Coronavirus Exposure Temporarily Shuts Down Westport Coffee Shop

WESTPORT, CT — Exposure to the coronavirus has led the owners of the Westport coffee shop GG & Joe to close until April 22, according to a sign on the door of the Parker Harding Plaza spot.

Unlike the two Starbucks in town, GG & Joe, which opened last year, has allowed indoor seating over the past few months, one of the few coffee shops in Westport to do so.

The owners said the temporary closure over the weekend was out of caution.

"We are doing so in order to provide a safe environment for our employees and customers," the sign on the door read. "Thank you to everyone who has supported our shop. We look forward to getting back up and running soon!"
