Gregorys Coffee is a New York-based coffee roaster and retailer. The company logo is designed to look like its founder, with two mugs for glasses and a full head of wavy-hair.

History

Gregorys Coffee was founded by Gregory Zamfotis in 2006, with its first location on Park Avenue and 24th Street in Manhattan. The company is a part of the third wave coffee or specialty coffee industry.[1] The company's preferred brew method is the aeropress.[2][3] The company opened their 24th shop in the summer of 2017.[4]

Locations

The company currently has cafés in Manhattan, New Jersey, Brooklyn, and Washington, DC.[5][6][7]

In September 2016, Gregorys opened a roastery and commissary in Long Island City Queens, New York.[8] Later that year opened its first location outside of Manhattan, located on the Jersey City waterfront.[9]

In 2016, the company signed a 15-year lease at 16 Court Street, Brooklyn. This is the first in the borough.[10]

In 2017, Gregorys opened several coffee shops in Washington, DC.
