Breakfast at Dottie’s Coffee Lounge in Pittsfield

Published on January 12, 2016 By Emily. Updated on January 12, 2016

There are places in the Berkshires that I adore, but somehow have not managed to write about here yet.  How this is possible I’m not sure, but today I’m rectifying one of those instances.

This Saturday was the first time that I managed to get to Dottie’s Coffee Lounge for breakfast, though I’ve stopped there for coffee and tea and baked goods a number of times.  I love their signature drinks and eclectic décor.  Dottie’s is the place that inspired my first attempt at making vanilla syrup for tea.  This weekend, Brian and I found ourselves in Pittsfield early enough to grab breakfast before running a number of errands.

As always, I ordered an Earl Grey tea latte.  For food, I ordered the Berkshire Breakfast Sandwich: egg, cheddar, red onion, spinach and caper pesto.  It wasn’t quite as amazing as I had hoped (I think toast would’ve made a big difference), but I appreciated the volume of spinach on the sandwich and the caper pesto was fantastic.

Brian ordered the Naked Burrito Bowl, which was rice and beans with an egg, cheddar, avocado and Cholula.  He only shared a couple bites with me, but it was fantastic.  I’m already scheming to get back to Dottie’s to have one.  And possibly to try making one myself.

Dottie’s is probably not the cheapest breakfast in town, but the menu has a lot of variety.  They work with a number of local providers for their foods and the restaurant has a really fun vibe.  Brian and I enjoyed watching a range of people while we ate our breakfast – families, young adults and older couples.  I know I’ll be back for more food and tea in the future.  Dottie’s Coffee Lounge is definitely worth checking out if you find yourself in Pittsfield.

We picked about 9 pounds of strawberries and I'm looking forward to eating them! 🍓

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.
UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.
