Surprisingly delicious food and fair prices (bordering on shockingly so in this age of inflation). We went twice - once for snacks at a concert, and once the next morning for breakfast. Mozerella sticks were outstanding; same for quiche and salad (the dressing was homemade and superb). In the morning the family got an assortment of breakfast bowls, quesadillas and burritos. All were excellent; this is good food made by people who care about their ingredients and their product. A rarity these days.

Awesome spot for breakfast. A bit surprised that museum cafe food would be good but it was. We were there for two days and came here both mornings

My go-to spot when I’m in North Adams. I always make sure to stop by Lickety for breakfast or lunch. If ordering breakfast, their blueberry muffin (ask for it grilled) is one of the best I’ve ever had. For lunch, their quiche (which is very cheese heavy style), soup, or burrito is my go-to. Also, can’t forget to mention their ice cream that they make onsite. It’s so much creamier rather than sugary. I compare all ice cream to theirs, they’ve set the standard for me.
