Pleasant and Main Cafe General Store

Different. Unique variety of menu options. The crepe dishes are a delicious and unusual option but after trying the ratatouille and pot pie crepes, it was clear to see why they’re on the menu. Very friendly service and one of a kind atmosphere. Put it in your gps because it is very easy to drive right past. Worth the stop.

What a pleasant surprise. The Farmers Market Omelet was absolutely delish served with home fried potatoes and mixed green vegetable salad. Yummy. As much as I would love to try something different on this menu, I will have a hard time not ordering the Farmers Market omelet again. Unique atmosphere, perfect place to have a breakfast/lunch and browse throughout the place to see lots of lovely antiques. Nice casual country atmosphere. Loved it.

We loved it. Went to the Berkshires for a weekend away. Such a cute store/restaurant. Everything there is for sale. Very nice waitress. Pretty setting. Everywhere you look there is something interesting. Nice menu and the food is tasty and nicely prepared.

Despite having just closed up the kitchen to prepare for a big wedding, the owner Craig seated us, turned the grills back on, and made us a lovely and delicious quick meal. We got to chatting about being New Yorkers (where Craig used to live and ran a restaurant in the West Village.) The space he’s made is so charming and a testament to his spirit as a creative. Despite our protest, he comped our meal and even gave us a bag of juicy organic peaches, plums, and apples from an abandoned orchard.

Craig is an absolute gem of a human, he’s so incredibly generous and kind. I hope you’ll give Pleasant and Main a try to get a taste of his delicious food and experience his hospitality.

Thank you, Craig!

Absolute hidden gem!!! We found this place after hiking up to Monument Mountain for sunrise one morning. Got there at opening time and ordered the peach pancakes, as well as the ham and cheese quiche (per recommendation). The Owner was beyond hospitable, and brought us out croissants and blueberry muffins straight out of the oven to try. He closed his café in New York over a decade ago and moved to the birkshires to start this gem of an operation. The aesthetic and atmosphere of this place makes you feel like you’ve been taken to a time capsule in 19th century Europe. So much natural light coming through the windows, and the café latte and Americano was out of this world! Would come back in a heart beat. 10/10 surpassed expectations ??

They wouldn’t seat us inside because we had a toddler and a baby. She said immediately when we walked in - you can sit outside. I said “it’s too sunny” and she said I have a big party, but there were tons of tables available. I believe they were just not welcoming of families.

It is worth the drive

Amazing discovery in Housatonic - great food and one of the most unique dining spaces we’ve ever experienced! Chef Craig is a charming host and his food is delicious. We enjoyed our lunch and went back the next day for a fabulous breakfast. Well worth the journey!
