Grind beans at home drip black.
I thought these beans were noticeably well roasted.

Mail-order.

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

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.

Love the coffee and the vibes here. Best coffee shop in Greenpoint, for sure.

Hate to say it because it was one of the best lattes I’ve ever gotten. Unfortunately as I got to the bottom ready to leave a good review I found a massive black hair. Before you ask, yes, the hair was on the inside of the cup. Rip.

Atmosphere is great place to work. Only one bathroom though.

Cute little neighborhood cafe with seating and WiFi. Can’t ask for much more! Coffee is good too, esp. the cold brew.

Staff is incredibly kind. I left a drink on the counter, and one of these amazing people just about ran me down to give it to me - it was directly my boss’s as well - cannot thank the folks who work here enough for being as amazing as they are, they make it too easy for a production assistant like myself.
