Good coffee (esp the drip coffee), with good pastries for sale. Also try their dirty chai which is espresso shots in chai tea latte. It's a bit pricey but It's good coffee with a good ambience. I liked the rustic, cozy feel inside. There's plenty of seating and wait is never too long. Staff is friendly and pretty efficient. Free, self serve water is available. The locations is pretty convenient near herald square/pen station. It's always clean in here, and bathrooms are on 2nd floor.
I always come here for coffee when Im in the area.
My friend raves about Gregory coffee all the time so I decided that I would go try. I went to the location near 34th street. I always get ice Americano at most coffee shops to see if they have a good balance between the espresso they use and the amount of water they add. This is also a good way for me to benchmark and test their espresso. The price was very fair at only $3 for small ice Americano. So let's get on the coffee. The beans they use to make the ice americano is nice and dark with minimal sourness. It's just the way I like it. Though I take a star away for the time they let my espresso sit before they finally added it into cup of ice water. Otherwise this is a much better option than the Starbucks across the street. Without a doubt if you find yourself debatkng between Starbucks and Gregory's, its a no brainer to get Gregory's. Unless u like bad coffee..
Every Gregory's I go to is wonderful, and this is no exception. It's a large and airy space, with plenty of high top tables and seating. The bathroom and general environment is clean. The staff are friendly and patient, even during the rush-hour slam. Plenty of gluten-free, vegan, and sinful snacks to satisfy any craving. The chex-marshmallow treat is a huge brick of yummy goodness, not very sweet and more cereal than marshmallow.
"Let's think differently!"-is their slogan! I appreciate that, and i think it shows.
This Gregorys Coffee has Hipster-esque vibes and aesthetics to it!

Feel Good Music- Not too distracting (Up-to-date with some songs that will take you back to the good times 8 years ago)
They were giving out free samples of baked goods!
I got a whole wheat donut! It's sugary on the outside. I would like to think that the whole wheat-ness of the donut cancels out the unhealthiness.
They have coffee to stay! You don't have to get the plastic cups to go.
If you sit at the elevated bar table, there are hooks to hang things on to.
Good choices to the standard "go to" coffee establishments. Many unique selections of coffee for coffee lovers. We had the aeropress which was favorable and tasted well with the almond milk. The aeropress selections seem to change often as do some of the other coffee selections. Really a nice addition to the other coffee vendors and hey the prices seem a bit better too.
Friendly baristas (does this end in a for women and men?)
Line moves very fast (quicker than *bucks in my opinion)
Clean working space if you have a computer and homework/studying to do.
Can get crowded at peak hours as in you need to wait to get a seat at times.
Have classes on how to make the best coffee, espresso, cappuccino, etc.
Offer coffee gifts like thermoses(yes, I have one!), mugs with logos, bags of organic coffee with odd flavorings, and random baked goods.
Need a caffeine boost? Gregorys has got it.
My office used to be around the corner and my coworker would suggest coming here every time we needed some caffeine. I always order my standard vanilla latte (sorry for being basic) and the coffee here really packs a bigger punch. I'm usually adding milk in my latte to offset the strong coffee taste.
The cold brew is pretty good also. It's worth paying up in this area for something quality. It can get a little crowded but the line moves quickly.
Overall verdict: one of the better options in this part of Midtown but Culture still reigns supreme.
This was a fun place to stop while I was in New York!
I loved that they offered multiple milk types, being from TEXAS you don't see that very often at places.
I got a dirty chai and it was really good! They had cute mugs for sale and fun knick-knacks with their logo on it. Which is one of the best logos I've ever seen.
Multiple drink choices, fun frozen drink options and lots of baked treats!
I take away 1 star, just because it was a little slow. They had three people there but only one was making the drinks. But it wasn't ridiculous!
I'd come back for sure next time!
