Crema's Take
“Cafe Grumpy's rotating single-origin espressos are the real draw here—baristas actually know their beans and will steer you right if you're indecisive. It's the rare Grand Central pit stop where you're getting genuinely excellent coffee and a quality croissant, not just caffeine desperation, with staff who seem to actually care whether you make your train happy. If you're waiting for a connection or commuting through, this beats every other option in the terminal.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, quick-grab. Pastries on the menu.

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.
