Uncle Matt's is overall overpriced. It takes a long time so preordering is kind of the move. I only really go for the breakfast sandwiches. Went once for some cookies and treats to bring to a party and they just weren't good. First it was like $4 per rainbow cookie and they were actually terrible. Super dry. And didn't even taste like a traditional rainbow cookie. Also got a dirt bomb. Literally as dry as a dirt bomb would be. The macarons were decent but that's about it. Afraid to spend the money to try other things. It all just really isn't worth the price.

Did you know of this hidden gem is located inside of Uncle Matt's Bakery & Cafe? Let me tell you, this is a must! Kash & Liv coffee sets the bar high with their values; they make people feel a part of their family and are welcomed every visit. Plus they are dedicated to their community & give back through charity events each year. Their coffees flavors are made from scratch all using local ingredients (like Maple Craft). You can't not stop in without grabbing some of their amazing bake goods daily in the café. Truly a spot that many people don't know about and is 100% worth trying. Key Features: Side parking lot, outdoor patio is lovely on a nice day! Indoor seating smaller tables to work at or meet people. A variety of pastry/bread options to pick from. Their iced beverages are a good size for the value. Every Sunday there is always a fun pairing (coffee and cube/croissant) to look forward to. Service is always fast when visiting.

Stopped in here recently with my wife, first time visitor. Amazing pastry case full of top notch baked goods. We each ordered a coffee and a pastrami and egg sandwich. I opted for a plain coffee with cream my wife got a latte of some kind. I was very surprised at the quality of the coffee, would go back here again just for that. My egg sandwich on a biscuit was out of the park, my wife's egg sandwich on an everything bagel was equally as delicious. Looking forward to making an excuse to stop in here again.

I'm leaving 4 jStars because I've had products from here before, and they were fantastic. I'm leaving this review because I want the buyer to beware ... Typically, I'll get regular baked goods and are completely satisfied with the product. However, today I decided to order two gluten-free blueberry cakes for someone in the household with a gluten allergy. They are roughly the size of a drakes cake coffee cake. As well, I ordered an everything bagel. The total came out to $16.83. The bagels are $2.50 so You do the math to determine the cost of those bite-size gluten-free cakes. I find this completely unreasonable and unfriendly towards anyone with a gluten allergy. The bagel is $2.50... The bagel was not up to par to what it usually is. Again, I'm leaving 4 stars because my only gripe is the price.

The bread and baked goods are delicious, the staff is friendly and it's probably the best coffee place around but I can't give five stars because the interior is very run down and not in a shabby chic way in a there's insulating foam falling out of the fireplace way. This place usually sells out and stays busy so it's unclear why they can't invest a little bit in the overall cleanliness and aesthetic of the place. With that said I'll keep coming here because it's the best option around.

Don’t bother walking into this place. No one greeted me but I was stared at by an employee and they just turned around. I’ve never felt so uncomfortable in a deli setting. Also, prices are outrageous for a dried up croissant. I will not be attempting to go here again.

I ordered an Italian combo sandwich. They asked me if I wanted fries. I said yes these are regular fries in this photograph. They have zero salt on them and they are absolutely greasy and disgusting. I'm scared to eat the sandwich or the muffin I ordered.

I hosted a holiday brunch at my house today and decided to serve an avocado toast bar using Uncle Matt's sourdough and multigrain breads. They were both an absolute hit. With the leftovers we ended up using the bread for "breakfast for dinner" egg sandwiches. The loaves of bread are fresh and mighty. For an additional dollar the staff will pre slice the bread. Coffee was also excellent. We have tried their croissants on other occasions and were enamored by their flavor and flakiness. We love supporting this local business!
Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, great food and coffee. Love that they have seasonal flavors for coffee, try the gingerbread because it's delicious!

Everyone needs Uncle Matt's bakery! Quality, freshly baked goods. No matter what I get, I have to add a biscuit every time I'm here. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is... its a little dirty/dusty/sticky feeling inside. I hope the kitchen is much cleaner than the customer area...but if it wasn't I can't say that'll stop me from frequenting this place haha. Also, the staff overall are friendly.

I love croissants and I am always looking to find a bakery that makes the best croissants. I've tried many bakeries in NYC and also in CT. I stopped by Uncle Matt's today and tried my usual order when I try out a new bakery - plain croissant and a baguette. The croissant has to be one of the best I've tried in CT. It was so flaky on the outside, slightly chewy on the inside. Buttery but not too oily. I wish it had a little bit more color to it. The price is comparable to other bakeries I've tried. The baguette was also great, though the crust was a bit tough, the inside was perfectly moist. I can't comment on their breakfast/lunch menu but it seemed like they had great number of options. The coffee was subpar, I ordered an oat latte but it was a bit watery. Overall, I'd definitely come back for their baked goods! Happy to find another bakery near me

Absolutely stellar baked goods, excellent and varied coffee options (today I had a Gingerbread latte) and a delicious bacon egg and cheddar on a brioche. Friendly service and outdoor seating. The inside is cute. So many options for fresh bread and pastries! This was the second time my husband and I came and it def won't be the last !
