Darien's Latest Eatery: Palmwich Opens 'Real Food Drive-Thru' on Post Rd.

Palmwich opens its Real Food Drive-Thru, a delicious solution to the real-life problem of finding healthy food on-the-go. Palmwich unites two things rarely seen together, Real Food and Drive Thru!

With a creative and inspiring menu that offers hand-held sandwiches, chopped salads, and sippable soups that are easy to eat on the run, consumers seeking a more nutritious option will be able to select from a variety of items that are wholesome, natural, freshly made and delicious.

The first Palmwich opened at 205 Post Rd. in Darien on May 20. The Darien location is drive-thru only to accommodate today’s busy lifestyle with the understanding and knowledge that we can’t always slow down to eat a proper meal. Sometimes the only way is to eat on the run.

Palmwich is not “fast food.” but real, house-made food that’s served up quickly with a menu that outshines the competition in taste and nutrition. There’s no longer a reason not to eat well even when you’re on the go.

In creating each and every Palmwich Real Food and drink item, we are mindful of portion size, nutritional content and using all-natural ingredients—and nothing else.
