Brewed & Bottled
4113 Lawndale Dr, Greensboro, NC
Crema's Take
“This Greensboro spot punches above its weight with genuinely creative seasonal offerings and a rotating selection that rivals a craft beverage bar, alongside consistently solid espresso-focused drinks when you want the classics done right. The vibe welcomes both the laptop crowd and folks lingering over slow sits, with staff who seem genuinely happy to see you walk through the door, though consistency can be a little uneven depending on who's behind the bar. If you catch Jenna on shift or find their Watermelon Cucumber Mint refresher on the menu, you're in for something special—this is the kind of neighborhood spot that rewards regulars with knowledge of when the best baristas are working.”

Staff was friendly but the matcha and coffee we ordered was absolutely horrible. The matcha was brown. And the latte had coffee grinds in it. Very bitter. No flavor.
Jenna makes the absolute best Watermelon Cucumber Mint refresher! You can always count on being met with a smiling face in the coffee shop. Also, peep those flowers, sometimes you can get grab and go bouquets made by Abigail Fitzpatrick!
TLDR; best coffee shop in Greensboro for: quality espresso and the like, cold-brew and seasonal offerings, never a problem with consistency, selection variety like draught beer, wine, and THC-infused beverages, atmosphere for working, studying, talking, and great baristas. Why it’s the best: Since my first visit to B&B, it has replaced every local coffee shop in my rotation. I like three of the local coffee shops in Greensboro, but this is the first one that checks all my café criteria (and is consistent, every time). The outdoor space with picnic tables and an accessible order window is my favorite feature. I usually order their signature latte, but I’ve tried drinks from their summer, fall and (new) winter collection, and they are fantastic. They also have a good draught beer and wine selection, that probably carries your go-to. I noticed they also carry THC-infused products which is also a plus in my book. Also, they recently rearranged the interior— a decision which cemented its position in being my go-to coffee shop. Now, the environment is ideal for reading, catching up with a friend, working on your laptop, or simply enjoying your drink. Lastly, the baristas that have helped me have all been great. I regularly order from Ky, who is consistent, kind, and approachable. He is patient if you have questions and seemingly cares to get to know you, a quality that is so undervalued in the “get-in, get-out, get-to-work” mindset of today. I have had two other baristas, both of whom made a great latte and were extremely accommodable. Based on my understanding, B&B is either taking the time to properly train their baristas on both skill and etiquette, or are only hiring experienced, quality baristas— both of which are smart choices to keep loyal clientele.
After lookingup reviews online I thought I'd give it a try. I really want to love it because the staff was very friendly and it was close to my home but honestly, as a fussy coffee drinker, this one is a pass for me. We order special fall menu. Can't remember the name but it was something brown butter and the other one was something caramel. The brown butter one was mainly sweet with no coffee taste to it at all. It was sweeter than the one with caramel which puzzled me a lot. The brown butter syrup or whatever they use had some weird smell to it so when it's mixed with coffee it gave the odd smell in the drink. I didn't finish my whole drink. The caramel one was alright but then again there was no coffee taste in it. If you prefer stronger coffee this place isn't for you.
I stopped in after a morning walk at Country Park and I'm so glad I did! I'm relatively new to the area and it's great finding a wonderful local coffee shop. The barista was friendly and she knocked my coconut cold brew out of the park. 😋 My only regret is I didn't order their largest size. I will stop in again!
