Stopped in for a quick bite while strolling Hudson. Excellent pastries. If you like Mille-Feuille, you'll enjoy theirs.

I'm a frequent customer at the Hudson location and a first (and last) time customer today at the Great Barrington location. Much different and unpleasant experience... I ordered pancakes and an English Breakfast tea and my mother ordered an egg sandwich with poached eggs and an English Breakfast tea. They gave us both Earl Grey yet insisted it was English Breakfast while being quite rude. They are two very different flavors but no point in arguing. Then they brought our food and after a very long time, the restaurant was not busy. They brought out pancakes and poached eggs. When we asked the server where the rest of the order was she said that they forgot about our order all while being very rude and acting like it was our fault. Then when they brought out of the rest of my mother's order the potatoes au gratin were literally frozen solid right out of the freezer. When we let the server know, again, we were met with an attitude. She then proceeded to complain about us right in front of us to another coworker as if we cannot hear what she's saying through her mask. She then came over to the table and said she didn't want to "deal with this anymore" and was refunding us which I appreciated. What I didn't appreciate was her attitude and blaming the customer for doing absolutely nothing wrong. That being said, the food is great. Just avoid the Great Barrington location.

The service was very slow and disorganized. The pastry and breakfast sandwich were average. Would not go there again.

I was virtually outside and called tp ask what soups. I got someone and told her I would be right there and wanted pea soup The person at register was so nice OPPOSITE OF THis rude person who gave me a lecture and about not paying in advance. I was literally 3 minutes away when I called One time thing she lectured as I paid around10dollars for take out soup I'm over this place. There are wonderful places in Hudson with nice people. I hope she owns it as she with her nasty attitude should not be in a service business....,,

The best French pastry!

Their desserts are to die for. If I could, I would eat them all. If you're looking for an amazing dessert restaurant, this is the one. They serve breakfast and lunch as well. They have outdoors and indoor seating which makes it lovely depending on the weather! A must try if you're in the Hudson area. You certainly will not regret it. Staff was very polite and professional.
Ran down Main Street with my 3 kiddos because they were excited for treats. Entered at 4:29 thinking we made it in time and the ladies wouldn’t sell us anything in the case because they closed at 4:30. Already paid guests dining outside has their tables taken away so they could close up. Can’t give testament to the actual pastry but the customer service is definitely lacking. Made it hard to support local.

If you want poor service and bad food, this is the spot for you. The soups were tasteless, and the sandwiches are minimal. No salad dressing on the salads. Additionally, they forgot to order one sandwich, and when this was brought to their attention, it took the kitchen more than a half an hour to prepare the missing sandwich--no apologies from the staff or any other consideration.

Nice place. Very rude server on duty this afternoon, Monday. From the "customer is always an idiot" school of hospitality. Rude to us and other customers. Will not be back.

They have the fanciest name, the highest prices and the least competent baristas. What's hard to understand about "less milk"! That being said the pastry is upscale and decadent. Good vibe? No. Good service? No.

Stopped in today for lunch (Great Barrington location). Two girls were "working" (aka laughing, goofing off and ignoring customers)... it was so awkward to be ignored when you walk into a cafe and no one greets you when you've been standing at the counter/staring at the menu for over 10 minutes. I wasn't even mad at being ignored I was more uncomfortable. When one of the employees finally acknowledged me, she was pretty rude and short with me. I felt like she was mad at me for being in the cafe/wanting to order. Bizarre. Anyway, I ordered an iced Americano (which was good!) and the broccoli and cheddar quiche w/ a side salad. The food was bland- the quiche had no flavor and the salad barely had any dressing on it. They have a bunch of baked goods that LOOKED so amazing, so my mom and I picked out 7 different pastries to take home. Unfortunately, they didn't taste half as good as they looked. They were dry, hard and "chewy" - as my dad put it. It's clear this bakery/cafe doesn't bake anything in house and nothing is fresh.
