Spring Garden Bakery & Coffeehouse has been a Greensboro institution since the 1980s. It is the oldest still-open bakery in Greensboro. The above photo features Alex, on the left, and Trent, on the right. They were working behind the counter on the day we went in for a coffee and granola bar. Those granola bars are filling, packed with nutrition and have been a staple of ours for 25 years. Also, it is one place you can be sure to get a fresh cup of coffee even at those non-peak times of day.
However, even better than the coffee and baked goods is the baristas. Alex and Trent love working at the bakery and are so knowledgeable. When we were there, Trent briefed us on the difference between macchiato, Cuban coffee, flat whites, cappuccino, and lattes. Usually we're black coffee drinkers, but sometimes, when in the presence of experts, we work on expanding our palate. Spring Garden Bakery, located on (you guessed it) Spring Garden Street is just the place to dry something different. The bakery is located at the east end of a the building that used to house Red Wing Shoes & Repair and Holliday Hardware.*
Happy Monday, stop by and meet Alex and Trent, if you get a chance- especially if you like to talk coffee.

Who can resist baked goods?
