The shop offers everything you want or need: comfy seating, warm environs, genuinely friendly and attentive service, delicious from-scratch foods and beverages, and good prices. The trays of homemade baked goods coming straight out of the kitchen looked and smelled wonderful, too. Hudson Roastery is really good at what it does. I highly recommend it!

Incredibly bummed, especially seeing all the positive press around the quality and the sourcing…read morethey claim to approach business with, that quite a lot of the food being served was from SYSCO or another large similar restaurant supply vendor, ordered by the case and baked from frozen. Now first off, don't get me wrong, buying in bulk or sacrificing the quality of some ingredients to large suppliers like this is definitely a reality when running a restaurant. Even moreso in this day and age when ingredient prices are exorbitant. That said, it needs to be reflected in the price point. Pastries are arranged beautifully under cloches in the display case, but I could spot the premade, ready-to-bake spinach feta bistro (https://www.chefswarehouse.com/products/QZ119984/) or ham and cheese croissant (https://www.chefswarehouse.com/products/99971/) from a mile away. The avocado spread on the preassembled breakfast sandwiches is definitely the pulp from the 3lb bag from Chef's Warehouse too. I know that taste! All of that said, they had a few items in the case that I'm sure weren't from one of these big vendors. Which was great to see. My (yes, unsolicited!) advice would be to pare down the menu. Offer just a bit less so you can focus on the quality. Try and tap into some local producers if you can! That's one of the best things about the Hudson Valley... how much all the purveyors and markets and cafes support each other. It's clear too how much they care about the community. They're dog friendly inside. No WiFi to encourage people to chat with one another. Fine. I really want to see this place continue to thrive, it's just a bit of a bummer that a significant part of the menu including things that really should be fresh, aren't.

We stopped by last year while celebrating the 4th with family. Thought we repeat our Sunday morning…read morecoffee break again this year.. It was very busy but the line did move fast. Small Parking area at location. But street parking around the area. They have great coffee which is what we remembered. Full of flavor and I don't need to sweeten it. Just enjoy it with cream. Had a banana Nutella muffin which tasted like a bran muffin with Nutella and another layer of something. It was fine but not what I was expecting. The orange muffin was fine but did not have orange flavor. Love the space as they have plenty of seating in doors and outdoor. It was a beautiful morning so perfect to sit and enjoy the warm weather, people watching and walk around the town, if you desire.

Great coffee and nice pastries…read more Lots of GEN Z stares; someone needs to teach them " hello", " thank you", and " you are welcome".

Stopped into Iron Coffee the other day for a cup of coffee. It was pretty busy so I was optimistic…read more The coffee was ok, not great, but ok. We had the dark roast and would have thought it would be a little more robust in flavor but it wasn't. It seemed a bit weak like not enough coffee used or the roast wasn't roasted dark enough. The service was great however so that was a plus. Nice and friendly staff all the way around. There were a lot of locals there so it seems to do a decent business. But to be honest, it's the only coffee house in town. The place seemed a bit dark and dirty. The exhaust system must be not working or not strong enough because the entire place smelled of what ever was being cooked on the griddle. We sat upstairs and our eyes watered the entire time we were there. The odor got on our clothes and stuck with us until we got home. Their restroom wasn't clearly marked and was kind of hidden back by the kitchen area. It was also very dark where it was located. A little more light all the way around would be helpful. The concept and decor is a great idea but it felt more like what we use to call a "greasy spoon" restaurant than a quaint coffee house. It won't take much to make it better but as it is, can't say much good about the experience it Iron Coffee Co. I hope they take this review in a positive light as there really isn't much that needs to be done to make it a very special place to go for coffee. Note: We didn't have anything to eat so can't comment on that.

This is an updated review based upon my first visit to Krafted's new location in the same building…read more I suggested their old location wouldn't win any beauty contests. Well now, they're Miss Freakin' America. The space is gorgeous. And they aced the talent competition too. I almost exclusively drink iced coffee, and I don't always love Iced Americanos. But here, they were up front about the fact that it would be an Iced Americano, when some places are sneaky about it. I appreciate that. I also liked that they offered three single origins as options. I went with the Papua New Guinea. It was great. Krafted is serious about coffee. Now they have a serious location too. 5 Stars

This tiny shop serves the absolute best latte I've had in Connecticut or elsewhere for that matter…read more This is truly the definition of a hidden gem! This coffee roaster is tucked away on the side of a building and offers the best beans you will get anywhere. They roast their own in house and so far my husband and I have tried the Bantam, Mexico and Nicaragua blends and all are fantastic and so unique. Our go to order is the maple latte which I will rave about until the end of time to everyone. They also have a small but delicious selection of baked goods to choose from but our personal favorite are the chocolate chip cookies! The workers and owner are also so kind and have great recommendations! Krafted Brew Lab is a must visit!

Truly one of the best hidden jewels in Pittsfield it's literally underground in another shopping…read moremall. Go down a flight of stairs just has a tiny sign out front on the wall go down the flight of stairs it's right there. It's a full-service coffee shop with lattes and creamers and homemade baked pastry, they sell all their own coffee right there by the pound, as well as a teas and they also have K cups. The service name was Emily she was wonderful explained everything how stuff works and everything and what the taste differences are. What was nice was if they had a Brewed flavored coffee that day was like I believe is called lemon, blueberry, blueberry lemon, it was delicious. We also had it with a homemade lemon muffin, which from the top right to the last bite, was tons of lemon taste. I'm only here in the Berkshires for a week after coming in from New York and stop there just to grab a coffee because I yelped it and on my yelp page that's what it came up with. I was like OK I called they said yeah, we have fruit flavored coffee. I went down and checked it out. It was a little hard to find, but it was well worth the search. If you were at the plaza where it's located, there is a Goodwill store And in between the Goodwill and the GameStop, there's a flight of stairs going down and that's where you have to go down. It also has an elevator for those that need handicapped accessibility. I won't get back there again this trip but the next time I come into town I will definitely go over there and have coffee. The only downside I found was that it only had seating inside the shop several couches, benches tables and chairs. Very decorative nice selection of gifts. We did buy some stickers for gifts for people. The only thing I wish it would've had was maybe outside seating. but doesn't that just the best place ever quiet calm relaxing there's a few other shops on the same floor there's like a Health Place couple of hair salons , a secondhand consignment shop and a crystal shop so it has a nice selection of shops down below, along with their coffee, store and business.

I especially liked the Hero's Blend from their large selection of fine in-house roasted coffees. Unfortunately, they left us for Fla (where we came from).

Now comes the question: with such delicious coffee being made locally, why is anyone still drinking Dunkin?

It was 12/23 and closed for the holidays, however, there was a truck with someone in it so my husband asked if he knew anything about the place. It was one of the owners, Barth, and he asked my husband questions about what I was looking for and what I like to drink. Even though the place was completely closed, he went in and created a wonderful gift box for him to give me for Christmas. The kindness alone you can't put a price on. The coffee, excellent. We love supporting local business, and this will be a go-to for coffee from now on. Please check this place out and support a wonderful company. Thank you Barth!
