Visiting from out of town and so glad that I was recommended to drop by!…read more The interior is gorgeous and the way the morning sun just drenches this cafe makes for a peaceful start to the day. Will be coming back next time I'm in NC. Their seasonal lattes they have are superb in creativity. Fan favorite is the fireside latte with that smoked sea salt and caramel cold foam. I also enjoyed the honey nut cheerio drink with the sweet potato for something different.

Even as an avid tea drinker, I would return for the ambiance and spacious feel of the space. The staff had a pleasant aura and the beverages didn't take long to be served.

I will continue to sip and snack at Chandler's until the heat death of the universe. After The…read moreGreen Bean started being lame, we were all worried this iconic spot would be cooked for good, chat. But turns out it just needed to be run by folks who care about what employees need. Service is impeccable as you're met with people way cooler than you at the counter. They don't judge your order, they just make that thing you said in Starbucks words for you with a smile. I'm sure you are the subject of deserving derision later during secret parties I'm sure they all have, but that's neither here nor there. The vibe is chill and some in distant lands echo you might be able to chillmaxx while avoiding any mogging whatsoever. But that last part is up to you. So order your perfectly made coffee and delicious bagel sandwich and sit amongst your community. 9s and 10s only though, no uggos. Love this place forever

The place has ample seating options, a pool table and live music - no doubt the place was packed with not many empty seats.

There was one barista who knocked out drinks like a pro. She was super efficient, taking orders and making drinks without anyone having to wait long. I think this will be my new go-to for matcha. Excited to try some of their coffee on my next visit.

Scuppernong Books is an independent bookstore in Downtown Greensboro. It is located inside a…read morebuilding built in 1898. The building served as a feed-and-seed store, a record store and a used-appliance store. The bookstore opened in 2013, and its extensive renovation preserved the exposed brick walls and the high pressed-tin ceilings. They added hand-carved bookcases. The walls are olive green, and the original windows let in plenty of natural light. The store was named after the scuppernong grape, the North Carolina state fruit. The store's "fox and grape" motif, visible on its signs and literature, is also a nod to Aesop's fables. The bookstore is cozy and welcoming, with areas to lounge and even a seating bar at the front of the store. The bookstore carries new and used books, with a good variety. You will find banned books and many about social justice. The store has stood up to censorship. The genres are clearly marked, and it is easy to browse and shop. They even have staff picks with reviews. I like that North Carolina authors are featured. The store partners with other local businesses. The cafe has coffees, teas, wines and craft beers. They have pastries from Loaf Bakery and Swedebread. The sandwiches are from Jerusalem Market. The specialty teas come from Vida Pour Tea. Service here is welcoming, helpful and low-pressure. They let you browse without following you around so you can take your time and explore. I highly recommend visiting Scuppernogg Books if you are looking for a local business to support or just like visiting old buildings. In the digital age, it is so nice to connect with others and actually browse the shelf to find my next read. I loved the banned books, as I am always curious as to what they don't want me reading.

Not only can books be purchased in store which is my favorite way you're also able to go online and order for pickup or to your door. They have new , used , for children , adults , herbalism , fantasy ... you name it. There's seating near the coffee bar. However there is also seating in the back where the used books are where you can read, but they also host events that are on their website to support other local stores , artist , and authors.

Love, love, love Fig and Olive!…read more This was my first time visiting at the suggestion of one of my friends. I was even happier to see one of my favorite baristas there who was at another coffee shop I frequented. The pasty selection is amazing. There was such a large variety of sweets that it was hard choosing just one. My friend and I split one-they're huge and I enjoyed a seasonal hot latte. It was the perfect balance of coffee and sweet without being overwhelming. The space is very open and vivid and would be perfect for working if you're looking for a nice space to do so. I liked the natural lighting as well.

Growing up in New England, I was very spoiled living in RI and Mass with big Italian communities…read moreand their delicious food! Nowhere nearby have I found authentic Italian baked goods except for a former co-worker, whose Sicilian mother once made us delicious wine biscuits and pignoli cookies. That's what I was hoping to find today - along with biscotti, cannoli, etc. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. I got the pistachio lobster tail and a mixed box of cookies. The lobster tail was basically a crispy croissant filled with pastry cream that had no discernible pistachio flavor. Tasty but definitely more of a French pastry. The cookies were all supposedly different flavors but I couldn't tell them apart. They were a basic shortbread dyed different colors, had gummy, flavorless fillings and tasted old. There was 1 biscotti in the box and I'm sorry to say that my not at all Italian mom has made better biscotti. Definitely very pricey considering the quality. It makes me sad that there is still nowhere to get good Italian pastries here.

I was on a walk this morning and I noticed that I was near Borough Coffee. I had been wanting to…read morecheck out this place for quite sometime now, I just never had the time to do it. But today was the day! As soon as you show up, you know this isn't your typical coffee shop. The outside of the place looks like it could be an Inn in the neighborhood (which who knows maybe it was at one point.) The vibe inside gives off quiet workspace/library, and definitely gives off the lobby of an Inn (think Gilmore Girls.) There was some people scattered around but I didn't take a deep look inside since I was just passing by. I ordered my ice vanilla latte. The first thing I remember realizing was that it wasn't very sweet. Which is not a bad thing, sometimes they can be made really sweet other times they can be not so sweet. This latte was in the middle. I could taste the creaminess from the oat milk too. I would definitely check this place out again and try out some of their other drinks that they offer. I would even like to stay in and work inside and see more of the environment inside.

Borough Coffee is in an absolutely gorgeous building -- previously a B&B. The various 1st floor…read morerooms have cozy seating scattered throughout, and it seems like it would be a fantastic place to work or study. Though most seats were filled when I visited, it was super quiet, like a library. I felt a little uncomfortable having a conversation, afraid of bothering others. I'm not sure if it's always that quiet or not. Street parking is somewhat limited, but there is a church with a parking lot just across the street. That said, I visited on Easter, so the church lot was full, but we were still able to find a spot to parallel park at the end of the street. They serve a decent variety of coffee and other drinks, but have a limited food/pastry menu. I got an iced lavender vanilla latte with oat milk, which is something I order at a lot of places. Sometimes, the lavender tastes so artificial it reminds me of eating soap -- I think certain brands of syrup taste better than others. That was not the case here. I don't know what brand they use, but it must be one of the better ones, because it tasted mild and delicious. Both lavender and vanilla came through. The espresso was smooth and not bitter. The ratios of everything were great as well -- not too much oat milk but not too little -- the perfect latte.

Stopped by Savor the Moment Dessert Bar (after a disappointing brunch elsewhere) and let's just…read moresay...they understood the assignment. We grabbed several cheesecakes to go, and every single one was absolutely delicious--rich, creative flavor combinations, and clearly made with care. The kind of desserts that make you pause mid-bite and say, "okay, now THIS is good." The service was just as sweet--friendly, welcoming, and helpful without missing a beat. If you're in the mood for a treat (or a few), this is definitely the place. We will be back...because one visit was not enough.

The sweet potato pancakes were really good, and the steak and eggs surprised me because the steak portion was huge and cooked really well. The avocado toast was also delicious, and even something simple like the eggs and cheese tasted amazing -- they really know how to make good scrambled eggs there. I also thought it was really cool that they had a little French market section where you can shop for French products while you're there. Most of the mimosas were really good too, and on Sundays they're only $5, which was a nice bonus. The wait time was definitely long -- over an hour and a half -- but honestly, the food and overall experience made it feel worth it in the end!
