The company logo is designed to look like its founder, with two mugs for glasses and a full head of wavy-hair.


History[edit]

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.[2] The company's preferred brew method is the aeropress.[3][4] The company opened their 24th shop in 2017.[5]

Locations[edit]

The company currently has cafés in Manhattan, New Jersey, Brooklyn, and Washington, D.C.[6][7][8]

In September 2016, Gregorys opened a roastery and commissary in Long Island City, Queens, New York.[9] Later that year opened its first location outside of Manhattan, located on the Jersey City waterfront.[7]

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, D.C.

In March 2020, Gregorys temporarily closed all 31 of their shops due to the coronavirus pandemic.[11]
