Tyler and Pine Bakery – donuts and more in the Berkshires

Published on May 28, 2018 By Emily. Updated on May 28, 2018

It took longer to get there than I wanted it to, but Brian and I finally found our way to Tyler and Pine Bakery this weekend.  I’ve been hearing and reading and dreaming about stopping in for months – even purchasing items from the bakery at the Downtown Pittsfield Farmers Market this winter – but it took a three-day weekend to finally get to the storefront.

Though Brian and I don’t really eat donuts on a regular basis, we do often plan our travels around donut shops.  I can’t remember the last new city we visited that didn’t involve prior donut research.  Bakeries aren’t overly common in the Berkshires and I was excited to see what Tyler and Pine had to offer.

When we pulled up to the location (on the corner of Tyler Street and Pine Street, naturally), I was immediately struck by how adorable it was.  I don’t know what I expected, but I could not get over the sweet exterior of the shop.  The interior was equally cute and cozy.

Tyler and Pine has more than just donuts.  We were greeted by a case full of pies, cupcakes and bars, as well as a counter topped with cookies, cinnamon rolls, scones and more bars.  Everything looked delicious, but we were there for the donuts.  Tyler and Pine bakes 8 different flavors each week and we ordered one of each.

On Saturday, the options were cinnamon sugar, Oreo, raspberry pistachio, peanut butter + chocolate covered pretzel, lemon ginger, chocolate frosted, maple bacon and frosted with sprinkles.  As far as I can tell, the donut bases were all the same, with different toppings on each.  They were very light and fluffy, which made it easy for Brian and I to each consume 4 before the end of the day.  All of the toppings were good but I especially loved the lemon which was so fresh and flavorful.

Another nice touch at Tyler and Pine is the free cinnamon-sugar donut holes that are thrown in with each order.  I expected just a few, but we received about a dozen.  They were nice enough to put them in a separate bag to keep allergy-inducing toppings away from the donut holes, which made my daughter very happy.

We find ourselves in Pittsfield just often enough that I’m sure we’ll be finding our way to Tyler and Pine regularly.  You can follow Tyler and Pine on Instagram and Facebook, or read the Berkshire Eagle’s donut taste test.  I’m looking forward to trying more than just donuts next time!

    I have to say I’m excited to see this!! Where my son and his family live, there is a marvelous donut shop called Duck Donuts. You order your donuts with the toppings you want and they make them fresh! Same donut base but lots of different toppings…so good! I’ll be checking this out on my next trip to Pittsfield! Merci!

      I didn’t notice anything when I was there, but I wasn’t really looking with that in mind. I’d definitely contact Tyler and Pine and see what they have!

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.

 @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!
