Gregorys Coffee

Just about everything, and everyone, in midtown annoys me, EXCEPT Gregory’s coffee. They hit the right note on every level. Not too commercial, not too disaffected-​hipster, they are JUST RIGHT! The staff are always friendly and pleasant without being over the top. Today I asked if they could make an almond milk latte with half water/​half almond milk. It was made by a talented young lady and it came out wonderfully well — it should be named after her and added to the menu! If it doesn’t sound delicious, well trust me, it was. Gregory’s is my oasis in midtown, my happy place! Kudos to the cashiers and baristas, and managers too, whatever your doing, don’t stop!

Cute spot that isn’t overcrowded by tourists! The coffee was okay, but if you really cared that much about coffee you’re better off at Blue Bottle.

The coffee is horrible — Starbuck’s is much better. I hate to mention competitor names but it’s a good benchmark as most people know the chain. Customer service is also poor. Nice décor though.

About as happenin’ as its other locations. The location and employees are pretty satisfactory. It’s a little roomier than the other ones I have been in.

Nice coffee bar to sit and relax with your cup of joe. Some price as every other coffee place. Coffee is good.

I love Gregory’s!!!
Especially this location.
I came here today and stayed in my corner for 5 hours. No one said anything to me and the staff were all so courteous.
I had the kona something… Which was aero pressed coffee and it was really good. It wasn’t overly strong. Plus, for those that enjoy soy milk: they have free soy milk!
Free wifi. Clean bathroom… Nice staff. And great coffee. What more can I ask for?

Finally a coffee shop in NY that has done it right! I was looking for a coffee shop close to my office and after reading some reviews I came in to try for myself. Walked in and automatically liked the setup of the shop and everything else about it. Very cool vibe with great pastries displayed right at me which made me want to order them all but I have good will power. The woman at the register was extremely friendly and helpful when I was ordering. I told her I’ve never been here and she asked what I was looking for and then recommended.
Coffee was hot and fresh and tasted delicious. If I had more time I would have stayed in and relaxed but had to get back to work. Definitely coming back here when in NY for work. All around this is a cool spot for coffee with a wide selection of pastries and coffee.

While coffee quality at Gregory’s has suffered a bit from the effects of mass production from franchising, this relatively hidden location of Gregory’s has one of the most relaxing, airy ambiance for a coffee shop in Midtown. It is also one of the cleanest coffee shops by far. It certainly helps that it is not too crowded even during rush hours.
While the coffee quality is fair, the selection is plentiful between the house blend and a variety of single origins. The banana bread and other pastries pastries are as good as any other Gregory’s location. Lastly, the store manager, Joseph, and his team are very friendly and pleasant company. As a whole, Gregory’s remains a well oiled machine and continues to provide the midtown workplace with solid coffees and pastries for all occasions (including holiday promotions). Keep up the great work!

Another great location. This one has ample seating and is convenient to Bryant Park and plenty of trains. The staff are nice. The snacks, both healthy and indulgent, are plentiful and labeled for allergens and special diets. For the holidays they have a special– make a paper snowflake and get a free 12 beverage! Definitely worth the couple of minutes.

This place opened up relatively recently. A co-​worker often goes here, and she raves about the place. I decided to try it out.
Yes, the coffee is very good. I like the redeye, which is regular coffee with a shot of espresso. Of course, you can order the various types of coffee, espresso, lattes, cappuccino, etc.
So, if you are looking for an alternative to Starbucks, this is the place.
Unfortunately, Gregory’s Coffee is just as expensive as Starbucks. They also sell donuts at $ 2.50 each. I was tempted to take my rating down to three stars just for that, but their coffee is really good.
Also, the staff here is very friendly and helpful. They were polite and answered my questions.
And the décor is nice too.

Love their whole wheat glazed donut!

I went there yesterday with a friend, in the early/​mid-​afternoon.
The positives: the staff were very pleasant (and the barista was particularly endearing, as his face was «done up» for Halloween), there’s a decent amount of seating, and the restroom was clean. I got a small drip coffee ($ 2.35 with tax).
The big negative: they BLASTED (pulsating) music the whole time (and when I asked one of them if she could please turn down the music, she said she couldn’t because it’s behind a wall), to the extent whereby my friend & I had to practically *yell* in order to hear each other — and we were sitting at a tiny table. Also, the coffee was barely even mediocre-​tasting.
Due to the miserable situation with the non-​stop blasting music, I won’t return.

Who doesn’t love hipster-​esq coffee in a modern day coffee shop setting with free Wi-​Fi?

I was meeting with a coworker in the neighbourhood, and suggested Starbucks for the location — thankfully, he instead suggested Gregory’s which had far superior coffee. Unfortunately for me, I’m not sure when I’ll be back in the area — but when I am, I’ll certainly be stopping by for all my caffeine needs.
Highly recommend this coffee shop!

Pretty big place with a unique décor that leaves you curious and wanting to know more about it. Cool posters and great selection of breakfast pastries. I haven’t tried much aside from a few coffee drinks from here. The drinks were alright — run-​of-​the-​mill drip coffee. The Aero-​pressed coffee is actually quite impressive. Great flavor to it. Not too bold, but very nice for the first cup of coffee you drink on a Monday morning.
I come back from time to time… but it’s not something I crave.

Great staff and nice coffee. They do milk drawing on your drink which is super cute.(they always draw a heart) You know what’s the best? They are not crowd like Starbucks as usual so you don’t need to wait too long for your drink.

Drink was well made, but the espresso wasn’t great and neither was the food.

Very pleasant place-​en route to the dentist and had time to kill-​not overly crowded (which was nice).Dentist is in area so will return and recommend.

Great staff, so friendly.
For those people who complained and said the staff «rudely yelled out names for drinks», maybe it’s because you were glued to your phone and not paying attention., yeah, that’s probably it.
Only thing is the snacks are so fatty, wish they had a slightly healthier selection.

Stop in for latte today. Nonfat. It was decent. A darker roast to the bean. But clean tasting. No aftertaste.
They had some pastries. And some sort of yogurt based items. I’m honestly not sure what they were. Looked interesting. I wish they had some sort of healthy vegetarian breakfast option. Yogurt didn’t have ingredient label, so I didn’t know if it was vegetarian or not. They had a ham pastry. Only other option was sugar. It would be nice to have oatmeal, or more savory pastry option that didn’t have meat.
