Café Grumpy

Café Grumpy was founded in Brooklyn in 2005 by Caroline Bell and Chris Timbrell and became one of New York City's defining independent specialty operations, with multiple Manhattan and Brooklyn cafés. Known to a wider audience through a memorable role on the TV series 'Girls,' Grumpy paired pop-culture visibility with genuine specialty credibility, roasting clean, transparent single origins. Its longevity and woman-led independence make it a notable fixture of the East Coast scene.
