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.

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 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.

I had no idea about their mission, and I had no idea about the experience I was about to have. The kindness and the skill that the employees here brought to their jobs is worth both notice and appreciation. The quality of the coffee is great, and the atmosphere is like a family reunion. It truly is a community space. On my next trip out to Greensboro, this is where I'll be getting my coffee.

Walking in from outside almost had a calming effect. Kudos to whoever was in charge of the ambiance. I kept it simple and got an iced Oatmilk latte with honey and vanilla. A little sweeter than I normally do but still great flavor. It's nice and light too. Some Oatmilk lattes can be in the heavy side, this wasn't. The staff was awesome. Someone opened the door for us. Multiple people greeted us. And Davis did a great job getting our order. I'll definitely be back soon.

Been to this place a few times and had a pretty decent experience. This was years ago but I…read moreremember when they used to have singers come out and do little performance once a week and my friends would invite me out to watch their friends perform. 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.

It's usually quiet enough to focus, though on a recent visit, somebody broke out the giant wooden connect four... The vibe is usually very relaxed and the owl motif proclaiming that you should "change the plan, but never the goal" really appealed to me. I usually get matcha lattes, but as I recall, their matcha comes pre-sweetened. Staff is always friendly and they recently put up some Christmas decor that helps hit that warm and cozy feel. In front they have lots of coffee and related items to buy and take home. And the location is great for access by walking to other shops and restaurants. I only wish they had longer hours, but maybe that's my own fault for working so late.

Hailing from the Charlotte area, this family-owned business brings a piece of their Mexican-style pan dulce to Greensboro. I was impressed by their space and offerings.

Their corn muffins are also excellent. They have great service and are willing to answer any questions. Since they just opened, it's currently cash only. No big deal as I still carry some around for places like this. Worth a stop, and I can't wait to keep trying the rest of their pan dulce.
