Escape into chocolate bliss here, where even the aromas are intoxicating. This award-winning chocolatier offers wedges of decadent cakes, ice creams, and sorbets, and dazzling chocolates all made on-site. Whether you like your chocolate dark and pure, sugar-free—even with a chipotle filling—you can't go wrong. You can eat at one of a handful of leather couches or wooden chairs and tables, but don't expect so much as a salad or a wrap: it's all chocolate, all the time.
The best Mexican food in the Berkshires can be found at this unassuming spot where traditional cuisine meets local ingredients. The menu is small but every item is done well, and often served with side dishes in cute little tortilla cups.
Just a short drive from the busy downtown you'll find this seasonal road-side food shack that always has a line of locals waiting to order the famous Box Burger with hand-cut parmesan and truffle oil fries. Fresh lobster and crab rolls, fish tacos, and pulled pork sandwiches with rhubarb barbecue sauce are the last thing you'd expect to find at this eclectic spot along a busy road out of town.
The tiny A-frame at the intersection of U.S. 7 and Route 2 isn't much to look at, but the bakery within sells delectable goods that inspire loyalty in locals and visitors alike. The babka—especially the chocolate, though there's also a cinnamon edition—is second to none and must be ordered a day ahead. It's worth the wait, but be aware that there is no place to sit inside and enjoy it.
Popular with college students for its reasonable prices, this restaurant serves up delicious food all day with especially good deals at lunch and the Sunday brunch buffets. The cooks do well with everything from tandoori chicken and other standards to the full Raja Thali dinner special, all served with a trio of flavorful chutneys.
FroYo lovers won't want to miss this locally crafted frozen yogurt made with ingredients from nearby farms, right down to the milk. Enjoy the tart, yet refreshing, Original flavor, or one of the rotating special flavors like Peach Pie or S'Mores. Vegan, dairy-free flavors are available, along with a bar of fun toppings.
Specialty pizzas at this trattoria go far beyond the usual toppings, from roasted sweet potatoes and fennel to pineapple and coconut: combinations are weird, but tasty. Baba Louie's fires up sourdough ground wheat, spelt-berry, and even gluten-free crusts in their often crowded, rustic interior.
The raised seating area by the windows somehow adds a touch of class to this quintessential coffee shop where the art crowd hangs out. In addition to fine coffee, friendly baristas serve soups and sandwiches, as well as Sunday brunch alongside live music. Dessert nights are offered during the summer to help feed your cravings after taking in a show.
Not much has changed at this hole-in-the-wall including its single lunch counter lined with a small row of stools and its cash-only policy. Locals head here for inexpensive wieners and hamburgers, plain or topped with chili, cheese, or both, but don't expect to find a seat during lunch hour.
Formerly known as Sushi House, this pan-Asian restaurant on the main drag offers up Chinese, Thai, Korean, and Japanese classics in a comfortable atmosphere. From curries and bibim bap to sushi and bento boxes, Meng's extensive menu has something for everyone, at an affordable price.
This small-batch roastery and café also serves as an art gallery and community hangout. Stop in for expertly poured slow drip coffee or cold brew made with their own coffee bean blend soaked in cold water for 18 hours. Grab a quick breakfast or one of their paninis for lunch.
Micro-batched and hand-crafted ice cream makes this small shop tucked in a side street a must stop for any ice-cream lover. Be adventurous and try one-of-a-kind flavors like Blueberry Honey Lavender or Mission Figs, made with figs hand-shucked by the makers.
If you can find a parking spot along the busy main road through Lee, you'll want to stop and grab a sweet or savory crepe from this casual breakfast and lunch spot. Menu choices include delicious flavor pairings like a spicy Reuben crepe or lemon lavender crepe. On Sunday, enjoy live music and take in some art at the gallery space attached to the main dining room.
Enjoy a small slice of Paris at this French-Berkshire fusion pâtisserie run by Pastry Chef Claire Raposo. There's often a line out the door to get one of Raposo's Pain au Chocolats, macarons, or specialty cupcakes, but if you don't have a sweet tooth, there are also baguette sandwiches.
This Spring Street staple is equal parts market, bakery, and sandwich shop and is often filled with Williams College students grabbing lunch, a homemade cookie, or a few dorm room staples. The tight shop offers little space to stay and eat, but is filled to the brim with delicious-smelling pastries, desserts, and smiling students behind the cash register.
Taco lovers adored this local Mexican food truck so much, the owners had no choice but to open a dine-in option. This is a bare-bones establishment with friendly staff, quick service and delicious breakfast and lunch options; check their Facebook page for daily specials.
After doing some shopping along Spring Street, stop in for a pick-me-up of freshly brewed drip coffee, espresso, or tea and one of the many delicious baked goods made on-site. During the summer, you're sure to bump into famous actors in between rehearsals stopping by for specialty coffee reminiscent of what they'd get in Manhattan.
