In the space of a few weeks, 2 bookstores (Barnes & Noble, Westport Book Shop) and 2 restaurants (Basso, Capuli) opened downtown. Calico came too. All brought a new buzz to the area.
Turns out, they’re just the advance party. The cavalry is coming soon.
Mrs. London’s Boutique Bakery- for 20 years a fixture in Saratoga Springs, New York — replaces Aux Delices on Church Lane, at the foot of Elm Street.
They (she?) feature pastries, baguettes, croissants, grilled sandwiches, paninis, salads, quiches, soups, “decadent desserts,” espressos and teas. Ingredients are organic, locally grown and sourced.

Mrs. London’s desserts.
There’s more! Il Pastificio of Greenwich will open on the Post Road next to Nefaire Spa — just a couple of doors from Capuli.
They offer individual pastas and antipastos, salads, focaccias and desserts; pasta and ravioli trays, plus fresh, uncooked pasta and ravioli by the pound (and sauce!). There’s free delivery for orders over $60.
Looking forward to a sit-down meal? A new restaurant will take over the old Tavern on Main.
Still on the Main Street horizon: Sundance, Oka and State & Liberty.
Glowbar — a makeover place — moves in next to Madison Reed on Elm Street.
Tailored Home is coming to Sconset Square.
All should be open by late spring or early summer.
Charge!
