Cafe Grumpy

There is a lot to like about Grumpy as a daily morning coffee stop at the end of your morning commute. Great espresso & cold brew(strong yet so smooth doesn't have that sour aftertaste that I despise)

The latest branch of this fast-growing local chain / coffee roaster , a favorite of ours, is located in a former Starbucks and joins Joe the Art of Coffee in Grand Central Station. (5/14)

Slightly harried service but better than the other Midtown options. Espresso machine much more popular than Drip, because of those queues, might be a rare spot where pour-over is faster than espresso

Friendly staffs , good consistent coffee & cute orange espresso machine :) They take credit cards - unlike Joe coffee which is also in Grand Central .

For the options around here this is your best choice for a good espresso pull. Otherwise head over to Bryant park for blue bottle , bluestone or la colombe.

The almond flat white is both nectar of the gods and liquid cacao .

Perfect place to read, write or catch up with a friend. Great ambiance with plenty of seating. Nobody is grumpy here except for me needing coffee .

An oasis in the coffee wasteland of Midtown East. Iced lattes are consistently good, and three varieties of iced tea are worth trying when you need a change.

Excellent espresso , retro atmosphere, great counter for people watching . I especially appreciate the minimally-sweet mocha ; no coffee-flavored hot chocolate here.

The Grand Central Station branch of this fast-growing local chain / coffee roaster , a favorite of ours, is on the soulless side, with decor that nods toward the Grumpy identity via the color orange .

Their house roasted espresso is fabulous! I'm also a big fan of their single origin in house roasts for coffee at home -- great way to start the day.

Great coffee . They roast their own beans. One of the best coffees I've had in Manhattan. Not really any seating, but awesome take away flat whites !

Great use of a former small Starbucks location in Grand Central . Sit at the counter along the big windows and people watch as you enjoy your coffee .

Great coffee , good music , their logo is awesome

Easy to grab a quick coffee here during commuter hours. Line moves fast. You'll find it right before on the east side doors of GCT near all the shops.

Grab your milk , lid and straw, and then keep moving! If you crowd the milk station for five bumbling minutes, you deserve every “rude” New York eye-roll you get.

Great drip, and better than any starbucks around. They take credit cards , and line moves pretty fast.

A compact Cafe Grumpy offering the full menu. Some seating, but perfect for grabbing a coffee before the train or some beans for home.

Even so that the queue are long it is super quick. I don't know how it is humanly possible, but they do it. Great coffee - just to small size

Cafe grumpy is fantastic and I usually just get what's brewing and it's delicious.

best option for good coffee if you're coming/going through Grand Central . got some interesting seasonal specials sometimes

Tell me about Cafe Grumpy, I'll tell you about a Pour-over cup of coffee ! Also, don't miss their delicious cookies !

Great pour over ! I took the barista's recommendation of Las Flores and wasn't disappointed.

This location makes a pretty good cortado . The place is pretty narrow with shallow bar tables, but it should be more than enough room for most people.

best midtown coffee I’ve tried yet, pastry is regular but definitely fresh the above average

The blueberry muffin and quality coffee here is sometimes what gets me out of bed in the morning

Their coffee was ok but u shouldn't miss it. In love with their logo.

Enjoyed a cappuccino and almond croissant . Both exceeded my expectations for being in a train station .

The place knows how to manage the crowd, even from 8:30 to 10 they know how to keep the line moving

Latte was decent, the foam/milk was thick and fluffy - it's $4.50 for a small. They don't do any flavored shots like vanilla which was kind of disappointing. Their pastry display looked good too!

Best coffee in midtown. Get a flat white because these people knew what that meant before Starbucks did.

They have soy milk (among Starbucks, Tartinery inside GCT). Iced soy vanilla latte easily becomes $7 !

I love there cold brews they don’t play around and the staff is really dope .

The best coffee my whole trip. Bringing beans home. Love the face.????

Nothing like the Chelsea location. Limited seating , no WiFi and I am resisting the urge to clean their floors. Oh, btw, it's actually on Lex @ 43rd.

Yummy tastes for those who is fed up with all that starbucks thing. No WC inside

quick turnaround , always perfectly done cortados .

Excellent coffee and gluten free pastries to go. Very limited seating .

excellent coffee & service!

Fun crew and hardworking- really crank the espresso shots during rush hours.

Line is always long but it moves fast. Their cold brew is excellent.

Thank god there is respite from Starbucks in Midtown. Cafe Grumpy is heaven sent.

Get something other than black iced coffee . I don't know if it's the "Brooklyn" hipster view to like odd things but the coffee certainly tastes just like that....odd.

Excellent latte here!

They have excellent coffee and authentic lamingtons !

Focaccia , muffins , scones and all coffee ! Love this place.

Unlike other locations, you CAN order a quick pre-made coffee here before you catch your train .

A welcomed replacement to yet another midtown Starbucks! Yummy lattes and cute logo????

My go to place in Grand Central for great coffee

Tiny place inside Grand Central , good coffee and fast service .
