    How cool is this? The Pittsfield Rye Bakery goes way back to 1929 when its founder delivered rye breads in Brooklyn by horse and buggy. That's one hell of an origin story. The bakery is only open to the public on Friday and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The sales area has dozens of loaves, some as big as a turkey platter, for you to marvel at. Most of the breads are unsliced (except for a few sliced packaged loaves), but never fear because they have a big slicing machine that will neatly carve up your loaf into neat uniform slices. All of their breads are made right here in a 5-deck stone oven. They bake 20 kinds of breads -Ryes, Pumpernickels, Challah, Breakfast and Dessert Breads, Italian Breads, grain breads, pizza shells, and all sorts of rolls. There were quite a few generously portioned samples out fir us to munch on and help us decide what to buy. The super friendly baker helped us with our order, and sliced up our order. We ended up with two loaves - Death By Chocolate ($7) and Oatmeal, Cinnamon, Raisin Bread ($4). What an awesome place -easy FIVE STARS.

    Decent bread for a grocery deli but does not have the fresh bread smell and taste of a bakery. Poor value for the price.

    We stopped here once while in the Berkshires months ago, and liked the bread so much that we made sure to stop by the next time we were passing through.

    We stopped into Haven Cafe and Bakery for breakfast while staying in Lenox for a few days over…read moreFebruary vacation, and it was such a great find! Everything was delicious--especially the omelet topped with perfectly seasoned, incredibly flavorful tomatoes. Yum! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the only real downside was the limited parking. Overall, a wonderful breakfast spot we're glad we discovered!

We made it just in the nick of time for breakfast. They have a bunch of good shit including vegetarian shit that was nice to see. Tons of variety too: sandwiches, scrambles, bowls, buritos, omelets, sweet breakfast things. I settled on the haven scramble with scrambled eggs, butternut squash, asparagus, spinach, and goat cheese. This shit was served with bread, salad, and potatoes. This was SO good especially with a splash of hot sauce they offered on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bite of the asparagus was a nice texture addition. The portion was very plentiful, I was full for hours which is very unlike me. I was also intrigued by their "caramel inferno" coffee. I did see some what I would guess is cayenne pepper floating around in there but didn't taste it. It was a good idea but didn't pan out. The coffee just tasted like a very good caramel coffee and I was not complaining about that. GF ordered a vanilla latte and msuhroom toast which she seemed to enjoy quite a bit. We really liked their outdoor patio which allowed us to bring the dogs. It was a lovely meal in very enjoyable weather.

The lounge has 3 rooms for seating. Upon arrival you pick your table with the number, grab a menu and order at the cashier where you will inform them of your table number and place your order. The first room offers some elevated window seating for some natural bright light and people watching. The second room has plenty of seats and typically where the performers play on the mini stage. The third room has more seating, bar seating, and bathrooms. Each room has its own unique design with art. The first room has the gift shop. They also have a large patio for outdoor seating and in some of that fresh mountain air The service in Dottie's is great. How it works is you pick a table and locate the number on the table, go to the cashier to tell them your table number and place your order for food and drinks (including coffee), the staff will deliver your items to the table. Everyone is so kind and helpful. I especially enjoyed Zuko. Zuko was helpful, consistently checking on the guest and ensuring everyone got their meal in a timely manner. Zuko is a great asset to Dotties. I've been to this location several times and my favorite food is the steel cut oats with a variety of toppings that include fresh fruit and nuts . I also enjoy the Burnham bagel it's an everything bagel with cream cheese, ripe tomatoes and red raw onions, perfection! I will also typically get a lavender latte or a Matcha latte with lavender. I'll definitely be back to enjoy some of their tasty menu items. Enjoy the ambience and hopefully get to see the radiant Zuko. Cheers
