Cafe Grumpy

The honey oak latte will make anyone feeling grumpy smile. The sweetness is just about right and the baristas do a credible job with their artistry in the cup. One feature I really like is that you can get a real cup over paper waste if you are there to stay. Atmosphere is pleasant and this is a good stopping place.

When I was 7, I got lost while on a family trip. The world was huge and scary. I was cold, surrounded by strangers and unsure where to go. Then I saw my father. He picked me up, hugged me and I felt warm, welcomed, and comfortable. This coffee shop gives that same feeling, but with excellent coffee, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. They have no Wi-Fi or power plugs and it’s still my favorite place to work outside of home. Check it out, and get the breve latte. It’s delicious!

Moved to the city a few weeks ago from London, and this has become my go-to spot for feeding my caffeine addiction. The coffee is good and strong, the staff is friendly and chill, the space feels well-ventilated. I like that there is no internet! Better energy. My one suggestion for improvement is that the menu would benefit from some savory / cooked options. But it’s a coffee shop, and they do coffee well, so that’s five stars. ☕️

I went to pick up the coffee beans I ordered yesterday. And I was so excited to try it as soon as I get back to airbnb. I use the hand grinder I carry it around when I am traveling. And do the dripping instead of syphon when I was in Taiwan. And the color is so beautiful, and it has lots of fruit acidity. I love it so much. 😀🤞

Sustainability: Some compostable plastics, others no. Heavy plastic waste but they do have a discount for bringing in your own cup and can do hot and cold drinks in glass/ceramic to stay. They try, and with some tweaks could become more sustainable. Would like to see more organic/fair trade products. Overall ok but still a work in progress to eliminate as much waste as possible. Service: Friendly and quick. Drinks: Very good drinks. Flavorful. I enjoyed the vanilla latte and the honey and oat iced latte. Ambiance: Simple ambiance, back room is very Spartanly decorated. Value: One of the most expensive coffee shops I’ve been to. $5.50-6.50 is pricey for a drink, even for a sustainably sourced and iced one in Manhattan. Would come back overall.

When I checked the nearest coffee shop, I found this with good review. I know that they have seasons of the month menu so I asked for it. I chose Honey Oat Latte and it is not disappointing at all. The taste and smell of honey and oat are strong, I like it. This is the best coffee I tasted so far in my entire life. My friend likes it too but she prefers a stronger coffee taste and less honey taste. Well... it is a preference.
