Good food, drinks, service, and vibe. It's also great that the staff is always courteous.

Went to 2 different locations and both were great! The first one we went to was spacious and had great decor. The second one was smaller but still had several places to sit. The banana chocolate chip ball was great! All four coffees we tried were delicious. Definitely recommend. read more

Gregorys Coffee - Salted Caramel Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Terrible service. Mocha tasted awful, muffins tasted stale. The girl at the counter did not get food order right and blamed it on customer not speaking loud enough even though she had to change her order because the coffee shop was out of what she originally ordered. So how is it she heard the first time but not the second item? Also, did not get a receipt and the girl was argumentative. When I asked for a manager I was told he was in the restroom. Ten minutes later I asked them to tell the manager that he had a customer waiting and the girl said he was in the restroom and if she should hurry him and I said yes. When she returned, she said the manager had stepped out to get some supplies. Will never return, the management and staff are both just as bad. read more

I love the fact lace just depends what location I visit. Navy Yard has to be my fave! The staff there is super friendly and takes their time making sure you get what you're looking for. They don't mind helping you figure it out! read more

We got the Skinny sandwich and 2 coffees. The egg on the sandwich was ice cold, and it looked nothing like the advertised pic. 0/10. Will not be returning. read more

Vegan bar and vanilla latte is my go-to for a quick breakfast. Both are delicious and have been ready and waiting for me earlier than scheduled when ordering online. read more

A relaxing comfy place to enjoy a cup of coffee and breakfast, the environment is a bit rushed and can be overwhelming but more so due to the area. The coffee was very good and food is decent at best. read more

My cappuccino was on point - as always- and the new vegan croissant with pecans and maple was fresh and tasty; Gregory's is making a serious effort to improve and stand up and above the general coffee shop streams, congratulations! read more

Every time I go there I think I'm going to like it more than the last time. But I don't. The coffee isn't very good, selection isn't great, service is slow, and the drinks are overpriced. I just threw out an iced "proffee", which was grainy and not at all what was pictured. I just wasted $8. read more

Really disappointing that the owner replies to every review but has obviously done nothing to create a better environment for the customers AND employees. I saw in the reviews that recently customer service has sucked and they're not wrong... Poor single girl behind the counter is obviously working her ass off to service a packed house. No hot food available and we came for a snack. Got a muffin instead and it tasted like it absorbed old seafood smell... bumped up a star cause the Fall Oat Boy is delicious but would not recommend overall due to bad staffing on managements part. read more

I wanted to love it. But not. I got a simple drip coffee and asked where the bar was to add cream. So the woman said she would add the cream for me and I could watch to see if it was the right amount! what are they afraid of, that I/customers would steal something from a condiment bar? So I watched her and when it looked right, I said ok and she handed me the lid. No stirring! I just couldn't ask for that, it all seemed so silly. But honestly the coffee was not that great. I won't go back even though I live nearby. read more

Coffee made my toes curl and the place looked cool. I mean that place and get a little cramped but my god once you find a seat you WILL be ascending into heaven. read more

This hip coffee spot in Penn Quarter has a lot of options for my favorite drink - the cold brew! They have an entire cold brew menu, with great options like the Nu Brew (Nutella mixed in), the Honey Badger, and Smashed Pumpkins (which are exactly what they sound like). They also have other lattes (Hall and Oats, Fall Oat Boy) and plenty of breakfast sandwiches as well. They have a nice space in the store, as well as seating outside. I didn't come here to study, but that might be my move next time around. read more

The food was not worth the price. The bread was stale and the yogurt parfait has no flavor. Online they say that they offer a wide variety of foods and drinks, but this location barely has anything. (Ex: no smoothies/juices, avocado toasts, etc) Service was good and the people were nice. read more

The morning crew--two African American females, one short with short hair, the other with long braids--are extremely rude and disrespectful to customers. I have experienced this several times, and observed them display this behavior towards other customers. Excellent beverages and food, abysmal customer service. Management, please address this. read more

Coffee is okay, food is all packaged and microwaved, might as well be from McDonald's. Watched the workers hair go into someone's guacamole toast. Gross. The inside of the store is nice but that's about it. Do not recommend read more

Excellent brew and amazing service. Great spot for espresso in Gallery Place Chinatown area.

Sold out of everything. So I ask for a drip coffee. The cashier speaks so little english she can't even understand that. I said it several times. Gave up and left in the end. Come on guys - save yourself the labor and let me order on a screen. It would be less useless than a cashier who can't even speak english. ‍ read more

Coffee was okay, but the cashier was incredibly rude. I placed my order and cashier told me the order would be received on the opposite end. I was looking at the coffee machine and I planned to ask her what it was called. Instead, she repeated herself in a loud and rude manner. I would not come back here. read more

Cute cafe. Convenient location to grab a quick cup of coffee & bite to eat on a beautiful morning of walking & exploration of the nearby sights. Limited seating. Clean restrooms. read more

My wife and I got coffees, I got the Nu Brew and she got the Hall and Oats. We both really enjoyed our drinks and the chocolate croissant was soft a flaky. Would definitely go again. read more

Definitely a busy coffee shop but worth the wait! The pastries are delicious especially when they're fresh out of the oven and the drink selection will no disappoint! read more

Great coffee and service. Very nice casual setting. The zucchini bread was delicious. Definitely going again.

This is my absolute favorite location!! They are all so friendly and remember my order. Definitely recommend!!

Our conference was around the corner, so this was our go-to for a.m. java. I try to patronize local shops instead of Starbucks whenever possible. The coffee was good and pastries delicious. The line moved quickly to order and pay, but then it seemed a tad disorganized. I didn't have to wait long tho, so it's all good. The store is cute and the app gives you a free coffee just for downloading! read more

My cappuccino was fine, the service was good. But you can't log in to the wifi without signing up for emails from the company. The business will literally not allow you to sign into the wifi unless you give them your email address. Additionally, they only serve bottles of water. So unfortunately, it's Starbucks for me from now on. Where I can get water that I don't have to pay for, and wifi with no strings attached. read more

tried their chai latte and oh my god. life-changing experience. staff were super kind and accommodating as well; i asked for my drink to be less sweet and it came out perfectly. my friends ordered a hot chocolate, and they loved it as well. read more

tried two different cold brews in an iced latte. Underwhelmed to save the least, and that is me being nice. The coffee was bitter and one of the cold brews had too much sweetener. Very cute atmosphere bad coffee wouldn't recommend. wonderful service though! Everyone was very kind in there just bad coffee read more

Cappuccino was very smooth and wonderful. We also ordered the DMV which was scrumptious! Cute little cafe on the corner. Go here instead of a boring old Starbucks! read more

Amazing coffee and great food. Highly recommend the fall oat boy and the vegan burrito, although everything is really good!

This review is long overdue. I have been coming to the Gregory's in Penn Quarter just about every day since they opened back in September 2021. It is a wonderful oasis where one can work or chill in a relaxed/positive environment. The coffee and food are always amazing. My favorites to date are the vegan deluxe, hall and oats, lean green, cacao cherry bite, and the fall oat boy. Most notably the staff is absolutely incredible. In particular, Holly, Jess. and Secunah. Most hard working, friendly, and caring folks you'll meet. Very appreciative for such a wonderful spot in the heart of Penn Quarter. read more

Got the honey badger and chocolate chip cookie. Excellent hot coffee and perfectly moist cookie. Service was perfect on top of it all. The young lady working the register was very helpful and patient with me as it was my first visit at a Gregory's. Coffee and Kabob is my middle name. I know a good coffee and this, my Yelp companions, is a hidden gem. Do yourself a favor and skip your traditional Starbucks or Dunkin' and visit Gregory's. You'll thank Johnny D! read more

I got a salted caramel cold brew at lunchtime. It wasn't too busy. I pondered the menu for a moment and then someone took my order. Someone else courteously took my refuse from Seoul Spice. I have a sweet tooth, and the drink was a little too rich, even for me, but I gulped it down in no time. The straws are right there on the counter, easy to procure. I will definitely be back to try another drink on the extensive menu. I wish I lived closer and I'd come every other day. I'd try the food but Seoul Spice is right next door and I'm trying to fill up my loyalty card there. read more

Great selection of vegan sandwiches and their coffee is really good, better than most comparable price points. Will definitely be coming back. read more

They took my money (and tip), but didn't bother to make my drink. I ended up here because it was about 6 pm and Pitango and Compass were both closed. I was the only one in line, I paid for a small cappuccino, and in the more than 10 minutes that I stood waiting, 3 more customers came in for brewed coffee or food. The two employees behind the counter helped them first. Then after the last customer left, I was still standing waiting while the two employees spent another 5 minutes doing something with what looked to be a pail of processed syrup. So I walked up and asked for a refund. They don't know how to do that. So I just glared and walked out. Do you think I will come back again when they stole around $4.50 and a dollar tip? read more

The food microwaved and the coffee was ok. The server spilled the hot coffee on my hand without apologizing. I've read comments that the service is friendly - it's obvious we went be a grouch day. read more

Understaffed. Entered and the line quickly got longer and overwhelming for the two baristas. They looked stressed and overworked. One barista had to make a smoothie but they ran out of bananas so she looked flustered. The other just looked pissed every drink she had to make. Overall, I felt bad for the two but the service was just poor. They clearly needed help read more

The coffee shop was clean and bright... but that's about all the positives I can say. I ordered a cappuccino and instead got espresso with 14 oz of milk, barely steamed. The flavor was not particularly good, especially at a price point of $6. I will not return here. read more

The bakery goods were good here (chocolate croissant and rum raisin bread) and probably their lattes, as I got a cappuccino that was more to the taste of a latte. That said, my cappuccino was not what I expected and not strong enough to my taste- it also tasted like the milk was a little scalded. Staff also seemed a bit unprofessional, or perhaps they were just young. Some other factors that may or may not have to do with the service: it was Christmas Eve so they could have been rushed or more short staffed and it was closing time. Other factors: They clearly have a sustainable mindset with their leftovers as they asked if anyone wanted extra food, and either they, or their customers gave some of this to people who were sitting on the street in the cold. Staff did let people know of shortages, interior is pretty cute, in my regard, with the black and white and the nerd glasses theme. So my summation is I wouldn't come back first thing since my cappuccino was clearly wet (more milky) but I acknowledge other factors could have factored into the experience that day with the holidays and it being closing time. To their credit (for some people it would matter) they seem to be sustainably motivated for leftover food, trying to find people who would take it instead of just throwing it out at end of day. read more

I walked in at 6:55, waited at the counter while the staff conversed amongst themselves and when I was about to give my order, closing was announced. I stated that I had been in the store for at least 5 minutes and that you must take my order. No go. I stated I just wanted a cup of coffee, again "no coffee, we are closed." Exited and walked a block down to the open Starbucks and their always friendly staff. I'll never go back to a Gregorys! read more
