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.

Some books have been harder to find as of recent, but I knew Scuppernong would not let me down. I placed my order online, and they sent me an email when it was ready to pick up in store. I was kindly greeted at the front door, and had my book within a minute. I did take an extra few seconds to wander the rest of the store, as it is such a lovely space. The sense of peace and calm the store has to all who enters cannot go unnoticed. I left with my required book in hand, and a smile on my face.

Having it out west, it's nice to see a lot of businesses expanding and coming to the east coast. I don't drink coffee (I know I worked at SBUX for years) it's just never been my thing, but TEA, I'm all in! Their chai is sooooo good. I love how you can customize your drink however you like and they recently released COOKIE DOUGH! My two fave things, chai & cookie dough. This is a dangerous combo. The "bros" (staff, male and female) are always so nice. It's clean and they always play great music. I recommend this to everyone give them a try! They have everything from coffee to flavored water.

It's great if you have a go to beverage or want to try something different each visit. The seasonal recommendations always sound delicious so check out their social media before going here. The only reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is because if I get a medium or large drink then the flavor isn't as strong when I order a small. I always have to ask for extra sweet for it to deliver on the flavor I've chosen. Sometimes they also seem rushed making the drinks so it will not come like I've asked. Had to ask for the caramel drizzle again when I received a drink one time since it was left out. Always check your drinks before leaving.

I love how they work together to ensure your order is accurate. This visit, we purchased some tumblers (when you purchase a tumbler, your beverage is free). I had the maple broke sugar chai with oat milk. It was excellent!! They have some tables for dining so you can stay and sip your latte or cup of joe. Area bakeries provide a variety of baked goods, most of which are gluten-free, even some are dairy-free. I also had the peanut butter fudge, which is literally an amuse-bouche (1-bite). It was delightful, perfected balance of sweet and salty. I also had the pumpkin loaf, which was okay. My husband had the gluten-free dairy-free coffee cake was excellent!!

Proceeds go towards supporting industries of the blind and they offer job opportunities to visually impaired folks who may struggle with finding employment. All of their products are locally sourced as well. We were greeted immediately with a very warm welcome. The place is so much roomier than I anticipated and they have plenty of seating available inside. Outside there's a picnic table if that suits you, but we chose to sit inside. They have quite a few food items and snacks available with some sugar free and keto friendly options. We ordered two cappuccinos and the serving size for a medium coffee was very generous. We sat for quite some time, enjoyed our coffee, and chatted comfortably. There's plenty of room for groups or individuals to gather. I regret that this was our first time frequenting 33 & Elm, but it definitely won't be the last!

Since they're new, there was definitely a lot of excitement and energy, but the music was VERY loud. I could barely hear the employees taking my order or talking to me at the register. It was upbeat and fun, just a little too loud for a drive-thru experience. They were also giving away free T-shirts with a large coffee order, which was a fun touch! I ordered a large Coconut German Chocolate cold brew with cold foam. The flavor was actually pretty good. The coffee itself was flavorful and strong, which I really like. However, the ice had already melted quite a bit, so the coffee wasn't nearly as cold as I would have liked. I also asked for cold foam, but there was hardly any cold foam on the drink, which was a little disappointing. One thing I really love about 7 Brew is the number of sugar-free flavor options. A lot of drive-thru coffee shops don't offer nearly as many, so that's definitely a big plus for me. The large coffee is HUGE. It's roughly comparable to a 20-ounce Starbucks drink, and mine was about $6.35. So if you order a large, you're definitely getting a substantial amount of coffee for your money. Overall, I think the coffee has potential. I'll definitely go back and try a latte once things have calmed down a little and they're more settled into their new location. I'm curious to see how the experience is once the new-opening excitement dies down a bit. Ciao for now.

The coffee was so good, I'd never had that combo before, I'm glad I ordered the large. The cookie was amazing, so soft and delicious. If I wasn't on a mission to get back to the hotel for a work call, I would have hung out there for a little while. I'll be back.

The coffee was good, but the service left something to be desired. This time, the staff was friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. I sometimes get overwhelmed ordering coffee when I'm unfamiliar with a menu, but they took the time to answer my questions and actually recommend something for me, which I really appreciated. I ordered a salted caramel latte with cupcake cold foam, and it was surprisingly not overly sweet--just really good! They have a great variety of syrups and options to customize your coffee. I also didn't realize how much Chandler's has to offer beyond coffee. They have food, mimosas, other beverages, live music, a pool table, outdoor seating, and a cute selection of things for sale, including books and dog leashes. The atmosphere is artsy, relaxed and welcoming, with plenty of seating for hanging out or getting some work done. I also love the little displays featuring local businesses and events. Overall, good coffee, reasonable prices, a great atmosphere, and much-improved customer service. My second experience definitely redeemed my first, and I'll be back!
