Reference excerpt

Gregorys Coffee is a New York-based coffee roaster and retailer. Aside from a range of coffee and tea choices, Gregorys Coffee also offers fresh pastries, packaged foods, and a plant-based selection prepared from scratch daily. 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, when he was a 24-year-old law student at Brooklyn Law School, 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. Gregorys Coffee has been a family-oriented business for many years, with Gregory's family having various levels of involvement across the business over time. As of 2026, the company currently operates 51 locations. In August 2025, Craveworthy Brands became an investor and managing partner of Gregorys Coffee. The deal, for which financial terms were not disclosed, was intended to support the company’s expansion through franchising beyond its core Northeastern United States market. Founder Gregory Zamfotis remained as president of the brand. Additional investors in the funding round included Harborfield Management, Branded Hospitality, and Kitchen Fund.

Locations The company currently has cafés in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, Illinois, Washington, California, Minnesota, Florida, Tennessee, and Arizona. In September 2016, Gregorys opened a roastery and commissary in Long Island City, Queens, New York. Later that year opened its first location outside of New York, located on the Jersey City waterfront. In the same year, the company signed a 15-year lease at 16 Court Street, Brooklyn, marking their first store in the borough. 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. In 2024, Gregorys entered a partnership with the Simon Property Group, expanding into new states and bringing its store count to 54. Gregorys officially opened its 50th store in November 2024, located at the Woodfield Mall in Schaumberg, IL. In 2025, Gregorys opened its first location in Central New Jersey in the Town of Old Bridge. Gregorys has plans to expand further in New Jersey, with two more stores contracted.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Gregorys Coffee

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Gregorys Coffee claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Gregorys Coffee before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Gregorys Coffee ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Gregorys Coffee

In research: Gregorys Coffee appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Gregorys Coffee in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Gregorys Coffee is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Coffee brands, Coffee stubs, Coffeehouses and cafés in the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Gregorys Coffee outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
