"I love there coffee here super strong and wakes me up. The pastries here are also delicious and yummy. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Atmosphere feels comfortable and lovely. Overall great small coffee shop will be coming back if I in the area."

"Best place to work remote throughout the week! Yummy coffee! Lots of space and natural light :)"

"Café Grumpy has a large and very inviting indoor space. The coffee was well made, with the roast nicely balanced - not too light, not too dark."

"In a coffee world increasingly dominated by two extremes: 1. Over the top, too-cool-for-school barista culture… Or 2. soulless, venture-backed coffee chains sprouting up on every block like weeds… Cafe Grumpy is a balm. Providing the perfect antidote to everything ailing New York’s coffee scene: $12 lattes, minimalist cafes optimized for Instagram photo ops and…whatever Blank Street is. Perched on a quiet, unassuming corner of Greenpoint and bathed in natural light, Grumpy is a safe haven for remote workers, the nearby production crews and neighborhood regulars just looking to catch up over a cup. For a place named Grumpy, the staff is anything but, serving great coffee and surprisingly good pastries with the no-nonsense pace of Brooklyn and the familiarity of a small town coffee shop. The soundtrack is as agreeable as the staff that curates it on a daily basis, and you can always find a seat. They're open early and until 7pm for all your ill-advised late afternoon fixes. And yes, it was in GIRLS. In a sea of coffee garbage… be a Cafe Grumpy."

"The crew was amazing, my espresso dialed-in, and the space welcoming and clean."
