Amazing little coffee shop! Friendly barista and very clean.
I’ve never been let down by their coffee. The baristas here are just so consistent and sweet! Cafe grumpy is not a place known for good pastries but they are my go-to for my daily espresso and I love them for that
Good spot for a matcha. The pastries were okay--I wish they had a little oven to warm them up. The lack of public bathrooms is inconvenient, so it's more of a grab-and-go coffee spot.
Deliciously brewed, great art, and really nice barista. Good selection of merch and would definitely recommend their hot chocolate.
The espresso was decent and the space here was nice inside. The staff were helpful and friendly. The pastry was stale and hard, I didn’t even finish it (and I was pretty hungry). The coffee here is okay but I can’t really recommend the pastries here.
