Start Your Day with Real Baking

Fresh baked goods in Williamstown made from scratch daily with family recipes and farm-rooted tradition

Great Falls Bakery brings a New England country feel to Williamstown, where fresh baked goods are prepared from scratch every morning. Andrea leads all recipe development, drawing on a passion for baking that started at age 10 and a childhood spent on a dairy farm. Her husband contributes culinary expertise from fine dining and hotel kitchens, creating a menu that balances tradition with refined technique.

You'll find artisan breads, pastries, and sweets baked each day using methods that honor time and care over shortcuts. Every loaf is hand-shaped, every pastry is rolled and filled on-site, and ingredients are chosen for flavor and consistency. Andrea's farm upbringing influences the approach—quality starts with real butter, fresh eggs, and dough that's given proper time to develop. Whether you're picking up a morning baguette or a tray of sweets for an event, you're getting baking that's rooted in family practice and daily commitment.

Great Falls Bakery serves the active community life of Williamstown, from Williams College events to local tourism and steady foot traffic that values made-from-scratch quality. The Berkshires' strong café culture and nearby MASS MoCA in North Adams create consistent interest in high-quality baked goods. We're here to support that daily rhythm with breads and pastries you can count on.

Family-Run Recipes You Can Trust

Andrea leads every recipe with expertise rooted in farm life and decades of hands-on baking.

What We Bake Daily?

Great Falls Bakery prepares everything on-site each morning, from crusty artisan breads to flaky pastries and layered sweets. You'll taste the difference when dough is mixed, shaped, and baked in-house without relying on mixes or pre-made shortcuts. Andrea's recipes combine farm-rooted intuition with culinary precision, giving each item texture and flavor that hold up through the day.

Our process begins early, with batches timed so breads are cooling and pastries are still warm when the doors open. Scheduling is built around daily demand from Williamstown's college community, local residents, and visitors exploring the Berkshires.

Here's what you'll find baked fresh each day:

• Artisan breads made from quality flour, hand-shaped and baked to a golden crust
• Pastries and sweets layered with real butter and filled with seasonal fruit or rich cream
• Scratch recipes developed by Andrea using techniques learned from childhood and refined over decades
• Daily selection reflecting Williamstown's community rhythm, tourism, and steady local foot traffic

Why We Bake This Way?

Great Falls Bakery is family-run, with Andrea leading every recipe and her husband bringing culinary training from fine dining and hotel kitchens. Andrea's upbringing on a dairy farm taught her that quality comes from patience, real ingredients, and hands-on attention—lessons applied to every batch we bake. Williamstown's active community, shaped by Williams College and local tourism, values that same commitment to craft and consistency.



You'll see it in the texture of a sourdough crust, the lamination of a croissant, and the way flavors develop when dough is given proper time. We're not chasing trends or shortcuts—we're baking the same way Andrea learned as a child, adapted for the rhythm of daily bakery life in the Berkshires.
