One of New York’s quintessential contemporary, quality-focused roasting and retailing companies, Café Grumpy, has its sights set on a much sunnier market: South Florida.
The company has just opened its eighth New York location since its founding in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint neighborhood in 2005, and Café Grumpy co-founder Caroline Bell told Daily Coffee News that the company has signed a lease in Coral Gables, Fla., just southwest of downtown Miami, with an expected café opening this summer.
“We will be shipping coffee down from our Brooklyn roastery, and will relocate a couple of staff to manage the store,” said Bell, adding that the company has been searching the Miami market for suitable spaces for more than two years. “Our plan is then to expand by hopefully opening a roastery down there in the future.”
