Amy LiuJuly 6, 2014Very 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.
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
KEFebruary 5, 2017Expensive ($5/cup of pour over) but delicious! Cute, hip spot. There are only window seats so stop by for coffee to-go.
For The MakersSeptember 25, 2011Strong, tasty coffee and super nice staff but no seating inside so make sure you are on your way to someplace awesome.
Damian POctober 11, 2013Smooth beans & perfectly steamed milk. You won't be disappointed with the coffee here!
Louis BruscoMay 28, 2012At 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)
Great coffee. The most convenient cafe for me ever! Some lactose free milk and (my) coffee life would be perfect.
One of the best coffee spots in the LES with delicious pastries!

Jacob ForsterJuly 4, 2015It's extremely small and there's no seating but their iced mocha was one of the best I have ever had!
Gary WestbyJuly 3, 2011On 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?
The coconut macaroons are to die for! The extra lemon zesty kick makes a great pair with a large coffee.
one could do worse than having a cortado. if felice is behind the desk, say hello, and ask him about traveling to calabria.
While cafe grumpy serves a strong and nutty-delicious espresso shot their prices make me grumpy.
Premshree PillaiApril 11, 2013Not 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.
Gluten-free financiers with assorted fruit pairings are everything
<:3 )~~May 8, 2012Come in for a coffee tasting flight - taste 3 coffees in individual French presses.
Their bakery closed! Most heartbreaking news of my weekend.
If you don't get a cheddar scallion biscuit here then you're just an idiot.
Mark BirchMarch 3, 2012This Grumpy location is decidedly less grumpy, feel free to smile when ordering.

"A Seattle based roasting company offering one of the best house brews in the city in addition to a no nonsense espresso. Not enough room for lots of seating but still worth a visit. 5/5"
Josiah David Chapman - 8.9
"Simple set up, perfect for an "on the go". A couple chairs outside, not designed for you to try and set up your 'mobile office'. Great coffee, and wholesome baked goods!"
Kevin Mercer - 7.8
"One of my favorite places to get work done. Good coffee, decent wifi, outlets!"
