"I bicycle to Mystic once a year and, for the past few years, have always looked forward to ending one of my nights at Sift. I 've had some phenomenal baked goods in my life, so I 'm not going to go overboard and say that Sift is the best bakery I 've ever been to; however, I WILL say that it 's right up there with the best. Aside from the brownies and other pastries, it 's the VIBE of Sift that accounts for about 80% of its awesomeness. Located just off Rt. 1 in downtown Mystic, within a short walk of some really good restaurants, it has a wraparound porch with outdoor seating that 's ideal for people watching. At certain times of the day, the bells of a nearby church can almost lull you to sleep while you 're sipping your coffee. The line at Sift can be long, and in my experience, they often run out of stuff well before closing time, but it should be noted that my experience is pretty much limited to Sunday and Monday nights. Overall, I highly recommend Sift to all Mystic visitors."
