The Granola Bar, a Westport-based restaurant, will open a second location in Greenwich on Friday, May 27. The eatery offers “food for real” – modern, healthy twists on traditional dishes. Owners Julie Mountain and Dana Noorily, who opened their first location in Westport in 2013, are excited to bring their innovative and locally sourced breakfast and lunch options to Greenwich residents at 41 Greenwich Avenue.
“We are thrilled to expand to Greenwich and share our delicious and healthy dishes. Everyone can find a menu favorite here. We cater to every whim and every taste – from paleo salads to bacon-egg-and-cheese,” says Noorily. “We have designed a modern, warm space we hope Greenwich residents and neighboring communities will find fun and inviting.”
“Bottom line: We love food!” said Mountain. “We offer a breadth of real food for people just like us. Some days we want a green juice and other days we want a bagel with cream cheese and cured salmon (aka. “The Bubby”). But at The Granola Bar, we offer salmon we cure in-house, and if you don’t want cream cheese, we also have a non-dairy cashew “cream” option. This is food for real life.”
The Granola Bar Greenwich customers will be introduced to several original and innovative dishes that the co-owners, Mountain and Noorily, and Director of Operations, Neil Rohricht have designed. Some menu favorites are avocado toast, house-cured salmon and freshly made salads and drinks such as Toby’s Estate coffee, Greenwich-based Rise’s nitro-infused, organic cold brew coffee and signature smoothies. Among the sandwiches on the menu are the Bababooey, the Almond Chicken Salad Club and the Portabella Hadid sandwiches. Salads include the Modern Farmly and the Soho Salad.
Built James Bargas, Inc., and general contractor Chris Bargas, the new 2700-square-foot restaurant will offer extensive seating, an eat-in bar and a large take-out section for people on the go. The Granola Bar will be open seven days a week, Mondays to Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Corporate and private party catering will also be available in the Greenwich location, as well as a daily coffee and baked goods delivery service to local businesses.
