Thanks to a May, 2015 article in the NY Times, I stopped in Great Barrington. This is a small town in the Berkshires south of Lenox and Stockbridge. It has a charming downtown area with a number of boutiques and restaurants along Main St. and Railroad St.

Patisserie Lenox: I really enjoyed their Hudson, NY location for lunch. This is an equally attractive shop at 313 Main St. in Great Barrington. They have lovely pastries and tarts plus serve coffee, tea and lunch and breakfast items.
