Great small casual local cafe that is known for its sourdough goodies. They offer everything from house-made bread, morning rolls (sweet and savory), cookies, to pizza and sandwiches. They make their own blend of house teas which are delicious. It's a small spot that has both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are all very friendly. We ordered the mushroom toast, house breakfast sandwich and two dark chocolate glazed sourdough donuts (which are made to order). This was our second visit of the weekend and everything was delicious both times. Definitely adding to our Rolodex of places to return to and highly recommend! read more

Nana’s Mystic - Mushroom toast, sourdough donuts, house breakfast sandwich - Bakeries Near Me - Mystic, Connecticut

Okay so I love this little spot in Mystic! Away from the main street chaos and with a parking lot were the first perks! The Life on Marizpan latte was incredible - got it iced and the flavor was amazing! All flavor shots are made in house. Kids had the lemonade - also fresh and in house. Shared a large cheese pizza and devoured! The baked goods looked delicious! I will say - the donuts were sold out when we were there at noon so we will definitely will be back for everything we tried and hopefully donuts next time too! read more

This was a small spot with outdoor seating along with a few tables inside. It was an organic bakery as well as a pizza shop that also served breakfast dishes. There were a lot of intriguing options to choose from. I had the chilaquiles ($15) and a Cacio Pepe doughnut ($4). The chilaquiles had corn tortilla chips, salsa Verde, salsa Macha, cotija, white onion, cilantro, and a fried egg. The chips appeared to be homemade, and they were tremendous along with the salsa Verde and Macha. There was a nice kick to the salsas and a perfect crunch from the chips. However, it just felt like the dish was mostly chips. I felt like more toppings could be added or an additional egg. The fried egg was also a little overcooked, guess when ordering, we could have specified how we wanted it to be cooked. The doughnut was okay. The sourdough base was very solid, but essentially just a lot of cheese on top. I was not sure what to expect regarding this type of doughnut, but this was the least optimal choice. Will I go back? I would. read more

I really enjoyed our visit here! Came around 11:15ish on a Saturday. We were luckily able to get a parking spot in the lot. The line was pretty long when we got there and waited around 15 minutes to order. Workers were all very kind. The menu has a variety of breakfast options, pizzas, sandwiches, and different bowls. It's hard to choose with all the options. Also lots of pastries and bread options that look delicious. The inside is kinda small with some seating and nice outdoor seating along the water. I ordered the sweet corn risotto balls and shawarma bowl. Both were very good. I was very hungry so it hit the spot. The risotto balls were nice and crispy with good flavor. The relish was a little spicy. The shawarma bowl was a good size with fresh vegetables. The chicken was cooked well. I thought the prices were very fair. I would definitely come back! read more

Though we were initially planning on Mystic Pizza, enough locals said don't bother that we decided to find another (better) place to satisfy our pizza craving. Nana's had great ratings and some interesting options so we gave it a go. Parking was easy. Though the place is small, they had tables so we were able to order at the counter and enjoy a nice dinner and not be bothered by the bitter cold outside. We got their clam pizza and the bolognese and both were incredible. So flavorful, so fresh. There was lots of moaning and chair dancing. The red wine was a perfect accompaniment as was the donut holes on the way out. If I live nearby, this place would be dangerous. read more

Could not recommend more. The place is small but soooo cute. Outdoor and indoor seating and bathroom available. Homemade bread and baked goods and everything is locally sourced. The spicy ceasar is the best, but you gotta pair it with a pizza! This is the butter chicken pizza- amazing. The staff always gives good recommendations as well. LOVE IT! read more

We had dinner here tonight after visiting Mystic Village and it was SO delicious. Standouts were the New England pizza, tom kha Kai, mezcal mocktail, and fudgy brownie. I was tempted to get a rotisserie chicken and sauce to go but will save it for next visit. Definitely recommend! read more

In theory sounds delicious. In reality... not so much. Sautéed green beans were not sautéed....or even cooked for that matter. Crispy kale was soggy. I could live with that if it tasted good. But it didn't, no flavor and very bland. Drove 20 minutes home to be disappointed. read more

We were visiting Conn College and one of the girls recommended this place for matcha. I asked for recs and she suggested below: We had mint chip matcha and Earl Grey matcha..delicious!!! My husband ordered the mocha! All Amazing. We also ordered the pizza. Bolognese and sweet potato pizza she recommended . Both were the best I've ever had! I recommend the sweet potato pizza if you're curious. You can't go wrong with any flavor!!! The sourdough crust was beyond amazing! The crunch did it for me! A gem of a place! We sat outside and enjoyed every minute while We were there. Of course the weather was gorgeous outside! Chilly but sunny!! Highly recommend the brownie too!!! read more

Important heads-up for anyone with a soy allergy This restaurant highlights its partnership with Moromi Shoyu and says it uses house-grown koji to add umami to foods ranging from its signature pizzas to morning pastries. Shoyu is traditionally a soy-based sauce, so if you have a soy allergy, please don't assume that foods like pizza or pastries are soy-free. Ask specifically about soy/shoyu ingredients and potential cross-contact before ordering. The menu sounds wonderful--this is simply an allergy awareness post for those of us (like me) who need to be extra careful. Unfortunately, I could not find anything on the menu to eat. read more

I mean I just love Nana's! We were driving through Mystic and I was pleasantly surprised to find this Nana's location on Yelp! It's behind an autoshop and I definitely had to circle twice to find it. Basically just park at the front of the auto shop and it's in the right back corner. I ordered the Life on Marzipan latte and it was delicious. I also enjoyed a peppermint cupcake. And I still stand strong with the statement that the Nana salad is the best salad out there. So delicious. We were here in winter so it was tight inside. Would love to come back when it's nice out and sit outside. The rotisserie chicken "bathed" in sauce is definitely on my to try list. read more

I came for breakfast as, surprisingly, during the week it was one of the only breakfast places around open at 7 (most local places don't open until 0800!). I had a coffee and the breakfast burrito. The onions absolutely made this burrito which was cooked to perfection. I ordered the GF coffee cake to go and it was equally delicious. I would come back here in a heartbeat and will tell any one of my friends who are in the area to do the same. Excellent restaurant well worth the money. read more

A delightful assortment of specialty lattes, donuts, and sandwiches/salads and located right by the water. Highlights include: - Any of their sandwiches. The chicken salad sandwich was light, with the mayo, but hearty enough with the toasted sourdough, which was really good. - Miso caramel coconut syrup. The extra $1 is worth it. The caramelized coconut is prominent. - Banana latte, if you want a subtle banana flavor but something still espresso forward. I opted to add the caramel syrup in there. - Pizza: they had a spicy Italian pizza, which was thin crust and had mortadella and spicy sausage with arugula on top. - Miso caramel donut - very soft. I'm usually not a fan (I prefer an old-fashioned donut), but I would get this again. Get the Cacio e Pepe donut if you want something different (it doesn't taste very cheesy) read more

Great donuts BUT the coffee was SO hot it was undrinkable. So make sure either get a double cup (preferred) or one of those sleeves (which always seem to slide down). read more

I went here for the first time today and it was so cute. They weren't serving breakfast anymore as it was 11:20 AM on a Saturday. So that was a little sad, but we got grilled cheese and some french fries. I asked for no onions, which they accidentally forgot, but it was still good. They have very few tables, but we ended up snagging them. The hot chocolate was so good and the food ended up being really good. Their ingredients taste very fresh and next time I will try the pizza. read more

Found myself on an overnight in Mystic with my daughter and needed a fast place to grab a bite to eat that allows for vegan and non vegan meals. Nana's bakery and pizza was a great choice. They have a variety of pizzas and sandwiches and some salads that will satisfy all eaters. My daughter had a cheese pizza (half pepperoni) and I had a vegan tofu wrap which had fresh veggies and a delicious sauce. The wrap was very satisfying and delicious and made for a nice fast dinner. Service is fast. Despite no more single slices of pizza being available, I had to get a full pie and it went quickly. The crust was perfectly crisp. The restaurant itself is small but has seating available for eat in - I opted for dine out. It is definitely in my radar the next time I find myself in Mystic for lunch or dinner. {They also serve breakfast.} read more

#29 in my NEW ENGLAND & NY COFFEE SHOP SERIES This place has been on my list for donuts and coffee! Unfortunately when I went it was 5pm and they were all out of donuts (as expected), but I did still get a coffee. I decided to get the life on marzipan latte ($5.50) which was surprisingly really good! I would definitely get it again. They also have some Spanish inspired drinks as well as many classic coffee drinks. In addition to bevs, they also have a huge food list. People typically like to get their flatbreads/pizzas! Inside is a little small, just 4 tables, but they have outdoor seating with a wonderful view which I recommend. Overall, I would come here again if I was in the area. read more

Great service and ever greater food, small cafe type thing right on some water with outdoor seating on water. Highly recommend

Nana’s Mystic - Matcha - Bakeries Near Me - Mystic, Connecticut

ok so if I could I'd give this a strong 3.7/5. Highlights- earl grey matcha with cold foam, sourdough cinnamon sugar donut. The reason it doesn't get a full 5 is because the mushroom toast was quite small, not very filling and lacked flavor. The french toast sticks were deeply fried (albeit good) -- would have preferred baked or on stove. The whipped cream cheese, granola and apple bites were quite special but small portion with the sticks. The egg sandwich with hash brown was good -- very yum hash brown but overall the two most important items to get: the matcha and SD donut- I'd easily say that was the best donut i've ever had and i've never had a SD donut before-- it was right out of the oven and perfectly soft, chewy and was a 10/10 - no notes. read more

We had a little bit of everything and the real stars were the cinnamon rolls and the French Toast Sticks! The spiced apple was a huge hit with my kiddos! I had the special ginger brew coffee was also amazing! read more

Oh Wow! Why I never been here before. I have been missing out. I have had the bread since numerous mystic restaurants serve it. But, if haven't been to the storefront like me we've all been missing out. The staff is attentive and friendly very happy to ask questions and give suggestions. Great Breakfast Sandwiches we tried the hash brown egg sandwich And the pesto egg and cheese sandwich. Both delicious. I did have some fomo since I got the Pesto, Egg and cheese and it was delicious but that house made Hash brown was heavenly. Oh and don't forget to try there made to order A sourdough donuts. We tried the chocolate glazed, vanilla, lemon sugar and miso caramel with oat crunch.... Get the miso caramel it's drippy and delicious the crunchy oat added a nice textural surprise. Can't wait to come back and try their lunch specials and pizza. read more

The setting is absolutely gorgeous, it's beautiful both indoors and outdoors. The staff is kind and the bakery selection looked good. The flatbread and mushroom breakfast with salad on the side tasted very good. If you prefer acidic foods/flavors, this is a great dish for you. Vinegar flavor throughout the plate and tastes fresh! I also ordered the Korean BBQ pizza which was on the menu for a bit. The flavors did not blend well together and did not resemble any Korean flavors. Unfortunately, it didn't taste good overall. The sauce was very overpowering and overtook all other flavors. read more

Just a heads-up: this review is based entirely on personal taste -- I know lots of folks love Nana's, and I really wanted to be one of them. Nana's Bakery & Pizza in Mystic is super cute -- warm, minimal decor with just the right touch of rustic charm. It's a small space inside, and since the weather wasn't playing nice, the outdoor seating wasn't an option during our visit. Inside, it felt a bit cramped, especially with folks ordering and picking up crowding around the few available tables. I can totally see it being a more relaxed and comfortable spot on a sunny day. Service was friendly but a bit slow -- it seemed like the person working the register was still getting familiar with the menu. Not a big deal, but worth noting if you're in a rush. We ordered the Margherita pizza with tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, and basil -- and added Seacoast Mushrooms. The sourdough crust was beautifully charred and had a nice crunch, but for us, the flavor of the crust overpowered everything else. The pizza leaned a bit dry, and overall just didn't quite hit the mark for our taste. On a more positive note -- the bread looked incredible, and the rotisserie chickens turning behind the counter were seriously tempting (even though I'm a pescatarian these days). If I find myself back in the area, I'd be interested in coming by for breakfast or trying one of their salads at lunch. Nana's is clearly thoughtful about their ingredients and process, with a focus on organic sourdough, fermentation, and local sourcing. It just wasn't quite the right fit for me this time. read more

This place was phenomenal to say the least. I came to this place solely for their fresh rosemary focaccia and they did not disappoint! We got there right around 11 & so happy we went when we did- we beat the biggest lunch crowd & got to enjoy our pizza outside on the picnic tables. I'm kinda happy I don't live locally or I'd be here every single day! Stay around long enough and you'll hear some beautiful singing by the guy by the pizza ovens! read more

We were visiting Mystic and stopped at Nana's for breakfast one morning. It was early in the morning but already bustling with diners. There are several tables outside with a lovely water view. We ordered the egg sandwich, hash brown egg sandwich, a cinnamon sugar sourdough doughnut and a loaf of sourdough sandwich bread. It took awhile to receive our order because they were so busy but it was worth the wait. The doughnut was so light and fluffy! The egg sandwiches were some of the best we've ever had. You can really taste all the care they put into each component. I'm glad we took a loaf of bread home so we can enjoy it throughout the week. We'll definitely be back next time we go to Mystic. read more

So good! Traveling through the state and this place has great reviews so we ordered ahead. The breaddddddd is not to be missed! My tomato sandwich was perfect for a July day! The latte was also outstanding! The chocolate chip cookies have a different sort of flavor but were great. Donuts interesting too. Definitely give this cute place a try. Outside seating a plus! read more

My partner and I came here a few Saturdays ago. The line was at the door and took about 10 minutes. The place is small inside but has cute vibes and the outside area has a good amount of space with a beautiful view of the water. There is a bathroom inside for those who are wondering! We got the chocolate glazed and vanilla lemon sugar sourdough donuts- both excellent choices with a soft chewy-ish texture. We also got their house egg sandwich and mushroom toast- we really liked the sauces on both and how everything paired so well in the dishes. We would definitely come back when we're in the area!? read more

This place can be a 10 out of 12 if they just did something with the sauce for their pizza. The bread and everything about the pizza was amazing. The sauce basically made it inedible. No exaggeration really have never had such terrible sauce.. I don't know if this was a fluke or anything. This place came highly recommended. However, I still think I would come back and just get their bread. The dough on this pizza was 10. It was truly amazing. Might go there just make some French bread pizzas in my own house with their bread and my sauce. read more

Nanas it's such a fantastic spot as a café/lunch spot. They have some tables in the dining area now. I got their breakfast bacon sandwich and it was delicious. It would need more chipotle sauce, though for the next time. Also got some donuts which were as delicious as they were before soft dough sourdough. Also got a pepperoni pizza and added hot honey, and that was delicious. My pro tip would be to go between breakfast and lunch. You can get both meals. Definitely recommend and come back. read more

I want this Nana to be my Nana! A true chef and pastry mastermind. This lunchtime treat hit the spot. I was driving through Connecticut on a road trip and a local relative recommended I stop and try a Nana's pizza along with some coffee and dessert. My mom and I arrived just before noon to a small and quiet back corner cafe. We were greeted so warmly by the staff! Seriously, props to the workers. They answered all of our questions and helped us make our selections-but I'm quite sure nothing could be bad here. After much deliberation we ordered a margarita pan pie. We sat at one of the few indoor tables overlooking the water and noticed how busy the place got at the stroke of noon. It seemed we arrived just in time. Heads up that you'll likely wait if you come with the lunch rush-totally worth it though. The staff was efficient and kept things moving. First bite of pizza left us with a pleasant surprise! We realized that the crust is sourdough! We LOVE sourdough and it was very unexpected. A different twist on pizza. I won't say it's the best pizza in the world but it's certainly a nice spin. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was light and crispy and their sauce was absolutely divine. Slightly on the sweet side. I'd totally buy a jar if they sold it! Nana, if you read this send me some sauce? We jumped back on the line for treats because they looked way to good to pass up. My mom did the cinnamon roll and I did the Bostock apple pastry. Added a "not"tella coffee and I want to cry at how good it all was. I'm basically considering a move to Mystic for this. The pastries are so generous in size, you can totally share! But I didn't so no judgement if you eat the whole thing alone *wink* Run don't walk to Nana's! They have all the baked goodies you can imagine. And of course pizzas and other lunch specials. Small place located in the back of a strip situated pleasantly on the water. read more

I can't say enough good things about Nana's. The food is delicious, so flavorful and light, yet filling. I had the Greek Pizza, and it's so perfectly topped with olives and feta and brushed with oil. My wife had their burger, and likewise everything about it was what you'd want in a burger. Cooked perfectly, not greasy, full of flavor. To drink we had one of the current specials, a nutty coconut mocha iced latte. I've never had a bad drink here. They're so creative with the recipes, and the espresso itself is high quality and shots are well pulled. The girls who work here are all so polite and attentive, and they always interact nicely with our toddler. My wife wants to own a coffee shop someday, and she always says the vibe here is exactly what she'd want. Not overdecorated, but it's got a decided style that keeps it feeling homey while you're inside. The string lights outside are a nice touch, though I've never been here late enough to see them lit. I'll be back many times, you should visit! read more

Clear your schedule. I was one of 4 customers in the store and only ordered soup to go... when I placed the order the woman at the counter had asked to warm it up. After 20 min I asked where my soup was and the girl prepping food says "do you want us to warm it?". At that point I had to catch a train so I had to take it cold. Sucks I can't enjoy it. read more

Delicious baked goods. Sleek fun decor. Friendly service. Can't go wrong. Bring back the olive bread please!!

Nana's Mystic was recommended by a trusted friend and I'm glad I ventured there during my trip to Mystic! It was a walk from where we parked and I had trouble locating the entrance but once we did, we found a hidden oasis! I wish I had gone to Nana's earlier during the trip so we could have visited more than once. I ordered Nana's egg sandwich and it was the perfect combination of flavors! It was homey with a pleasant twist from the onion and sage. Regrettably they had run out of the Portuguese bread and so I had the sandwich on brioche, which was also good! I wanted to try their pizzas as well. They sounded outstanding! Next time I visit Mystic, I'll be back for lunch! read more

Stopped in for lunch the other day and ordered a couple of pizza's. I wish we had ordered just one pizza and split it for 4 people to leave room for desert because the donuts going out of there looked awfully good. That said, their pizza is wonderful. The crust had a perfect "chew", the sauce had a wonderful tomato flavor, and the pepperoni was nice. They were pretty busy with other order's, so it took like 30 minutes for our pizza to come out, but it was worth waiting for. The seating area is pretty small, but we found a table near the windows. They do a big carry out business, so it wasn't like we had anyone breathing down our neck for our table. I wish I could come back for their bakery but I live a couple thousand miles away :-( read more

Nana's fulfills an important role in Mystic as the only place approximating a coffee shop. It's much more than that: they have a full array of creative options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also inherited the rotisserie chicken of the sadly defunct Grass & Bone and have maintained that well. The rotisserie chicken with their chicken fat roasted potatoes and veggies with Szechuan chili crunch makes an excellent to-go dinner. Be sure to get the garlic aioli dipping sauce. I always get two! read more
