On a Roll Cafe

Print Story | Email Story

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.”

<L2>On a Roll Cafe’s breakfast menu offers the standard hearty “two eggs any style” with home fries and seven-grain or sourdough toast; add sausage or hash or beef it up with our juicy grilled steak.

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<R3>

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.

Lanesborough ZBA Member Mark Siegars Resigns

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Heated Zoning Board of Appeals meetings, which have already led to two lawsuits against the town, have now resulted in the resignation of a board member.

The board's former chair, Mark Siegars, resigned from his position on Monday, after being removed as chair by the Select Board for his conduct a month prior, The Berkshire Eagle reported. 

iBerkshires has reached out to the town administrator for confirmation. 

Emotions have run high following contentious ZBA meetings held over the past several months, culminating in both businesses involved filing lawsuits against the town. More information here.
 
The rift started to develop in January during a meeting to determine whether the Lanesborough Local Country Store's sign on its vintage pickup truck violated town bylaws. The board ultimately voted to uphold the building inspector's citation.
 
The meeting resulted in two complaints to the town, following the nearly 40-minute discussion that had short bursts of yelling in between. 
 
The meeting was not recorded by the board or by LCATV and the town requested iBerkshires share its recording to provide the Select Board additional context surrounding the few complaints. 
 
It is not iBerkshires.com's policy to share unpublished recordings or meeting notes. However, iBerkshires.com did write an article outlining the argument.
 
According to The Eagle, all Zoning Board of Appeals meetings will now be recorded to ensure transparency.
