Coming & Goings: Stand Juice Company to Post Road East

The Stand Juice Company, “a vegan cafe with a homey feel,” according to Lead Juice Jockey Alina Choquette (above), has opened at 1200 Post Road East, behind Crate & Barrel. Choquette said the Stand Juice Company, founded by Mike and Carissa Hvizdo, who also own the Hideaway Farm in East Haddam, sources many of its vegetables, herbs and fruits from the farm. The Hvizdos opened their first store on Norwalk’s Wall Street in 2005, in Fairfield in 2011, and will soon open its fourth in Greenwich in November and another later in Stamford. Choquette, a Bridgeport resident and staff member for two years, said, “Everything is recyclable and local. We’re all about sustainability.”  Stand Juice Company’s range of offerings includes baked goods, juices smoothies and salads. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
