GUILDERLAND CENTER Michael Ward and Stefanie Stegman opened Crowing Hen Coffee Company in Guilderland Center late last year, which serves as a breakfast-oriented counterpart to their Clarksville’s Crowing Hen Café, and Ward hopes brings new flavors to the Albany area.
They built on the success of a café in Knox that relocated to Clarksville in early 2020.
Both Stegman and Ward come from a culinary background, with Ward’s hinted at by a tattoo of a chef’s knife on his left forearm and a small fork-and-knife tattoo on his neck. Together, the pair developed the new location’s menu of microbatch beverages, baked breakfast foods, and various lunch sandwiches.
