New Bakery & Catering Business Celebrates Grand Opening In West Haven

WEST HAVEN, CT — Evjoy Bakery and Catering, a catering service that provides baked goods and specialty foods, recently celebrated its grand opening in West Haven.

Evelyn Castro started her catering business as a cottage food operator, operating from home, according to a news release from the Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce.

She started focusing on cookies and breads and eventually expanded to different sandwiches and appetizers.

“One of the things that makes Evjoy Bakery and Catering so special is its mission to use clean and local ingredients,” according to the news release. “All foods are free from additives and artificial ingredients, making the food guilt-free and good for your gut and heart.”

Castro built her commercial kitchen upstairs from her brother’s business, Castro Oasis, at 80 Prindle Road in West Haven.

After months of planning and building, Castro was finally able to open her kitchen for public viewing last Friday.

“If anyone’s looking for scratch-made, healthier, premium ingredient options, then I’d love them to consider Evjoy and me,” Castro said. “Especially cookies, I can deliver, and I can ship them nationwide, and I have giftboxes.”

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was celebrated on May 29 with friends and family, along with Sheila Carmon, West Haven Heath Department Director, State Rep. M.J. Shannon, and members of the Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce.

“If there is anything Evelyn wants the community to know, it is that her biggest passion is making food from scratch,” the news release states. “By making everything from scratch and additive-free, she has felt happier and healthier and wants to share that with others through her food.”
