The cozy On a Roll Cafe is conveniently located in the Central Block Building, 75 North St., Pittsfield, serving breakfast and lunch.

Chef and owner David Barile claims his five years of success can be attributed to his extensive mouth-watering menu of freshly made fare.

“We have daily homemade soups from fresh stock, but we go the extra mile by offering house made sourdough bread and bulky rolls, and seven-grain bread. Our pastries, desserts, even our salad dressing, are made on site. Lastly, all of our meats are roasted in-house, and our corned beef hash and sausage are 100 percent made here.”

Try the Eggs Benedict – two eggs poached on a toasted English muffin with ham and hollandaise sauce – or make it Eggs Benedict Florentine by adding spinach and tomato or, for the seafood lover, Smoked Salmon Benedict.

The house specialties include On a Roll’s famous breakfast burrito of scrambled eggs with onion, peppers, tomatoes, scallions and Monterey Jack cheese. Served with sour cream and house-made salsa

Craving pancakes or French toast? Barile offers them topped with butter and pure maple syrup, or seven-grain bread dipped in batter and covered with toasted pecans and coconut and grilled golden brown. On the lighter side, how about house-made granola with seasonal fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt.

The extensive lunch menu includes seven salads. Try the house salad with tabbouleh, chick peas, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions and sprouts on a bed of mesclun and add a scoop of chicken, tuna salad or grilled chicken.

Love pasta? Try the rigatoni with our spicy sausage, onions and peppers in a light tomato broth. On a Roll serves a hand-pressed lean ground beef burger and three specialty burgers, such as our lemon thyme chicken burger made with garlic, lemon and fresh thyme. All burgers are served on a fresh-made sourdough roll with sweet potato fries.
