Nina Yiamsamatha: Can't go wrong with an iced coffee (it comes with a shot of espresso for extra buzz).
Talisa Chang: The iced coffee, both a delicious and dangerous choice, automatically comes with an extra shot of espresso (red eye). Lactards beware - no soy or almond milk here!
Remington Guest: The iced coffee is incredible. If you're wondering why, it's the espresso shot. Go for the olive oil cake and chocolate cookie. quality.

Andrew T.: Try the iced latte with an extra shot of espresso. I think you'll love it!
Nina LoSchiavo: While cafe grumpy serves a strong and nutty-delicious espresso shot their prices make me grumpy.
Project Latte: a NYC cafe culture guide: Roasted locally in Greenpoint, Cafe Grumpy's Heartbreaker blend (and an occasional single origin) espresso is showcased well by their talented baristas, almost always good & sometimes transcendent. Read more.

George Wallace: Drew me a good shot of espresso along with a great latte. The service was very nice. Don’t forget to try the cookies they were warm, gooey and not too sweet.
Travis: Great coffee shop and it serves Sey Coffee roasted in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Really great stuff.
Wyatt Silverman: Had a nice cold brew and cortado. Really pleasant space and nice service.
Kim Pham: A very friendly coffee shop. The deconstructed latte is actually lovely - shot of espresso, milk, and a finished latte (with a wafer + water to cleanse the palate).
simhskal: Did I mention that this is my most favorite coffee place of all time? Forget beer ... Nitro Brew for the win!
Mike Singleton: Don't be fooled by the deconstructed latte. Make sure the staff fully constructs yours.

Laurence B: Great shot of espresso. I hear the cookies are good, but haven't tried one just yet.
Angela Wen: Bigger and more spacious location of culture espresso. Heart coffee beans from Portland, awesome pastries, and good tunes.
Cindy lau: Running at $4 a latte, it's safe to assume it's going good. However, what's great about this place is that it's spacious (plenty of seats) and serve delectable desserts (doughnuts by dough).
