Grumpy Storm — Restaurant in Bustos

We've been to countless coffee shops and cafes around Luzon, but this one has the best customer service! To start with, we didn't really plan to go to this place. My wife, our dog 🐶, and I were on a short late-night road trip and decided to grab coffee when we saw this shop. Upon sitting down at an alfresco table, we were immediately offered seats inside the store since pets are welcome there. We insisted on staying outside because our dog isn't used to having many people around him. The staff promptly gave us water to drink and complimentary whipped cream for our baby doggo! 🍦 At that point, my wife was still in the queue—we hadn't even ordered anything yet!

We never expected this level of service, especially since we weren't dressed very well, didn't bring our best ride, and our dog was filthy from not bathing for days (just had his meds). I actually looked like someone who just woke up, with holes in my shorts and worn-out t-shirt, but they treated us like premium customers! We only ordered a blueberry cheesecake and drinks for me and my wife, so we can't comment on the rest of the food. But hey! We believe that the good vibes brought by the staffs will definitely enhance your dining experience. I can't express how much their simple gesture made us really happy! 🥰 We're definitely coming back!

PS. We've tried more expensive coffee than theirs, but this place didn't...

Grumpy Storm is truly a hidden gem worth visiting. The café boasts an extensive menu with a variety of delicious offerings and everything we sampled was delightful. The desserts and beverages, especially the Matcha, stood out as favorites. It’s become our go-to spot for a quick and satisfying merienda.

The ambiance is another highlight. The space is cozy, inviting, and never too crowded, perfect for relaxed conversations with friends and family. Every corner is thoughtfully designed and visually appealing, making it an ideal backdrop for photos.

Service is exceptional. The staff are warm, accommodating, and attentive to special requests. We appreciated how they customized our drinks exactly as we asked, less ice and fewer espresso shots without compromising on quality.

We also had the pleasure of celebrating my mother’s birthday at Grumpy Storm Skye Deck, and the experience was truly memorable. Their Grazing Table is a standout feature, beautifully arranged and filled with delectable desserts, fresh fruits, and flavorful pasta. The entire process, from booking to the event itself, was seamless. The owner was especially welcoming and made us feel...

We had a nice experience at Grumpy Storm. The place was cozy and classy, and I liked the small touches like the candle on the table.

We ordered Salisbury Steak, Garlic Pepper Beef, and Honey Garlic Chicken Wings. The food was tasty and the servings were good for the price, though I hope the chicken flavor goes deeper into the meat. Too bad the salad wasn’t available, I was really looking forward to that.

One small thing we noticed was the gap in serving time. Some dishes arrived much earlier than the others, so they sat on the table getting cold while we waited. It would’ve been nicer if the food came out a bit closer together so everything could be enjoyed while still warm.

The staff were friendly and all smiles, very easy to talk to!

For takeout, we got the Basque Burnt Cheesecake, Biscoff Croissant, and the Skye Classic S’mores. I really liked the drink, just a light sweetness that didn’t overpower the coffee. The croissant looked great, but it tasted more like a plain one than a Biscoff-flavored pastry.

Overall, still a lovely visit....
