Cafe Grumpy - Manhattan West

Listen. If you haven’t met Shurwell at Cafe Grumpy inside the Whole Foods, just stop what you’re doing now and go get yourself a coffee, latte, water…whatever gives you the chance to feel his positive energy for 3 minutes of your day.

This entire staff at this spot are really fantastic. They all make great drinks and they all give a genuinely lovely experience. But Shurwell…this guy just lights up the whole room. He’s special. This Whole Foods has become my new cafe work spot because of him. Plus, it doesn’t get much better than grabbing your coffee and sitting outside literally ON the Highline while you get a little work done or have some conversation.

This is the hidden gem you didn’t realize you were missing. And it’s kind of amazing.

Many thanks Ricardo for delicious caffe latte and Hot Chocolate. I finished my lunch at Whole Foods Market food hall and wanted to eat NY style cheese cake so I said I must have latte too. I found the Cafe Grumpy corner, Ricardo was so kind and helpful to prepare my drink and gave me complimentary hot chocolate when mentioned that my husband loves it. I will come back again. Highly recommended.

Glad they opened in the area! I’d say is the best coffee around here.

Don't let the name fool you, I walked out happier than when I came, the service was very nice, the baristas are friendly and make your order with care. The coffee is also uniquely delicious and this location is conveniently located in whole foods, a great way to end your grocery shopping

Great little cafe inside Whole Foods with ample seating. Love that they provide vegan milk at no extra charge.

Honey oat latte is incredibly creamy and delicious! Pour over is wonderful as well!

I loved this café!

Top notch espresso!

I stumbled upon Café Grumpy while shopping inside the Whole Foods Market in the new Manhattan West building. Café Grumpy has other locations throughout NYC but this is site is one of their newest. The coffee bar is immaculately clean and offers their house-roasted specialty coffee line. They also sell their coffee beans, various merch (mugs, shirts), cold brew, teas, and other coffee paraphernalia (stainless steel drippers, coffee filters).

There are plenty of seating inside the market and the coffee bar is conveniently located next to the bakery and hot food sections. While there, I grabbed a cup of their cold brew which gave me a nice caffeine boost for the rest of my day. The drink was slightly bitter, full bodied and quite strong, not for the casual coffee drinker. The staff working the counter were great and very efficient. Prices are what you would expect from a Whole Foods vendor.

Espresso tasted like dishwasher water.

Couldn’t find the place. Inside Whole Foods market nobody knew about the place. Sent me in circles. Ended up at Black Box Coffee.

I missed Starbucks! Ordered a cappuccino and was surprised at its small size for its price. I had to throw it away because it tasted terrible!

Don’t think this exists
