We Are All Seattle Now
If by “Seattle” you mean spend more on a cup of coffee than you would for a cocktail:
At $12 a cup, the coffee at Cafe Grumpy makes Starbucks seem like a bargain brew.
Made from handpicked beans grown and coddled in Ethiopia, the pricey grind will be sold starting today at the chain’s locations in Park Slope and Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and Chelsea.
“There are flavors you would expect in a really nice glass of wine — it’s a cacophony of nuances,” said Steve Holt, vice president of Ninety Plus Coffee, the company distributing the beans.
“You detect flavors of apricot, pineapple, bergamot, kiwi and lime. The deeper tones are levels of chocolate, and the finish is super clean.”
Just don’t ask for cream and sugar.
