"If you need a spot that feels like a mountainside small-town book nook, Green Bean is your place. There’s an assortment of armchairs as well as personal and communal tables (vulture-stalk to get one by a window). The coffee here is served in mugs that you’d mistake for ones from your own home, and everyone tends to be really warm and friendly in here. photo credit: Erin Lodi" - Aimee Rizzo

Nice people and a decent place. However I'm afraid they don't mop their floors as much or tend to the overall hygiene of the cafe as it has a odd smell to it. Good for independent study. Great drinks. And true to dollar pricing.

Great little place to get work done. There's a lot of room in this coffee shop and I really like their Cafe Americanos here. On a sunny day, there is a lot of natural light the comes into the building because of the surrounding windows. I would say this is probably one of they are on of the most thoughtful business I've been too. Supposedly, the tips that this shop receives goes to benefit a different charity/cause. Very cool!

I'm here every week, often 2-3 times, sometimes 2-3 times in one day! I love this place. The food is good, the coffee is good, the atmosphere is good, and it has one of the best kids' areas in any normal cafe in town. The staff all knows me and my kids here, pretty much the first time a cafe I've been a regular at has managed that in Seattle. Most cafes, even if I see the same person or two every time and am in there regularly, don't ever recognize me. I also love that they have a featured nonprofit every month. I've found out about some really cool organizations by reading the board, one of which I now sit on the board for because I was so excited about it after seeing the info at Green Bean. I've been meaning to check out the various events at Green Bean and will update this review once I have.

This place is always a good idea. The coffee is excellent, and the staff is very kind. I always contribute to their charity of the month, and there's an opportunity to buy a cup of coffee for those who might not be able to afford it. There's a little play nook for little kids, that the kids and parents always seem to enjoy.

Good coffee, great atmosphere. A little on the pricy side, but it's the best in greenwood, also one of my favorite "work from"/hang out coffee shops. Small selection of board games, big kids area, plenty of space and not too busy

I went here for a business meeting, they had lots of seating and good drinks. The Wi-Fi connection was pretty Good, which is always a concern for coffee shops. I would totally go back for a coffee/hot chocolate. I also saw a few kids there, looks like there were some toys for them to play with so that might be a perk for parents.

Love this place - a winner for tots. Mostly it is a simple café with excellent coffee and baked goods. The clutchest thing they did was install a train table so little ones can play while you sip your latte. It is so incredible and genius. It doesn't turn the whole place into a play room, just a quite corner for tots and trains. Awesome.

First off, the coffee was fantastic. BUT, it's lacking in customer service. I was the only person in line when I ordered, but when he took my payment, another customer walked in behind me. The screen that shows the tip and signature went dark when he flipped it around, but before I could say anything, he started taking her order. I got it to turn back on, but before I could finish (my finger was still on the screen), he flipped it back around and out of my hand so he could take the other customer's payment. I wasn't done. We were the only two in line. The other guy was really nice, but not him.
