Café Grumpy

I stopped in for a cup of coffee and my celiac daughter wanted a doughnut. All the GF options are on the top shelf of the pastry display. I asked the barista where the pastries came from and she knew the bakery and which items were from a dedicated facility. Without my prompting, she offered to get a fresh donut from the back since she said she couldn’t guarantee that the items in the display weren’t cross contaminated since it was later in the day. Wonderful!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

At the Greenpoint location, nothing is celiac safe. All of the baked goods are stored in a shared display case and the gluten-free touches the gluten. They also have a warning sign right on the front of the display case that everything is made in a shared kitchen. If you have celiac disease, don't order anything to eat at Cafe Grumpy.

I didn’t try any of there beverages. But while I was there with my husband I did get a gf lemon bread they had. Wasn’t the safest because it was held in the same rack as non gf items. But it was amazingly good. Cute little coffee shop.
