Canard Café Bar Jersey City

Pastries, food, and vibes are great here. Don't listen to the pretentious ones griping about the coffee. They probably think blue bottle brews the best stuff 🤪 the coffee is good

Consistently bad coffee. The baristas here don’t even know how to foam the milk properly and they don’t seem like they care to provide good coffee or service. Every time they steam milk, it makes horrendous noise and your cappuccino comes out as bad as the sound. I’m not expecting latte art but at least coffee without so much damn air bubbles. Food quality and hygiene are also disappointing.. Their wifi is spotty, so many times I sat down and found the wifi not working after buying coffee. The only good thing about this cafe is the space. And these days even heating in the cafe is bad, I went to work here and left immediately because my hands were too frozen to type. I really hope someone opens another cafe with work space and decent coffee.

Come for the hypothermia, stay because you literally cannot close your eyes. If you are looking for a cozy café to warm up in, keep walking. If, however, you are looking to undergo unauthorized cryotherapy while consuming liquid rocket fuel, you have found your Mecca. First, the temperature: I’m not saying it was cold, but I’m pretty sure I saw a White Walker ordering a muffin in the corner. I walked in wearing a light jacket; I walked out regretting that I didn't bring my Antarctic survival gear and a sled dog team. I tried to type an email, but my fingers froze into a claw shape around my spoon. Then, the cappuccino: I ordered a cappuccino at 2:00 PM. A sensible, mid-afternoon pick-me-up, right? Wrong. I don’t know what kind of beans they use—I suspect they are harvested from the center of a volcano and watered exclusively with Red Bull—but this beverage was not coffee. It was weaponized adrenaline. The Aftermath: It is currently the next day. I have not slept. I have not blinked. Last night, around 3:30 AM, while staring at my ceiling fan, I realized I could hear colors and see the fourth dimension. I have since reorganized my pantry by expiration date and alphabetized my spice rack. The Verdict: If you have a deadline due in an hour and haven't started, or if you need to stay awake for three to five business days, get the cappuccino. Just bring a parka.

I gave this place chance after chance, but all attempts were in vain. Always, absolutely always bitter coffee, very hot, what it shouldn’t be, it doesn’t matter if it’s cappuccino or flat white. It’s impossible to drinks. I think the management should invite a good barista who would show them how to make coffee, than change girls every month who don’t know how to work...

It’s a spacious cafe with pretty ambience. The Cinnamon Roll was small and pricey. It is good, but it reminds me exactly of the cinnamon rolls they sell at Morton Williams SuperMarket which is admittedly cheaper. Their pastry selection was lacking for me, but I might have to give their sandwiches a try since that seems more popular.
