Crema's Take
“Grumpy Bean leans into its charmingly curmudgeonly name as part of its Seattle personality, serving excellent coffee and creative seasonal drinks in a bright space perfect for people-watching near the convention center. Beyond the coffee, the homemade empanadas and pastries like their almond croissants are standout reasons to linger, whether you're squeezing in a quick caffeine hit or settling in for a longer sit with a view of the city.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks, good cold brew. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.
