    Went to their food truck recently - regular cup of coffee was great! Much better than Starbucks I occasionally get

    I don't really drink coffee too often but I really loved this coffee shop! It definitely has some…read morecharacter and seems like a cozy place to come and grab a quick drink. Really liked the aesthetic and all of the art pieces hung up. All of the drinks are named after famous celebrities. I got the Leo DiCaprio with less sweetener, but wish I noticed the seasonal drinks before I ordered because they all sounded really good. The barista was pretty nice as well.

    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.

The inside has tables to have personal meetings or catch up on your studies. The staff were friendly and my iced Americano was the best I've had in a while. They make it exactly how I like it. Can't wait to visit again.

    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.

You'd never know something like this sits out off Church St. It's a hidden gem for unique gifts, native to our area. The epitome of supporting local.

Feel like wandering around a charming country style shop? Go for it. Looking for a relaxed happy hour with a beer or a glass of wine? Absolutely. Or you can do all three, which is usually what ends up happening when we go. It's down the street from us, and my wife and I love coming here to unwind. She wanders the shop while I settle in with a cold beer or a hot or iced coffee on their comfortable patio. They always have new merchandise, consistently good snacks and pastries, and a back room stocked with beer and wine. The staff is warm and welcoming, and you always run into other friendly locals doing the exact same thing you are. It's a quaint spot, but they make the most of the whole place and deliver a really fun and relaxing outing every single time.

    Everything about our visit to Moshi Moshi was a 10/10. The atmosphere was fire -- super chill,…read morecozy, and just an all-around good vibe. Such a great spot to hang out, relax, and enjoy your drink. My husband and son both said their boba was excellent. Eli had the Oreo Twister and loved it, and bae had peach with mango popping boba, which he really enjoyed. We also tried the taiyaki (fish-shaped fried pastry) and those were so good -- crispy outside, soft inside, and full of flavor. And the service? INCREDIBLE. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. Amazing drinks, great food, great vibe, and top-tier service. We'll definitely be back for more!

While 80 isn't all that hot for the South, it's gonna be hotter inside, especially with all the equipment giving off heat. And it was. Turn the AC on! Along with letting in the heat and road dust from the busy street only a few feet away, warmer weather also brings bugs. A place with lots of sweet stuff is gonna attract flies, bees, and wasps. And no AC is a shitty way to treat your employees. The next thing I noticed walking in was the excessively loud music. I had to raise my voice just to place my order! Again, not great for your employees to be assaulted by noise while trying to work and help customers. There were a few customers ahead of me but I still think 15 minutes is too long for a drink with 3 ingredients. There were 3 people working there. It was also not competitive in price with other places in Greensboro. There are a lot of other boba places to choose from. I will pick another one next time.
