We started 2026 off with a gimme.
Our first Photo Challenge of the new year showed a tray of delicious chocolate frosted, powdered and plain donuts, on a counter.
It could only be Coffee An’.
The Westport institution is beloved by many.
A record 48 readers knew exactly where to find Marina Drasnin’s photo. (Click here to see.)
And — like visitors to the Main Street store — the correct responses came from a mix of regulars and newcomers.
Congratulations to Sandra Howard, Pat Saviano, Seth Braunstein, Todd Ehrlich, Dave Eason, Matt Murray, Barbara Mathias, Lynn Wilson, Sal Liccione, Joan Lipson, Dan Vener, Ed Simek, Matt McGrath, Mike Hibbard, Mickey Herbst, Chris Swan, Rob Hauck, Dan Ashley, Bryan Schwartz, Rachel Sara Halperin, Pete Powell, Seth Schachter, Steve Stein, Andrew Colabella, Suzanne Atkins, Linda Vita Velez, Fred Levin, Rick Benson, Sharon Yules, Jack Krayson, Janine Scotti, Patty Lynch, Evin Dubrow, Jalna Jaeger, Richard Hyman, Katie Phillis, Jonathan McClure, Ann Franzen, Robert Mitchell, Regi Kendig, Christy Charise, Alex Knopp, Ryan Heemeyer, Deb Alderson, Linda Pomerantz Novis, Cat Malkin, Bobbi Essagof and Barbara Wong.
You all earned yourselves an extra treat today.
In fact, the only disagreement was on the punctuation of the donut shop.
Readers called it Coffee ‘An, Coffee An and Coffee And.
For the record, it’s Coffee An’.
An’ it’s delicious.
Our second Photo Challenge of the Year is (moderately) harder. If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.

What was name of Donuts An in the 1960s and early 70s? We purchased donuts every weekend back in the day. Best donuts ever. Our neighbor who eventually was chef at major Westport restaurant baked donuts there in weekends.
