Everything you could want or need in a tiny coffee shop either in store or across the car parking lot at Ruby’s.
They have a great selection of chocolate for sale and sampling (I have seen 4+ varieties in the store to sample on multiple occasions) and excellent coffee. There are not an overwhelming number of choices and they span the chocolate range.
The interior is cool but sunny and the décor is comfy and a little chic.
P. S. Once I was incredibly lucky and got an oreo inspired chocolate for free because the chocolate on it had set imperfectly.

Was walking past the Triplex theater and noticed this new business. The owner told us that the store has been open for 3 weeks.
What I immediately liked was the fact that she had sample plates in several areas of the small store offering tasted of some of the surrounding treats. After trying a bit of this and a bit of that, I settled on the «Wandering Star» truffle, which included double chocolate and stout. What a truffle! 100x better than Godiva, and for sure as good or better than similar offerings at the other candy stores around town.
The store itself is elegant with some seating around the small perimeter. My only complaint is that they didn’t have to go coffee cups. I was really in the mood for a cappuccino. This seems to be an easy fix that I’m hoping they will remedy.
While I’m not sure this store will attract the movie crowd next door, I sure hope they «make it» so I can continue to satisfy my truffle fix from time to time.

A lovely addition to Great Barrington. Thoughtful selection of superb truffles, along with many other traditional and inventive chocolates. Doria P., the proprietor, is likely to offer tastes and solicit suggestions on continuing to tweak the sublime flavors.
