I’m always on the hunt for nice and spacious coffee spots to work from it, this place is so far the nicest around downtown. Nice chill vibe, good wifi and great deco. A couple sandwiches on the menu wouldn’t hurt. I tried a bagel with pesto cream cheese and that was so spot on!

Visited Greensboro last month and just realized we'd forgotten to review The Green Bean. Enjoyed our specialty latte so much we returned a second day to try another flavor. Wide variety of interesting lattes, including "sugar addicts" sweet lattes and seasonal specials -- wish we'd had more time in Greensboro to try them all.

Used to be good coffee and decent price but it got more expensive and the quality didn’t improve, quite the opposite… In the past we could have coffee in a mug, now they only offer coffee in carton to-go cups which just ruins the coffee taste. Last time we tried to go there, we had a 15 min line (not long, just slow) to find out their coffee machine was broken so they couldn’t offer any coffee. It would have been good to know before the wait!

Fabulous coffee choices with some fresh breakfast pastry options. Personable and kind service. Wonderful environment to collaborate with study groups or study independently.

Some time ago the store was closed, I thought to myself that the long stand coffee shop has shut down, I was upset about it. Then I figured that they were going through a renovation, some stayed the same but also there are something new. The window seats are updated to the cane and natural style, I like the new decorations. Ordered matcha latte trying to avoid caffeine in the late afternoon, it's a bit sweet but it's tasty, it would be nice if the sweetness can be changed. The baristas are very friendly and helpful, I would recommend one to go there and enjoy sometime in their new decor.

Love the coffee here. I buy the Van Gough decaf coffee, great selection overall and delicious coffeeDec 2023. This placed changed ownership. It’s terrible now. Hardly anyone there, used to be a vibrant cozy place with great coffee. Won’t be back again.

Recently remodeled. Looks nice. Hot cocoa was good, but over $3 seems a bit high for this town.

The Green Bean was our favorite coffee shop in Greensboro. After its renovation, we found it went from being a coffee pleasure to just another mediocre experience.

Surprising little hole in the wall! Tons of seating, lots of space, and an extensive, festive menu. What else can you ask for? Free WiFi and lots of meetings and working happening in here. Some baked treats but no real food. Great stop! We ordered: gingerbread iced latte, sugar cookie frappe, both quite sweet -- $13

Glad that Green Bean is back open! The inside has never looked better. New finishes and updated furniture really make the place a showcase now. The back patio has really been updated as well as now there is a pool table by the back door. It looks like they are using a new two group head espresso machine that's not the iconic Strada of years ago. They only have paper cups now so the whole 'for here' experience with proper glassware is a sad step backwards. Love the changes and look forward to supporting the new owners and hopefully future glassware and really dialed in baristas. Great coffee and great customer service!
