Manna Toast Release:

Thank You

Manna Toast will be closing at the end of this year. To all our customers, partners, local farms and suppliers, and our myriad of supporters—thank you! Each and every one of you has been an integral part of Manna Toast. 

We started in 2020, bravely opening during the height of the pandemic, with a mission and purpose. Since then we've served almost 30,000 customers and helped inspire a cultural shift towards plant-based eating. We’ve educated many about the value of supporting local food initiatives and lowering our collective impact on the environment by composting over 15,000 pounds of food waste and consistently investing in compostable and recyclable packaging. To say we're proud of what we accomplished would be an understatement. 

In addition, we provided well-paying jobs during one of the most economically challenging times in our history and want to thank our loyal employees that have been with us since the beginning.

We also want to thank the Westport Community and the Town of Westport’s wide range of departments (health, building, P&Z, Fire, Police, Board of Selectman) who supported our new business launch and efforts to help revitalize downtown.

Initially, our operations were designed for rapid growth, with the intention of opening multiple cafes across Fairfield County, but unfortunately in the current labor market, in our segment of the restaurant industry, and due to varying priorities in our personal and business lives, we’ve chosen not to invest in scaling the business. It's our hope that others will go forward and build on the success we’ve had in serving this wonderful community. 

Please enjoy your Manna favorites over the next 3 weeks—place a takeout or delivery order, or visit us in the cafe and let us thank you in person and end the year with health and happiness. (click here to order)

Sincerely, the Manna Toast Family
