Review of Green’s Coffee Bean Roaster & Teen Gifts: A Hidden Gem of Flavor, Heart, and Personality

I don’t usually write reviews, but Green’s Coffee Bean Roaster Teen Gifts isn’t your usual coffee shop.

Let’s start with this: they carry cheesecake-flavored syrup. Let me say that again for the people in the back—cheesecake. flavored. syrup. Do you understand the significance of that? Most places offer your vanilla, caramel, maybe a hazelnut swirl if they’re fancy. Green’s says, “Nah. You want your coffee to taste like dessert? We got you.”

Naturally, I ordered their Raspberry Mocha Cheesecake Iced Latte, and I swear—it is as heavenly as it sounds. Each component deserves its own praise:

The Raspberry isn’t that fake, medicinal nonsense you get at chains. It’s bright, juicy, and tastes like someone squeezed a perfectly ripe berry straight into your cup.

The Mocha is rich and smooth, not overpowering or bitter—like high-quality chocolate that melts into the drink, tying it all together like a warm hug.

The Cheesecake syrup? Game changer. It adds this silky, tangy-creamy note that makes the whole thing taste like a raspberry mocha cheesecake, blended into an iced latte. It shouldn’t work this well. But it does. Beautifully.

And the care in crafting it shows. This isn't a slapdash squirt-of-syrup and a prayer kind of place. Every part of the drink felt like it had intention behind it—from the layered pour to the balance of sweet and bold. It tasted like someone wanted me to love it, and I did.

But Green’s isn’t just about coffee. It’s got personality. It’s quirky in the best way—half café, half curated treasure trove. I spotted hot sauces tucked between shelves of local goods and teen gifts (hence the name), and honestly, I kinda wanted to buy everything. It’s the kind of place you go to for a latte and leave with a jalapeño-mango hot sauce and a birthday card for your cousin.

Also, shoutout to them for using paper straws. Small touch? Maybe. But it matters. It shows they care about the bigger picture—about waste, about sustainability, about not wrecking the planet one plastic sip at a time.

Bottom line: Green’s Coffee Bean Roaster Teen Gifts is doing things right. They’re creative, thoughtful, and deliciously unexpected. If you like coffee with flair, flavor, and a little bit of heart, don’t walk—run. Your taste buds...

It's a coffee place so pastries, chocolate, light snacks, some fruity juice options are all on the table. Gluten and dairy free options in snacks and drinks which is essential for me. What you might not expect is fantastic whole bean coffee options, tea, a beautiful selection of mugs, tea pots etc in addition to adorable tschokies (*Google does not understand how to spell things in Yiddish my apologies). My boyfriend bought me a Jane Austen mint lip balm from here, It's just lip balm (with organic ingredients yay), but I like the fact that it's Jane Austen themed so ❤️. But that's what I'm trying to say, the attention to detail, the level of wit and humor, even in their little side impulse by the counter goods... I feel that's indicative of the entire store and the staff. Accessibility notes: well there are no steps leading up to the store The section where the coffee and mugs and stuff there is a small step up. I would say the stores easily navigated by someone in a walker or with a cane but because of the somewhat compact layout only certain mobility devices are going to be able to fit comfortably in here. But everybody's so friendly and accommodating I would feel comfortable asking for assistance based...

About two years ego I went to this dump and did not like the owners or employees attitude at all so I never came back, but for the last month I have to drive by in my way to work and always thinking to stop but something told me not to, and today I did stop for a cup of coffee, the coffee is like the one you buy any were for .99 cents, so I ask for hazel nut and he told me that he can put some sweetness with that flavor, then I serve the coffee and approach the counter to pay for it, to my surprise they sell the coffee way more expense that anyone in the neighborhood and on top of that the charge me for the hazel nut flavor .29 cents, even if it is .5 cents is a ripoff since quick check, dunking, the gas stations, start bucks and others DONT CHARGE YOU FOR IT when I told this idiot about the review did not care, now I know why this place is always empty, in my case I never repeat never go back there ever, thanks God we have many other places in town for a good coffee with...
