Mrs. London’s Opens her Doors Today

After nearly one year since the pink awning and sign were put up: Mrs. London’s Bakery & Cafe will open their doors at noon today to an excited Westport community.

The artisan bakery offers fresh pastries, breads, and other baked goods along with other quintessential cafe favorites. The space has been completely transformed into a chic, inviting dining area over the past year - with the typical supply change delays delaying everything from refrigerators to seating, according to the owner and newly adopted Westport neighbor.

They’ll be open today noon until 7:00 as last minute touches are added, but will open at 7:00 in the mornings normally.
