Starting today, you can sip your favorite coffee with plant-based milk at no extra cost at Gregory’s Coffee! Gone are the days of paying more to swap out cow’s milk for a vegan option. This policy shift is exciting news for vegans and dairy-free drinkers and a significant step for animals, sustainability, and accessibility in the coffee world. Gregory’s announcement comes on the heels of Starbucks’ recent decision to drop charges for vegan milk, and it’s safe to say the momentum is building for a brighter, kinder coffee culture.
PETA gave Gregory’s Coffee an A in its coffee chain ranking for the plentiful vegan options, including two vegan breakfast sandwiches, a Vegan Burrito, Spicy Avo toast, PBJ Overnight Oats, PB Cookie, and Coco-Oats. Now, we’re confident they deserve an A+ in our book.
Being vegan is becoming more accessible and affordable, thanks partly to PETA’s longstanding campaign advocating against vegan milk upcharges. Charging extra for sustainable, animal-friendly options puts an unnecessary barrier between customers and compassionate choices. With Gregory’s joining the trend, the tide is finally turning for cows, humans, and the planet we share.
Dairy farming is notorious for cow suffering and its high environmental impact, requiring vast amounts of water, land, and resources while emitting large quantities of greenhouse gases. Vegan milks—from creamy oat to versatile almond to rich coconut—offer a more sustainable, ethical choice, and customers are demanding access without the added fee.
This change is about more than cost—it’s about changing habits and making vegan choices mainstream. With Gregory’s and Starbucks leading the charge, we may see the beginning of a coffee industry shift where all customers, regardless of dietary preference, can make kinder choices more easily. Gregory’s Coffee has shown that accessibility to ethical choices matters, and removing the cost barrier helps more people make that choice.
So, next time you stop by for a morning coffee or afternoon pick-me-up, make it vegan! With this charge gone, you’re not just treating yourself—you’re supporting a future where compassion is standard, one cup at a time.
