The moment you walk up, the buttery aroma hits you, and suddenly you're debating whether it's socially acceptable to order three pastries before 10 a.m. The display cases are stunning: perfectly laminated croissants, glossy macarons in every color, sticky buns, guava cheese danishes, scones, quiche, artisan breads--each one looking like it was styled for a magazine cover. And the best part? They taste even better than they look! Coffee is excellent too--smooth, strong, and exactly what you want in hand as you wander the casino. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for a resort, and the quality is top‑tier. Even when there's a line (and there usually is), it moves quickly and is absolutely worth the wait. Whether you're grabbing breakfast before hitting the floor, picking up a box of macarons as a gift, or treating yourself to something decadent after a show, Sift delivers pastry perfection every single time. It's easily one of the sweetest highlights of Mohegan Sun. Cheers

The employees are always super friendly and ready to answer any questions you have. I love that they have both an inside area with seating, and an outside window for orders and pickups. The smoothies are always a 10/10. In the fall, I get the Harvest Cobbler (one of their seasonal drinks), but during the rest of the year I love the Blueberry Oat with peaches added in and the Mango Refresher. My mom LOVES the Chocolate PB&B because it tastes just like a Reese's peanut butter cup. Their coffee is also delicious, and they have an abundance of flavored syrups to choose from. I love getting their cookie butter syrup, but their salted caramel, toasted almond mocha, and cherry syrups sound really good too. They also offer two sugar free syrup options, vanilla and caramel. I love that as a small business themselves, they support and use products from other local small businesses. I'm so happy Norwich has an actual smoothie spot, and not just another MLM-backed healthy/nutritional "smoothie" place. You won't be disappointed if you come here!

Lucille's Café in Ledyard is the kind of neighborhood spot that quietly wins you over with…read morequality-first food and a menu that feels more curated than you'd expect from a small café. Their sandwich lineup is the standout: fresh bread with real structure, generous fillings, and combos that show someone in the kitchen actually cares about balance. Whether you go classic or try one of their more creative builds, it's consistently satisfying. The coffee program deserves its own shoutout. Smooth pours, well-textured lattes, and drinks that come out tasting intentional--not rushed, not burnt, not watery. It's the type of place where you order a second coffee because the first one was genuinely that good. Now, the caveats--the ones Yelp Elites always clock. The line can be a patience test, especially during peak hours. The café is cozy (read: small), and the limited seating means you're often strategizing where you'll actually sit before you even order. And while the food and drinks are absolutely worth talking about, the tab climbs fast. It's surprisingly easy to cross the $50+ mark for a couple coffees and a few sandwiches, which feels steep for a casual café experience. Still, Lucille's delivers on flavor, consistency, and quality. If they can ease the congestion and rethink the price-to-portion ratio just a bit, they'd be flirting with five-star territory. For now, it's a strong four stars--a local gem with room to shine even brighter. Cheers

At Mohegan Sun for a conference left us on our own for dinner tonight. So a nice girls night out…read morewith my colleagues and with all of the choices, we settled on The Shed because it had something for everyone. We were greeted quickly and sat right away. Nice open yet cozy seating and friendly smiles all around. Two of us had a delicious Cobb salad - we both felt it needed a bit more dressing - but it was super fresh and tasty. One had a steakhouse burger which she really liked as well and we split Shed Fries and Sweet Potato fries. All was delicious. I knocked one star off because we all really felt the burgers should have come with fries as opposed to a pickle spear and coleslaw. For the price, an added pile of fries would have been nice as opposed to having to order a side plate. That aside, food was delicious, service was spectacular. John was super friendly and helpful with choices too. Tempted to go back to try their brunch items! Maybe before I leave I'll get back there!

The first time I sat at the bar, and the second time I was with friends and we had table service. The service was excellent both times. This spot is located next to the escalator at Mohegan Sun heading up to the convention center and the Winter Garage. This place Is spacious and really cute. Hidden seats in the back. I loved it.

I had a medium to dark roast that was out of this world from Guatemala. The Barista was so helpful in helping me select the perfect blend after I explained what I like in coffee.

The icing on the cake or should I say scone was Brittany singing and Gabe playing his acoustic guitar. They were so talented and humble. Just the coffee alone was an amazing treat!
