Cafe grumpy is a wonderful little gem tucked away in a rather strange part of Chelsea. It was definitely worth walking around for about half an hour from my apartment to for a cup of their scrumptious flat white. Love that they trying to encapsulate the raw cafe culture (similar to that of 1940's France) with their "no laptop" policy- just riveting conversations. My drink was a flat white, which is hard to find in NYC as it has not yet taken over there yet. It was smooth, strong and definitely gave me the kick I needed.

Great place, tucked away on Chelsea. Staff are far from grumpy and the coffee is simply superb. Love that there's a no-laptop rule; means there's a conversational buzz as well as a caffeine buzz. I think they run courses in coffee-making too - worth checking out if you're an NYC resident!

I'm a big fan of Cafe Grumpy when ever I'm in this part of town. Consistently good coffee, two Clovers, and a no laptop rule makes for a great atmosphere for meeting and talking with people.

It can get crowded at times, but that's not a bad thing. It's off a quiet street so it can just be a bit unassuming when you arrive to find no seating available.

One of my favorites in NY, with an even large location in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (without the no laptop rule!)

One of the stops on my espresso tour of New York. Were pretty busy at the time, but were still pulling great shots.

Really good use of their clover machine including some great single origins including Mountain Top from Australia!

I went to check out Cafe Grumpy the other day whilst in New York. I heard amazing things about this cafe from other baristas in my travels. The day I went must have been a bad day for them as my coffee was good but not fantastic. Maybe my expectations were too high. Anyway its still definately worth while checking out if you are in New York.
