Sift Bake Shop is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks--a French‑inspired pastry oasis tucked right inside Mohegan Sun. 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 read more

Can someone please explain to me why this Sift location doesn't have a lot of reviews? Allow me to fix that. I hadn't been to this location inside Mohegan Sun yet because somehow I'm always at the casino at night when they're closed. Yesterday I was a girl on a mission for their savory croissants and I can confirm the spinach artichoke, pulled pork, & buffalo croissants are perfectly flaky and flavorful. I obvious got some macarons because who am I if I didn't? And then got a coffee to go and a whole bunch of other dessert options as well because I have it in my head I simply must try one of everything they make and also, I'm a panic orderer so I definitely spent over $100. The person who helped me was incredibly nice, and so was everyone else working from the convos I was overhearing. It's a small space, but it's pretty. Will def drop by again on my next casino visit! read more

Love this place, excellent coffee! Very unusual, but my croissant was possibly undercooked, heavy and doughy on the inside... not the usual flakiness that peels away in layers. Something definitely went wrong because I never experienced this before here. I'm sure they would have exchanged it if I went back, but I just was not up for the walk back and ate the exterior which was as tasty as always ! Will absolutely be back and consider this an anomaly, and still highly recommend it to all! read more

Of all the bakeries I've been to in New England, Sift is my favorite. I've been several times to the original location in Mystic, CT, and the amazing thing is that the one at Mohegan is just as good. I love that the Mohegan location has its own entire kitchen where they create all their wonderful pastries and desserts. I will say that the Mohegan location can get kind of loud from the surrounding crowds (it's right across from a Chick Fil A) , but the seating area nearby is nice if you can get away from the crowds a bit. This particular visit I was just there for dessert. We had to wait in line for a bit because it was so busy. I ordered an almond croissant and a Gingerbread cheesecake. The almond croissant was a perfectly baked croissant filled with an almond infused whipped cream, as well as some crushed almond on top. The gingerbread cheesecake was not just beautiful but it was also a delicious cheesecake, especially with some Hot Cinnamon tea to go with it. In the past, I've also enjoyed the sandwiches here as well as their quiche. You really can't go wrong here. read more

So delicious, new and fun! We stopped here for a tipsy late night snack on the way back to our hotel. For around $50, we got a large chocolate chip cookie, a massive pistachio croissant pastry and one of each colored macaron. I would definitely try some new items next time. Although I absolutely love macarons, they were all thrown in one box together and there was only very subtle differences in flavors from one to the next. Would be back. I mean, will be back. read more

"Dreams come and go, And I sift through them. Love starts to grow From the thoughts I find within them" (The Mamas and the Papas) If you've ever watched those cooking shows on Food Network, you might be familiar with a Bakery Chef by the name of Adam Young. In 2018, he was crowned Food Network's BEST BAKER IN AMERICA and has become a frequent contributor to a slew of shows. He owns several highly respected Sift bakeries on the Connecticut and Rhode Island shoreline, plus one inside the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT. That's where we had lunch today. Sift is best known for their Artisanal Breads, Breakfast Pastries, Savory salads and sandwiches, Cookies & Brownies, French Macarons, and gourmet cakes. We wanted to grab a quick lunch before the Connecticut Sun WNBA game today, and Sift's gorgeous storefront and showcases drew us over for a closer look. And when that closer look revealed beautiful smoked salmon sandwiches on a croissant for just $11, well, we couldn't order two of them fast enough. My Sweet Lord, were they fantastic. Their Smoked Salmon Sandwich came with sliced Heirloom Tomato, Pickled Red Onion, Capers, and Chive Cream Cheese on an Everything Croissant. And I swear there was over a quarter of a pound of thinly sliced smoked salmon piled high on that croissant. At just $11, it was an incredible value. Was it hard to resist all of the sweet treats Sift tempted us with? You betcha it was. There are plenty of seats in the space surrounding Sift, so we grabbed a table, and enjoyed our lunch with iced coffees. Next time we're down in Southeast Connecticut, we sure will visit one of Chef Adam's bakeries. read more

Phenomenal desserts. Clean. Transparent view of baking and decorating. Loved it. The line wasn't very long but they are very organized and the line moved quickly. Friendly staff. read more

I've been going to Sift in Mystic every time I'm in the area. While at the casino I was pleased to see their shop. Prices are the same across the board. I always get their lattes (iced/hot depending on season). I do enjoy their sticky buns, chocolate chip cookies and macarons. However, I wanted a simple sugar cookie today. It was so chewy and buttery; it was heavenly!!!! The staff is very helpful and friendly. You get to see their entire display case if what's available and choose what you'd like. I even watched the bakers work. Ambiance is like their mystic shop. Clean, chic and enticing. It smells great!!! Love their goodies. read more

One of my favorite bakeries is now at Mohegan Sun! I love Sift Bake Shop and I'm a frequent flyer at their Niantic location. Just another excuse to visit the casino to get my favorite lattes and treats. Sift Bake Shop took over the space that was Carlo's Bakery, across from Chick-fi-A, over Frank Pepe's and The Shed (I know it can be a maze in there). My husband and I were visiting for another event, but of course I made my way to Sift for a light lunch and to grab other goodies to take home. The line was very long since there were many events happening on this particular weekend. Unfortunately, the line went very slow--but I was able to view all my options and knew my order before I got to the counter. I got an Iced Chai Tea Latte (one of my favorites), a Seacoast Mushroom Quiche, the seasonal Key Lime Croissant, Buffalo Chicken Croissant (special for Father's Day weekend), and a bag of their Short Bread Cookies that my husband absolutely loves. I enjoyed my little treat in the same area since there were tables scattered in this area, some tables are tucked away and peaceful. They forgot to warm up my quiche which I had requested, but since the line was long I wasn't going to fight it. Luckily, you can eat quiche either warm or chilled. My iced chai was perfect. The rest of the goodies were saved for later. Sift is a great addition to Mohegan Sun. I hope the speed and efficiency of will fix itself in time--I would love to move my 4 Stars to 5! The staff member that helped me was so sweet and I think I helped her with knowing exactly what I wanted with minimal questions. read more

Wow. It's been a long time since I've been to Sift in Mystic, and while I remember they made great pastries, they definitely upped their game over the years! I didn't get to visit the new bakery in Mohegan Sun myself, but rather had my husband pick something up for me while he was there. So I can really only speak for the quality of pastry this time. This thing was amaaazing. It was a tart filled with a thick buttermilk custard, topped with a super thin disk of white chocolate and a donut shaped round of some kind of blackberry cream. I don't know how they made such a decadent treat taste so light! The pastry crust was perfection, not greasy or crumbly. The flavor was refreshingly fruity and not too sweet at all. And there were so many textures!! It really was perfect. I can't wait to visit myself. This makes Mohegan Sun much more interesting to me! read more

We finally got the chance to try Sift! The line was long but it moved fast! All of their desserts looked like artwork! I had to limit myself but I'll be back again! We got up early and had the iced matcha latte and my morning go-to, hot vanilla coffee. It was perfect. They asked my daughter how sweet she wanted the matcha latte. It was perfect... not too sweet. We both loved the salmon croissant sandwich, blueberry scone and strawberry rhubarb danish. There were plenty of open tables and very clean! We'll definitely be back! read more

Have been to Sift in Mystic- was happy to see they opened at Mohegan Sun. Prime location at the top of the escalator. Always a line- day or night- but efficient service. Open late nights after the shows. Who doesn't need a midnight snack? I had this amazing vanilla cake- delish. Friendly service- with IG-worthy creations. read more

Came here for breakfast before heading back home from the casino. Let me tell you they did not disappoint! Never mind Kristy Kreme-this is the place to go for a phenomenal breakfast pastry. Service is cafeteria style where you order then head to cash register to pay. Every item is beautifully showcased so you can see what you like! In addition to breakfast pastries they offer breakfast sandwiches, desserts and macarons. Also caffe and tea style beverages. My tea was prepared as ordered and hot! The croissants were fresh and buttery. The almond cream filling was light and airy, while the pistachio filling was more like custard. Both were delicious! My only regret was that I was staying long enough to get dessert! read more

I went to Sift at Mohegan the other day (maybe my third or fourth time at a Sift) and I was satisfied with the light breakfast I ordered. I am a huge fan of an iced latte, and their iced vanilla latte was creamy, rich, and tasty. I would argue that, at least from what I have tried, this is the best coffee spot at Mohegan Sun. My chocolate croissant wasn't exceptional, but it was quite good. Sift offers a huge variety of beautiful sandwiches, salads, pastries, and desserts, all of which are almost too expensive looking to want to eat! With that said, most of their products are actually expensive - nothing unusual for a casino, but a bit pricey for baked goods in my opinion. Also, because of the casino location, I have seen the line get relatively long (20-25 minutes) during peak hours. But, I will definitely be back in the future for breakfast and coffee when I am in the area. read more

I've been left pretty unimpressed by the 3 sweets I have bought here yesterday. I got the vanilla cake, the chocolate hazelnut, and the banana tart. Let's go over each one individually. I was mostly looking forward to the vanilla, but was extremely unimpressed with the flavor. Especially the big ball of vanilla chocolate on top. I dont know what was wrong with the chocolate thats used but it did not taste authentic. I like white chocolate but this was not top tier. The mousse or, the main part of the cake was alright. Very light. Not overly sweet. The actual vanilla cake part inside was nice and soaked and very delicious I wish it had more. And I should have read the card, because I was not expecting there to be chocolate inside the "very vanilla" cake. It wasn't even ganache idk what it was but the texture was just off. I was able to finish the cake. Not the chocolate from the top. The chocolate hazelnut cake was probably the best out of the 3. The chocolate whipped cream on top was lacking. The hazelnut mousse part was delicious. Very yummy. There was this weird vanilla like stuff in the middle? Maybe not vanilla? It tasted fruity but i couldn't put my figure on it. Weird tbh. Cake chocolate thing on the bottle was pretty good and the crunchy chocolate on the bottom was a nice touch. It almost makes you think youre eating a hazelnut chocolate. Im not usually a chocolate person but this one was really good. I'd buy it again. Now the banana. Idk what they were thinking but everything is horrible. I LOVE banana and banana flavored things and this was just horrid. The whipped cream is just plain on top, it could have been flavored. The flavor of the next layer is good, but the texture is strange. The next layer after that is yummy too, has a bit of crunchiness. The tart is just too plain. I personally dont think it needs to be a tart. It adds nothing to the dessert and personally I think it takes away from everything else and overpowers it in taste. There's this weird banana ball in the middle. I dont know what its mixed with but it just tastes like over ripe banana and the texture is not great either. Overall, i had such high hopes. Especially since everything was 30$. You'd think something that makes such beautiful creations would do more research on the tastes of their creations. Because it seems to me theyre more worried about their aesthetic then they are on the flavor of their creations. As a pastry chef myself with a degree, its crazy how kind of bad everything was disappointing. Would i purchase from them again? Yes. They have so many things to choose from, and i will not black list a place just because I tried 3 things and didnt like them. Would I buy these again? No. I would recommend the chocolate, but tell people to steer clear of the other two. Not worth the money. Im sorry. Would love to give another chance In the future. read more

Sift Bakery is conveniently located right at the top of the escalator, making it a perfect spot to grab a quick snack before or after visiting the casino. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful when I had a question about a pastry. I got the peanut butter praline and a chocolate chip cookie. Both were fresh and delicious. I would recommend giving this place a try. read more

This place is a home run. The staff is classy. They know about customer service. They're attentive. The coffee is a plus the desserts. If you haven't tried at least a few you're really not live in life. The pistachio croissant was made to perfection not overly sweet just right the artichoke and spinach. Croissant was also a great breakfast. read more

Sift Bake Shop - Pistachio croissant with pistachio filling not too sweet , perfect ! - Bakeries Near Me - Uncasville, Connecticut

Sift in the best bakery that I have experienced. This location is located inside Mohegan Sun Casino. It's a great addition for breakfast, iced and hot drinks and pastry treats. From croissants to macarons to pastries there is surely something there to satisfy everyone's craving. The line moves fast and servers are wonderful. The cases are amazing and the choices are endless. Open kitchen and the mixers are going while you wait. What's not to love? read more

The only reason I gave this a 4 was only just cause the sweets were really sweet. In my peanut butter cookie sandwich the cream was REALLY sweet the cookies themselves were delicious they were soft too ! I did enjoy it still, I honestly would have killed to have those with ice cream in the middle! My husband did enjoy the key Lime cheesecake & the sugar cookie ! I really went there cause I wanted to try their pistachio croissant but they didn't have it right now ( it's seasonal) but I will definitely go back to try it when it's in stock! They definitely have overwhelming options but it's just you can't go and get ONE thing ! Definitely prepare for a box at least to go! read more

If you're craving a decadent goodie while at the Mohegan Sun Casino then Sift is the place for you. If you time it right, you can avoid the long line (it's popular) and still get a great assortment to pick from. They have pre-made sandwiches, quiche and a host of baked goods that range from luxuriously made cakes to a huge assortment of macarons. On my latest visit, we decided to get a loaf of the maple walnut sourdough bread (note - they won't pre-slice for you), an overnight oats with granola in a pumpkin spice flavor and a piece of mushroom quiche. The bread is amazing - I always love finding new sourdough flavors and I would totally purchase again. The pumpkin spice overnight oats tasted like a mousse (not a complaint!) and was so good and decadent. I like to pretend that was even a little bit healthy but I know it was probably a lot more sugary than some overnight oats you can get at slightly healthier places. The quiche was not a hit with me at all. Very salty and the cheese tasted off. I don't think I'd purchase that again. Prices are a bit steep - you are in a casino after all so along the lines of everything else there it's more than if you went to their other locations. I'd stop again and would recommend it, it's really good quality and a nice alternative to many of the other options in the casino. read more

Honestly, disgusted with the customer service here. I had a very poor experience here a few weeks ago and Morgan from customer service reached out to me via Google review and offered to make it right. I've emailed multiple times with ZERO correspondence back. Don't offer things like this if you have no intention on following through. Extremely unprofessional and untrustworthy, for a bakery this expensive you'd think they'd have a little more decorum when it comes to situations like this. Unacceptable to say the least read more

Only been there once. We got almond pastry ( is just a croissant with cream and almond extract ) not what I expected. Like eating bread with cream. Was expecting real pastry with almond paste. Maybe will give another try ordering something else. read more

The roast beef sandwich was nearly impossible to eat. The bread was incredibly tough to bite into. It noticeably bothered my jaw and teeth to eat it. Flavor was fine but the bread being refrigerated and hard like that was awful. Would not ever get another one of their sandwiches if the breads are all like that. read more

First let me start with amazing bakery. My only issue is, recently visited placed my order, paid then left the casino. Shame on me for not checking my order, but a portion of my order that I paid for was not in the bag. Mistakes happen, placed a call to make them aware of the issue. Had to leave a message. Still waiting for the call back 2 weeks later. It would not be so bad but the person taking care of you is only dealing with you as a customer and no one else. read more

A visit to Sift Bake Shop was the perfect way to end our overnight escape to Mohegan Sun. It was our first time at Sift. We tried a little assortment of baked goods: strawberry-rhubarb croissants, a pecan sticky bun, and cookies. Everything was delicious, packed with style and care. Before leaving for home, we went back for some take-home "souvenirs." Both times, the customer queue moved quickly, and service was friendly & efficient. 'Next trip, we'll try the macarons! read more

I've been to other Sift locations and had higher expectations coming into this one, but I left pretty underwhelmed. The display of baked goods is definitely eye-catching, but everything I've tried has been average, including the espresso drinks. During peak hours, you could be waiting 20-30 minutes, which feels excessive for what you get. It's an okay stop if you're already at Mohegan and craving a bakery, but it doesn't really live up to the Sift name. Compared to other bakeries here, it just doesn't stand out. read more
