Kariaini Estate Microlot 896
Strawberry jam aroma with notes of apricot and milk chocolate.
Auction Lot Selection.
This coffee scored 90 on Coffee Review by Kenneth Davids, July 2010.
Read the full review here.
“Blind Assessment: Lush, berry-sweet aroma with notes of honey, aromatic wood, and night flowers. In the cup, lightly syrupy mouthfeel, bright acidity, with an orangy sweet citrus character complicated by continued suggestions of berry and aromatic wood. A very mild astringency distracts from an otherwise sweet, fruit-toned finish.”

Neighbors & Artists
For those of you who have noticed the great artwork on the walls this month and wanted to know more – “secret sound space” is an exhibition of works by local Greenpoint-based artists: Soo Im Lee, Rebecca Sherman, Carolin Wood, Fanny Allié and Hyla Skopitz.
“Each artist has contributed works that explore secrets shared and hidden between living beings, paintings that offer visual interpretations of sound, and documents the everyday with heightened awareness and perspective. Homely, estranged, reflective, and self-conscious, these works are brought together to ignite a sense of renewal, offering an alternative on how we approach, observe, and absorb our everyday experience.”

Happy New Year!
A big thank you to all of our customers and coffee friends for your support in 2009. This past busy year, we are proud to have launched our in-house roastery, opened our third cafe in Park Slope and won TONY’s Eat Out Award. We are also appreciative of simple moments we had like sharing conversations over tasty warm beverages with friends and co-workers.
We are looking forward to a great 2010 with more house-roasted coffees (including a gem from Colombia coming in January), guest coffees from our friends around the country, extended hours and more adventures.
We are open in Chelsea and Park Slope until 6pm on New Years Eve and will re-open at all three locations at 8am sharp on January 2nd, 2010.
Wishing you all a happy, peaceful and successful New Year from all of us at Café Grumpy!

Perk Me Up – The Coffee Scene in North Brooklyn
“…one of the most audacious pioneers. Located at the obscure corner of Meserole Avenue and Diamond Street in the then not-so-trendy Greenpoint neighborhood, they survived early on by becoming Coffee fashionistas. They roast their own beans now…”
