STATE Food + Drink

This place is THE place! I’ve been more than a handful of times and it’s a 10/10 every time. I highly recommend attending Tu’s Vietnamese night on Tuesdays for a special treat. Both Will and Tu create magic every day they are open. Whether it is the flavorful broths, perfect bowls, delicious bao, or any breakfast dish…you will not be disappointed. The coffee is impeccable! In a time where it matters where you spend your money, we want a partner in our community. An establishment that pays living wages, offers internships, and always shows up for their community. We are lucky to have such a gem.

This newly opened cafe/restaurant offers a delightful atmosphere and a diverse menu with something for everyone. I highly recommend their Americano – it was truly excellent, surpassing many others I've had. I also sampled a pistachio croissant, which had a lovely soft and chewy texture, though the pistachio flavor was a bit subtle. Beyond the delicious food and drinks, this spot boasts ample parking and very reasonable prices. The outdoor seating area provides a beautiful view, making it a perfect place to relax and enjoy your meal. Whether you're looking for a leisurely brunch or a quick coffee break, this cafe is definitely worth a visit.

Exceptional experience all around! We came in as a large group, and while the restaurant was already bustling with activity, things moved quickly to get us our coffees and food. Service was friendly and efficient, and my dirty chai was delicious without being overly sweet! Every dish we ate was delicious and filling. I had the breakfast shakshuka, which came out quickly and not in a traditional preparation, but the flavors were spot on and the portion hearty. I couldn’t decide between the fried breakfast potatoes or cheesy grits, so went with both which was the right call. The potatoes had the ideal crunch and the grits were both unique and comfortingly familiar. My friend had the harvest bowl, which was a beautiful combination of ingredients that worked well together in every bite. They also had a lovely selection of pastries and bagels that I will definitely be returning to sample. The space is also very cool, a modern industrial feel that wouldn’t be out of place on a bustling corner in Brooklyn, and other cool businesses to browse while you digest.This spot is definitely the highlight of all the culinary experiences that we have had in this region, and we can’t wait to come back!

Personally, I’ve only been for breakfast. I’ve heard it’s better for dinner. I sure hope so because I left feeling unsatisfied by the measly yogurt parfait that I ordered. Perhaps the shakshuka that someone else in my group ordered would have been better. Service is kind of slow but fine. On the whole, wouldn’t come back again.

We really wanted to support this place! The items on the menu are ambiguous. I ordered a bowl and it came as a cold green salad with an egg on it. I was going to just suck it up and eat it, but as I was eating it, I liked it less than less. The server never came back to see how things were. We had empty water glasses. She finally came back and left us the check and we asked the question About the item on the menu. She got the chef to come out and he was very argumentative with us. Asking why we waited so long to complain about it. We told him that the server never came back. Never filled our water glasses either. He continued to challenge us… Why did you eat the potatoes? Really a humiliating experience. We had asked to get a burrito instead and waited a solid 20-30 minutes and it never came even though the server said it should be out in a few minutes. Finally, after 30 minutes, she came back out again and said do you still want the burrito? We said oh my God we ordered it a half an hour ago. They said they could still make it for us. We opted to leave. Bummer. Note: they did take 50% off but I left hungry and needed to go to another restaurant

Wonderful Vietnamese food - not just the best in Berkshire County, which is a low bar - but would be among the best on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where we are during the week. And great coffee and breakfast pastries from the terrific Scratch Bakery. What more could you ask for? What a great surprise.

First....spent a few moments talking to the owner Tu Le post meal. My wife and I sat at the bar and watched an amazing dance of preparation occur. Our food was on BBQ night and was absolutely amazing....think New Orleans in North Adams....after speaking to Tu, we can only compare him to Alan Wong, a brilliant creative chef in Hawaii. Tu gave off the same vibe and his absolute care to his product truly shows...food without this type of love is just food and Tu and his best friend Chef ( that I forgot his name because I am old) really hit it out of the park with each bite taken. If you desire 5 star food in a cool funky loft environment with energetic background musical ambiance, then get your tush to State in North Adams....you wont be sorry. Trust us, we are high maintenance 😄

First time visiting and really enjoyed it. Went for brunch. It was steady busy on a Sunday morning, but not crowded. The staff and owner were more than attentive. The food was SO good. I was happy they had dairy free options. Definitely going to try dinner next time I am in town.

What a great restaurant! Today we had lunch there about an hour before closing time, we were welcomed with smiles & a wonderful lunch. I had the Banh Mi sandwich with Chicken which was packed with flavor with a side of Chips. Would definitely try them for dinner if we weren't already headed for home.

A very special place with great food, friendly service... Clearly a labor of love. We enjoyed every bite of chef te's Vietnamese menu the buns are the best we've had, the vegan bowls, unique and extremely tasty. Can't wait to go back.

Found this spot on a whim after visiting Mass MOCHA and it was delightful. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I also love the design!! So beautiful!

Food was great, service attentive and friendly, atmosphere neat, and prices were reasonable. Chef came to our table to chat. Sons are sensitive to gluten, chef's husband is a celiac, so all food allergies, gluten etc are marked on menu and can be addressed. Highly recommend!

The food was absolutely amazing! We tried the Cowpoke and Breakfast Burrito, and both did not disappoint. Super cool vibe too! All of the staff were also very friendly and helpful!

STATE is one of the many hidden gems you will find at Greylock Works! Joyful staff usher you into a mindfully curated menu, prepared with love! Food as medicine for the soul! Safe space and a welcome escape in these challenging times! A huge thank you to Tu and his exceptional team for bringing the light to our community!

My experience today was so disappointing that I had to leave a review. My family went for brunch/lunch. None of us were super happy with the food, but I was especially disappointed in both the food and the service/response to my dissatisfaction. I ordered 'nova lox plate with bagel, a shmear of dill lemon crema, and pickled onions--those were the words on the menu, and my expectations accordingly. Instead I got a plate with a bagel (thumbs up!) a dollop of crema sauce in a little puddle on the plate, and a small pile of shredded baked salmon--not nova, not lox, not smoked salmon (though they did claim it was their special in house smoked salmon). I sent it back as not at all what I expected or wanted. That would have been fine and the end of it, I wasn't upset just disappointed with what they sent out. However, then the chef/owner came over to defensively, passive aggressively, and frankly quite rudely tell me that this is how they make it. Ok. That's fine but I don't want it and it's not what they describe on the menu--no need to argue about it. They offered a refund which I gladly accepted. It didn't end there. Another round of defensive justifications came our way with a second table visit. Unnecessary and aggravating. On the way out, the chef passive aggressively muttered under his breath as I walked out about that is how they make it here and something I didn't catch--unbelievable lack of hospitality, brittle and hostile reaction. Sadly it didn't end there, as on checking the refund wasn't on our card, so back we went--I believe them when they said it would show up at the end of day when they run their charges through, but did want a receipt regardless. I really didn't want to fight or further discuss it, but once again the chef wanted to argue that he is right on this--again rudely and hostile defensiveness. Completely unnecessary and unacceptable. On my way out, he shouted that we were not welcome back--as if we had any intention of ever returning after that series of offensive behaviors from him. But at least on that we were in agreement, there will never be an enticement that would ever bring me back to this horrible restaurant and to give money to that horrid man. It's sad, as the Break Room was delicious and inviting, and we love supporting local businesses and restaurants--but that place is a solid no, never again.
