You’re in Grand Central Station. Do yourself a favor and stop here 🙂 must go for coffee ☕️ and an almond croissant 🥐 It’s a great spot!

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.

I know a lot of folks have their go-to's from major brands (S-bucks, ahem, ahem), but this is just down the Lexington Passageway in Grand Central and I say... Come here! This is what good, real coffee is supposed to taste like! I'm talking if you think you don't like unsweetened coffee, try again and get the flat white. I have to agree with the reviews (which prompted my visit today) - they know how to make it exactly right! The velvety texture, the balanced taste. The coffee itself: notes of dark chocolate, nutty, smooth goodness. Perfection. It's a small shop but there are some seats available inside. Despite its size, they move quickly and effectively which I appreciate given the challenges of being in a busy area with limited space (and at the time of my visiting, only 3 staff members!) Thanks for the treat and the care. It's important to patronize locations where staff takes pride in their skills and hospitality. People get burned out and busy, so I recognize and appreciate the friendliness from the staff (and customers seemed to be nice, too! I just wish more people considered these things when going to service locations - let's all try to be better humans, eh?) Cheers.

We ordered an oat milk hot chocolate and a single origin espresso. Well balanced espresso with good body and a syrupy texture. The hot chocolate was steamed well, had very nice latte art and a great taste.

One of my favorite coffee shop in NYC, must try their heartbreaker and Flat White is always my to go item.

Decent coffee spot in Grand Central - give it a visit if you’re in the area and like espresso. It’s always a good sign when there is more than one espresso on the menu. The single origin espresso was well extracted and balanced.

Delicious cappuccino!!!! Very clean place. Great selection of coffees and pastries. They have organic teas. Small place but cozy. You can sit and watch people walking in and out of Grand Central terminal. Two entrances. One on lexington Ave with steps. Other just inside terminal entrance, no steps and wide enough for wheel chair.

Excellent coffee and great service. The seasonal honey oat latte was delicious, not too sweet.

Great coffee and fast service. I would frequent this location often when working in the Chrysler Building and the service has always been consistent. Espresso is noteworthy.

Chilly winter morning here in Midtown Manhattan. First time trying Cafe Grumpy in the Grand Central Terminal. Aromatic coffee blend smells to die for with super friendly service. I couldn’t decide between the vegan banana walnut muffin or the sugar plum danish… so I had both 🤣 Hey… it’s the holidays. We can start counting calories in January. Keep being amazing out there!!

My first time at a cafe grumpy was quite a few years ago and I loved the atmosphere. I decided to grab a coffee while in grand central and was excited to see a cafe grump. Great espresso, friendly staff, and yummy snacks.

Their 12 oz iced Americano was just ok - not bold enough for my taste. Same for the latte. The ginger chai latte was not good - it was very watery and lacked in flavor. I also got the blueberry scone which was ok but tastes a bit grainy. Another visit - I tried their cheddar chive biscuit which was just ok. The texture was chewy and had a slight kick to it. They get their pastries from Colson patisserie.

Good but not up to the price: The place is small but easy to navigate as the sitting place is along a glass iverlooking one entrance of Grand Central. The macchiato is strong as it should be but a bit bitter and the milk was added before being “foamed”. The decoration is simple but nice and the music is good

I like their matcha lattes but not the regular latte. The foam is really good and almond milk is delicious with matcha. They have very limited sitting and they usually busy.

A nice little cafe inside grand Central passageway (accessible from outside too) with a variety of single cup brews. Lots of coffee merchandise on sale, and a bunch of bottled cold brews are also available. It has got a few seats on the side bar if you are planning to hang out for a few minutes.

It is convenient being in Grand Central, and it was empty on the Saturday morning we went there so pretty quick service with some seating looking out to the hall. The staff was definitely not friendly at all but didn't seem awake enough yet to live up to the namesake "grumpy" reputation. The coffee prices are normal and were fine if not particularly notable. Fine place if you are catching a train and need to grab a coffee and run.

"Café" ??? Meh. --- I typically order an espresso macchiato, which is just espresso with a small amount of milk foam. Today, when I asked for foam only, the barista and the manager told me they don’t make “dry” macchiatos and seemed annoyed by my request. I ended up with just the espresso. Paid $$$ plus a forced tip at the register for what felt like a tiny cup of espresso, which left me disappointed.

First time visiting from the uk and now I understand the name and ethos of the brand. The staff were all grumpy and rude, the lady didn’t put the lid on my coffee properly and my $8 coffee split all over my hand burning me. When I asked for a napkin I was told they’re over there. Wouldn’t go back, poor experience and a mediocre coffee.
