Went here for the open mic Wed evening and it was awesome. The coffee is good and the crowd is very welcoming and friendly. The music was really enjoyable and it was inspiring to see so many other people going up and performing. I will definitely go back again soon.
When you can get a latte and a PBR at the same place, why would you go anywhere else! Coffee was awesome! Staff was friendly! Dogs allowed. They have a small parking lot in front as well!
This is my favorite neighborhod coffee house! Locally owned, great coffee, and breakfast burritos and family (and dog!) friendly :)
Has open mic/music in evenings. A great place to chill in Ballard!
Such a fun place. Went here to see a friend do open mic and was greeted by a throng of happy patreons and employees. Nice place if you just want to sit and catch up with a friend over drinks.
Great live music ! I had beer, Ian guessing the coffee is good too.
Great breve. Wish we had been here on the day they do open mic, it seems like they have a good setup for it! Chairs were also insanely comfy. Best part was probably the muffin top. SO GOOD. And the gal working was anything but "grumpy".
good location and coffee and comfortable environment. reasonable prices.
Just walked out of the open mic after waiting at the counter for several minutes and not seeing any employees in evidence. Everyone in the room already had a beverage so i just felt like i had intruded on a private event.
First time here and I already regret not buying more pastries.. We bought a fruit tart with seasonal berries - figs, strawberries and blackberries. Now I usually don't care much for fruit tarts. It's just custard berries and dough to me. BUT this one - I don't know what they did to the custard filling but it was purple and amazing. I can't wait to go back and try more of their pastries!
Best coffee house in Ballard. I've been coming here for years. The baristas, Dan and Marta are amazing every time I'm in there. If you're into music and open mics, they recently started hosting those weekly!
I love this little local coffee shop. Great coffee, vegan options.
Very good mochas, especially iced ones. Smooth coffee. Nice place to sit back and relax. Small and local is a definite plus as well. Location is not the prettiest, but once you go inside, it doesn t matter. Sit back and sip some coffee.
Amazing local coffee joint. Plenty of places to sit to work or chat. Live must throughout the week at night. Great coffee and food options.
Nice environment and amazing coffee, love the artwork displayed and the fact that it wasnt super crowded so I could really get my work done and talk with my coworkers without having to yell over loud music or people.
good coffee, nice folks, great tunes. what's not to like?
Super friendly! Had an orange blossom iced tea and it was refreshing
Super friendly despite the name, you're allowed to be grumpy but it's hard not to love how cozy and neighborhoodly it feels
Always a good start with a bit of caffeine. I love sitting outside sipping coffee and watching people run their errands. The coffee is good to kick your day.
I've always loved coming here. Everything is reasonably priced, the folks working there are very nice. The liquids are well prepared, and presented. The cookies and pastries are excellent. A good vibe inside, good place to chat with friends, or work on your laptop or tablet, orr just sit back and enjoy pastries and beverages. Wi-Fi is good.
Good coffee, has WiFi, a good variety of snacks and light meals. Takes tap to pay.
One of my fav places - love that they have unflavored soy and they have a good reward punch card system!
Chill and friendly. And a very sweet Wednesday acoustic open mic.
Great live music, great crowd listening and hanging out.
This is a great place for coffee and open mic night on Wednesday,s.
Great atmosphere and friendly service. Very relaxed. They serve a local Chai te that is spicy. The best I've had at a shop. Live music as well. Nice place to hang.
Good coffee, good service. And pretty good price, especially for seattle!
Nice casual place for coffee or tea or gelato or a glass of wine. Good cozy sitting area and also lots of tables for laptops or games.
Unimpressed with the coffee, food and service. They were friendly but a bit slow. Food was overpriced and the barista didn't seem confident that the drink was correct (she was right). I'd come here again, but only because it's the only coffee option north or downtown Ballard.
Friendly staff, mellow place. Wifi, live music sometimes.
This place was really cool and I love the location. Such a perfect spot to send you off on a nice Santiago Canyon ride. I ordered a regular hot coffee and low and behold, ground cardamom showed up in the spot light. Cream, cardamom and a little sugar: perfect coffee.Can't wait to go here again for some food goodies.
Nice place for study! They have a nice coffee, too!
A grrat place to get a snack or a meal along with your favorite beverage
Great coffee, great atmosphere! Cozy place with open mic events!
This coffee house is cozy and it had a relaxed atmosphere. This is a true mom and pop joint that some to please!
Oh grumpy D's, always the right amount of grumpy. I often come here to work when my home office feels a bit lonely or my home internet is out of whack. Their internet is always enough for my video conferences, remote access to various systems, and all the other techie things I do. The chai tea is good too! I never order coffee so can't comment on that. Their croissants are a great way to start the day! Cool artwork too :)
Friendly staff and delicious coffee. Warm, inviting atmosphere. Has a wonderful opportunity for outdoor "garden" seating.
Delightful establishment, good mix of live music, friendly crowd. Very pleasant evening in Dan and Marta's coffeeshop. Good choices of beverages and snacks. They make it all look easy.
Awesome iced mocha, and good sandwiches. Friendly barrista as well
Delicious coffee. Occasional live music. Friendly baristas and fun atmosphere. Parking can be tricky.
Thoroughly enjoyed this place. Non-pretentious atmosphere, comfortable seating and good menu. They offer breakfast and lunch burritos, pre-made sandwiches, a few gelatos and a nice pastry assortment. I tried the chocolate and almond croissant, very tasty. This is not a place for coffee snobs or anyone who would label themself a foodie.
Relaxed and friendly environment. great place to study or work quietly. Also amazing treats and coffee that is almost always just what i need. Community based and loves its neighbors.
Nice chill atmosphere. Great place to do work. Great coffee. :)
I come here on my lunch break or after work for a quick snack, a beer or itallian soda. I like the chill cafe atmosphere and community vibes I get while I am here. The staff has always been happy and friendly when I've been in, and I'm so happy they're open till 9 so I have a quick, close by pick me up when I get off work at 8!
Grumpy even street coffee. Decent brrr selections for happy hour and nice local live music, some silver hair, some young artist, always real. It turns out grumpy is a decent booking agent....
Extensive tea selection along with good coffee alcoholic beverages and snacks.
This is one of my favorite coffee shops. It's right up the street from my shop. Bit I'll even drive out of my way to get a coffee and a tasty treat on my day off. The pretzels are delicious and so are the chocolate croissants.
Very friendly fun went to open mike night lots of people playing music.. Some stand up.. Will go again
Used to live across the street and stopped by a couple times. A few times I got weird treatment, I felt very uncomfortable
I got an americano, it was okay. The roast on the beans is a little darker than I like from my espresso. Service was quick and efficient, but I could barely hear the barista speaking to me, and she didn t greet me, I greeted her. They only have gluten free cookies, not pastries. Which is understandable. Overall, I don t dislike the place, but just having moved to the area I m definitely going to keep looking.
Cool spot, coffee isnt the best but the food options, including beer and wine are great
Very friendly staff, great prices, great-tasting food and the ambience is very relaxing. Always a great place to go spend some time.
Walking distance, comfy coffee house. Never feel rushed here, nice to have a special neighborhood hangout for meeting friends.
Wonderful neighborhood coffee shop. Good coffee, great live music some evenings
Live music and good wine. Prefect Saturday evening.
I like Grumpy D's. I've had good coffee and a decent sandwich. Do NOT get the Chai Tea - It is VERY sweet and half the cup was "full" of frothed milk - it was not worth the price at all.
This is a great coffee shop with frequent live acoustic music. If you go during open mic, seating is at a premium starting up to an hour before it, partly because the regulars carve out entire sections of the place for themselves.
Great place! Good Latte and I can take my toddler grandaughter too! She loves the toys!
Cute old neighborhood cafe with great service!! They also have good ice teas and ice cream
I like the location of Grumpy's.
They have National Geographic 6 mos worth and it seems convenient to catch up with friends.
Cool little coffee shop. They sell beer coffee and food. Live music on the weekends. Parking is a little tough but the place is cozy and eclectic. I'll be back :)
Friendly people, good food, good music and great coffees.
Good coffee good baristas - really friendly place! Nice selection of grilled sandwiches for lunch and breakfast - and good selection of juices, pastries and cookies including vegan and gluten free. Strong wi-fi, good seating, and AC. Dan and Marta the owners always see to the customers needs and comfort and instill this in the staff.
Great coffee, nice customer service, free Wi-Fi, inviting environment, live entertainment on the weekend. They serve local ice cream, pastry. Great place.
Love this place. Can bring our little dog inside on a cold day. Good coffee and pastries. Local atmosphere.
Awesome coffee, live shows, sports parties, and wonderful baristas.
We love this place - kid and pet friendly the staff is always welcoming and helpful. The coffee is great and my kids love the little play area and toys.
Nice people. Good food and coffee. Very little parking.
Love this place. Something for everyone -- all kinds of offerings, from chips and pop to evening of jazz to debate-watching with beer and wine... And of course, a great daily latte! Chasing staff and a COMMUNITY cafe like none other.
Progressive coffee shop, conveniently located, friendly cobpetant service, but a little small.
I love the coffee and it's always nice place to talk and hang out . Also dog friendly with good puppy treats
