Came here on a Monday morning a little before 9 am and there was a line. It wasn't too bad. And…read morehonestly, it's worth it. The line was out the door, but that's because its kind of a smaller line space. When I got to the front, there were 2 people taking orders, so they're trying to keep the line moving. I ordered the bowtie croissant that had blackberry jam inside and an ebbieoche. Along with an espresso for my husband and a blueberry lemonade for me. Once I got my items, I went outside to sit on their front porch/patio area with my husband and pup. The blueberry lemonade was really good. Very sweet. It had like bits of blueberry in it as well. And it js MASSIVE. Kind of a steal. The bowtie croissant was SO good. They make sure its filled to the brim with jam. And it was good jam. The croissant itself was fantastic. It was a little thicker to make sure the jam didn't immediately spill out, and that was genuis. I loved it. It was exactly the top of croissant I wanted with jam. The ebbieoche was delicious. Husband loved the cinnamon and sugar. We ate all of it. They had a good amount of pastries and everything was beautiful. I would 100% come back and stand in line.

I went with the almond croissant, a sea salt chocolate chip cookie, an oatmeal blueberry cookie, and a hot coffee. I was fairly disappointed in the sweets - the croissant was almost like a cream puff, not a lot of almond flavor. The cookies were okay, I might have set my expectations too high! I'd come back but would probably get other things next time.

They make their own blend of house teas which are delicious. It's a small spot that has both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are all very friendly. We ordered the mushroom toast, house breakfast sandwich and two dark chocolate glazed sourdough donuts (which are made to order). This was our second visit of the weekend and everything was delicious both times. Definitely adding to our Rolodex of places to return to and highly recommend!

So that means everyone loves Nana's. Which means that, on a very rainy weekend early afternoon, we ended up waiting quite a long time to order and then to get our food but ... I suppose it was worth it (this is high praise coming from someone who almost never believes waiting in a long line is actually worth it). My friend and I split the spicy Caesar kale salad as a starter. I cracked up when I saw "massaged kale" as one of the ingredients. But all jokes aside, this was one of the best kale salads with abundant dressing and, in lieu of croutons, breadcrumbs and cashew parmesan. It tasted pretty indulgent and rich but you can certainly fool yourself into thinking it's actually healthy. I got the tomato sandwich plus bacon (so a BLT without the L) and it was pretty good, though I do wish they cut the bread a little thinner so I could pick it up and eat it as a sandwich. As it were, I just used my knife and fork - certainly more civilized. The pizza was also not bad, though I wish there were some more of the toppings - heard it's leagues better than Mystic Pizza. There are a few tables inside but be prepared to wait. When it was peak rush hour, there were two lines inside, one for the bathroom and one to place an order. Even though they were so slammed, the staff couldn't be friendlier. Our waitress in particular came by often to see how we were doing. Parking lot also filled up. We parked in the Mystic train station and then walked over.

It is, however, worth the wait. When I first walked in, I couldn't get over the variety of delicious looking baked goods behind the clear glass display cases. I asked the couple next to me, "how in the world do you choose?" On day one, I chose the ham and cheese croissant as I was trying to get a bit of protein in with my breakfast and I had already decided I'd be back tomorrow to try another. My breakfast did not disappoint. It had the perfect amount of ingredients and the croissant itself was buttery and flaky. The staff is friendly, patient, and helpful. There is seating inside but if the weather is nIce, I recommend sitting outside. They have a beautiful patio with comfortable outdoor seating where you can listen to the birds and church bells. This place is a 10 out of 10 and I can't wait to return! In my book, it is a MUST when you're in Mystic.

Such a cool environment for a cafe in a place that doesn't always seem "local" based on tourism.
