Keep reading to discover the perfect ways to fuel your fun during your New England getaway.
The Shipwright’s Daughter
The first stop on our list of best coffee spots in Mystic is located right here on-site at The Shipwright’s Daughter. This farm-to-fork restaurant is well known for its delightful seafood dishes, but they also serve breakfast daily as well as brunch on the weekends. You’ll find more than your typical lattes here. Their baristas also whip up a variety of delicious coffee drinks.
Try their Bee’s Knees Latte, made with espresso, ginger-infused raw honey, and oat milk, or their Golden Latte recipe, with espresso, turmeric, Saigon cinnamon, telecherry, clover honey, and whole milk—and, of course, classic cold brew on tap! It’s the perfect way to round out your breakfast with signature dishes like their flavorful sourdough pancakes and avocado toast.
Sift Bakeshop
Next up is Sift Bakeshop. While they’re known for their scrumptious baked goods (ahem, Adam Young earned the Best Baker in America title on Food Network), their coffee game is just as strong.
You can’t go wrong with their hazelnut, mocha, and toasted almond flavors. While you’re there, add enhancements like their homemade Baileys for an extra kick.
And let’s not forget about their cute and cozy atmosphere – it’s the ideal spot to enjoy a cuppa and a pastry. Be sure to add on one of their delicious croissants or danishes like their classic cheese and guava-it’s a staff favorite! Or go for the “Ebbie”-oche (a cinnamon-laden brioche bun named after Adam’s wife, Ebbie).
Young Buns Doughnuts
We have another gem to share with you – Young Buns, another sector of the Sift Bakeshop empire. Have you ever wondered about the inspiration behind its quirky name? As it turns out, Adam Young and his kin are the proud owners of Sift Bakeshop, which also spawned the delectable A.T.Y Confections.
Bar and BonBons
If you’re looking for a place to grab a late-night coffee, Bar and Bon Bons is the place to be. The latest addition to the Sift Bakeshop family, they specialize in whipping up espresso martinis in a range of delectable flavors, including salted caramel, peppermint patty, and peanut butter cup.
They also have delicious homemade marshmallows enveloped in solid chocolate, a graham cracker crust, and a luscious peanut butter layer—perfect for accompanying your martini. With all of this in mind, it’s an excellent choice for a date night location to energize you before checking out the nightlife scene in Downtown Mystic.
Popover Eatery
Popover Eatery is a new addition to town that beckons with a diverse coffee menu. Their Thai Cold Brew or Iced Pumpkin Cold Brew paired with their must-try popovers is a match made in heaven. You can explore varieties like the Irish pop, filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy potatoes, and corned beef, or opt for vegan delights.
Lis Bakeshop
Moving on, we have Lis Bakeshop. This little gem of a cafe is a true hidden treasure. Their coffee is top-notch, and their pastries are out of this world; get the potato leek or spinach feta croissant; you won’t regret it!
We highly recommend trying their Chai Lattes—they’re a real treat. Lis is the perfect grab-and-go option if you want something quick before your next outing.
Plus, you’ll feel like a true local while waiting in line with other Mystic residents who love this spot. Bundle up if you’re visiting on a chilly day; they are window service only.
Mystic Depot Roasters
Taking the Amtrak to Mystic? Depot Roasters is your go-to spot. This train station cafe offers a variety of coffee drinks that will satisfy even the most discerning coffee connoisseur.
And with its relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a cup of joe while waiting for your train. Pro-tip ask for your muffins to be grilled!
Deviant Doughnuts
Finally, we have Deviant Doughnuts in Olde Mistick Village, known for decadent doughnuts and strong coffee. Their cozy atmosphere is ideal for a morning pick-me-up. The earlier you go, the better; occasionally, they do sell out of these Instagram-worthy sweets.
Be sure to stop by for a visit when they host their themed weeks like Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Disney, Hocus Pocus, and more! They truly get crafty with intricate artwork and insanely decadent flavors resulting in the ultimate Instagram-worthy treat. Keep an eye out on social media to mark your calendars with select dates.
