Over the course of the last few years, we’ve been able to open more world-class dining establishments that have really transformed our property into a food & beverage destination. We’re really excited to see the continued success of Sift Bake Shop and A.T.Y Bar & Bonbons, especially at our new location.”
“We are so thrilled to be the newest addition to Mohegan Sun,” said Adam Young. “Sift has grown significantly over the past 10 years and to be able to scale, you really have to be surrounded by people who buy into and understand your vision. In our case, that includes the spirit of hospitality and being committed to the service of others, and that is something that I have found during my time working with Mohegan Sun. We certainly hope we bring a little delight to everyone, and we look forward to welcoming each and every one of our new guests.”
Sift Bake Shop is a 2,930 square-foot bakery that features a variety of artisanal breads, breakfast pastries, and sweet & savory delights.
