About three years ago, I moved back to my hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina. Soon after, (I think—time is just a concept these days), I wandered back to the Western side of town where I grew up. There I discovered Vignette Coffee on West Market Street, located two minutes *tops* from my childhood home.
Fast forward some years, I am a regular at Vignette and call Mandy and Michael friends. I have gone through many bags of beans and delighted in many seasonal drinks—my current favorite being the yuzu espresso tonic. The coffee is top tier and sells itself. Their care for customers and relational mentality regarding their business has created a new standard of building community. I always leave with my cup running over, literally with coffee and the exchange of life updates.
Recently I got to hang out at the shop on a roast day and snap some photos—we had the best time!
