Gregorys Coffee

great coffee. this is my goto coffee shop.

Arguably my favorite coffee spot (I also love Olives and Oslo). The coffee here is not bitter at all and has a smooth and toasty consistency (huge coffee snob here).
I urge all NYrs to skip Starbucks and go here instead.

Only four stars cuz their stuff is overpriced otherwise would rate them 5 stars.
Nice décor, setup and staff. Latte was on point and savory. Just a tad bit expensive but would rather support them any day over starbucks. No comparison, hands down.
Will b my weekly treat when I can splurge financially.

The coffee and service gets 5 stars! Out of TP in the bathroom gets 3 stars. Their almond milk latte was one of the creamiest I have had. I love the little tables tucked in the back of the shop.

I ordered a cold brew and a croissant here. Both were mediocre. The cold brew was way too acidic and also not cold enough. The croissant was also pretty hard. I think it was towards the end of the day though, so the baked goods had been sitting out for a while.

I had a bathroom emergency when I came (tmi I know), so I’m promptly asked one of the workers if I could use their bathroom and I promised I would buy something.
I debated whether to actually buy something because I don’t like coffee. On Unilocal,it says they sold tea too, so I felt better about keeping my promise. Unfortunately, when they say tea, they mean chai tea, my least favorite tea lol
So I got the morning boost smoothie, $ 7.00 after tax, which pretty much tastes like breakfast. It was very good, but the granola was very gritty that I kept coughing. It had banana, strawberry, blueberry, granola, low fat yogurt, and some other stuff.
I wish they had a more extensive menu because I’ve seen quite a few of this franchise and the décor is always really nice, so I wanted to go in, but I’m not a coffee drinker:(

After ignoring Gregory’s Coffee for the past couple of years (didn’t love their black coffee), I tried their almond latte at this location recently.
I did not expect to be so impressed with it. It was silky smooth, thick foam, slight sweetness. I realized at some point that I was dreamily mmmmming out loud after each sip.
My friend is obsessed with their whole wheat donut and when she shared it with me, I could see why. Among all the dessert and pastry options, donuts are probably ones I could go the longest without. However, the donut here has a very light glaze, so it’s not awfully sweet, and the whole wheat adds to the texture so each bite is more satisfying. It’s quite delicious and I would get it again. In fact most of their pastries seem rather irresistible.
Unfortunately their smoothie bowls are way overpriced for the tiny quantity, I daresay you would get a better «deal» (less of a rip-​off) even at the unconscionably expensive Juice Press.
Stick to their lattes and pastries.

So far my favorite location on account of the service being super quick. It’s gregs, what do you expect? It’s amazing coffee!

The baristas here at Lexington were just simply remarkable, friendly, and daring. Why daring? The fact that the barista who served me dared to pour my latte over the brim of the cup, AND managed not to spill it!
Can a Starbucks barista do that? I didn’t think so.
That probably took a lot of skill, of course, so props to her. Obviously, we had some laughs over that, but it was all cool in the end. On top of that, it was a really good latte, with some really good latte art. The baristas are super friendly and chill, and the vibe is really nice because of the music. It’s not as noisy as starbucks, and it also has free wifi and more seating, so give this place a try. The prices are good too, and I hope to be back here to try one of their smoothies.

Loved their macchiato shot and americanos! Still pretty quiet atmosphere, they have more seats when you actually go deep inside the store, and the staff seemed to be all friendly and nice! I often drop for coffee during my school break.

Gregorys Coffee will always and forever make me think of my friend India; she worked at one of the original locations near Penn Station five summers ago for a whopping three weeks before starting her PhD program, but I remember always traveling down there just to get her to make me dirty chais. Ahhhh, memories from the summer of 2011…
Anyways…
I needed a place to crash for a few hours between the end of my work day and a 7:30 p.m. dinner. I wasn’t too keen to the idea of sitting in my office for another two hours, and sitting at a Starbucks didn’t appeal to me, either. After some searched, I was excited to see that Gregorys opened an UES location near Hunter College (…and I’m even more excited to see one will be opening soon, just one block away from my UES office! YASSSS!). I entered and was pleased to see a cheery place with lots of seating up front and in the rear. I ordered my chai and a piece of chocolate rugelach to and retreated to the rear to cozy up with my book for a few hours. The rugelach was delicious with a good balance of cinnamon and chocolate, and the chai borders more on authentic rather than just some chai concentrate; the notes of anise were omnipresent, which I liked.
I’m glad there is a Gregorys in this part of the city. And once its location on 68^th and 1^st opens, I know I’ll be saying buh-​bye to Starbucks when my mid-​day chai cravings hit.

So far I have been to two Gregory’s locations and have loved both! The coffee — in my case, Almond milk latte — is consistently good– The baristas are friendly and professional. The clientel is interesting, for people watchers like me. There are outlets to charge the phone. and the restrooms are clean and in working order. Room for me to sit and sketch, too!.. A few more vegan options would be nice (muffins, maybe), but even without, this place will be my new city hangout, to start my day, or pickup my afternoon.

There’s just something about their lattes here that is absolutely amazing! I always ask for a pump of vanilla and caramel syrup — just makes the lattes even better. Their drinks are very smooth and are consistently more-​than-​satisfying. This is my favorite new place to stop for coffee — and it’s in NYC exclusively! So if you’re visiting NYC, definitely come here for your morning coffee!
I also love their whole «image» and the ambiance of the place is perfect for a great coffee shop. There’s plenty of seating, outlets, and FREE WIFI. Gotta love free Wifi.
The staff here isn’t particularly mean or particularly nice — they just get the job done and make a hella good latte, so I’m not complaining!
TIPS!
1) Download the app if you come here a lot (like me) because you get $ 2 off by just downloading the app/​signing up and for every $ 50 you spend, you get $ 5 off!
2) Their doughnuts are actually so. good. I don’t know why. Usually coffee shops’ food can be «ehh», but they’re honestly delicious. Sometimes they even have free samples at the front!

Stopped by for a quick coffee, and settled on the Cold Brew, which was quite good and reasonably priced $ 2.50. Also tried the chex mix crispy treat, which was AMAZING. Rice crispies treat but better. Actually all their pastries looked delicious. My friend got a cappuccino and said it was one of the best ones she’s had. Definitely a quality place.
In addition, the ambience is warm and inviting with plenty of seating and a private-​ish room in the back that seemed perfect for working. People were definitely on their laptops. It’s hard to find a good coffee shop with seats, so this is definitely a gem.

Awesome coffee! Get an aero pressed coffee, don’t be a cheapskate and get the regular drip, you’re wasting your time if you do. Might as well go to Dunkin or Bucks! Cough up a few bucks for the aeropress single origin. You won’t regret it.

Such a cute, cozy place to grab a cup a coffee and chill. Came here with a few friends. Very spacious. Perfect for doing work or catching up with friends.

Great place to come hang out, catch up, or do some work. The coffee here is great. They do their Aeropress-​ing a bit differently than the instructions say, but the results are awesome. Can’t argue with that. If they have the Beriti, get it… there’s hints of peach and jasmine in the aftertaste which is really cool. You always see coffee places put descriptors on their coffees in terms of the natural flavors and aromas, but you often don’t taste them. This place does a great job of preparing the coffee in a way that brings out all the natural flavors of the coffee.
I’m not too crazy about their baked goods, but I’ve only tried a couple of them. I’ll try them again and update if I get a chance,
All the employees are super courteous and professional, which is always much appreciated.

Redeemed some LevelUp credit on the crazy-​looking cinnamon blowout and a rugelach (the flavor of which was unbeknownst to them) — both were fine.
They were pushing their standalone app hard, which they made it seem like was separate from but connected to LevelUp. In any event, their $ 50 for $ 5 is a nice low threshold for rewards.

Needed coffee on a break between classes and decided to give this place a try. Very trendy atmosphere that comes through by way of the décor and starbucks-​esque menu/​prices. There was no line, or any other customer in the shop, for that matter, when I came by around noon on a Wednesday. Every staff member near me behind the counter (there were about three of them) greeted me as I walked up to survey the pastries.
I ordered a vanilla latte and chocolate croissant, both priced at a point that let me know I was on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The croissant was not warmed before it was served to me, but it was still perfectly flaky and delicious (I am not sure if there is a warming option; I did not ask). I watched my barista make my latte with care, taking her time and creating a leaf design in my milk foam. It was the perfect temperature for immediate drinking but tasted mediocre at best.
I have since returned three times and ordered the same drink, and each time I’ve been disappointed. I guess I just don’t like their brew.

Stumbled upon this place on my way to school and I decided to give a try since I hadn’t had breakfast yet. My cappuccino was great, and the pre-​made oatmeal in the fridge was really good: vanilla, yogurt, apple, raisins, nuts; awesome breakfast for the health-​conscious like me.
There are plenty of outlets to charge your phone or laptop and enough sitting (at least until everyone gets to know this new spot :/​)
Great place for Hunter students, definitely we needed this in the neighborhood!
