Roasted locally in Greenpoint, Cafe Grumpy's Heartbreaker blend (and an occasional single origin ) espresso is showcased well by their talented baristas, almost always good & sometimes transcendent. Read more

Very calming&soothing atmosphere. Drinks taste great, and there's the bonus art ! It's a cute small coffee shop , so it's really nice to go for studying, working, anything, really.

Raja H

Small space without a sign out front (I'm told that's cool). Great coffee and excellent rotating selection of pastries . Come here and get your hipster on

KE

Expensive ($5/cup of pour over ) but delicious! Cute , hip spot. There are only window seats so stop by for coffee to-go.

For The Makers

Strong, tasty coffee and super nice staff but no seating inside so make sure you are on your way to someplace awesome.

Damian P

Smooth beans & perfectly steamed milk . You won't be disappointed with the coffee here!

Great coffee . The most convenient cafe for me ever! Some lactose free milk and (my) coffee life would be perfect.

At Hester Street Fair (Sat 10a-6p)-Brazilian Cafundo-bean concentrate alone over ice, stirred with Battenkill Valley Creamery milk , or mixed with seltzer in a tingly “coffee soda ” ($3.50 to $4)

It's extremely small and there's no seating but their iced mocha was one of the best I have ever had!

Gary Westby

On the boarder of les and two bridges grumpy is giving the neighborhood the energy to become the hipster Mecca it should be. Especially at $5 a cup. I mean who else could afford those prices?

This mini-chain of cafes is a spot for excellent coffee and baked goods .

The coconut macaroons are to die for! The extra lemon zesty kick makes a great pair with a large coffee .

tiny place. Great cold brew

one could do worse than having a cortado . if felice is behind the desk, say hello, and ask him about traveling to calabria.

Nina LoSchiavo

While cafe grumpy serves a strong and nutty-delicious espresso shot their prices make me grumpy.

Andrew T.

Try the iced latte with an extra shot of espresso . I think you'll love it!

Not much of a place to hang out in, but get some of the city 's best coffee and go sit in the park just outside.
