Best coffee in the neighborhood and hits my top 3 in NYC, where actual good coffee can be hard to come by (especially after having the best coffee in Australia for three years). EXCELLENT flat whites !

Travis Statham

Incredibly delicious coffee and fast service . I recommend a redeye. The heat leaks through the cup holder so get an extra napkin to protect your hand.

Andrea Hong

You'll know this spot from the adorably grumpy face on the outside, but inside is anything is but. Get your made-to-order coffee fix and sit to enjoy the paper (but with a no-laptop policy).

Oliver Delgado

Consistently the best flat whites in the city . Their beans for sale are always fresh, so it's my go-to spot for that, too.

Serious Eats

This neighborhoody spot is often as quiet as a library on weekends, as Greenpointers and those vacationing to Brooklyn fill up the seats to quietly exist online...with cappuccinos .

Ryan Tate

Best coffee in Park Slope . Regular drip and pourover are carefully made with excellent beans. Espresso drinks properly pulled.

Anthony Morales

Gluten-free! Gluten-free! Brownies Coconut macaroon , Expresso Rye shortcake, Lansing ton cakes

Lauri ✌????️ Borén

Really good espresso based coffee drinks. Their own beans are medium roast. Cheddar chive biscuit is delicious. No laptops .

alexandra k

The only time I'm here, I'm actually quite grumpy (and coffee-less) and they are kind enough to recognize when I need everything real fast. ☕️

Trevor Rogers

Best coffee in the area and the staff is super friendly . A little busy in the mornings and on weekends.

Neil Sanchala

They have gluten-free and vegan pastries .

Darshy N

Meet ur lovah for coffee , chat up the barista with coffee jargon while bobbing ur heads to indie/hiphop music . Sit and read the NYTs for a bit. Check-in to 4sq and fight for mayorship! Rinse. Repeat.

Sandra Fransen

No bathroom . I've often found myself enjoying a lovely flat white when hit by a desperate need to use a loo.... Great coffee , but plan accordingly!

Isabel Hanson

Really great coffee . Super nice service. But nowhere great to sit and limited food/cafe varieties.

Remington Guest

Always awesome pastries and wildflower honey for your coffee . One of the best in midtown.

The Corcoran Group

A true coffee bar with minimal seating and a strictly enforced no laptop rule. Perfect made-to-order coffee and rockstar baked goods .

Colleen McAndrew

No frills coffee shop where they 'let the coffee speak for itself.' Really let the flavors of the coffee come through.

Emma S.

The barista was a bit, well , grumpy... But the place is clean and damn that single origin espresso is hard to beat!

Kika G

Cardamom + black pepper banana bread is a great way to start your day. Ask for an end piece if you're "in to that"

Greg Thomas

I'd come here more often if it was friendlier - I guess it lives up to its name. Really great coffee , though.

Aaron Moodie

The best flat white in Brooklyn.

Sam Horine

Great coffee ...and they take square payments so no cash needed.

Judy Antell

Delicious single origin coffee , beautifully designed lattes , friendly staff

Try the americana, flat white , or iced mocha !

Good beans, good flat white

Allie Townsend

Treat yourself to a flat white . You're in the only place in Park Slope that serves them. (That I know of.)

Food & Wine

Café Grumpy has all the high-tech gear, including Clover drip-coffee brewers and the Synesso espresso machine.

Laurence B

Great espresso

Todd Simmons

Dark, wet October afternoon outside. Inside, the barista has The Beatles on shuffle and happens to be an Arsenal supporter to boot.

Chris McManus

Caffe Latte is wonderful

Brittany A

Great coffee , limited seating , no bathroom . Still worth it!

Taylor Pemberton

There's a no laptop policy here, but everything about the place is great!
