Gregorys Coffee coming to Vermont just north of K Street

By Prince Of Petworth


1100 Vermont Ave, NW

Ken reports:

“There has been some work going on in 1100 Vermont for sometime but wasn’t sure what it was. Well, today I walked by and they were putting up signs. It’s a Gregorys Coffee chain from NYC. I think this is their first foray into DC.”

If it is the NYC Gregorys their website says:

“At Gregorys, we believe that respect for our coffee and respect for our customers go hand in hand. So we take freshly roasted beans grown by skilled, dedicated farmers all over the world and prepare them for you in a way that will fit your needs without sacrificing the quality of the coffee. Grab one of delicious blends and run. Watch us pull you a shot of our one-of-a-kind espresso, with or without some expertly steamed and poured milk. Sit down with one of our single origin coffees and appreciate how its complex flavor changes as it cools. Whatever pace you’re going at, our friendly and skilled baristas will make sure that both your coffee and your experience are absolutely wonderful.”

Blue Bottle Coffee announces the opening of a new cafe in Georgetown, located off M Street and adjacent to the C&O Canal. As the first Blue Bottle cafe to arrive in Washington, D.C., the new Georgetown location is a warm embrace to the burgeoning specialty coffee scene in the community.

As for this most recent location coming to 800 17th Street, NW – it’s interesting to note that La Colombe recently opened around the corner in late February.
