Tunnel City Coffee

Strong, delicious coffee, great espresso drinks, delightful teas. Their baked good can be hit or miss. A wonderful place to chill, if you can find a place to sit. Fantastic service!

Had a simple latte. It was excellent. Egg bagel was pretty good (skip the raspberry doughnut...not so much). Long line and I can see why based on how good the coffee is.

Nice, comfortable place with seating outside under the awning. Yummy little cakes, good latte, polite people. Internet. Croissants!

Tried both their dark and light roasts. Both were very good. Also indulged in one of their personal sized cakes - raspberry lemon cake - sooo good!

Cool location on the main road in town. Lots of out door covid safe seating. My cold brew was tasty. I purchased some beans which had a great floral flavor which had been roasted a week prior to purchase. It’s great to go to a coffee shop that has fresh roasted coffee. Check them out.

Busy coffee shop. Variety of baked goods. Arrived close to closing time. Staff were sweet and generous. Told us they would be closing in a few minutes and suggested to us that we could go across the street to the coffee shop in the new William's College bookshop (which is a Tunnel Cafe too.). The bookshop cafe is very modern, chock full of books, and open until 9 p.m.

Tunnel City is essential to Williamstown. An impressive array of baked goods, coffees, and teas served and prepared by a friendly and knowledgeable staff who are all blessed admirable senses of humor.

I am glad that the owner, an affable man, upholds a policy of “no bare feet” as is common in most restaurants. The idiotic review on here by a barefoot man who felt hurt that he was asked to leave is exactly the sort of thing one would expect to find on the social media, especially in an age of fragility and the will to be a victim.

I always enter coffee shops and, actually, everywhere with shoes as is my practice. And I am glad of establishments such as this one that still uphold vestiges of civilization.

Best coffee ever ! I will add thirty minutes to my commute when I’m traveling just to get some. The flat whites are just the best. Quality of the bean will spoil you for other coffee shops. If you are a coffee aficionado you must try this spot!

This is a great coffee shop that also has lots of food offerings. It’s right downtown so you can grab a drink and walk around or enjoy a seat outside on their large patio.

Wonderful coffee and staff that make you feel welcome. Thank you Simon for making yummy cup of joe! Great indoor and outdoor seating! Located across the street from Williams Inn and Weston Field

Not just great coffee....
As evidenced by my pic below, I sampled their Raspberry Corn muffin. Practically perfect in every way.

Design of the building, many choices...many tables and chairs...all students working...reading books...very nice atmosphere...the dark roast coffee is very good, also biscuits, and egg cheese sandwich

Always love to come here when we are in town. So nice sitting outside with coffee on Spring St.

If I was on death row, I'd request a lemon bar from here as my last meal. It's that good. Good is not the right word. It was the best thing I've ever eaten. I'm smiling just thinking about it....

Perfect espresso drinks located in the heart of town. Friendly and inviting.

Great service and coffee/bagels. Love working here

The BEST coffee shop I've ever been to! My fiancé and I are coffee lovers and we like to go around trying different places. Once we found this place we haven't been anywhere else! We live in NY about 30 minutes away but boy do I wish we lived closer! We drive here every weekend just to get a coffee. I always get an iced mocha and it never disappoints. Their baked goods are also heavenly! One of the best carrot cakes we've ever had! Also had a quiche, delicious! Perfectly cooked with broiled cheese on top to top it off. Thei everything bagel is the perfect amount of everything seasoning and even has oats which I find to be a nice touch. I would highly recommend this place! 🙂

This is not my first review of Tunnel City, a nice coffee house which serves uniformly excellent espresso.

I first came here probably in 2005. I don't come often because I live in the Boston area, but I often come when I'm driving between my house and that of a close friend outside of Albany, NY (I take the backroads because they only take about an hour longer, and it actually feels much shorter because the scenery is so much more interesting and the driving so much more fun).

Tunnel City has the most reliably good espresso of any establishment I've frequented. Their espresso has always put a big smile on my face, and kept it there while I nursed the latte for at least an hour. (Today I made the latte last all the way home, a distance of 125 miles, despite the numerous times I stopped to take photos in the Pioneer Valley, as well as once for a walk with my dog.) I can't think of another coffee house that has been so consistently excellent.

They also can make the lattes with oat milk. That's good because oat milk allows me to keep drinking the espresso despite reflux, unlike regular milk.

Additionally, the people who work there have been uniformly nice and welcoming. Today, they even gave my dog some water. If I lived in or near Williamstown, I'm sure I'd hang out there regularly.

Excellent atmosphere, free wifi, tables both in and out. Stay as long as you like. Other than the constant state of construction surrounding this place due to expansion and renovation work at Williams College, this is a wonderful spot. Clean and orderly with excellent service. A nice place to while away an afternoon or to grab a quick cup of your favorite beverage and a decadent treat.

Excellent coffee and wonderful muffins, they have a daily special muffin. They need to add their own wifi, I found the wifi signal from nearby Williams College to be too weak.
