Green & Tonic, a health-focused café chain, will be opening its third Greenwich location on Monday, Sept. 22.
“We’re thrilled to bring Green & Tonic to Old Greenwich and continue growing within the Greenwich community,” Green & Tonic CEO Fausto Mieres said in a news release. “At Green & Tonic, our mission has always been to make clean eating simple, accessible and delicious — and each new location is an opportunity to share that mission with more people.”
The chain transformed the home of the former Sound Beach Sportswear shop, located at 239 Sound Beach Ave., into a modern wellness and sustainability oasis with hues of grey, brown and tiny pops of color. The café features an infamous grass wall with a neon sign that reads, “Nourish Your Soul,” and a salad station, where guests can customize a salad in a convenient on-the-go bowl, according to the release.
Green & Tonic will offer breakfast, lunch and dinner options from smoothies and salads to grab-and-go meals, snacks, juice cleanses and catering, according to the company's website. The café will also offer meal boxes, a customizable way to create two to five days worth of meals and snacks and the newly launched Vita Coco Strawberry Mango Matcha Cloud, a limited-edition drink special in collaboration with Vita Coco. The café has also recently expanded its offerings to include organic chicken and pasture-raised eggs, according to the release.
Green & Tonic will hold its grand opening for the new Sound Beach Avenue location on Monday and the first 50 customers that visit will receive a free tote. The company will also be offering $1 hot or iced drinks all day. There will also be a month-long smoothie creation contest where customers of all ages can submit their own custom smoothie idea and the winner will have their smoothie featured on the menu and receive a $100 Green & Tonic gift card.
"We look forward to becoming part of the daily rhythm in (Old Greenwich), offering neighbors a place for wellness, convenience and connection,” Mieres said.
Founded in 2012, Green & Tonic now has nine locations across Fairfield and Westchester Counties including this Old Greenwich location, a recently opened location in the Glenville neighborhood of Greenwich, a location in Cos Cob in Greenwich, Darien, New Canaan, Westport, Stamford, Rye Brook, N.Y. and Chappaqua, N.Y.
The Green & Tonic Sound Beach Avenue location will be open daily Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
