Had the pleasure of grabbing a quick dinner here after visiting BCP next door. Very friendly owners and chef. Food was super tasty, and the chef even sent us a special app! Try the claypot, it was exquisite! We will be back again!

The food was delicious (noodle bowl with lemongrass chicken was fantastic)! We ordered French toast for the table and that was the perfect move. The staff are amazing and the owner is so kind! Rearrange your life to go to their monthly drag brunch. So fun!

Wonderful Vietnamese food - not just the best in Berkshire County, which is a low bar - but would be among the best on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where we are during the week. And great coffee and breakfast pastries from the terrific Scratch Bakery. What more could you ask for? What a great surprise.

First time visiting and really enjoyed it. Went for brunch. It was steady busy on a Sunday morning, but not crowded. The staff and owner were more than attentive. The food was SO good. I was happy they had dairy free options. Definitely going to try dinner next time I am in town.

This newly opened cafe/restaurant offers a delightful atmosphere and a diverse menu with something for everyone. I highly recommend their Americano – it was truly excellent, surpassing many others I've had. I also sampled a pistachio croissant, which had a lovely soft and chewy texture, though the pistachio flavor was a bit subtle. Beyond the delicious food and drinks, this spot boasts ample parking and very reasonable prices. The outdoor seating area provides a beautiful view, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your meal. Whether you're looking for a leisurely brunch or a quick coffee break, this cafe is definitely worth a visit.

This place is THE place! I’ve been more than a handful of times and it’s a 10/10 every time. I highly recommend attending Tu’s Vietnamese night on Tuesdays for a special treat. Both Will and Tu create magic every day they are open. Whether it is the flavorful broths, perfect bowls, delicious bao, or any breakfast dish…you will not be disappointed. The coffee is impeccable! In a time where it matters where you spend your money, we want a partner in our community. An establishment that pays living wages, offers internships, and always shows up for their community. We are lucky to have such a gem.

Exceptional experience all around! We came in as a large group, and while the restaurant was already bustling with activity, things moved quickly to get us our coffees and food. Service was friendly and efficient, and my dirty chai was delicious without being overly sweet! Every dish we ate was delicious and filling. I had the breakfast shakshuka, which came out quickly and not in a traditional preparation, but the flavors were spot on and the portion hearty. I couldn’t decide between the fried breakfast potatoes or cheesy grits, so went with both which was the right call. The potatoes had the ideal crunch and the grits were both unique and comfortingly familiar. My friend had the harvest bowl, which was a beautiful combination of ingredients that worked well together in every bite. They also had a lovely selection of pastries and bagels that I will definitely be returning to sample. The space is also very cool, a modern industrial feel that wouldn’t be out of place on a bustling corner in Brooklyn, and other cool businesses to browse while you digest.This spot is definitely the highlight of all the culinary experiences that we have had in this region, and we can’t wait to come back!

Came here for a girl's weekend with a party of 9 for lunch. Tu was incredibly communicative and kind when our party changed booking date and time. The food itself is authentic, fresh, deeply flavorful and nourishing. I can't wait to find myself back at State soon!
