    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.

    I've been here just twice while visiting the Berkshires, both visits were great and I really need…read moreto go every time I'm out there. I love their breakfast which was what we had on our most recent trip. My kids had the chocolate chip pancakes and demolished them quickly. They both said they were the best pancakes ever. I had the croissant French toast which was decadent but not too filling, a lovely breakfast. My husband had their special, pancakes with fresh peaches and mascarpone and he definitely had the best dish, tons of fresh peaches. The first latte I had was so good that I also got another to go. We also grabbed some baked goods for the road which was an awesome decision. Staff was super friendly and the restaurant is so lovely. Will be back for sure.

    We have been before and always enjoyed the food. You have to come early and expect a long line…read more They are only open for breakfast and brunch. It's very casual. You can also sit outside Order,pay, get your number and sit down. We had the special which was a sweet potato chorizo hash with poached eggs and hollandaise - honestly the chorizo lacked flavor and was not spicy enough to counteract the sweetness of the potatoes. We also had the huevos rancheros which were sublime. Nicely spiced black bean/chili sat atop a corn tortilla, eggs, avocado sour cream ..etc. Also had the famous morning glory muffin - two cappuccinos. It's pricey but worth it! We will be back

    An absolute hidden gem in New Lebanon!…read more OMG, what an adorable little cafe! We were in New Lebanon and looking for somewhere to eat around 7:30 PM. Being a small town, there weren't many options still open, so we called to see if they were still serving dinner. The sweetest lady answered and told us their kitchen closed at 8:00 PM, but they would still be happy to take us. We're SO glad we called! The moment we walked in, we loved the place. It was beautifully decorated, with fresh wildflowers they had picked themselves, the tables were set so nicely, and everything had such a warm, cozy, welcoming feel. We were seated immediately and had ice water at the table right away. The service from beginning to end was seriously top-notch. Then the wonderful lady helping us, and I'm so sorry we didn't get her name, brought out freshly baked mini blueberry muffins. OH. MY. GOODNESS. They were DELICIOUS. That was the moment we looked at each other and knew dinner was going to be good. And it absolutely was! Our daughter ordered an omelette, my wife had the steak frites, and I ordered the chicken piccata. Every single dish was delicious. My wife also ordered a blueberry cosmo, which she loved! At this point we were completely stuffed, but there was no way we were leaving without trying dessert. We ordered the red velvet cake AND the chocolate croissant bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. Did we need both? Absolutely not. Did we finish them anyway? Pretty much! The food was just THAT good. We kept telling ourselves we were full and somehow kept taking another bite. What really made this place special, though, was the hospitality. We came in close to closing time, and instead of ever making us feel rushed or like an inconvenience, they welcomed us with kindness and gave us a wonderful dinner experience. That says a lot about a place. 5 stars all the way. If you're anywhere near New Lebanon, do yourself a favor and stop here. Places like this deserve all the support and business they can get. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and genuinely wonderful people. We will DEFINITELY be back, and next time we're coming for breakfast!

    I picked up a matcha latte here, and my friend catered a delicious brunch from this spot!…read more I appreciated that the matcha didn't come pre-sweetened. It could've been whisked/blended a bit better (separated a bit), but I was happy with it overall. Regarding the catering, I was a big fan of the avocado toast (super fresh and creamy and nice flavor) and tasty muffins (I enjoyed the blueberry muffin.) It takes a bit to make drinks / food, so be sure to allocate some time--this isn't one of the factory-like cafes that churn out drinks / whip out ready-made food. The interior is cute and has assorted offerings of general foods/supplies that were fun to peruse.
