Gregorys Coffee — Restaurant in Washington

This is one of the best locations of Gregory's coffee I've been to. (I've been to one New York location and three in DC so far.) I prefer Gregory's because of my plant based diet and the variety of foods and beverages available for people like me makes it one of the best spots for me to telework. The barista who assisted me, Rashawnda, was awesome with how she listened as I asked questions and considered trying new seasonal drinks. She also made my drink so pretty!! 😊 The location was really clean and had a good amount of space for people to sit down and chat or work. There's also street parking nearby. I came mid-afternoon this time, and there wasn't a line, but there were some people already there enjoying the plant vibes you get at Gregory's. My only feedback is the current menu setup. I noticed there aren't any warnings of nut allergy's on the drink or food items. Most of the drinks say almond or oatmilk if that's used, but one of the seasonal drinks I saw her making was made with pistachio milk foam instead of regular milk foam, but you wouldn't know from reading the menu. Overall, I would definitely recommend this location to suit your coffee, tea, and chill...

I'm sipping one of their mochas as I write this and I have to say I'm impressed. It isn't often that I get a great flavored coffee that isn't over sweetened. The coffee doesn't even have a hint of bitterness. The barista pulls a perfect shot. She also didn't overuse the mocha sauce or flavor. The coffee tastes a lot like Evan Bros out of Sandpoint, Idaho.

I also got a chocolate chip cookie, which isn't the best, but it's decent. I'm going to save the rest of it and put it in the microwave at home. I think it will be better. Chris, the cashier was super nice and extremely helpful. Wish I would've seen the baristas name, too. She is a very talented barista. Sheade a perfect heart in my crema! Anyways, the atmosphere was modern industrial. Not overly comfortable, but quaint. The service was excellent and fast. I'll be back when I'm back in DC in a few weeks.

If you are in the area try it. If a place can make a decent mocha, the rest of their coffees are generally going to...

Gregory's Coffee is the latest non-DC coffee shop chain to try to capitalize on the coffee wave hitting our nation's capital. I'm split on Gregory's. Here's what's to like and what's not to like:

What to like: Seating: They have plenty of tables and I've never had an issue finding an open table. -Outlets: Unlike many coffee shops, they have enough outlets for your computer AND smart phone. Wifi: They have free, strong, and reliable wifi.

What's not to like: -Coffee: It's not bad at all. It's just not the best in the city. Visit any local coffee shop (Peregrine, Colony Club, Maketto, Slipstream to name a few) and you'll have a better cup of coffee. -Pastries: I have a sweet tooth and love anything with chocolate and sugar in it. I've tried 4-5 different pastries at Gregory's and they aren't worth the steep price and/or calories. I've had the chocolate chip cookie, glazed donut, their breads, and a few muffins. Each has been super dry and not tasty at all.

Stop on in and you...
