plenty of inside and outside seating so you can definitely relax and enjoy your coffee at this location. I ordered a cold brew and a mocha iced latte. The cold brew was done instantly but the mocha iced latte took forever. There were at least four staff members doing nothing behind the main counter and only one woman making all of the drinks at another counter. I actually worried they forgot about my coffee since it was taking so long. The coffee is just okay. The cold brew was good but the mocha was incredibly sweet. I wouldn't order that again. We eventually combined both and made a mocha cold brew that was pretty good. I was surprised neither coffee was super strong. I'm glad I checked them out and the campus downtown area is great with a lot of stores and public parking so it wasn't a wasted trip but they wouldn't be my first or second choice in the future. read more

Coffee was delicious, went back every day I was there to grab a cup! We got some of their delicious pastries as well, they were also amazing. read more

This is a class A coffee establishment. As an attendee of the 2013 Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, I wound up staying @ the Williams Inn for the weekend. By my second day I had a hankering for a REAL cup of joe. Luckily, I ventured in to town & discovered Tunnel City. Needing a strong cup of wake-up, I ordered a Black Eye. I was surprised to find out that my server did not know that a Black Eye was comprised of "A cup of American coffee with two shots of espresso added. Also known as a Sling Blade, Depth Charge, Shot in the Dark, Cafe Tobio, Autobahn, or Hammerhead. " After I explained to him what I wanted, he let me know that they had a drink with one shot of expresso called a "Shultzie," He than ask me my name and told me that, henceforth, a cup of coffee with two shots of expresso would be called a "Stannie." My "Stannie" was quite good (and potent). It got me though some hot and humid weather that weekend. I made sure to swing by Tunnel City for another one on the way out of Williamstown! read more

Tunnel City Coffee - The "Stannie" - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

I was happy they let me in cuz it's mostly smart people in there. I kept to myself and no one asked me my gpa . Great coffee and cake.

I wish I lived closer so I could get their beverages more often! I was in love with a chocolate coffee frappe I ordered here. I was nervous because these types of drinks can go either way, but this one was way, way good! My husband was jealous! However, he was in luck because his regular dark roast coffee was also excellent. Even though this place is right next to the museum and the counter guy looked exactly like you imagine a server at a coffee shop next to a museum would look, the service was a nice contrast to the stereotype. Our server was friendly. The space is small, but nice, and it's an excellent addition to a visit to the museum. read more

Stopped here for a cappuccino, a chai and 2 cold brews. Cappuccino and chai were crap. Walked out with out the cold brews bc of the extra long wait. Starbucks or Dunkin's would have been a better choice. read more

One of the better coffee shops in the region... that makes you feel like you are in a sweet cafe in the city. They always have a wonderful selection of baked goods and decadent hot beverages. read more

Delish joe; the WiFi was limited to the museum side and the power outlets had all been removed, which makes me think the proprietors made the wise decision to de-laptop-zombify the space in favor of the non-electronically-inclined visitors. That's a plus. I like the train/Hoosac tunnel theme although if you're going to go that way, make the full commitment and have some cutesier names for things and the back story of the deadliest tunnel ever constructed woven in to the theme a bit more. (I quibble.) read more

Tunnel City Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

This coffee shop is tucked around the corner from Mass MoCA. You literally walk past it on the way to the museum door. I stopped here for coffee on my way out of the museum. I could have grabbed a cup at the cafe in the museum but I wanted to try this place because they roast their own beans. I got a cup of dark roast. It's definitely darker and bolder than others. There are some interesting drinks in the cooler - like a locally brewed root beer (which we tried). For a hipster place I was surprised that there was only whole milk or cream out. I had to ask for alternative milk (almond, soy, etc). read more

These folks make a dynamite chai latte and have excellent cold brew as well, perfect to drink black as it's not acidic in the least. The MassMoCA location is also solid as well. read more

Very good breakfast quiche and yummy muffins great coffee good place to go in Williamstown!! Nothing more to add

I only had chance to pick up a quick cortado. Will definitely be back. Was really good and made well.

WORST Mocha I have ever had in my life....absolutely ZERO coffee flavor and tasted like a weak hot chocolate....my daughter was with me and she was a barista. Said that they are doing it all wrong....too bad this town is amazing and deserves a great coffee place. Only reason they have any biz is they are the only game in town... Make the drive to Duncan you will at least get something that tastes like coffee read more

Solid coffee, iced latte with oat milk was good and the baristas were chill and friendly.

Outstanding coffee, baked goods, and staff. I have visited several times and have also ordered coffee from their web site and have never been disappointed. read more
