A Ford Taurus rammed into the orange-awninged Chocoylatte building at 121 East Putnam Ave in Cos Cob on February 6, 2020. The car was driven by Andrew Miller, 47 of Bridgeport who later died of his injuries. He was driving around 80 miles per hour. There is a dispute over the amount of the insurance settlement that may take another year to resolve. Meanwhile, Chocoylatte owner Kelly Dantas, a native of Brazil and former Greenwich resident, has moved to Florida.
The site was opened in July 2019. It had a chocolate fountain inside. It was previously Commuter Cleaners and before that a gas station.
