Café Grumpy - Lower East Side

Opened in 2011, this compact coffee shop occupies a space that once housed Zelig Blumenthal’s Judaica shop, where renovations uncovered two previously hidden windows. Because there is no indoor seating—only a single bench outside—patrons often head to the shaded park across the street to enjoy their honey oat lattes, hot chocolate, and pastries. The counter notably features no upcharge for non-dairy milk.
