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 Yelp, 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 decor is always really nice, so I wanted to go in, but I'm not a coffee drinker:(
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.
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.
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.
Nice place to hang out! There is plenty of seating space. The food is good for an afternoon snack and coffee is great.
So far my favorite location on account of the service being super quick. It's gregs, what do you expect? It's amazing coffee!
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.
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 68th and 1st opens, I know I'll be saying buh-bye to Starbucks when my mid-day chai cravings hit.
