Coffee and doughnuts fuel New Canaan commuter culture
In New Canaan, Stan and Grace Parker run a coffee and doughnut stand at the sunny train station. Since 1901 their blue van serves coffee, pastries, and other items to rush hour travelers while they share cheer and even loans. The pair know regulars by name such as Mr Regular and Ms Black, and greet commuters with a morning ritual that blends service with personalized rapport.
