This fall, a second location of the Green Bean Coffee House opened quietly in Golden Gate Plaza on Cornwallis at Church Street. Formerly, the stand-alone building was a Starbucks and, before that, a bank. The bank's walk-in safe is still intact, adding provenance to the building. How wonderful that some of our local businesses are expanding. Also, it is nice to see businesses edging into to the east side of town. This location of the Green Bean is about a block away from Vida Pour Tea; hopefully, Greensboro residents will think of the State Street/Cornwallis area as a place to meet friends for tea and coffee. Both spaces are really quite charming! Green Bean North has a different vibe from the downtown store. But then, it is still new enough that, if you start going, you can help create the vibe!
Are you ready for the last weekend before winter break? If you are buying teacher and school staff gifts, this weekend is it. We're sure Green Bean North and Vida Pour Tea could help you find something great! Happy Thursday! At the very least, you'll enjoy good coffee, tea, and art!
Coffee, tea and art - how wonderful! Just my kind of world.
