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!

Then we tried the olive bread and of course we bought a whole loaf! The chocolate chip cookies are always a must and I also wanted to try Ginger molasses cookies, and I was very happy with my choice! After we tried the bread with olives, we went back and bought three pizzas, a whole grain loaf, baguette, white sourdough and sesame !! Also very delicious ! The store it's quite small, but has a variety of products and the cashiers were very nice and helpful! An absolute must if you're in the area!!

"You never see it coming, You never have a clue,…read moreBut there's trouble on the horizon, Bubbling like a roux" (Jimmy Buffet) Walking around and browsing the shops in Great Barrington on a beautiful Spring Day was a real enjoyable experience. We wanted to try a new place for lunch and ended up at Marjoram And Roux for a very nice lunch, It has a front showcasw with baked goods and prepared salads and a big roll of butcher paper on the wall where the day's specials are listed. We ordered at the front counter, grabbed a table in the modestly sized dining room and our two sandwiched came out very fast. My wife ordered a Prosciutto Baguette with arugula, red pepper tapenade, and Buffalo Mozzarella with an aged balsamic dressing for $16. I ordered a Pita Sadwich with White Bean Hummus, Beets, Olives, Pickled Onions, and Arugula for $12. Both sandwiches were served with a small salad of local greens. I loved my sandwich. The pillowy softness of the pita, the smooth velvety texture of the hummus, the sweetness of the beets, and the saltiness of the olives all combined for one fantastic sandwich. Portion size was generous, and since we knew we'd be stopping down the street for ice cream, we each took home half of our lunch. Pricing was reasonable at just around $30 after tax and before tip. There's a lot of lunch choices in Great Barrington and we were very happy with ours.

Very good coffee and hot drinks, teas, iced drinks. We split a spinach croissant into 4 and inhaled it in 2 seconds, it was good.

But the prize goes to the big, round Ginger Molasses cookie, studded with ginger and perfectly sweetened. A few cozy tables, nice natural lighting, relaxing background music and a friendly staff make for the perfect stop along your way.

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.

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!

The soft pretzel, made fr spent brewer's grain was really good! The cheddar ale soup was a bit disappointing. It delivered on the ale, but the soup was thin and had a kind of gritty texture. Not the creamy texture you'd expect in a cheese soup. My wife got the brisket sandwich with fries. It was odd. Normally brisket is served sliced which accentuates the tenderness, but this was pulled, like pulled pork. The flavor was okay. I had the chicken pot pie which was okay. I wouldn't order it again. We didn't like the service at all. The staff wasn't really welcoming at all. When I went to the bar to pay for a four pack of brown ale, I waited probably five minutes before anyone paid attention to me. Two servers and the bartender all basically ignored me, and the bar wasn't busy. The bartender was engaged in small talk with other patrons. The highlights were the beer and the chocolate stout cake, which we took home. The beer is excellent. I had a brown ale and a stout. The chocolate stout cake with chocolate ganache is really good! In the end, the other reviews I saw were pretty accurate. Beer - great! Food - meh. Service - not good.
