This spot had been on my list for a couple of months, so I finally decided to check it out today. Parking was a bit challenging, and there were a few homeless people in the area, but it didn't feel too uncomfortable. Once inside, the place was surprisingly spacious. I ordered a 12 oz hot plain latte, and the barista was very friendly. My drink came out within a couple of minutes, and the cafe wasn't too crowded, which was nice. Overall, I really enjoyed the coffee. It had a great balance of milk and espresso, with a strong flavor that I appreciated. I'd definitely come back again if I'm in the area. read more

Grumpy Bean - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Cute, sassy vibe in this coffee shop. I loved all the cat photos and signs they had as decorations (like one that said "The difference between coffee and yor opinion is I asked for coffee"). Staff was friendly and we ordered the Snickerdoodle latte. It was a little on the sweet side for me, but I think that's usually the case when you get a flavored lattes. Loved that they had a lot of cool, creative drinks and monthly specials. read more

Orange spice chai (March special): yummm, perfectly frothy with a smooth well-balanced blend of flavors! Very comforting and one of the better chai concoctions that I've had for sure. Banana bread latte (another March special): unfortunately this one was a dud. Tasted scorched with not much banana flavor at all. Service: unsure if it's because of the name of the shop, but ice-cold demeanor especially from cashier staff. "Just order and don't ask questions" kind of vibe. Overall a lopsided experience. Wouldn't say that it's a must-try, but if you're already in the area I'd say it's still worth a peek. read more

I wanted to love Grumpy Bean--cute name, cozy vibe--but in a city like Seattle where good coffee shops are everywhere, this one didn't quite measure up. I ordered the snickerdoodle latte and an almond croissant. The croissant was fine, not bad, but nothing memorable--especially when you're in a city known for its pastry game. As for the latte, I kept sipping, hoping the snickerdoodle flavor would show up, but it just never did. It tasted more like a plain, slightly watered-down latte than anything spiced or cookie-inspired. Definitely not what I was expecting. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but with so many standout options in Seattle, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back. Just felt a little lackluster. read more

Went here at around 8 in the morning and it was pretty busy when we got there but emptied out pretty fast, there didn't seem to be many people staying and was more of a grab and go spot. The place is super cute and grumpy themed, with the sizes corresponding to how grumpy you are: grumpy (small), grumpier (med), grumpiest (large). The Nutella mocha was really good but the matcha latte was subpar, to be fair this is a coffee shop so probs as expected. The chocolate croissant was also just average. Overall I'd try it again. read more

Cool little coffee shop. The London fog latte is excellent. Tasty and not too sweet. Only knock is the baristas weren't especially warm. But I guess that's why it's called Grumpy Bean. read more

First time in Seattle and my hotel is up the street, needed coffee so I gave it a go. I haven't left many reviews so might not be accurate to my experience. Regardless, loved their latte. -1 star because my girlfriend asked for a water cup to go as we were on our way to sight see and one of the workers said "if it's a germ thing, grab a straw" (they had hard plastic cups sitting out for water usage). Didn't know how to reply to that so we just left. read more

Tried the churro latte and the snickerdoodle latte. We liked them both! It seemed like a cute little spot to hang out and do work or meet. They had a large table for big groups and some smaller tables and seats along the window. The service was good, but when we arrived there was a note on the window that said "Back in an hour and 15 minutes" and the door was locked but there were still people drinking coffee and chatting inside. That was a bit strange. I think they are dog friendly but there's no signage to indicate either way. I liked the music and vibe and the drink selection! read more

Grumpy Bean is a great spot. They have some unique flavors inspired by Hawaiian and Latine culture reflecting the diversity of Seattle's community. I got the iced haupia latte which I never expected to find. The sprinkle cookie wasn't on the list of featured cookies but once I saw it I knew I had to have it, I'm a sucker for them. It was on the harder side for a cookie which I'm not as much of a fan of, but it was chewy inside. I really enjoyed the music here and had fun chatting with the staff about it. I would definitely come again. read more

Beautiful coffee shop. Very spacious inside. Would be great for a group of office workers or people from the convention center that wanted to sit and enjoy coffee for a bit. Great location right in the convention center hub of the city. It's located on a side street so per your eyes for it. The coffee was delicious as well. read more

This place is so great! I love the ambiance and the staff is friendly. Really good espresso as well. A perfect place to get work done, as they have lots of accessible outlets at each table/counter. I had a Lavender Latte and Spinach Feta Pita from Baked in Bosnia (another local bakery) with Garlic Cream. The pita was good, but I don't think I'd order it again. It was very dense for one person. Definitely come out to the Grumpy Bean to take a breather with a cup of coffee. read more

Stumbled upon this place when visiting Seattle. Grumpy Bean is a relatively new establishment and features a diverse menu. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and I enjoyed the drinks a lot. The Salted Caramel Latte wasn't too sweet and was one of our favorites. The Honey Lavender Latte was also tasty, but personally I enjoyed the Snickerdoodle Latte more. Cute place with nice drinks! read more

Grumpy Bean has a solid line-up of espresso beverages, from classic shots to flavored lattes, as well as a convenient location in downtown Seattle. It's a great place to grab a cup of coffee before work or going shopping; the service is friendly, and the space is clean and inviting. I ordered a double espresso shot, which not only woke me up instantly but also tasted smooth and bold. It was one of the best espresso shots I've ever had. My group ordered four beverages in total, and everything was prepared within a few minutes (the shop wasn't too crowded on a weekend morning). Everyone else raved about their beverages as well - the nitro cold brew was a favorite. I would definitely come back to Grumpy Bean to try their other espresso beverages. read more

Nothing fancy about this small coffee shop, but it's a good grab and go place and it's only a few minutes walk from Residence inn Seattle convention. We ordered cappuccino and it was good! You can sit at the counter by the window and enjoy the city view! read more

Found this place while looking through the different local coffee shops in Seattle! This place was just around the corner from my hotel. I found grumpy bean towards the end of my trip but I wish I would've found it sooner so I could've gone here everyday! They have a variety of really cool drinks! Consider me addicted to their pumpkin chai & their pumpkin dirty chai! This has to be the best chai in Seattle! The pastries are outstanding! That warm cinnamon roll is a delight & so is the chocolate croissant! The baristas are all really friendly! There's lots of seating so this is a great place to get some work done!

They stand at counter facing the entire place and bang, bang, bang he's stamping all sorts of stuff. Really in your business there's no peacefulness at all. Coffee was good I took it to go but had to be assaulted from this racket the whole time isn't a place I'd return to. read more

Came here on a morning coffee run with my coworkers and left with a tasty cup of coffee! They have some chalk work on the walls and a few seasonal drinks in addition to their regular menu. Decorating the menu board and walls. There were a few people seated at tables inside, so it is great that they have some space for those looking to work or study out of a cafe. I ordered a snickerdoodle latte which was on their seasonal menu and it was tasty! The baristas were friendly and gave recommendations as it was our first time there. Looking forward to another coffee shop that I can regularly visit! read more

Stopped by a few days ago with my coworker on the hunt to find coffee. The ambiance of this place is super cool. I often go to "trendy" coffee shops that all look the same, but found grumpy bean to be really unique. It felt so Seattle and I loved it. Good place to work with seating and outlet options. Delicious iced vanilla latte!! The staff was really friendly. I'll be back! read more

Holy shit, how is coffee this good!? Have I been drinking trash all these years? I've traveled to cities all over the US, and if New Yorkers can make pizza, then Seattle can make coffee. I'm only here for a couple days, but now I'm obsessed with this place, and I need them to expand immediately, so I can get this in my city. read more

With so many great coffee options in the area, Grumpy Bean is another one that makes the list. Their coffee is very smooth but what really draws me to them are their speciality/rotating drinks. I've had a coconut dulce latte and candy corn latte. Will definitely be back to try everything that's special. Also they have a lot of working space which is great. read more

I only had the iced mocha and it was quite sweet, not that great, and pricey as well. The location and shop looked nice so we tried it as we love coffee day and night. Unfortunately, I was not enthralled with the iced mocha but everyone should try it out to judge for themselves. read more

Was visiting Seattle and this was close to my hotel so I decided to check it out. Omg !!! What a treat for my Balkan heart!!! They have Burek/pita! Normally, I have my traditionally filled pastry, but they had a huge mushroom pita that is to die for, I'm still thinking about it. (Which is honestly the reason I even took time to write the review). I had two different coffees because I ended up working there for quite a few hours. First, I a Matcha Latte, with the perfect amount of sweet. Yum! Then I had a Coconut Dulce which was just a bit more of sweetness to act as my dessert. Also great! Also got to know the two owners, super nice and chill. :) Coming back next time I'm in town! Thanks James & Lejla. read more

The Grumpy Bean is my new favorite place. The owner, James, is a sweetheart and I met some of his cool friends and customers at his recent gathering. I'm also addicted to the cinnamon rolls he sells.
