Stopped by Cafe Grumpy Grand Central offer a long week at the US Open, in need of some caffeine. The nice man working here offered good recommendations, since I couldn’t decide what I wanted. The coffee was delicious. Service quick yet friendly and upbeat. When I’m back in town for tennis next year, I’ll make this place my usual coffee spot. Thank you!

I recently stopped by Cafe Grumpy on my way to Grand Central, and I had such a great experience. The service was super quick and friendly, and I loved that they support local artists. Plus, when you buy a mug, a portion of the proceeds goes to help animals, which is amazing. The lavender oat milk latte was absolutely delicious—I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Sasha made a cappuccino with a medium blend of Colombian and Ethiopian coffee beans. This was a fine cup of coffee and far superior than the one I had yesterday at Gregory’s Coffee. I sat here savoring each sip slowly. Having coffee outside is a treat for me and Cafe Grumpy always delivers nicely. Good service and sometimes a delectable baked item.
