Gregorys Coffee to open at Roosevelt Field | Long Island Business News

Growing café chain Gregorys Coffee is expanding with a new location at the Roosevelt Field mall in Garden City. 

The Roosevelt Field store, which opens Friday, April 5, will be the company’s third Long Island location, following others at 1932 Deer Park Ave. in Deer Park and 878 Walt Whitman Road in Melville. 

“At Gregorys Coffee we strive to challenge the status quo and see coffee differently,” Gregory Zamfotis, founder and CEO of Gregorys Coffee, said in a company statement. “We are excited to introduce our third location in Long Island and welcome more ‘Gregulars’ into our family. Long Island exudes the feeling of family and we are so excited to join the community. This location has been a long time coming; we are delighted to officially open the doors.” 

Zamfotis grew up in the food industry. His father George owned a small chain of delicatessens in Manhattan called Zams, where a young Gregory would often lend a hand. 

Zamfotis opened his first Gregorys Coffee location on Manhattan’s Park Avenue South in Dec. 2006 and there are now 37 locations in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Washington D.C. 

The newest Gregorys Coffee is the first mall location for the 17-year-old company. 

“We’re thrilled to work with Simon (Property Group) on this new location at Roosevelt Field Mall, and believe we are the perfect coffee brand for their shoppers and merchants alike,” René Puerta, director of marketing at Gregorys, said in the statement. “With drinks ranging from our refreshers to cold brew concoctions as well as delicious vegan eats, Gregorys is well-positioned to cater to the wide range of customers that shop here.” 

Gregorys Coffee offers a wide variety of hot and cold beverages, including several types of coffee, cappuccino, espresso, lattes, teas, chais, green protein drinks, smoothies, juices and more. The family-owned chain also offers an extensive menu of baked goods, featuring muffins, donuts, cookies and cakes. There are also sandwiches, vegan burritos, oatmeals, parfaits, pudding and more.
