Uncle Matt's Bakery has some pretty incredible baked creations as some incredible prices to match but in all fairness, you can get items here you cannot get in many other bakeries. His croissants can be deemed as pieces of delectable art, truly made with passion and knowledge. From the raspberry croissant to the pistachio one and even to the $14 cube french toast croissant. His store has quite the following and they do run out of certain items by 10:00 am. Cute little spot offering in house dining as well as ample parking and a very patient staff. read more

Uncle Matt's Bakery and Cafe - A gluten-free carrot cake is hidden below this box! - Bakeries Near Me - Sandy Hook, Connecticut

I love their pastries and drive about 25 minutes to get there but the last few times I've gone (around 11am), I see a bare counter with most things are sold out. This has never happened when I've gone couple months back, even later in the day. It's disappointing because I'm not interested in anything else on their menu and had to return home empty handed few times... they don't close until 2pm so I do wish they make enough to last till closer to their closing time. read more

I hosted a holiday brunch at my house today and decided to serve an avocado toast bar using Uncle Matt's sourdough and multigrain breads. They were both an absolute hit. With the leftovers we ended up using the bread for "breakfast for dinner" egg sandwiches. The loaves of bread are fresh and mighty. For an additional dollar the staff will pre slice the bread. Coffee was also excellent. We have tried their croissants on other occasions and were enamored by their flavor and flakiness. We love supporting this local business! read more

Everyone needs Uncle Matt's bakery! Quality, freshly baked goods. No matter what I get, I have to add a biscuit every time I'm here. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is... its a little dirty/dusty/sticky feeling inside. I hope the kitchen is much cleaner than the customer area...but if it wasn't I can't say that'll stop me from frequenting this place haha. Also, the staff overall are friendly. read more

Uncle Matt's is a quaint bakery in Sandy Hook with ample outside seating perfect during warmer weather! The bakery itself has very cute and rustic vibes. Everything from here is very high quality. Their pastries, breads, and sandwiches are all outstanding! Today I tried their ham, egg, & cheese breakfast sandwich on their soft, delicious potato bread! One menu standout is hands down the fried eggplant sandwich. You must try that if you're looking for an excellent lunch sandwich. It's SO good... and so are the fries you get with it! read more

I've gone back and tied other items such as muffins and loaves. But today I tried the chocolate granola bar. It was so good. Cold, sweet, nutty, chocolate and crispy texture. Not too hard on teeth but simply yummy. Would go back for that. No pic since it was eaten by the time I got home. Try a granola bar if you want to se what a homemade one tastes like. read more

Uncle Matt's Bakery and Cafe - Muffin and croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Sandy Hook, Connecticut

Love the bread here! First time getting a sandwich and it was pretty good! I went on a Friday afternoon and there was barely any people there but I waited over 15min for the sandwich. There was also no acknowledgment that it was taking a long time from the staff. The section to wait is also where people eat so it gets crowded and feels awkward to stand there. But after the wait, I took my sandwich outside and ate. They have a lot of tables and seating and it's more comfortable and spacious. Definitely a cute place to eat when it's nice out. read more

I had the blueberry cheese Danish and my son at the croissant. Chef's kiss. It was delicious. I should have taken a pic but gobbled it up too fast. The outside was light and crunchy and the center was soft and chewy. Would return again for sure if we were local. read more

Great pastries, staff has strange customer service vibes, as they are soo quiet and didn't greet us as we walked in the door, which is kinda strange when entering a cafe, but whatever, they weren't rude, and we needed coffee bad. Instead, they made our drinks perfectly and sold us amazing pastries. Lots of room in the other rooms, not as much in the front of the store. Definitely go here, just don't expect excellent customer service. Just deal with the somber toned baristas and enjoy your delicious food and drink. read more

Stopped in here recently with my wife, first time visitor. Amazing pastry case full of top notch baked goods. We each ordered a coffee and a pastrami and egg sandwich. I opted for a plain coffee with cream my wife got a latte of some kind. I was very surprised at the quality of the coffee, would go back here again just for that. My egg sandwich on a biscuit was out of the park, my wife's egg sandwich on an everything bagel was equally as delicious. Looking forward to making an excuse to stop in here again. read more

I ordered an Italian combo sandwich. They asked me if I wanted fries. I said yes these are regular fries in this photograph. They have zero salt on them and they are absolutely greasy and disgusting. I'm scared to eat the sandwich or the muffin I ordered. read more

Wow, what an absolute hidden gem! This beautiful little cafe is serving up some of most sensational treats I've enjoyed in Connecticut. I am always on the hunt for a good hazelnut latte that doesn't taste sickly sweet and Uncle Matt's really delivered a rich, velvety, and decadent version that I finished before I started my car. The croissants were perfect and flaky and my breakfast sandwich was everything I could have dreamed of. The staff members were all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing exquisite customer service with a smile. I can't wait to come back and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for high end pastries, delicious sandwiches (breakfast or lunch!), craft coffee, and a great overall dining experience. read more

Pros: Convenient Location, decent seating if you want to stay a while. Cons: Pricey, Pastries seem like they are built around an older audience, not very sweet. read more

This is a cute little cafe/bakery in downtown newtown. They have outdoor and indoor seating so it's great place to sit and eat on a nice day. I just ordered via their takeout app (Toast) and got everything on time and as ordered. They even called when they had run out of bagels asking what we'd like as a replacement. The bacon egg and cheese is tasty, the bacon was cooked well done and was not skimped out on. The yogurt parfait comes with strawberries, blueberries, granola and honey. The yogurt had an interesting texture that makes me think it was made in house since it was so fluffy. We also got the cinnamon raisin bread, which you can have unsliced or sliced. The slices are nice and thick and the bread is not super sweet, but with plenty of raisins. Each sandwich comes with homemade potato chips-these were good, not overly salty or greasy, but crispy. The smoked salmon avocado toast was ok, a little lacking in the avocado. Husband also got the curry chicken wrap and enjoyed that. Will definitely come back again when in the area. read more

Everyone loves to rave about the quality of overpriced food items, as if to justify their paying too much for a mini roll claiming to be a bagel. The location is nice-it is on the main road going into Sandy Hook, with decent parking since it's open during earlier hours (Sandy Hook gets tricky in the afternoons and evenings). The logo is puzzling (orange, blac, and basic) and does not give the customer a sense of what to expect (I was expecting a hot dog joint the first time). The interior is fairly basic, and that's not a complaint. For a bakery, less is more. There is a little indoor, self-seating, and outdoors as well. The building has a mature landscape that makes for a private setting even though it's on the main road. I realize there are premium ingredients being used in the items crafted here, but despite all the upper middle-class, housewife fanfare, my friends and I find the food underwhelming. While perhaps some can justify the price of the items, there is nothing we've tried here that is so spectacular that we are dying to throw our money into the register. If we want to linger over a nice coffee in a setting more calming and less frenetic than Starbucks, this is a great option. Just eat before you go and save your money for the coffee. read more

I just left Uncle Matt's with a bad taste in my mouth. Other than the food being overly priced and very small portions, it was so uncomfortably hot that I was sweating and opted to leave instead of finishing our breakfast. I was really bummed out because I had been in a few times to take some pastries to go which never did disappoint, however the portion was pathetic and unjustifiable to pay $40 for dry eggs and less than caring customer service. The place is adorable and cozy, just much too cozy on an extremely hot day. Too bad the rest doesn't match up. It's a sad shame. read more

I'm leaving 4 jStars because I've had products from here before, and they were fantastic. I'm leaving this review because I want the buyer to beware ... Typically, I'll get regular baked goods and are completely satisfied with the product. However, today I decided to order two gluten-free blueberry cakes for someone in the household with a gluten allergy. They are roughly the size of a drakes cake coffee cake. As well, I ordered an everything bagel. The total came out to $16.83. The bagels are $2.50 so You do the math to determine the cost of those bite-size gluten-free cakes. I find this completely unreasonable and unfriendly towards anyone with a gluten allergy. The bagel is $2.50... The bagel was not up to par to what it usually is. Again, I'm leaving 4 stars because my only gripe is the price. read more

Cute little bakery with a wide variety of pastries! I truly enjoyed the selection. I went with the monkey bread that was good - not great. It was slightly burnt- and I like a little crisp but this had black char on it. I will be back - but won't go out of my way for this. read more

The coffee and pastries are amazing! Service is quick and the staff is awesome! This is my go to place!

Absolutely stellar baked goods, excellent and varied coffee options (today I had a Gingerbread latte) and a delicious bacon egg and cheddar on a brioche. Friendly service and outdoor seating. The inside is cute. So many options for fresh bread and pastries! This was the second time my husband and I came and it def won't be the last ! read more

The bread and baked goods are delicious, the staff is friendly and it's probably the best coffee place around but I can't give five stars because the interior is very run down and not in a shabby chic way in a there's insulating foam falling out of the fireplace way. This place usually sells out and stays busy so it's unclear why they can't invest a little bit in the overall cleanliness and aesthetic of the place. With that said I'll keep coming here because it's the best option around. read more

Great loafs! We really enjoy the sourdough here at uncle matts. A bit on the pricey side but they offer a good selection of bread and baked goods. Only complaint is the hours, they do close on the early side so plan ahead read more

Food is so good - breakfast sandwiches were amazing !! Will def be back ! Just think they need a bit more weekend help - it took a while to get our food. read more

Stopped in for lunch on Saturday. Got the eggplant sandwich with fries, angry bird sandwich and a chocolate chip cookie. Both sandwiches were good, nothing crazy or over the top but great bread and a solid sandwich. The fries left something to be desired. They somehow were very overcooked and dark yet sooooo soggy at the same time. I don't even know how that happens. The chocolate chip cookie was the biggest disappointment. It was super dry, had a weird taste to it and barely any chocolate. I do agree with most of the other reviews that the prices are way too high. Probably won't be returning. read more

Ok, this has gone downhill over time. Prices are still not reflective of quality. Purchased a large rye and it was not fully baked. Inside was gummy and gross. As others contend you can nap while your order is being prepared. I initially thought this was because they were new, but two years later nothing has changed. read more

Uncle Matt's is overall overpriced. It takes a long time so preordering is kind of the move. I only really go for the breakfast sandwiches. Went once for some cookies and treats to bring to a party and they just weren't good. First it was like $4 per rainbow cookie and they were actually terrible. Super dry. And didn't even taste like a traditional rainbow cookie. Also got a dirt bomb. Literally as dry as a dirt bomb would be. The macarons were decent but that's about it. Afraid to spend the money to try other things. It all just really isn't worth the price. read more

Uncle Matt's is a little hard to spot from the road, but it is SO worth it! The cafe itself offers a cheerful, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful -- when I was delayed in picking up an iced coffee I had ordered, they called me -- and then remade it when I arrived! The pastries are truly delicious, and taste of the high quality ingredients used. It is worth going out of your way to get some. I haven't tried the bread yet, but am actually heading that way to do just that now! read more

Picked up our weekly loaf of sourdough, so good with fresh pesto. Also a loaf of rye bread, a danish to go and just on impulse a custard and peach pie. Everything is so good. The custard is so rich and creamy, with just a touch of caramelized sugar on top. The peaches added the perfect sweetness to finish off the flavors. I highly recommend any and all baked goods, along with a medium dark coffee with cream on Saturday morning. read more

We love your breads and had a delicious lunch a few weeks ago. Today's breakfast was not well prepared and very disappointing. Eggs were tasteless and hastily cooked, burnt bacon and not quality cheddar. $9.50 was too expensive for bagel and lox served. Should have said something then but didn't. Perhaps take heed and better care for next customer. read more
