The Green Bee Cafe

Unfortunately, their food is inconsistent. I understand this is a new business, but cutting corners is not a good way to go. Particularly with so much competition nearby. I just don’t go here anymore because I hate having to «hope» that my food turns out the way I had it last time and/​or properly prepared. I also recommend you check your order before you leave as I’ve also had it mixed up with another order before.

We were on our way to a coffee shop when we passed by the Green Bee and decided to stop in for lunch. Good decision for us.
I can’t speak to the other items on the menu but the fried chicken sandwich was DE. LI. CIOUS. It came with either a side of fries or a house salad. Of course, we had the fries, which sadly were not that great. It seems as though they had been cooked in oil that was not hot enough so they were floppy and oily.
Another co-​worker ordered the vegan chili and enjoyed it very much. We’ll be back and I’ll order the fried chicken sandwich again but will skip the fries.

Possibly the best fried chicken sandwich that I have ever eaten.

Kamaria is nuts. This place is a gem. This place has the best soup and bread pudding in the district. I LOVE their happy hour. Great staff and service. Viva Le Bee!

No. Just no. I forgot my lunch at home this morning. And because it’s freezing cold and overcast, the deli next to my building was packed. So I decided to run across the street and try out Green Bee.
I ordered a Classic Cob Salad, then noticed their soup of the day included Butternut Squash soup, my favorite, so I order a cup of that too. I get to the cashier and he says: Your total is $ 17.60. Excuse me? If I wanted to spend $ 20 on lunch I would have gone to a sitdown restaurant. Seriously, I’ve had lunch at Smith & Wollensky for cheaper. How is a cup of soup more expensive than liquor? IDK.
So, I sulk out the place feeling like I’d been robbed. And as I walk into my building my co-​worker walks in at the same time with a cobb salad from the deli. I asked her how much it was $ 7.99. Now I’m appalled. As I slink back to my desk ashamed, I tell myself, this is gonna be the best soup and salad ever! Well nah. It fell flat. The soup was too sweet and the salad was blah (the chicken was cold and bland and the vinaigrette was nothing special).
They need to analyze their competition. There is not a single restaurant with prices that high on a lunch menu in a 3 – 4 block radius. Not even the upscale dining places… Plus, every restaurant in that location has failed, including really great ones with reasonable prices. This is place is mediocre at best and insanely overpriced. It’s totally not gonna make it.
Plus, the other reviews look totally sketchy. I walk past there every evening and have never seen anyone partaking in these «great» happou specials.

This place is really close to where I work, and my friends and I love going there for lunch. They have solid happy hour specials and a great variety of food. The owners are of former Bread & Brew fame, so if you miss Bread & Brew as much as I do, this is a perfect substitute.

Just tried this place and loved it! I had a great soup and pulled pork sandwich.
They even have a full bar and happy hour! What more could you need :)
