Gregory's — Restaurant in Municipality of Sparta

Excellent Morning Coffee, Disappointing Evening Service

The freddo crema here is fantastic in the mornings — made properly and exactly how it should be. Along with that, I loved their cinnamon bun and handmade spinach pie. The morning staff were also very friendly and quick, which made the experience enjoyable and welcoming.

Unfortunately, the evenings are a completely different story. When I ordered the Granita Mango–Passion Fruit on two separate nights, I was never given the strawberry straw that usually comes with it.

The biggest disadvantage of the store is that you 're looking for a cheese pie or something, there are several pastry shops nearby with better quality...
