Lighthouse Bakery

Just moved to the area. Without a doubt my favorite place to grab morning pastries on the weekend. The couple are really sweet and the homemade bread is phenomenal

I read about your bakery in the August 23 Hartford Courant article by Susan Campbell. I’m sorry about the narrow-​minded harassment you’ve been receiving from the town of Stonington! I hope a lawyer takes your case pro bono and makes the town clean up its act. In the meantime, next time we’re in the area we will be sure to visit your shop – we all love bread, and some of us have a serious sweet tooth.

You have never had such incredible delicious bread as the bread baked and sold at Lighthouse. It’s like I’ve died and gone to heaven, and I’m not even really a bread person.
Nicest people you’ve ever met, too. It’s no wonder local restaurants have decided to make Lighthouse’s fare a regular staple in their establishments.
Please give Lighthouse a try. You won’t regret it!

Excellent! I happened to stop in and it reminded me of my favorite neighborhood bakery when I lived in Spain. The aroma of fresh bread was delightful and they have the perfect balance of breads and sweet treats. I had an amazing raspberry shortbread bar that was delicious and not too sweet. I will be returning again and again!

I’m definitely a fan and my wife is a rabid aficionado. After a year of driving past the entrance to the Lighthouse we finally stopped off to give it a try after the other restaurant we had hoped to dine at had not yet opened (hey it was 8 am and this is kind of a resort town). I was kind of leery at first. The shop is a couple of table separated from the bakery by the display case and the cash register… very open plan.
We ordered our breakfast fare, I, a burrito and MK an omelet. Since this was our first time, the owner compted us a brownie to go with our coffee while we waited.(Nice touch No. 1). A very good brownie at that.
My burrito was the best I’ve had in the Mystic area and more than filling. MK love the omelet which was served with toast made from the Lighthouse French bread.
As it was a week day and not busy, we heard the history of the place. Briefly, its the owners’ dream.(To me a 100 hour a week job in a low margin business is kind of a nightmare, but to each his own, and what else can you do with a
chemistry.) It does, however, mean that every thing is a matter of personal pride and as such you can expect it to be great.
On the way out we were given a sample of the Napoleon then being made, excellent flakey pastry, excellent crème Anglais.
Not only is the Lighthouse a family favorite, its now the source of bread and pastry.

What a find! Followed a sign to a building behind a building. Had sandwiches and pastries. Everything was simple, but incredibly fresh and delicious.

I am absolutely shocked about the negative review of the lighthouse bakery. They may not have the largest selection but all the food is cooked to order and the breads, pastries, etc. are made in house, fresh every day. The owners are a lovely husband and wife who are truly appreciative of their customers. I haven’t had anything that isn’t absolutely amazing. The veggie omelet served with a warm, buttered baguette is to die for. Their pastries, i.e. cinnamon buns, danishes, blueberry buckle are sinful. They’re also dog friendly, always putting out fresh water for our dogs, which is so great. I love to support the local business with a fantastic product.

This is basically a no nonsense bakery located just off of Main Street, directly across from the Whaler’s Inn.
A word of caution… the owner (he speaks broken English) doesn’t have a very large selection. It’s probably because he doesn’t get a lot of walk-​in traffic to warrant it. But if you’re not picky, chances are you can find something you like. I’ve gotten various turnovers and muffins in the past and can’t complain.
Prices are reasonable. Some tables and chairs are placed directly outside in front.

Family owned bakery tucked away off the Main Street in Mystic. Breakfast sandwiches use real eggs. Nice quiet, extremely private back patio with tables and umbrellas outside.
Nice spot.

Little bakery tucked away behind the post office figured we would give it a chance since we stumbled across it.
Not much of a section as we perused the cases. We opted for the macaroons and baklava.
Macaroons were dry and tasteless. By the following morning the other half was as hard as a rock. The baklava was burned at the bottom and it tasted just that way.
Very disappointing.
