Coffee An’ Donuts Missed by Locals, Re-Opens Tomorrow December 9, 2020 James Bairaktaris Coffee An’ Donuts has served generations of Westporters their famous warm donuts, buttery pastries, and cheesy breakfast sandwiches from the classic horseshoe countertop. The living time-capsule of a restaurant sits among a newly updated Main Street shopping center and several new businesses, however many are happy that the shop and friendly staff haven’t changed a bit in decades. Customers were reminded this week that even Coffee An’ isn’t invincible - the restaurant’s staff announced through a sign on the front door its temporary closure due to a COVID-19 exposure. This type of closure has been experienced by many area restaurants and stores, and allows for contact tracing, cleaning procedures, and proper quarantining. The message written on the back of a paper placemat served as a (literal) sign of the times. However another sign later appeared on their front door: “We will open Thursday, Dec. 10th". Customers rejoiced, and are looking forward to the reopening tomorrow as they’ll patiently await their coffee, donuts, an’ conversation at one of the oldest, most resilient businesses on Main Street.
