The Green Bean is a family friendly coffee house at 341 South Elm Street. Some consider The Green Bean the social center of downtown Greensboro. In this conveniently located coffee shop, you can hold small meetings, access Wi-Fi, enjoy live music, take in the ever-changing art exhibits, play billiards and board games, or simply enjoy a cup of fair-trade coffee. On Saturday, they are open from 8:00 am- 11:00 pm. Today is somewhat quiet; however, last night, they had a couple of fabulous live bands. Currently, in their gallery, they are showing Matthew Mica's photography and paintings by Lisa Woods.
Don't ever stay home alone or bored. Grab a friend and head down to the Green Bean. Sunday brunch seems to be getting a lot of traffic. We just might head on over in the morning! Regarding photography, we love the reflective round mirrors against the blue wall. We shot this picture from the back room near the exit to the patio seating area.
Seems to me like this is more than just a coffee place! It looks very inviting.
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Hope you're enjoying the weekend. Come back tomorrow for more of Norwich!

I've patroned hundreds of coffeeshops from New York to LA and the best, by far, is located right in my hometown of Greensboro. The Green Bean is amazing. No pretension. Inviting space. Terrific coffee. Great art. Cool (but always tasteful) music. And the backyard patio is one of the most serene places I can think of. Every time I visit home, I make at least one pilgrimage. One of my favorite places on the planet.
As an aside, I'd like to say please keep up the terrific work with this blog. I check back every day to 'return home' for a minute or two. Best wishes.
