This week we will be starting a new series featuring some of our favorite spots to visit in Greensboro. Each feature in the series will highlight a different person’s favorite places here in Greensboro, and an explanation as to why they’ve chosen each spot.
Greensboro has many interesting places to visit from great restaurants to, my personal favorite, coffee shops. Below is a collection of my favorite places (so far) in Greensboro. Going out and exploring these places is a great way to get to know the city better or find your new favorite spot.
My favorites:
-
Green Bean is a coffee shop in downtown Greensboro, on Elm Street. They have the best coffee I’ve ever had. I like to order a lavender and vanilla latte, an interesting combination I know, but it is delicious. The combination was actually recommended to me by one of the baristas and I have since ordered that same drink every visit. Green Bean is one of my favorite places in Greensboro not only because of the great coffee, but because of the relaxing and inviting atmosphere. You are always greeted by a friendly face and receive great service.
-
Crafted (the art of taco) has been my favorite restaurant in Greensboro since the first time I visited. Their food is delicious; I have never met a taco I didn’t like. And the restaurant is a must see; it is beautifully decorated and very interesting.
-
Crafted (the art of street food) is a new restaurant under the same ownership. This restaurant offers a larger range of food and the menu changes frequently, which is great for people who like to try all different foods (like me). Additionally, it is decorated just as wonderfully as the original Crafted.
-
Tate Street Coffee is another excellent coffee shop in Greensboro located right on Tate Street; it is perfect for UNCG students. I like Tate Street Coffee because of the atmosphere; it feels cozy and relaxing. In addition, there is always great art and they often host music events. This is a great study spot as well!
-
Pastabilities is possibly my favorite restaurant in Greensboro (at least for pasta). It is reasonably priced and the food is delicious! The combinations they come up with are all excellent and they provide options for everyone, whether you love meat or you are a vegetarian.
Those are my favorite food/coffee places in Greensboro at the moment. I highly recommend all of them! Getting out and exploring new places in Greensboro can be a great experience for anyone from freshmen who don’t know Greensboro well to seniors who want to try out a new place. So get out there and explore this semester, and find your favorite places to be!
