After years of proudly serving coffee in Grand Central Terminal, our lease is up for bid.

This means going up against large, investor-backed chains - and as an independently owned and operated small business, we simply can’t compete on the same financial level.

But what we do have is something far more meaningful: a community that cares. Café Grumpy has never just been about coffee - it’s been about daily rituals, familiar faces, and the connections we’ve built together over the years.

If this space has ever meant something to you, please sign this petition. Help us show the decision-makers that this place matters - and that we deserve a fair shot at staying.

We’ll be sharing this petition with the MTA to show them how much this shop means to real New Yorkers - and to all the travelers, commuters, and coffee lovers who’ve made us part of their daily routine.

Please share with friends and on social media. Your voice could make all the difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this community. We’re so proud to be here - and we’re fighting to keep it that way.

Thank you,
Caroline
Café Grumpy
