“Great market with a unique array of foods. It's our favorite stop on the way to The Clark. The baked goods are fantastic, but so are all the little packaged goodies from indie brands. And the produce never disappoints. In the summer time, we're known for grabbing a pint of raspberries to snack on during the ride. Highly recommend popping in and stuffing yourself silly! The folks are always super kind and warm as well!”
“Exceeded expectations for sure…we had the Nic Griddle sandwich and the corned beef hash and eggs, and both were fantastic. What might seem like a basic diner place takes extra pride in its food. The corned beef hash was diced fine with peppers added, the hollandaise was unique in a great way, and my wife loved the maple flavored muffin for the Nic Griddle. We will be back for sure!”
“This is a great local market that truly has it figured out! Really fresh and hand picked produce, and the prepared foods are to die for! As you might expect, higher prices, but supporting a business like this one is worth it. If you're in the Berkshires, try and stop in! Grab some prepared foods for a hike and enjoy!”
“This place is unreal. It has everything we need as a family that eats high quality food -> Organic and gluten free. We go to the Oak & Spruce resort right down the road often, and we used to buy groceries from Whole Foods in Albany. We didn't realize this gem of a store has literally EVERYTHING WE NEED and more. From grass fed beef, to organic chicken tendies, and a mountain of healthy snack options. In fact, in some ways, it almost doesn't make sense that such a high quality store is out here in the middle of nowhere... BUT I AM GLAD IT IS!!!”

“I had a lobster roll unlike any other (and I'm a lobster roll fanatic) it was practically solid lobster tail slightly cut up. Average price, gigantic value.
Now I'm annoyed I didn't get the lobster bisque as well. It smelled incredible, but foolishly I didn't want to over do. That was a mistake ...”
“This is hands down my favorite store in all the Berkshires. Isabel and Bernie took a good store and, over the past three years, made it iconic. Step by step they modernized it, reimagined the offerings, staffed it with a wonderful team.When most of us were staying home during the pandemic years, they showed up every day, demonstrating to the community that when you are essential, and food certainly is, you serve even at your own peril. Thank you.Contrast it to what we typically find now in the food deserts we call our small towns. At the local "marts" you'll find highly processed foods that are terrible for you. Here, at Loeb's, you can delight in local breads, fresh meats, sandwiches made with love, organic vegetables, food staples that are good for you. All at prices that are reasonable! Who knew it was possible. Bernie, Isabel, all I want for Christmas is for every small town in America to have a store, and store owners, with your vision and dedication to the hard work of being the best you can be. Keep it up. You make the challenge of greatness look so simple when in reality it is an art form.”
“What great country store. Lots of unique food items and dozens of bulk items like spices and candy. Sandwiches, homemade goods, and yup garden tools and lightbulbs...worth a visit even if just passing through town.”
“Authentic Brazilian market in all ways. Food and drinks of high quality coming all the way from Brazil and giving you the chance go remember your homeland, for such a nice price. This place has been a heaven for me, since I came to this the Berkshires, and I believe any brazilian or person interested to know or use ingredients or elements of Brazilian cuisine can highly benefit of this place! 5 stars, no doubt!”

“Amart is the best place to go!! We live near by & go many times a day for all our needs. Every worker is so awesome & they have amazing food at the deli & sides. I could go to any place in town, but we always choose the best AMART”
“A great little store for the most part - a bit overpriced, but not egregiously so. They have a good selection of dry goods, frozen dinners, produce, etc. and the staff are always quite friendly and helpful. They also host some great community events.It loses some points because it's not actually a co-op in the traditional sense - it's owned by anyone in the community who can pay enough to become an "owner," not by the employees.Also, the cafe and hot bar are ludicrously overpriced and chronically understaffed, and lately the hours have been unpredictable. From what I understand the "owners" have decided that the cafe should be run by one or two people max, leading to long wait times and poor service. The staff are fantastic, but these days I mostly stick to their great selection of premade foods in the cooler.”
“Kudos to the bakery department. I purchased a full sheet cake for a birthday party and the guest were surprised that I got it at Big Y. They loved it and said if they wanted a cake in the near future, then they would have Big Y make it!!! Nice job as always ??”

“It's a big store, like really big. Prices don't seem competitive at all. But, it might be only on the items that I would normally buy. Best roasted chicken around the area. Great selection of deli and at normal prices. Produce seems way overpriced compared to Market 32 and crazy overpriced compared to Aldi.”
“They always have what I need. Everyone is great. Love that Bonnie takes the time to catch things about what i purchased if it's seems not right. Class i especially was grateful she checked them. Customer service is supreme. Love my pharmacy.”

“Super small market but carries an amazing selection of Hispanic food. I was amazed by the different things I found and loved that I found some of the Venezuelan staples (I stocked up).”
“Interesting mix of products. I'm not sure how to use a lot of them but I can't wait to try them! They carry actual yams here and I've never seen them anywhere else in the Berkshires.”
“The Main Street Cafe entrance is inside the general store. We ate in the cafe. They had a large selection of sandwiches and wraps, and some special desserts. We enjoyed our sandwiches and got pumpkin bread pudding to take home.”
“The store is remodeled, and the lighting is way better...BUT... the Bakery has something really really good. Cider Raisin Bread. Best raisin bread this side of the Netherlands!”
“This food store was perfectly located near our hotel that included a fridge and freezer and microwave. We saved at least a hundred bucks not having to eat out for lunch. In addition, breakfast was included so we were able to afford a few high end restaurants and taverns within Lenox after Tanglewood performances. This store had everything, including hard liquor! Convenient, clean, friendly staff. Plenty of parking. Also, the CVS is in the same lot!”
“Great cheese, breads and spreads but way too much attitude. I wouldn’t mind spending so much if it felt a bit more welcoming. Not paying to feel like I’m wasting their time.”
“The new mgr,there has totally cleaned up the store ,I live near by and go there often and the store has been in bad shape for a long time,I was so surprised to see it looking so good I asked her name and she is the mgr I think it's jessica,I had to tell you because she deserves to know her hard work is noticed in a great way!!!”
“Great small spot to stop on the way to Bousquet Mtn ! or if your staying down in Lee just a short trip for a great sandwich. friendly staff younger women at the front especially. ( i was the green shirt guy if you see this) Corey.”
