    Pesto, egg, + cheese sandwich

    LOVED! Went for breakfast- such unique latte flavors, which were all homemade and so good. Breakfast options were all great, and the menu changes, so you know everything is fresh.

    Solid food and drinks for a reasonably priced lunch. Love the ambiance and community space. The smaller sized pizza was def enough for 2 of us and was nice and crusty. Evergreen matcha was so good we went back to get another one the next day. That jasmine and matcha combo but only a summer item

    Almond latte

    Love Nana's!! Working in Connecticut for the past couple of months and this has been a favorite. Service is always great, all the food is amazing, and the atmosphere is perfect!!

    Nanas in Mystic is a gem but this location stole my heart. Very friendly staff and the espresso bar. I decided to dine in solo and was very impressed by the freshness of the bread, tasty turmeric latte and cute quaint dining experience that I had here. I will pop back in time and time again. Love

    Beautiful location with indoor and outdoor seating. We had brunch, starting with the lemon donut which came out warm and tasty! It was light and delicious. Then we shared the frittata and quiche. Both were light and flavorful. The feta was strong but I enjoy the flavor.

    This little tiny spot was neat and well arranged, with a good use of space. Menu was eclectic, and everything we had was good. Service was quick abd pleasant.

    Walking into Nana's feels like stumbling upon a secret spot (almost literally - you can easily miss it, it's a side door from Longo's - like a pizza and coffee speakeasy) where the local coffee nerds and pizza purists have found common ground. This spot is a study in contrasts - exposed brick meets sleek marble counters, while designer dome lights cast a warm, hipster glow over the weathered wood bar. It shouldn't work, but somehow, it does. The tomato pie here is a thing of beauty. We're talking about a crust that defies physics - thin enough to make you wonder how it holds up, but sturdy as hell. Pick up a slice and it stands at attention, no drooping, no surrender. The sauce is where they really show their hand - bright, vibrant, almost raw in its tomato-forward intensity. None of that overseasoned nonsense trying to mask subpar ingredients. This is very fresh tomato telling its own beat poetry story, with just a few fresh basil leaves playing backup. The coffee options aren't just an afterthought either. Including their homemade spin on coffee milk - comes at you strong and unapologetic, more like an actual coffee than the usual sugary taste point. The menu reads like a hipster's dream - Smashing Pumpkins, Rude Awakening, some concoction called Black Koji Flat White - but the pretension stops at the names. The staff actually seems to enjoy being here, delivering drinks with genuine enthusiasm rather than practiced indifference. There's a constant hum of activity - servers weaving between tables, baristas crafting drinks, pizzas emerging from the kitchen - but it never feels chaotic. The staff moves with purpose, always busy but never rushed, maintaining a rhythm that speaks to well-oiled experience rather than frantic energy. It's the kind of efficient hustle that makes running a restaurant look easy, even though we know it's anything but. What Nana's has pulled off is rare - a spot that's clearly studied the rules of both pizza and coffee culture, only to break them in all the right ways. The '80s new wave soundtrack (INXS's "Don't Change" fitting perfectly into the vibe), the cloth napkins, the real plates - it's elevated without being elite, crafted without being precious. In a world of either-or, Nana's is definitely both-and, and better for it.

    Pizza lived up to the hype! I usually try to save my carbs and skip the crust but I ate it all! Really great sourdough base but not at all overpowering. The sauce is so sweet and incredible - clearly homemade. Highly recommend!

    Evergreen (iced) and cold brew (splash of milk)... Perfect for a summer day! The matcha and jasmine tea on the evergreen was a great pairing
    John M.

    Always a joy to pop in for a cool beverage on a hot summer day! Staff were friendly and personable. Great spot to check out and walk downtown or the park across the street

    Nana's Westerly is truly a gem! They offer Italian styled dishes with a twist; a lot of their dishes have honey in it, which honestly makes the food absolutely delicious. The restaurant is super cute inside, aesthetically pleasing for sure & you can feel the good vibes once you enter. What we ordered: -Sweet and spicy pepperoni pizza -Caesar salad -Two orders of risotto balls -Nana's Spritz -Beekeeper drink -Brown sugar cinnamon sourdoughnut sundae with matcha ice cream & coconut caramel sauce Everything we ordered was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The risotto balls were our favorite. Typically, I actually don't eat pizza much but the sweet and spicy pepperoni pizza from here is very good. It reminded me of hot honey so I really enjoyed it. I would definitely come back again in the future. If Nana's was closer, I'd most likely be here every other day haha. Good food, good people, good vibes... highly recommend checking Nana's Westerly out!

    Nana's spritz
    Chris T.

    Drove 2 hours to make it down here, and we were not disappointed. Parking lot available right outside (free) and as we entered staff greeted us and we were seated right away. We arrived at 4pm which is the start of their Happy Hour menu until 5pm. Their staff is extremely nice and helpful with suggestions, recommendations and grabs stuff quickly. We drank the beekeeper cocktail and the Nana's spritz seltzer wine cocktail! Both were well balanced and turned us a shade of red haha I must say we LOVED the risotto balls, crispy, risotto cooked perfectly not overly mushy. Flavor was on point, the sauce with the Italian seasonings? Not sure what it was but it was FIRE so good. We got a second order. (3pc per order) The Caeser salad is a starter size and the lady liked it and ate it up like a rabbit! We also ordered a sweet and spicy roni pie. Now the sizing does not mean how many inches in diameter the pizza is, but rather Small = a neopolitan thin style Large = a thick Sicilian style We opted for the small style. Our staff ladies explained it to us before ordering! It was cooked well, dough was good to eat through the crust. The roni had a kick, i actually think if they used the seasoning from the risotto balls on top it would elevate it even more. We asked for parm, hot red peppers which they make in house and DOES have a kick, as well as in house fried crispy garlic in lieu of garlic powder. We called the night with house made doughnut (cinnamon sugar) with the days matcha choco chunk ice cream with caramel salt drizz? I forget but we finished it! Yum! Worth the drive, will be back as we also found out some friends live near by!

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.

Yes, get here early especially in tourist season to beat the crowds, and order ahead if the option is available. They do sell out so check their instagram/facebook first to make sure they haven't yet. My current go to is a plain or sesame bagel toasted with butter and a little hot honey. When I am more hungry, I go for the sweet Lou with no cheese or the Hot Boi with no cheese and cream cheese on the side. The eggs are local and everything is cooked perfectly. The everything bagel is a little too salty for my tastes, but friends love it! My boyfriend is incredibly picky about bagels but if I come home with no bagel for him he gets in his feelings--it's that good. I'm so happy to see The Flour Shop thrive here in Pawcatuck. They started off with humble beginnings and it's been great to watch them grow and expand. Staff is always kind, even with the stress of the tourist season. Check this place out!

This hidden gem is already going viral in real life, and after my visit, I completely understand why. Be prepared to wait (the line stretched out the door and wrapped around the building) but don't let that scare you away. It moves pretty fast. It's absolutely worth the wait. And that says a lot coming from an impatient New Yorker that hates to wait. Inside is small and can get pretty crowded, but there are a few outdoor tables if you'd rather enjoy your food outside. Parking was surprisingly easy, with a decent-sized lot. The service was just as impressive as the food. Owner Hannah was wonderful to chat with and clearly passionate about what she's built. Alyssa, who took my order, was incredibly patient and helped me narrow down the menu with fantastic recommendations!! I tried the #3 Sweet Lou on a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese, and it was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The cheddar scallion bagel with regular cream cheese was light, flavorful, and had just the right amount of crisp on the outside. I also had the Meemers BLT on a margarita bagel, which was absolutely delicious. For drinks, I ordered the Cookie Butter Cold Brew with cold foam and the Banana Bread Latte with caramel and cold foam. Both were incredible and packed with flavor. (I usually don't even like cold brew) From the exceptional service to the outstanding food and drinks, everything exceeded my expectations. The Flour Shop Bagels & More absolutely lives up to the hype and is a must visit if you're looking for one of the area's best breakfast spots. They are absolutely on my list of favorites now!
