    The catchy name of the cafe made me curious to check this place out. Ordered an iced Americano. One barista was working and he wasn't grumpy at all :)

    I'm not a coffee person or a morning person, Cafe Grumpy drew me in with their creative name. Tiny coffee counter in Rockefeller Center, quick service for 9am. I tried their lavender latte which was a spring special. Delicious! Perfect balance of lavender, with lavender leaves sprinkled on top. $7 for iced which is on par with most coffee shops. Watched the barista make beautiful latte art as I waited. Multiple locations throughout the city.

    Never grumpy after going to this place (ha ha). But for real, even though it's pricey I love the taste of their drinks. Lattes have the bold taste I look for, as someone who drinks their coffee black, without it mimicking a "burnt" flavor. The Tahitian vanilla is a tasty touch too if you don't mind spending extra. I appreciate that their matcha lattes aren't super sweet either! I do need to add sugar but it makes me feel like I'm getting the benefit of matcha versus a sugar bomb. I try to balance myself because I'm a major sweet tooth. Moral of the story, there are plenty of great options for coffee and tea drinkers here!

    Coffee spot in Rockefeller Center indoor promenade with friendly service. $12 for vanilla latte and americano. Medium line at 3p, which I found comforting. Drinks ready in under 3 min. Perfect pick me up for midday. No sweets to enjoy but hey, it's NYC - many more places to explore.

    Enjoyed my ice cold Hibiscus Fruit Punch, until my daughter stole it from me to wash down her chocolate chip cookie from Chip City down the hall. Teenagers Coffee was also good, but it can be quite busy as alot of people are getting coffee to wait in line to go to the Top of the Rock. This is a grab and go place - no seats and waiting area can be cramped depending on how big a line there is. At the time we went (Sunday morning), there was only one person taking orders and making coffee - but he was working hard and efficiently. Gotta be patient, not his fault if you're running late to your call time at the Rockefeller (looking at you tourists!) Cute logo- wish I had gotten a tote bag!

    Great coffee spot for a quick cozy warm me up. My coffee was cutely crafted and flavorful.

    Coffee was mid, but I'm a sweet ice coffee kind of person. I would go to another coffee place, don't go out of your way. Service was decent.

    A little challenging to find in the underground food court at Rockefeller Center. It is a tiny space with no seating space. They offer a mix of coffee, lattes, and teas. Got the white peony tea, which comes in a mesh tea bag (approx $4). Staff could be a little friendlier. Lol I guess it is grumpy cafe.

    On a wet rainy day this seemed like the appropriately named place for me. It was nice and clean and dry inside, and the service was quick and efficient. It's rare I get a good cup of black coffee lately, but this one was great. I'll come back, even on a nice day when I'm not in a bad mood.

    There are only a few places that make a latte with the right coffee flavor and the right milk texture. This place nails it. Will be back.

    Pretty good coffee. No vanilla so if that's all you drink be warned. Service was quick. No real complaints, but wouldn't seek it out again.

    The coffee was pretty good but you pretty much make the coffee yourself unless u get one of the specialty drinks

    So after having lunch in New York's Chinatown and taking a stroll through little Italy, we took a…read moresubway ride to New York's K-Town or aka as Korea Town. Upon arrival we noticed the difference in crowds. Not as busy and packed sidewalks. Also it was a lot cleaner than Chinatown. Since we just ate at C-Town, it was time to find a good dessert place in K-Town. So we walked and we walked until I saw a banner sign showing shaved ice desserts. Then I noticed the name of the business is Grace Street. How fitting, because that is my wife's name. So we went in and what caught my eye was a mango shaved ice with mangoes, mochi, strawberries, and condensed milk, however I was over ruled by my wife and we went with the black sesame and mochi and condensed milk. It also had red bean, but that had to be on the side, since that gives me gout. Such nice staff taking orders and we went into the dining area to find a seat. What a large spacious area with many tables. Our order came out and it looked so good. The black sesame shaved ice or snow as it's also referred to as, was perfectly sweetened by the condensed milk and the chewy mochi. Definitely cleaned my pallet from our Chinese lunch and it helped cool me down from the New York heat. We got water, but there was no ice offered, so I asked one of the workers and he was kind enough to get me some. We are through that dessert like, if we didn't finish it fast, it was going to melt. We did not give it a chance to melt one bit. The staff here are efficient, as they saw we were done, they asked to clear our dessert bowl away. It was a nice experience even if it was just dessert. They definitely had more dessert options to offer, but i

The generous serving had creamy, silky layers and was easily enough for the two of us to share. Sweet, light, and refreshing. Plenty of seating, generous portions, and a stop here never disappoints! Located on 32nd St, between Broadway & 5th Ave Train: 34 St-Herald Sq (N/Q/R/W); also an easy walk from Penn Station. Overall, a great casual dessert stop after exploring K-Town, Midtown or nearby Chelsea.

    I am a frequent Prince Tea House goer, but I've never been to the KTown location which has always…read morebeen on my bucket list because of the nice wall decors! And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
