Café Grumpy Greenpoint, our first and most spacious café, opened in 2005 in the then uncharted territory of Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

A great place to study, hang out with friends, grab a book from the book-exchange or space-out online…We call this location home.

The Café Grumpy Roastery is an integral part of the cafe, so customers can gain a unique perspective on the roasting process and watch as we hand-roast small batches of specialty-grade coffee on a restored vintage Probat.

 
We utilize a catalytic oxidizer to reduce emissions from the roasting process and at the same time, use less gas. We also recycle coffee chaff and compost coffee waste.

We work together to select high quality green beans from socially and environmentally responsible producers. We then spend time developing roast profiles to bring out the dynamic nuances in the beans. After roasting, we cup every batch separately to assure consistent quality.

All of our in-house roasted coffees are available for purchase in our stores and online for you to enjoy at home. If you are interested in learning more about the process, just stop by for a visit.

We offer wholesale coffee to select shops around NYC. Please contact us at cafegrumpyroastery(at)gmail.com for more information.
