Spend a Fall Day in Mystic

The first stop on your list is grabbing coffee and breakfast at a local cafe such as PopOver Eatery or Sift, where there are both sweet and savory options to choose from and of course, fall themed drinks and pastries.

If you’re ready to brave the crowds (and sometimes the bees!), head over to B.F. Clyde’s Cider Mill to visit the oldest steam powered cider mill in the United States, and home to some of the most delicious cider and donuts around.  Make sure to try their boozy cider slushies too!

For the shopping enthusiast, you can’t go wrong with a stop at Olde Mistick Village. With over 40 shops and eateries, there’s something for everyone. As you stroll through the village, enjoy the fall decor and their Scarecrows in the Village display, through October 31st.

A quick stop at Whittle’s Willow Spring Farm makes for the perfect photo opp, and is also home to a farm stand and pumpkin patch.

Now that the evenings are getting chillier, warm up at one of downtown Mystic’s cozy restaurants, such as The Port of Call, Via Emilia, or Bravo Bravo. The inviting ambiance, paired with delectable food and craft cocktails, makes these spots perfect for a romantic dinner or a relaxing night out with friends. Whether you’re in the mood for elegant Italian cuisine or a waterfront view, these local gems are ideal for enjoying the crisp fall nights.  

Cap off your adventure with a stop at Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream to try their new fall flavors, Pumpkin Pie and Cider Donut Sundae!
