A French café, on your corner.
Warm, modern and unmistakably French — Canard Cafe Bar was built around three things we love: real coffee, French pastries, and a neighborhood you want to see every morning.
Our menu leans classic — butter croissants, pains au chocolat, madeleines — with room for the things people actually crave in the morning: a proper cappuccino, avocado toast, a good breakfast sandwich.
You'll find us at 1 Greyrock Pl, Stamford, CT 06901, in downtown Stamford. It's a café built for its street: the morning commute, the meeting that needs breakfast, the neighbor who wants an almond croissant on Saturday.
Everything is baked in-house through the morning, so what's warm when you walk in is what we made at sunrise.
The name
Faire un canard
Canard is French for duck. It's also at the heart of a small, very French habit: faire un canard — "to make a duck" — dipping a sugar cube (or a corner of something sweet) into coffee and letting it soak up just enough before you eat it.
It's a tiny ritual, and it's exactly the kind of moment we want the café to be about: unhurried, generous, a little playful. Coffee and something sweet, taken properly.
That's the duck in our logo, and the idea behind the room.
