My wife found this family owned Banh Mi place and brought me over when we were in Greensboro…read more Located in a strip mall it is unassuming but the food was exceptional. I ordered a regular Bahn Mi and an iced Vietnamese coffee. The sandwich is around 12 inches and packed with what should be in a Banh Mi and nothing else, just the way it should. The bread was crusty and the meats were great flavored with a bit of heat from the toppings but not too much. The sweetness of the coffee balanced it out nicely. Good price and a great lunch.

Delicious sandwiches. It's as simple as that…read more I was hungry when I visited, so I ordered two. My first selection was the Saigon Classic, essentially the banh mi as it was intended. And then I also chose the New Orleans, which holds all the standard veggies and the pátê but adds some srirachi-flavored pork to the mix. Prices were reasonable and so too was the prep time. Both sandwiches were flavorful and perfect choices for lunch on a reasonably hot day. There were around nine or so tables inside the restaurant, and a few of them were dirty, though staff did get them cleaned up by the time I left. And apparently the air conditioning was on the fritz, so the dining environment wasn't especially comfortable, though it was tolerable. Were it not for those issues, I'd probably go with a full five stars here. I'll definitely be back. And I wish we could get a proper banh mi like these over in Winston (where no one even seems to know what pátê is, much less that it belongs on these sandwiches), because I'd be a frequent customer.

That said, Lou's has the best selection of baked goods in downtown Mebane, hands down and their offerings rotate pretty regularly so you can change it up day to day. They recently upped their coffee game to a local roaster and that was a welcome sight, though no espresso drinks... yet. Conveniently located at the intersection of Clay and Fourth, right next to the farmer's market lot, and with ample parking, as well as a bike rack, pocket park to enjoy your baked goods and coffee. My only gripe... and it's a minor one is the density of their croissants... IMO, they are a bit dense, slightly too "doughy", but very, very flavorful. I just think they could stand to a little lighter and flakier. I love their cream pies and just wish for some fresh strawberries (when in season) to go with them. I've not had a bad baked good from here and that's saying something. Consistency is spot on! Don't hesitate to stop in and treat your sweet tooth.

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. They have enough of the traditional and classic options to select from and enjoy. I was a fan of their elotitos and conchas. The bolios look delicious for that favorite dish or torta. 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.

(4.5 stars) The new…read moreGreensboro outpost of a Ramseur bakery, Rocca's boasts an impressive selection of Italian and French pastries, friendly staff, and prices that aren't as high as you would expect. I stopped by after they had been open for about two weeks and was impressed by the sheer number of offerings: breads, cookies, cupcakes, pastries, cheesecakes, quiches, coffee, tea, and more. The employee on duty was patient and helpfully explained a few baked goods I hadn't encountered before (Kouign-amann will have to happen during a future visit). I ultimately settled on a peanut butter-banana coffee cake and a chocolate croissant. The croissant was buttery but dense rather than light and flaky. That density extended to the coffee cake as well, where it was more welcome. The peanut butter-banana combo made for a winning pair, and the topping was tasty as well. Given the pricing, service, availability (open every day except Sunday), and more, Rocca's is a must for anyone in Greensboro with a sweet tooth.

I dined alone a little after 4 PM and was seated right away before the dinner rush, although there…read morewere already about 12 to 15 people inside. By the time I left around 6, there were people standing and waiting to be seated. The patio was open with one couple enjoying the nice weather and relative quiet of outdoors. Embur recently relocated to Smyres Place in Greensboro and the new space feels much smaller than I expected. The design reminded me of what I imagine a modern restaurant in Peru might look like. Industrial with solid wood floors, warm finishes, and a large wine display. There are around 25 to 26 tables, mostly two tops and four tops. The largest table seats six, but they will push tables together for larger groups. While I was there, a group of more than 20 came in celebrating something and they were seated quickly without disrupting the rest of the room. The small patio has outdoor seating with about 8 tables and a they have bar area with about nine comfortable seats. The menu took me a minute to understand but I ended up liking the setup. You choose your entrée, which comes with set ingredients, and then choose your protein. Each protein has a different price, so you can control the cost of your meal somewhat. Most menu items can also be made gluten free according to the menu, and vegetarian options seem easy to do. For my appetizer, I ordered the flatbread. Perfection. Rosemary, olive oil, sea salt. Crispy outside, soft inside, and so flavorful I almost ate the whole thing before my meal was served. The server came with water right away and remain attentive but not intrusive the whole time. For my entree, I ordered the Arroz Chaufa with salmon. Arroz Chaufa literally means fried rice. At first the dish seemed a bit salty to me, but once I added the green sauce that comes with it (served on the side), everything balanced out. The green sauce has very mild heat, so if you are not a fan of spicy food, that is the one I would recommend. There is a list of sauces so I assume you can customize your entree. According to my server, the other sauces bring more heat. The salmon was excellent, well seasoned but not too much, and moist. The portion was ample. I was very hungry but I had leftovers to bring home. Service was exactly what I want when dining alone. Attentive without being intrusive. I watched Netflix while I ate and enjoyed my meal without feeling rushed or bothered. The noise level is average for a busy small restaurant. Comfortable enough to relax, but if you want to talk to someone in your group a couple of seats away, you will need your outside voice. This place feels upscale without being fussy, so expected to pay more than average, but I thought it was good value for the quality and portions. I loved this restaurant and will absolutely go back. Must order: Rosemary flatbread appetizer. Tip: Ask about sauce heat before ordering. If you do not like spicy food, start with the green sauce.

No one checked on us our entire visit. I really enjoyed previous visits to Embur. The food was good as usual.

Thai Square is one of my go-to date spots for Thai food in Greensboro. The restaurant is always…read moreclean, and the décor is modern, welcoming, and well-kept, making it a great place for a casual lunch or date night. It is tucked in a shopping center with a Kohl's and Sprouts.  Every time my partner and I go we feel like we find something new to admire in the décor on this visit we liked the assortment of plates on the wall. On my most recent visit, my partner and I stopped by for a daytime date and started by splitting the fresh shrimp rolls. They were light, fresh, and tasty, a perfect appetizer on a hot summer day.  I ordered the papaya salad, which was refreshing with a nice kick. It was loaded with shrimp, tomatoes, and plenty of peanuts, which added the perfect crunch. I appreciate that they don't shy away from using peanuts in their dishes where they belong, it really enhances the flavor. My partner tried a chicken dish that was plentiful and had enough for leftovers.  Service can be hit or miss getting attention to the wait staff, but the food is consistently delicious. If you can make it for lunch, I highly recommend the lunch specials. Other visits I get the Thai tea and recommend if you haven't tried it before. Between the consistently good food, friendly service, and clean atmosphere, Thai Square is a place I'll keep coming back to.

(4.5 stars) I had time to kill before a movie and wanted a…read morelighter lunch. A som tam (papaya salad) fit the bill, and Thai Square had it. While I would have been satisfied if it merely fulfilled a craving, Thai Square more than exceeded expectations. From an aesthetic standpoint, this is one of the nicer Thai restaurants in the area. It's bright and clean with a wall full of ornamental plates. Though it was busy at the time of my lunchtime visit, it seemed well-run. Staff were polite and attentive, and the kitchen had no trouble keeping up with demand. The som tam with shrimp was among the best versions of this dish that I've had. From the attractive plating to the freshness to the flavors (good amount of lime, not too heavy on the fish sauce), it was satisfying across the board. It wasn't at all spicy, which would ordinarily be a red flag (white people Thai food, five-yard penalty), but in fairness, it wasn't requested as such. Provided that Thai Square can bring the heat if you ask for it, the execution here is top-notch. I don't know if the rest of Thai Square's menu compares favorably to the dish that I had, but I hope to eventually find out. For Thai fans in Greensboro, this place is definitely worth a visit.
