I drove by this place three times before I found it. It's tucked into a small set of five store fronts, at the end next to a fence. I made the trek to Pittfield because I was trying to find a genuine German stollen for my dad for Christmas, and lo and behold, here was a place nearby! This place is a real old fashioned bakery with donuts and pies and cookies. I did notice some bread but didn't examine it closely - it looked to be rolls of the soft-crusted variety. Besides the stollen (which the helpful counter lady told me could keep up to a month after it's opened, and up to a year if frozen - !!), I bought a chocolate cake donut which looked and smelled delicious but was rather dry and uninspiring - a disappointment. I will report back on the stollen after Christmas!
