New in Norwalk: MaaMa Café has opened at 132B Washington Street in South Norwalk (with easy parking in the N. Water St. lot). Restaurateurs Andrea Archvadze and Akaki Andguladze recently introduced their authentic Georgian restaurant Cheese & Bread in June 2024 at 68 Washington St. Its new name. MaaMa Georgian Food, will take effect soon. Now, they are thrilled to announce the opening of their European-inspired coffee house and eatery, MaaMa Café. The duo had been eyeing a second location on the block to bring their café concept to life. MaaMa Café is rooted in “real coffee,“ says Akaki, referring to the quality of coffee beans. Esse Café is used for its rich espresso and cappuccino beverages. Beautiful multilayer cakes, pastries, desserts, breakfast yogurt parfaits, and savory items such as paninis, sandwiches, and fresh salads, can be enjoyed throughout the day. MaaMa Café’s design aesthetic plays to the intimate space and a relaxed and uplifting atmosphere. Mismatched, colorful furnishings and eclectic artwork fill the room. Its storefront window is adorned with a whimsy of dangling teacups. Open every day from 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., guests are greeted with funny anecdotes for the day, artfully displayed on a sidewalk chalkboard. Learn more at @maama_cafe_ @cityofnorwalk @norwalk_ct

Norwalk Town Green (8 Park Street)

RAIN OR SHINE!

One of the most impactful things you can do on Earth Day is to volunteer for a cleanup or a tree-planting event in your community. Your action directly addresses environmental concerns and helps promote a sense of collective responsibility for the planet.

Our vibrant event will feature live music, food trucks, tree planting, yoga, kid’s activities, guest speakers, a beer garden and picnic grove, vendors, healing arts, and more!

Pre-event clean-ups start at 9:30 a.m., prior to moving to the Norwalk Green (8 Park St.) from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

Learn what you can do to green your own life and call for climate action. Our Festival brings together a wide variety of environmental nonprofits, sustainable businesses, speakers, kids’ activities, and engaging and interactive displays – all in an effort to raise awareness of what we can do to have a positive impact on protecting the environment. See how small behavioral changes can in fact, make a big impact on healing the earth-- as well as ourselves.

Come connect with like-minded individuals and groups all working together! Rain or shine!
