A decent coffee shop. I found my first cappuccino here was really nice. The 2nd time around it tasted like they had over roasted the beans. It was really bitter and tasted burnt. The staff here is always friendly and they have a selection of gut busting treats to tempt you. Again, good spot but just a bit hit or miss.
Apparently if you add glasses to anything you're labeled a hipster and we all know hipsters KNOW coffee. DO NOT be deceived by the glasses that Gregory wears, this is your run of the mill Star$'s coffee.
Sizes range from small (12oz) medium (16oz) and large (20oz). This would work for people who prefer their coffee with a good amount of milk/water but it doesn't work in regular cappuccinos, which should be made with a shot of espresso and foam. The cappuccino tasted like a regular latte with non-fat milk, and the regular latte tasted like a light decaf coffee. Basically, they tasted kind of commercialized: quantity versus quality.
The beans here are a tad sour and the latte i ordered was served a bit too hot (venture to guess 180+) similar to how Japanese restaurants scald there sake to cover up the terrible taste.
Service was quick with my order filled within 5 minutes. Decor is clean, similar to a Starbucks but with a different color palette and more minimalist look.

A good coffee with almond milk and soy options. None of that Starbucks drivel!
And good tasty healthy options for brekky too.
Win.
Fantastic coffee! That's all you really need to know. That's all I really care about at a coffee shop. The staff was pleasant too, if that matters to you. Worth a stop.
Best iced coffee in the city. The cold brew is so good that it almost tastes like chocolate. However, the coffee is quite pricey ($4 for an iced coffee). I wish they had some healthier food options. The chocolate croissant and the gluten free Chex Mix treat (like a Rice Krispie treat) is relish.
My new favorite jam in midtown. This place is fantastic. The staff are always so attentive and nice. The coffee is great and the pastry options will make you want to add a couple holes to your belt. This place is really good. Go here if you're in need, in the area, heck go out of your way, its awesome.
Tucked inside Madison avenue, this Gregory's opens at 6am and carries almond milk (both of those things make me happy). It's the sort of coffee shop that you just need to be "okay" because it's right by work or on your way to running errands. On the pricier side for the quality of the coffee.
My fave salesperson Dawnya, from the Walking Company UES, told me about this spot. In return for impeccable service, I wanted to treat her to a coffee, treat, and water. All about balance, right…
A single origin getting its drip on while the Barista and I chat was cool. To my right was Dawnya, leaving with her own coffee and treat.
Aw shucks, these were for you…next time…next time.
The Barista was ready to refund the order so quickly. Maybe it was a psychological marketing ploy playing on my I hate waste frugality…And she was very cute…
But no. I bought my order.
On the UWS, there are great coffee shops, so I was not blown away. The taste was great. No sugar needed. No cream needed. Coffee. The way it is supposed to be. The Cinnamon pastry was bipolar sweet/tart. Worked well with the Honduras Roast.
It will probably be part of my routine when shoe shopping.
