“In the middle of tiny Bernardston, this is a cute little bakery. They serve excellent drip coffee to go (no cappuccinos or the like). The bakery is first class - we sampled an almond croissant, blueberry scone, a small cupcake and a tiny cheesecake (all much too good). You can see the immaculate bakery at work from the counter through a large glass window. They sell some clothing and local produce like maple syrup as well. Worth a stop.“
“Wow! I am very impressed with the quality of the baking. They have upped their game since first opened. They are at the level of French bakery. My favorite place in Western Mass! The almond croissant and the pistachio chocolate croissant are to die for!“
“Great local market with delicious food. Was in town for a UMASS football game and called ahead to order assorted sandwiches for tailgating. Nikki was so attentive with the order, and even though she was going to be away the day I came to pick up the sandwiches, she made me feel confident that she was personally going to see to it that everything was perfect. And it was! The staff was super friendly when I arrived, everything was ready and prepared beautifully and conveniently - even got help out to my car with the trays. Very reasonably priced for the large assortment of sandwiches we chose - roast beef, turkey, chicken, veggie. Food quality and taste was excellent. Everyone loved them and some very grateful students took the few remaining leftovers we had back to their dorms after the game:) Gotta say the hometown flavor and service at Ciesluk's put me in a great mood - just what you hope to experience in a charming New England town on a fall weekend. Highly recommend!“
“Charming, friendly goodies destination at end of Bridge of Flowers. Best & most novel ice cream in years - raspberry truffle, to die for! Unique non-alcoholic beer - butterscotch, which we are told is just like Harry Potter's butter beer.Oh, yeah, We'll be back!“
“We had breakfast and their omelettes are a real treat. I had a blueberry pancake that filled the plate. Wonderful baked goods! I had a giant peanut butter chocolate chip cookie which was fantastic. Service was excellent. The atmosphere is "updated garage" type feel.“
“We've been a couple of times to Bittersweet Bakery, and our party of three or four have always been happy. Today we came maybe half an hour before they closed, and they were super nice about letting us know that they will be locking the door at closing time while we are there, but we were told that we shouldn't feel rushed. Our food has been excellent every time we've gone. Very fresh ingredients and really nice breakfast sandwiches. I vow to try one of the coffees if I get there earlier in the day ... It's a lovely place with some unusual food and coffees and ... quite frankly ... if we are nice to the behind-the-counter workers, they are always nice to us. Not gonna gripe about the prices (after all, I'm the one who decided to COME TO THIS PLACE) ... all I know is it's a nice place that's a little different from the other places I like for food/coffee in the area. I'm glad they're here, and I seem to have no problem getting along with the people who are working here -- they seem pretty nice to me.“
