not sure if it was because i was hungry but that burrito really cured my morning "sickness". so did the coffee. i ordered the daybreak burrito which comes with scrambled egg, spicy sausage, cholula hot sauce, queso blanco, and cilantro. very nice texture and a great combo with everything between. the egg and the queso helped balance the spice from the sausage and hot sauce. i added more hot sauce that you can grab from the counter at pick up just because and it HITS. this was my first time here about a month ago (end of january), and i was asking for recommendation for coffee. the cashier sounded unconfident but she suggested the white chocolate coffee/mocha?? i forgot. i just needed coffee and it did its job. sweetness was perfect and ice ratio too. didn't ask to alternate anything, although next time i'll ask for almond or soy milk because dairy + more dairy didn't help with the bubble guts. plenty of seating and very nice decor. it was almost vintage/modern ish. felt nostalgic in a way. will be coming back my next UVA visit.

This is not a review on the coffee. Not a friendly place. Popped in to get a little bit of work done before my flight. Got a sparkler and their system was down and so I couldn't get a receipt of any kind, paper, digital, nada. They have like 1 outlet in the entire place, which is near the restrooms, I asked one of the staff members if I could move a table and chair over to it and they said it was fine. Later another worker told me I had to move because I was blocking storage, I mentioned to her another worker said I could work here and she seemed to get an attitude when I said that. It just seemed like from start to finish it was something during this visit I think this is my 2nd or 3rd 1 star review in my life. Definitely do not recommend for getting any type of work done here.

If you are really in need of caffeine, or just a place to sit, you can go here. If you'd like a properly crafted latte from someone who knows how to do it, you will not find that here.

I enjoyed my visit to greenberry's! I went on a Wednesday morning for a business meeting. It wasn't super packed inside, so we easily got a table. The place has a clean seething feel to it. There was a little line to order though. I got a cinnamon vanilla latte, scone, and breakfast burrito. The small scone was so tiny! I'm taking, one and a half bites max. So that was a bummer. The breakfast burrito was pretty good and really filling. But the star of the show for me was the cinnamon vanilla latte. Surprisingly I wasn't expecting much because it's a basic flavor mix but they made it just right! You can tell the coffee is quality, and the balance of milk, cinnamon and vanilla was perfect.

Greenberry's at The Center must have problems with staffing as occasionally they have signs announcing closed due to staff issues. That's not all bad as some of the staff is so unpleasant that they make you feel as if you are bothering them by ordering. As of today I'm no longer a customer. I bought a blueberry muffin and noticed it is at least 30% smaller than the one I bought last week. Price, however, did not go down. Nearly $5.00 for a small muffin. Surly service coupled with high prices.

I visit the Barracks Road Greenberry's at least five times weekly for an expensive $8 latte. I wanted to sit and sip and read on a Wednesday afternoon, but the two guys working had their favorite music SO loud (and singing loudly) that I had to leave after 5 minutes. Yes, I could have said something, but sometimes you just don't want the bother. It was so unpleasant that I am not going back. There's a lot of competition for expensive lattes, so the experience should always be top-notch.

Vibes were immaculate. Place was really nice. Lemon poppyseed muffin was good. Service was friendly. The only downside was the matcha was not good. I would not come back for the matcha. They had lots of baked goods that looked delicious. Not a whole lot of parking on a Sunday but you can likely find somewhere to park.

When you take that first sip and everything pauses just for a moment. The work call, the car horns, everything you have to get done on your checklist stops. That's the feeling I get every time I get my grande cappuccino with oat milk from Greenberry. I went here every day for the week I was in the area for a work conference and wish I could bring the business back home. I absolutely love the vibe, service, and the food is good, too! They also graciously offer discounts for military.

There are so many great coffee options here. They have an extensive food menu as well as non coffee options like spritzers and smoothies. The ambiance is nice, the shop is clean and tidy. My order was ready fairly quickly too. Will definitely go again to try more things.

Unbelievably slow service with some the snootiest baristas ive ever encountered. Theres plenty of options around here for good coffee so no, dont go here. The ambience is fine, but who cares?
I just came in for a bite on a Sunday afternoon & this place was packed. Definitely not friendly for large groups, which I was with & most people left for Panera instead, but I wanted to try something more local. I will say I didn't get a drink, which is my mistake and only tried the Daybreak burrito, which was alright at best. Relatively the same price as a chipotle burrito which quite frankly would be tastier & a better value. It lacked flavor & was very dry, better with hot sauce on it but still not good. From what I've heard, I'd stick to their beverages.

I ordered a small latte and asked for almond milk. I do understand that non dairy milk has an upcharge. What I did not expect was an upcharge of $1.35. I think that is ridiculous. I am a vegan and know that non dairy costs more to source but over 1.00 upcharge seems like price gouging. The latte itself had a decent amount of cinnamon but was not filled up. So I had an over $7.00 latte with not the full amount in the cup. I will definitely never go back and spread the word to my vegan and non dairy drinking friends to avoid this place.

Coffee and food is still good, but HATE the new look and atmosphere. Not one for the all white sterile look. Some might like it, but to me it's not the warm and welcoming Greenberry's anymore.

3.5 stars - Excellent drip coffee and matcha latte was fragrant and delicious! Avocado toast was tasty (esp the tomatoes!) but portion was extremely small for the price. Overall has a nice ambience and good natural light. Be warned however that there is only one outlet and it is off in the corner of the shop so it is difficult to study/do work. There was free wifi but had to ask for the passcode.
