    Iced maple latte created by Leo
    Paislee W.

    I recently stopped by Awoo Coffee in downtown Greensboro on Thursday morning and had a great experience. This cozy spot has a fun, welcoming vibe with calming music playing in the background. It's a wonderful addition to the growing coffee scene in the heart of the city. Whether you're catching up with friends or enjoying a quiet moment solo, it's an easy place to settle in (and the Wi-Fi password is readily available, which is always appreciated). The highlight of my visit was the small Maple Latte that Leo made -- it was absolutely delicious and perfectly balanced. Leo's friendly service and welcoming attitude really elevated the experience and made me want to come back. The only downside were parking, evening hours, and events. Like many spots downtown, finding a convenient space nearby can be a bit challenging, it's worth keeping in mind if you're planning a visit. All in all, Awoo is a great local coffee destination with flavorful drinks and a fun atmosphere. Four stars from me -- and as I say in many of my reviews, I'll likely be back.

    Server messed up our order but it was still good! Hot vanilla mocha mint tea latte is good, iced is good too! Ran out of chocolate croissants We tried regular and ham and cheese. We would come back for coffee only! Still very impressed with the coffee/tea item.

    Wonderful place! Dog friendly and amazing coffee! We had a great time,Can't wait to go back!

    Great opportunity to stop in and grab a drink from Awoo last week on the way to a meeting next door. They gave reasonable prices and give great customer service. My favorite thought, has to be the seating in front of the window, where you can sip and people watch while relaxing. I was able to enjoy my drink and spot my coworker pass by on the way to the meeting. Very calm and inviting otherwise.

    Horchata matcha

    I stopped into this cafe to find very little indoor seating. They had a horchata matcha special on, and despite some similarity in spelling, these are very different beverages. The result was that the horchata largely won out. Their take on it was well spiced. It was a lot for one beverage and I didn't feel compelled to sample the food, but as a quick downtown stop on a cold day, it worked.

    Banana bread and iced coffee
    Zay M.

    I stopped by here around 2:30pm on a Saturday while walking around downtown. I got a banana bread and iced coffee with almond milk and mocha syrup. I also got my banana bread warmed up. This was a little under $10. I received my items a few minutes after ordering. The banana bread was thick, had sufficient moisture, and was tasty. However, it wasn't fully warmed as part of it was still cool. I enjoyed the coffee for the most part. For me, I tasted more of the coffee than the flavor and I prefer the opposite. I sat at the table by the entrance. I needed to charge my phone and have a place to chill while my car was having maintenance work done nearby. They have a variety of chair types and options (layout) for different group sizes. Dogs are allowed inside. Staff were friendly.

    I finally got around to trying Awoo! I have to say, my expectations were exceeded. It's cozy inside with plenty of seating. It's easy to make yourself comfortable and enjoy a good book. It's pet friendly--of course! For me, the rose flavored coffee was outstanding. It was quite tasty, and it's something I'd order again. They have a wide range of flavors available, so you're bound to find something classic too! Their service was great. Looking forward to coming back with the pup!

    Lots of seating

    I'll readily admit, I am not the best person to rate coffee shops based on their coffee. My coffee journey is still pretty new, and I'm very much a novice. Most of the time, what I am handed has enough other stuff in it, that the coffee flavor is there but balance by other creamy things. Awoo does just as good a job of that as any other place around, and also provides a comfortable environment for me to chill or work in, and that's what I usually need when spending time in a coffee shop. In that regard, you have a lot of choice. The seating and surface options are extremely varied. You can find a spot for a quick nap, a place with a comfy chair and a table for working, or some easy chairs for conversation with a friend or more. It's very eclectic in there, and that has kind of become the vibe of downtown Greensboro in general, so it fits. Anytime someone opens the door, you get the howl of a dog or wolf... going AWOOOOOOO which I think is a funny touch. Very fitting for what they're going for here. I like this place.

    What a cute and lovely cafe!! I have come here a few times to grab a matcha, chat with the lovely staff, and chill on the couches. The matcha is always yummy, with fun seasonal flavors. I've had the ube, cherry, coconut mango, etc. and it's always a fun and new experience. But mostly, I come back because the staff is super kind, and the couches and vibes are very relaxing and lively.

    Second coffee and second "office" of the day, I was sitting in the back area of Awoo from for about three hours on this workday. I greatly enjoyed the coffee and the ambiance of this tiny coffee shop. I love the "Awoo" that goes off every time someone opens the door. And I definitely enjoyed my latte this morning. The wifi worked well and after I was able to move to the table close to the power outlet, it was all perfect. I would not change a thing here.

    I started going to Awoo about a year ago and am honestly mad I didn't start going sooner. The iced hazelnut latte is fantastic and the coffee shop itself is super cute and always clean any time I've visited. Service is quick and friendly and usually always has a good playlist going. I love sitting in the little window seat if it's available Excited to continue to support them, even though I need to branch out and try other menu items but that iced hazelnut latte has me in a chokehold.

    Bonfire Latte

    I highly recommend this coffee shop! Not only is the coffee absolutely delicious, the service was spot on and it has such a cozy vibe. Not to mention, they are dog friendly which makes it that much better! If you're ever in Greensboro, you have to give it a try! You won't regret it :)

    Dirty apple spice chai
    Ashley B.

    What a cute little spot! We were walking around looking for some good coffee downtown and came across this coffee shop. It's in a great central location, and the shop is very cute with lots of comfy furniture. Also larger than it looks from the outside. The service was quick and efficient. I got a dirty apple spice chai, which was very good. My husband got regular coffee, which he enjoyed and said hit the spot. The fall specials sound intriguing, so if I come here again would love to try the Pumpkin Spice Latte. Overall, a good little spot to discover on a lazy morning.

    Coffee and food sucked; inexcusable for the price. Weird vibe from the place, just another designer spot to waste your money.

    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.

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.

I ordered the Pistachio Cream one and no lie, it was 6 inches across and 2.5-3 inches tall. They asked if I wanted it heated (umm yes) and it was AHMAZING.i also ordered the fig and honey latte while my husband ordered the Turkish coffee. So good and unique!

I remember the vibes were pretty welcoming. I have gone once since then but during the day and the vibes were pretty chill and low-key but nothing too crazy. Just a typical experience but also a really good college outing memory. The matcha I had from there wasn't particularly my favorite but they used to keep their espresso machine up at night during the performance, I'm not completely sure if I remember correctly if they sold liquor or alcohol but the drink that I did have from there the first time I went was pretty good. The ambiance is pretty normal for greensboro, I feel like almost every establishment you walk in, there will be cracked floors but I just remember the staff was pretty awesome and as far as pastries, they had a pretty good variety and gluten free options and other food sensitivity options. I believe a few years ago, I recall an episode of "Catfish" where Nev and Max also visited this place so that was pretty interesting to experience that but honestly a pretty decent place.
