Lis Bakery

15 Holmes Street, Mystic, CT

February 2012

The warm baked goods from Lis Bakery in Mystic, CT  beckoned us in from the cold on a gray February afternoon.   

Lis Bakery is hidden down a side street just a short walk from the draw bridge. Just outside Lis’ front door is the Mystic River with great views of the seaport, a wonderful location to sit and indulge in your cupcakes especially during the warmer months.

The interior of this little bake shop can be described as quaint and the glass cases are filled with baked goods that are sure to remind you of your childhood. 

 We decided to taste the Black Bottom Cupcake; a chocolate cake with chocolate chips, a cream cheese filling and chocolate frosting, and the Almond Joy Cupcake; a cupcake crowned with toasted coconuts.

The cupcakes were rich, moist and flavorful. Todd favored the Black Bottom Cupcake; giving it just 1 point shy of a perfect score with the Almond Joy not far behind. Aidan was not a fan of the Almond Joy but said the Black Bottom was one of the best cupcakes he ever ate. Anne and Bridget agreed that although the cupcakes were very flavorful and moist; they were a little lacking in presentation.  No matter what, the next time you are in Mystic, Lis Bakery is well worth a visit!

I know we will DEFINETLY be back!
