24 Best Cafes in Greensboro

“I think 33 & Elm is a good place to start your day. I live in Winston Salem and wish they were closer but I can still occasionally make the trip. A good and classy place to assist the sight impaired.“

“Hats off to Vida Pour Tea! I visited with my daughter during my last trip to NC and brought some tea home with me. It ran out and I needed another "NC tea hug" so I ordered a variety! There was a shipping problem that was not their fault, but they were quick to see that I was taken care of. My "hug" arrived today. Thank you, VPT staff! I'll be seeing you on my next visit out there!! Now...which one do I try first??? 🤔“

“Absolutely amazing coffeeshop, hidden in a corner of a shopping center. They have treats from Italy, the crepes and baklava are SO good! The espresso is probably the best we've ever had. And the owner and barista were kind and helpful. We absolutely recommend this place, even if it's out of your way. You won't regret it.“

“Although busy, service was both prompt and friendly. The drinks were tasty and the atmosphere/anime decorations were cute. It was an enjoyable experience.“

“10 of 10 recommended phenomenal environment. The best crêpes I have ever introduced my pallet too. We were traveling through, but definitely will be back. I created my own crêpe with strawberries Bananas, peanut butter, Reese‘s cups chocolate/Nutella.“

“This place changed my life. Maybe that's too dramatic for a Google review, but it is true. At a time where sorrow and isolation were getting easier by the day, I happened to read something somewhere about a new coffeeshop opening in downtown Greensboro. A year later, I've spent at least one day as week there, most weeks. I've met people I never would have met. Done things I never would have done. Become something, someone, I never would have become. There's a beautiful artist community, music, visual, and others. Plenty of networking to be done, if you're into that. They do a little for everyone, raves, concerts, open mics, second Sunday flea market, kink events, workshops on gardening and witchcraft, mindful yoga
... I'm sure you'll find something. Or just get a coffee. I like a double shot espresso with honey, or a tea mixed with lemonade. Be kind to the space, engage with the things people work so hard to do there, and it just might give you something back.
Greensboro is not lacking in coffeeshops. I love a great deal of them, and they mostly have excellent coffee and cool vibes.
This is something a bit more than that. Come check it out, find an event you think sounds cool. Grab a drink, they have THC-A and alcohol as well as coffee and tea from the best tea shop in town. I'm so glad to have found them.“

“After a long journey in the hot summer sun. I discovered a charming restaurant in the heart of the office building. Yes, The Pines has a cultured charm, a sublime atmosphere, and a respectable service that makes eating there enjoyable. With my hunger satisfied I return back to the hectic streets of downtown Greensboro. 9.8/10!“

“After spending the night in the shadiest hotel I’ve ever stayed, I was looking for a comfortable spot to just chill with my son for a bit with a nice cup of coffee. Tate Street Coffee House did not disappoint! The vibe is chill, and welcoming, and the coffee is amazing. Admitted I am a little boring with my coffee, just a good old cup of black with cream and sugar, but now I wish they were much closer to St. Louis!“

“Chez Genese has become a family favorite ❤️ I am happy to support this locally owned restaurant on a mission towards making the world a more inclusive place. A truly lovely place to eat, delicious food and ambiance - I highly recommend it!“

“Muy buen servicio y los dueños muy amables“

“The food was delicious, the service was great and very welcoming. There was a power outage while there and the staff continued to check on each table and making the experience as enjoyable as it could be. I would recommend them for sure because the handled the unforseen power outage great.“

“Coming from Miami and the fact I’m Cuban, I have to say their Cafe con Leche was to die for. They gave it to me in a mug which was a special touch. Muffins were outstanding !! Keep up the great job !! I’ll see you tomorrow, definitely recommend this small business !“

“First of all, look at the visual😍😍They look amazing and the bingsoo didn’t disappointed me. It was delicious with perfect crunch of cornflakes. I absolutely loved the Ube milk tea. The Thai tea was okayish, I personally give it 7/10. Overall, great ambience. I enjoyed the kpop videos on the TV & the staffs were nice. They also offer student discount. This is gonna be my favorite spot for a quick boba and the bonus point its even near from the campus.🤌🏻🤌🏻“

“No complaints from me. I got a coffee, when I really don't like coffee, and it was pretty good. The area is nice and calm. The park is really pretty and in a good location. You can get quite a bit at this coffee shop. You can get beer, thc drinks, sweets, coffee, lemonade, matcha, chai, hot chocolate. Overall a good selection of items for everyone. My coffee was only 3.75! Better price than Starbucks!

I even met a cool person hanging around who talked with me a bit. So you can definitely get some friendly people to talk to you.“

“😍😍😍Si vous passez par Da nang lieu incontournable un vrai délice“

“My secret spot for a great leisurely breakfast or brunch. The owners are the absolute sweetest. The food is hot and fresh and always tastes amazing. This is not an express fast in-and-out dining place, this is a place where you have a good, quality breakfast that has been prepared with care and love. Her smoothies are also delicious!“

“The is Excellent and the employee was nice.“

“If youre in greensbro you MUST try this place!! amazing service and amazing food and amazing vibes! definitely coming back !“

“Cafe Espresso at the Grandover Resort is probably the i ly coffee shop open until 11P in Greensboro/Jamestown area. Limited menu for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner and consistently good. Counter service to order, then served to your table i side or out. Good cocktails, too.
Sit outside at the firepit and enjoy the luve music on Thursdays, catch the sunset, or watch the deer prance around as the golfers come off the course.
Tae a table inside, play a little pool or shuffle bowling. Watch a game or just relax on the sofas. Food prices are reasonable. Service is good and atmosphere is casual, very relaxing and fun.“

“My favorite coffee shop in Greensboro. Great coffee and food alike!“

“Oh my me! The food here is on point!💯 Love how they cook the vegetables! (not hard)

We had a big order! Thank you!!“

“I had a lovely experience when I went in to have a quick breakfast and do some work from the cafe.
Recently turning gluten free I knew options would be few. The manager came over and created an egg bowl for me with bacon and avocado. I didn’t mind being charged for a sandwich because she went through the effort of “figuring it out” for me.
Such a nice experience from a young woman who didn’t have to do that and especially when more often than not recent younger employees don’t put forth that kind of effort.
Atmosphere is 4 stars only because Panera circa 2006 was the best atmosphere and it’s gotten a less cozy/ comfortable over the years.“
