Gregorys Coffee — Restaurant in New York

The original location next to the Credit Suisse buildings that enabled Gregorys to expand.

I was a true Gregular in the first two years of its existence, dropping by 4 to 5 times a day (worked at CS across the street). Cappuccinos were alright, never great, but baristas were really nice. They put in the effort and never minded to make a few adjustments to make it right for me.

Afterwards, once Gregorys started expanding to other locations, the hiring approach changed: now it’s just a corporate place, another Starbucks. Good baristas either do not get hired here, probably due to lower pay, or move on to better places.

So, here you go:

Extremely sour espresso( mainly due to poor skill and no standardized approach to making it). Coupled with the dark roast without any sweetness to it makes for a horrible experience. Foam is non-existent, you get a latte instead of a cappuccino. And it’s not a good one either, aka the Starbucks latte. Huge bubbles, extremely hot.

Just as at the Starbucks, order something else, but espresso...

I love getting coffee from here before class and in the mornings the staff is usually very friendly and amazing even when it’s really busy. However last evening I went around 5-5:30pm and the guy who took my order had such a nasty attitude from the jump from his looks to the way he talked. I asked if the kitchen/food was still open and he said “depends on what you want” scanned my code and then added something after and when i asked if i should can it again he said “if you want to get your points for the sandwich” but in a rude way almost with an eye roll as if I was bothering him by simply ordering. The lady who actually made my coffee was really nice but he definitely needs to work on his attitude and the only reason I still tipped was for the lady who was making the coffee. He made me want to get out of there so bad that I almost grabbed the wrong order. I’ve been a barista for almost 3 years and I’ve never been that way with a customer nor have I experienced that anywhere else especially in this location, he needs an...

Gregory's Coffee Shop is consistently featured on my go-to list. The staff are always courteous and attentive to customer needs. The shop Its self is clean and decor welcoming. I particularly appreciate their menu options for those with food sensitivities; their gluten-free donut bites are quite enjoyable, and the ganache brownie offers just the right balance of chocolate flavor to rise and pistachios. I have tried to order the Sea the Glow several times; however, due to high demand, it is often sold out by the time l arrive. Nevertheless, the menu offers numerous excellent choices, and the Iced Cherry Blossom is one of my favorites--a vegan cold foam over a smooth latte topped with rose petals, which is absolutely delightful. Please note that enjoying this beverage depends on your appreciation of rose petal flavors, as each sip seems to improve. I highly recommend...
