About This Spot

Stepping into Somewhere In Time feels like returning to a familiar, sunlit corner of an old friend’s home. Nestled along Gold Star Highway in Mystic, this cozy café carries a gentle, unhurried rhythm that invites you to settle in and savor the simple joy of morning. The walls whisper stories of past breakfasts while the subtle hum of friendly chatter and the occasional clink of mugs create a welcoming soundtrack to your visit.

The atmosphere here embraces the warmth of an approachable neighborhood spot, where the pace never rushes but moves with considerate ease—even on those bustling weekend mornings when the place naturally swells with locals and visitors alike. It’s a space where new acquaintances are made over shared love for thoughtfully crafted breakfasts and familiar comforts. The attentive staff’s kindness adds to the feeling that you’re truly cared for, a little pause in the day with genuine human moments woven in.

The heart of the experience lies in how thoughtfully traditional breakfast flavors are reimagined—imagine the comforting richness of banana bread, transformed into golden French toast, or the satisfying warmth of sausage gravy poured with care over freshly toasted sourdough. There’s an ease to the menu that welcomes every palate, whether you seek something hearty to start the day or a lighter, familiar favorite paired with perfectly brewed coffee or spiced hot chocolate. Portions lean generously, inviting you to linger over your meal without feeling rushed.

More than just a breakfast spot, Somewhere In Time captures a sense of place where community pulses softly through every table and the charm of a timeless morning is captured without haste. Its blend of cozy decor, warm service, and a menu that balances the nostalgic with the unexpected makes it a quietly memorable chapter in any day spent exploring Mystic.

This is my all time favourite breakfast place. The staff are super friendly and responsive, and they really try to clear tables as fast as possible so even on the busiest Sunday morning it's usually not too long of a wait. I really appreciate that they let you get coffee while you wait too! The food selection is fantastic, literally something for everyone. The serving sizes are GENEROUS, like I don't think I've cleaned my plate once in the decade I've been going here (but don't worry they have boxes to go). My favorite thing is their house made herb and sausage gravy they serve over sourdough toast. Not in a southern way, but a uniquely delicious way.

The service was great, the staff kind and friendly even though busy. The atmosphere gives that wonderful old time homey feel. The toasted coconut coffee was the best I have had in a long time. I never would have thought to make french toast from banana bread but it was amazing. And my husband had the sausage gravy. It was so very good and tasted like real sausage not processed yuck. If we were local it would be our new regular breakfast place. Oh - and you can get the amazing coffee in a to go cup!

Try the banana bread french toast! Sooooo good. Everything was delicious and the staff is so so sweet. And the decor is just adorable. I'm from out of town, but came two days in a row since I loved it so much!

This was our first time going. A nice cozy spot. The staff was very nice. Everything we ate was delicious. My fiance said it's one of the best breakfast he's ever had and he's a foodie. He's a navy man and has been around the world so he has a lot to compare it to.

While driving around we spotted this place and decide to stop in. We were put on the wait list and were told 25 minutes as it was quite busy at noon. We only waited about 15 minutes. They serve breakfast all day which is great! After looking at the menu I decided on the Rueben with Pastrami which comes with chips (fries are not available). My boyfriend got the Sausage gravy on Sourdough with scrambled eggs and home fries. Everything was so delicious! Highly recommend stopping by. Definitely will be back!

I highly recommend the Turkey club sandwich. It’s not made with deli meat. They actually roast their own turkey breast! So Delicious!!!

The best sausage and gravy! Served on sourdough it was delicious. It’s a nice feature having self serve coffee, six varieties and you can make it how you like. Old 50’s style dinner tables and chairs. It really has a nice homey feel and great food! We will be back
