New York Legacy in a Cup.

The Vassilaros story, like so many Greek-American stories, is an immigrant story – a story of a family that came from an impoverished country with nothing in their pockets and created a vital business.  Their coffee has fueled New York’s movers and shakers, workers, politicians, first responders and businessmen for a century.  It’s given energy to the workers that erected the George Washington Bridge, the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and every New York landmark built over the last hundred years.  It’s given Wall Street its morning boost through capitalism’s greatest growth periods.  And it’s pumped up American GIs through global deployments and wars. This story is still being written everyday by New Yorkers who love their coffee.  Vassilaros & Sons make the best cup of New York coffee, one that has fueled the history of this great city.

The classic cup of New York City coffee is best known for the iconic Anthora blue-and-white paper cup whose design pays homage to the people who ran coffee carts and diners in the old New York City tradition.  Sipping Vassilaros coffee from an Anthora paper cup says, “There’s no other place like this.”
