A lot of business have the basic aesthetic of a sustainable environment friendly business but this one delivers and with support for local farms. not only do they have eco-friendly products but a container library that does not require endless plastic containers and makes it easy to make good choices! I also love the mural and seating area. Clean restrooms with the "un-paper towels" they also sell by the roll - made me glad we purchased!

She took the time to ask what both my coworker and I liked and made thoughtful recommendations. I ordered "The Pear Necessity" with mezcal, and it was so good, Smokey with a hint of sweetness. She also suggested pairing our drinks with their chocolates, which completely elevated the experience. I tried the salted caramel and coconut, and both were incredible. My coworker ordered the "Chocolate Old Fashioned", made with real chocolate and orange. I'm usually not an Old Fashioned fan, but after trying it...wow that was delicious. I even grabbed some chocolates to take home because they were that good. Between the craft cocktails and the thoughtful pairings, this place really stands out. Definitely check them out if you're ever in Mystic !

At Sticky Situations you will find honey, so many creative variations of honey. Every single flavor can be sampled, no wonder this store is always so sticky with customers. The employees are friendly and are ready to answer any questions. Just to name a few flavors, they have Lemon honey, cinnamon honey, raspberry honey, chocolate honey, even avocado honey. The variety of berry honey is like shopping at the grocery store, for blackberries, cranberries and strawberries. All of those are at Sticky Situations in their honey suits! I got the blueberry honey, it is tart and freshly delicious! Each flavor comes in two sizes, the 4 ounce and the 8 ounce jars. They retail at $9.95 and $16.95 respectively. They are pricey. These would make an excellent gift for anyone who's hard to shop for.
