Gregory’s Coffee
“Honestly, free wi-fi and 'coffee happy hour' from 12-2 pm is a great deal.”
“I recommend any latte (they have so many flavors too), regular black coffee, and the dirty chai (my favorite little guilty pleasure).”

This place gets really packed during mid-day. I guess that when everyone (like me) is in dying need of coffee.
Got a latte around $5, pretty good.
I really like the big spacious space available to study. There are a lot of other NYU students studying, so generally people are usually respectful to keep the noise minimal.
Coffee and table area were good, but both times i visited, the staff members looked miserable and didnt offer a welcoming vibe. If i am paying $5 for a drink, a smile wouldnt kill ya.
But, Free wifi (yay!)
Bathroom requires a code.
Nothing special here that you couldn't get at a Starbucks around the corner. The prices are kind of expensive for average coffee. They have tons of people working, but you still seem to end up waiting in line forever. Their menu is more limited than Starbucks and some other competing coffee places and their coffee was burnt and had been sitting out.
It was also mobbed when I went and the seats are on top of each other that you barely get any privacy (I was fortunate enough to sit next to a couple who was making out the entire two hours I was trying to study). The bathroom line comes right down the middle of everything, so someone waiting to pee is hovering over you trying to type your essay or take a conference call.
Overall, there really isn't an outstanding reason to go here other than its convenience. Starbucks will do.
Really nice and spacious cafe that offers great drinks which are worth the price attached to them. $5.15 for a medium sized latte is more on the expensive side compared to many other places but it was worth every penny. They have a variety of flavors but I chose to go with hazelnut. It was one of the best lattes I've ever tried…not only that but it was presented elegantly and as a coffee lover, I really appreciate it when my coffee not only tastes delicious but looks pretty too 🙂
There is a good amount of seating but it can get quite loud and this place is super packed during the afternoon hours. My friend and I stayed for about an hour and whenever we looked over towards the counter, it seemed like they had a never-ending line of customers. But it is with good reason! I'm happy to have found this place though, now I know where to go for my lattes if I'm ever in the city.
Stopped here in the early morning during a business trip and ordered a cappuccino. Although some of the reviews say it gets pretty packed mid-day, it was fairly empty in the morning so it's a good time to stop in for your first coffee of the day. The space itself was open and there are a lot of places to sit and read or work while you enjoy your coffee and pastries.
As for the drink itself, it was nothing special. Not much flavor and felt a little watered down. Their pastries looked pretty good though, so I wouldn't mind stopping back in and giving them a try.
Friend: "Gabby, you're such a hipster."
Me: "Uh…no I'm not."
Friend: "That's what all the hipsters say, esp. the ones who drink Gregory's Coffee."
But no, seriously, I'm not a hipster. I'm just a college student who loves trying new foods. Gregory's Coffee has been in my bookmarks for awhile and it's like a block away from where I go to school, so why the heck not? I've noticed that it's been slowly extending its reaches throughout Manhattan and MAY be the Starbuck's next formidable foe in the long run. This is also a refreshing sight from all the Starbucks that keeps popping up, block after block.
Walked in around 8AM in the morning to the wonderful smells of roasted coffee beans. Ordered a Caramel Macchiato, which was rich, creamy, and not watered down. The macchiato took awhile to come out since orders were piling in(Yes, New Yorkers have to get their coffee fix, no matter the time of the day) and there was only one person doing the latte art. I wouldn't recommend getting the baked goods…they don't seem fresh, but if you must, then go right ahead!
I'm no coffee connoisseur, but I must say, Gregory's Coffee is such a nice alternative to Starbuck's.
This place is aces. The line can be out-the-door if you're slow getting off the 6 train and all your fellow passengers beat you to the shop, but it always moves fast. The baristas are friendly and attentive.
Both hot and iced coffee are excellent. And for breakfast food: if I'm feeling like I should be healthy(er), the Swiss oatmeal (a loose yogurt/oatmeal/nuts/dried fruit combo) is outstanding and filling. If I'm feeling like I normally do, then they have ample whole wheat donuts for me to inhale (I've written about them in another review, but these are among my favorite donuts in the whole city).
Prices are definitely on the higher side, especially for a chainlet-type place, but I think it's worth it. Between this place, BRC, and Birch, this is a surprising good coffee area.
I'm surprised I haven't been here before. So since it's a typical Tuesday workday, I thought I would spice things up a bit and try something new. Overall, solid.
Despite of the huge morning rush line, I really liked the ambiance of this place. There's plenty of seating to do work, sip your coffee, or meet up with a friend. Plus, free wifi and an assortment of what seemed to be incredible baked goods.
I ordered a dirty chi, which came out to be about $5, which around here is normal but definitely a splurge. I wasn't necessarily "wowed" though. It was good, just not the best I've ever had. I wish I was more of a pastry person because all of the past reviewers seemed to really hype about the pastries. They did look delicious.
Overall, good place to go chat with your friends or finish work. If you're planning on doing this, try to avoid the chaotic morning rush, since it took me nearly 20 minutes to get a small drink.
Great coffee! I usually stopped by here on my way into work to grab an iced coffee.
The pastries always look amazing, but I try to avoid to keep off the weight. But gave in when I saw the rice krispie made with rice chex. It was worth it!
Prices are not too crazy either for this area.
Lots of seating and great space in this place. They also sell really cute merchandise. Staff is also always friendly and helpful.
