Gregorys Coffee Will Make Summit Debut On Tuesday

SUMMIT, NJ — The long-awaited Gregorys Coffee will finally open on Tuesday, May 10, in Downtown Summit, according to a recent announcement.

Gregorys is a New York-based coffee shop that will now open a Summit location at 342 Springfield Avenue. This will be the chain's third location in New Jersey, with its two other spots in Jersey City.

Besides New Jersey, Gregorys also has a total of 36 locations throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn and Washington D.C.

Founder Gregory Zamfotis recently commented on opening the new location in Summit.

"I grew up in Central NJ, so opening a Gregorys Coffee in Summit is extra special to me," Zamfotis said.

"We pulled out all the stops when designing this light-filled, open concept cafe and cannot wait to welcome Gregulars familiar and new inside. We have already made so many amazing connections with the local community and are blown away with the response so far. From the sounds of it, Gregorys will be the new go-to for coffee and freshly-baked and good-for-you food in the area."

According to its website, the Gregorys Coffee mission is to "establish and cultivate a community of people who 'See Coffee Differently.'"

Other than coffee, Gregorys is known for its spacious cafes with outlets at every seat and fast Wifi. They also serve freshly-baked foods with extensive plant-based options.

The pastries and packaged foods are curated by Gregorys in-house registered dietitian and prepared from scratch daily, according to its website.

In addition, for every bag of coffee sold at Gregorys, the company donates a pair of eyeglasses to a person in need in a developing country. In April of 2021, members of the company traveled to a farm in Guatemala that Gregorys sources from, and they were able to provide glasses to over 500 people.

Gregorys was first founded in 2006 in Manhattan with a strong focus on "quality, innovative products, and world class service."

The menu features an extensive selection of both hot and cold coffees, as well as smoothies and juices. Check out the full menu here.

Hours for the Summit location are Monday to Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
