Bread Euphoria

In spite of the name, bread isn’t the main attraction here. Pastries are, especially the croissants with familiar and imaginative fillings (mine was stuffed with wild mushrooms and local goat cheese). You can get a cup of coffee and linger with your laptop at the big long tables as many locals do. If you’re still here at lunchtime, try the giant slices of pizza.
As to the breads, they’re mostly sandwich style loaves which you’ll see behind the register. They’ll slice it if you ask. I purchased the olive which was pleasant though not particularly olive-​y.
By the way, this establishment is in the front of a large building which has housed a pottery studio for many years. Sadly, the weekend I was there (December 2015) was the potter’s last weekend before retiring. I wish him well and it will be interesting to see what moves into the space because it will certainly affect the character of the café.

Family and friends met at the Bread Euphoria the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The location is really nice and Western Massachusetts chilling. We were leaving for DC after dinner and wanted to touch base with Family before a long drive. The setting had everyone chatting. The sandwiches were great and the wait staff was perfect. Although we drive by when ever home, we have not had an opportunity to stop. It was just really good music and the accommodated 14 of us by moving things around. I highly recommend and will return on our next trip back to WMass.

Bread Euphoria is the one of the best kept secrets in the Valley.
But seriously.
Tasty breads and pastries, as one might expect. But also:
— Awesome breakfast sandwiches!
— Local beer on tap!
— Great soups, salads, and HEAVENLY quiche!
— Cool vibe! Live music sometimes!
— Easy parking!
— Friendly staff!
— (I saved the best for last…) THE BEST PIZZA EVARRRR.
The pastries and breakfasty stuff is super good, but the pizza is what brought it to «euphoria» level for me. That prosciutto pizza… is actually euphoric.
Just go there. Go for breakfast, go for a beer and pastry after a long day, pick up a pizza for you and bae, or stop in for lunch. You won’t be sorry!

A bit of an eclectic ramshackle, with a bakery/​eating space fronting a pottery operation, this is a decent stop for a unique sandwich, salad or pastry, with a nice selection of breads to boot. A perfect fit for the Berkshires.

Oh my holy god!
We stopped by here this morning. I
was having a tough time waking up. I walked in the door and told the short haired woman that I needed a strong cup of coffee. I am wickedly picky about the coffee that I drink. She said that she would make me a cup of their regular coffee with s shot of espresso in it. It was the best coffee that I have ever had. Thank you dark haired lady!!!
I also had the cheddar scone. It was 100 times better than I thought it would be. I would move out here just to be closer to this wonderfully refreshing bakery!

Close to ‘Hamp but far away enough that you don’t deal with the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. This place is a very well kept secret. It offers something for every palate at reasonable prices in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Very laid back dining area (bus your own dishes) with a lovely view of the fields and woods by Beaver brook. The bread is AMAZING! I had a hummus sandwich that was wonderful and my guest has a pannini that made me drool like Homer Simpson and want to get one except I was too full! And don’t get me started on the baked goods! Simply swoonworthy! I had a lemon square that was hands down, THE BEST I HAVE EVER EATEN (yes, I have to shout this out, it was THAT good!) Awesome staff here too!

Just exquisite. From salads to sandwiches and pastries to pizzas, you can’t go wrong. And OMG the eclairs.

Came here because they were listed on findmeglutenfree, com. Walked in, looked at the gluten free options on display. They were on the second shelf with normal flour options above. I figured if they didn’t even know this simple aspect of gluten safety (the crumbs from gluten products can fall down during handling on the gf products below), then I can’t trust what they are doing in the kitchen either. Therefore, if you are eating gluten free for allergy reasons, don’t eat here.

I stopped in for coffee the other morning and realized I had never reviewed this place. You really can’t go wrong with this place. The food is consistently good, the counter help is consistently pleasant, and the coffee is strong!
It is counter service and nice wooden tables with plenty of windows and light. They have free wifi if you need that and people do bring laptops and hang out though you shouldn’t expect it to be terribly quiet. Dinner service is waited but otherwise it is counter service.
I have bought the kalamata olive bread from here for years — stupendous. They have an excellent array of breakfast pastries including wonderful chocolate croissants. There isn’t a huge selection for dinner but the pizza is good and the quiche is often very interesting and tasty. Like another reviewer, I wasn’t a fan of the turkey they use for the reuben.
I will say that some of the prices feel a bit high (especially for dinner) — not terrible, just no bargains here. They do have music some nights but I’ve never been to that. They have their own parking lot and when you’re considering going to Northampton for dinner that becomes a consideration. If you want an easy in and out, you can get that here. Or you can linger.
Stop in for breakfast pastries or an egg sandwich and don’t forget a loaf of bread!

Delicious egg and cheese on biscuit ! Scones a wow! Comfy, nice people, wifi. Will be back!

A great little bakery to stop in on your way to and from Notchview Nordic ski area or any of the hill towns. We stopped after a day of cross country skiing– we were famished!
By the time we arrived (after 3PM) the pickin’s were slim, so I’d recommend coming earlier in the day for the best selection.
I opted for a goat cheese and wild mushroom croissant ($ 4+) and a loaf of olive bread ($ 5), while my BF’s cousin got a goat cheese and wild mushroom croissant and a ham and cheese croissant. Altogether, things cost about $ 19 for take away.
The croissant was fantastic: underwhelming as to the amount of filling, but the flavor was spot on. Would have been better warmed. The olive loaf was almost consumed in it’s entirety that night for dinner. We found it’s best sliced and then toasted, with salted butter on top.
This is definitely going to be «The Place» to stop when we ski on the weekends, but at $ 4+ a croissant (quite high for a small snack), it may just be for a loaf of artisanal bread.

Such a hidden gem! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and the bread is amazing. I got the turkey reuben and I wasn’t really a fan of the turkey they used but I think that was just personal preference. Definitely will stop by again for a sandwich or to pick up a loaf of organic bread :)

The food was outstanding! We got the roasted tomato pizza with sausage and a turkey bacon sandwich with a side salad. The salad had a really delicious maple balsamic dressing too. The pizza is one of my favorites and has a foccacia-​like crust. The place is really cute and relaxing too… I would visit a lot if I lived in the area!

This is my go to place whenever I am within a 15 mike radius of haydenville. To sum if up everything is fresh, seasoned, and beyond delicious. My personal recommendations/​must haves:
BLT
Quiche
Pizza (especially the special slices)
Fruit and cheese Danish
Baguette
Hummus plate
Any salad with their maple balsamic dressing
Oh and the mushroom and goat cheese croissants… I could keep going!

Really cute place, great service, nice atmosphere, large and spacious great for studying or hanging out. Only problem is that it is absurdly expensive! it was over 7 dollars for a latte and coffee. Wow!

This bakery is one of the true gems of the Pioneer Valley. No trip through the area is complete without a stop here. The pastries are fantastic. The sandwiches are of generous proportion and homemade chips are the cherry on top. If you are just passing through the area, stop in and grab something, anything and you will not be disappointed.
4 out of 5 stars, as the only issue is that service is a little slow, especially when busy, and it seems like the employees don’t particularly enjoy working together as I typically hear gripping behind the scenes which is very noticeable to customers. I’d still stop in anytime though.

Superlative bread, pastries, pizza, and all. This place is a gem. Really deserves to be called artisan. Delicious!!!

I am basing my review only on the breads I have eaten from here. I have not gone to eat any of the actual food though when I have been inside the food menus make my mouth water. The breads are phenomenal. I have loved every one I have eaten from there. I especially recently loved the Olive bread, which I am sure has a fancier name. It was delicious. I love the undertaste of sourdough in all the breads. It is a great little addition to my hometown and I hope they are around for years to come.

My first visit to Bread Euphoria featured some of the best pizza I’ve had in the Valley (a mushroom & carmelized onion pie with sausage added), a superfresh & flavorful mesclun greens salad, & a really nice hard cider. Truly yummy, & the feel of the space was great at sunset. I’m looking forward to returning & trying out other options.

This out of the way restaurant really wants to be good; and comes so close. But with $ 8.50 prices for turkey salad sandwiches with coleslaw, I don’t see it happening… yet. Earthy-​crunchy atmosphere and so-​so friendly staff, and bus-​it-​yourself dining doesn’t help their cause.
So, if you REALLY have the munchies on the road between Florence and Williamsburg, MA., then give it a try. However I agree with others here that with the much better Side Street café in Florence just minutes away; those cravings would have to be pretty serious to want to bother and try and find the driveway for this place.
