“ I was looking for a nice spot to have a coffee and actually get a seat. There were no spots across the street at the popular chain and I wanted a fresh not frozen tasteless pastry. So lo and behold, facing me on the opposite corner, a Gregory . There were even a few seats and as I have been to Gregory before, I knew the pastries would be delish. The walnut cranberry scone has big juicy cranberries and a crispy crust. Inside moist and flavorful. The chain across the street has little stingy cakes they charge 5 for. At Gregory the pastries are generous size and a small coffee and a pastry are 8, not 11 or 12. The coffee was smooth and full bodied with a nice caffeine kick. Yumm! I do agree with one post that said the Coffee Crumb Cake needs to be moister and sweeter but the other pastries are delicious so made up for that. ”
“ Strong coffee and pleasant apple cinnamon muffin, with crusty top and moist interior. Open tables during the week, mostly with people meeting and working. Relaxed staff vibe and overall clean. Convenient place for idle caffeinating. ”
“ We stopped in for quick breakfast. It's around 7:25am on a weekday. Very quiet and we proceeded to order at the register. The cashier was polite and patient with my order (I am not a regular). We ordered turkey sausage egg bites, the New Yorker and a Deluxe (food items) A regular coffee, a hibiscus Iced tea and a Iced proffee (coffee with protein foam). All food items came out pipping hot. Better than Starbucks (for me). The sausages in egg bites and Deluxe were not salty . The drinks were good. ”
“ I tasted a Matcha Cherry Blossom with a matcha brownie. The matcha brownie was so delicious, and the matcha was smooth with a delicate flavor of cherry blossom! The people who work in this cafe were so kind. That’s why I recommend you try this place for breakfast or an afternoon snack. ”
“ I only had the coffee but it was the best ive had in this area!! Very smooth not too bitter. I highly recommend! ”
“ Great spot to grab a coffee and sit down to do some work/ read a book to escape the cold. Every Starbucks in the neighborhood is over crowded and over priced with a level of cleanliness that does not compete with this place. Not to mention the staff is friendly and the coffee is good. ”
“ I love Gregory’s. Tasty menu. Consistent drinks. Vegan food options. Milk variety. Multiple locations. Reward system. ”
“ Beautiful new location on 3rd ave. They have plenty of sitting. My cappuccino is consistently good. My barista always has a smile. I tried match latte today with almond milk and it was excellent!! ... ”
