Grumpy Bean - Maltkiln Lane

Highly recommend this place to anyone who just doesn't want to visit another boring basic coffee chain. The staff is friendly with great service, the drinks are great and the bites are quite delicious. The space itself is very welcoming and the tunes were on point. Definitely will come back for coffee and pastry next time I am in Seattle

Do you like the peach cobbler chai tea? Barista man: We make all of our drinks here so obviously yea its good What a weird way to respond instead of being nice you opted into sarcasm I had never been here before and didnt know. Making someone feel bad for asking is unnecessary.

Finding good espresso in the USA can be difficult. The baristas here nailed it, every time. Only four blocks from our hotel, Grumpy Bean was a daily must visit for our 8 day stay.

I was looking for a place to get my matcha latte. I am a little bit picky and the Grumpy Bean checked all the boxes: 1. They use pure matcha powder, not a sweetened mix. 2. Soy milk available. 3. They don’t use a bamboo whisk to stir the matcha. I know this is all the rage but those bamboo whisks get very moldy very quickly and are not necessary. 4. It was delicious I’ll be back next time I’m in Seattle!

Great place for a morning cup of whatever you need.
