Respectfully... what happened? This is psychological damage. I went out of my way to go to Lighthouse because I heard they had gluten-free options. They had gluten-free option, singular, so that's what I got. This plain gluten-free bagel with plain cream cheese ran me $7. I asked for it extra toasted. I got raw ass bread, slightly warmed up, with an insulting amount of cream cheese. So yeah you can get a gluten-free bagel here, but at what cost? (That's a rhetorical question - the answer is $7 & emotional distress). Anyways - I really hope they continue to stock gluten-free items, just with more intention & care. People will go way out of their way for a good gluten-free breakfast. It's gotta be good tho.

Raspberry Shortcake

First time is here in Connecticut, and this was the first place that we decided to try out. This is a very cozy and cute bakery, located to the rear of the property. There is some seating outside as well as inside. Upon walking in, we were not greeted by any of the employees, but that did not bother us because we were just very hungry. We stood at the front of the counter with approximately 4 to 5 employees behind the counter. All employees noticed us, and none of them said a single word. It wasn't until my boyfriend caught the attention of somebody to take our order. Female employee came to the cash register, was very nice and took our order promptly. As soon as the food was delivered to our table, everything was forgiven. The food was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend and I have both ordered breakfast sandwiches and a raspberry shortcake for dessert. And it did not disappoint. If we're ever back in Connecticut, we might not be returning here, but it was a good experience. If we return back, we'd probably like to see what else Connecticut has to offer.

We loved this spot in the heart of downtown Mystic! This location was within walking distance of Mystic downtown shopping and vendors. We easily found parking in the morning. Lighthouse bakes all of their items fresh in house and offers quite a variety of food and drink options. The environment is homey, warm and welcoming. Their top sellers of breakfast include the Classic OG & the Big 55. They offer a current winter coffee menu as well as your classic go-tos. Their nitro cold brew is also a great pick! If you're a runner, be sure to also check out their Saturday AM run club with free coffee and some post-run event offerings. They have outdoor seating that is enclosed and heated as well as a few tables inside to get cozy. They offer milk alternatives and merch to purchase too!

Raspberry Bar

Raspberry Bar The shortbread cookie base was nice and thick. The shortbread was soft and not overly sweet. The raspberry jam layer was too thin for the ratio of jam to shortbread. The bar overall was very dry. It was a pretty good bar, nothing to write home about though. It needs a much better topping with a thicker layer too.

Breakfast sandwich with ham

Love the new outside seating away from hustle bustle of main st traffic! And the ciabatta bread is D-lish and quite large for a breakfast sandwich

Breakfast Burrito
Jaclyn F.

Overall 5/5! I am an absolute lover over family-owned businesses, and it definitely makes it 1000% better when I get a nice BRUNCH too!! Lighthouse Bakery has been said to be a hidden gem, and I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT DISAGREE! it might be a little hard to find because it is tucked away behind a carpet cleaning company & to the right of Bravo Bravo, but do not miss an opportunity to come and grab a bite here! The owner was so kind and wonderful, the food was great, and it was honestly the perfect spot for Brunch for me, my mom, and my sister. I had the Breakfast Burrito, which had ground beef, cheese, beans, and egg, and IT WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS and definitely filled me up! It was quite savory, and I'm not one with a huge appetite, but I definitely would've eaten two! I also had their cappuccino, which was very nicely made (comes without sugar, so you do it to your taste!) & the Tiramisu, which was AMAZING--Lighthouse Bakery's Tiramisu was so yummy, and had the perfect balance between sweet and bitter (like the coffee type of bitter). Honestly, it was probably the best Tiramisu I think I've tasted! The only thing I'll warn about is that there isn't much seating inside, but there is enough outside! Don't let the seating turn you away though; you definitely want to try Lighthouse Bakery before you leave Mystic!

Raspberry bar

A hidden bakery in the back part of the lot. Small selections of baked goods and drinks available, but it seems like they definitely make what they are good at. Less food waste and fresher food, so I am all in for that! This place has probably one of the BEST tiramisu desserts I've had!!! We saw two fresh batches being made in front of us in the open kitchen concept, on a Saturday morning. It could probably use a little more coffee flavor. Otherwise it'd be PERFECT! Their raspberry bars were very light and airy, with a shortbread cookie texture. Not over the top in sweetness and without the artificial flavoring. We brought a fresh baguette too and it was made to perfection. My husband says it was like some of the fresh breads he's had from Europe. Unfortunately, the homemade cinnamon bun was very dry, and wasn't rolled with enough cinnamon/sugar for flavor. As you can see in my photo, it almost looked like a sugar brioche. However, we did buy the last one so it was probably a fluke in the batch . Otherwise, definitely give this place a visit it you are in town. They also serve a humble breakfast menu with coffee opts too. Available parking at the back. Great customer service!

Breakfast Sandwich

A welcome treat for brunch! Food was yummy, Americano (Ille) delicious and perfectly brewed fresh. Food was made to order and came quickly to the outdoor table we selected. Their pastries, cakes and tiramisu looked amazing and there appeared to be fresh cannolis awaiting their filling upon order. Didn't break the bank and definitely worth the stop.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast bite. Had the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the ingredients are fresh! They made it in 3 minutes right on the spot. The ciabatta buns were homemade. Topped it off with an order of tiramisu because their baked goods looked so good. This mom and pop shop is a gem. Support local businesses who know how to cook!

Great place!

As a mom, the way a restaurant treats your child really stands out, and they made him feel so welcome. The breakfast was seriously to die for and I loved the entire atmosphere. Even the bathrooms are adorable You can eat outside or sit on the deck overlooking the Mystic Marina, which makes the whole experience even better. Such a little hidden gem in Mystic. Amazing breakfast, beautiful views and genuinely kind people. We absolutely loved it and will definitely be back!

** Did not get to actually eat here, so this review is just related to the service!…read more We called ahead and put our names down, and they said it would be about 15 minutes which was great because we were about 17 minutes away. When we got there, they said it would be another 10 minutes and we needed to wait outside. It's 40° and windy right now. I asked if we could wait in the car and give them my number to text or call me and they said no, they can't do that. I thought that was strange because there's nowhere to stand (the foyer is pictured in our photo). As we were deciding if we still wanted to wait and could bear to wait in the lobby, a woman came out and said she'd been there over an hour and never got food. Her whole party had been waiting for their orders and those orders never came...

We were completely satisfied across the board!…read more When we arrived, we were greeted behind a group of young couples with kids who we heard mention they were there the day before. The friendly hostess offered outside or inside seating. We elected to sit inside, but the walls were open, so we enjoyed the pleasant breeze without being blinded or scorced by sun. Our server was very friendly and checked on us with the perfect amount of regularity. Our breakfasts were very tasty. Julie enjoyed the "Yo' Bowl" while I savored the "Classic Benny!"

They might be a tad bit under staffed cause we did wait a bit before someone got us a table and even to pay and get some of the bakery items was a bit of a wait, but it wouldn't stop me from going again. The food actually came out fairly quickly. The wife and I both got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and my son got the French toast. I will admit, when my wife wanted to come here I really wasn't in the mood for anything I saw on the menu. We were on vacation and we weren't having much luck with food options the whole time so I was just being picky. That all changed tho when food arrived because that sandwich was excellent and really hit the spot. And the fries.....if you like McDonald's fries, you will like these even more because to me that's what they reminded of when their fries used to be good. My son enjoy his French toast. Will definitely go back. Price was reasonable as well. Oh!! Almost forgot about the bakery items. We got a chocolate chip cookie, a macadamia nut cookie and my son wanted macaroons. The cookies were awesome and I guess the macaroons were too cause my son ate them all and wouldn't share

They have a great selection when it comes to brunch, breakfast items, lunch items, you name it. Also, they are flexible with orders. My wife asked for a Caesar with romaine vs kale; no problem at all. I went with the Fried Fish Sandwich. Both were excellent! You can tell the food here is local; and not brought in from any of the big national distributors. Service was friendly and attentive. I really enjoyed the inside vibe and decor. A great spot in Mystic!

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.

We had the request in the notes of our reservation, so it's a shame they didn't have it set up for us when we walked in or at least upon sitting down. There's no kids menu, and the regular menu is very limited if you have a child with a food allergy. My son has an egg allergy, and there were barely any options for him. There wasn't even a simple chicken option on the menu. We ultimately settled on a grilled cheese because it was essentially the only thing that worked, and no one offered to modify something or suggest another option that could accommodate him. The service overall wasn't particularly attentive, which made the limited options even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the food itself also didn't live up to the hype for us. I understand not every restaurant caters specifically to families, but a little more attentiveness and willingness to accommodate a child with a food allergy would have gone a long way. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for families with young kids or dietary restrictions.

They have the seafood-laden, high-quality menu, and the scratch kitchen is executing everything at a very high level. We shared the bangin' mussels (a lager-based broth instead of white wine, with excellent flavor and tender, fresh bivalves), some raw oysters to start (fresh enough they didn't need a thing), a bowl of the best clam chowder I can remember having, a pretty affordable (comparatively so at $32) and delicious lobster roll, and some brussels sprouts for our health. Everything was well done, including the fresh chicken fingers for my kid that only eats chicken fingers and fries, along with a homemade honey mustard that hit the spot for me. The only thing I might wish they had is outdoor seating with a view of the water, but it was raining when we were there anyway so we didn't miss it this time around.
