The Back Table is a place of Community, Connection & CoCreation! Friendliest groups of folks ever! The drinks are superb, the vibes are excellent, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. They host tons of events and open mic on Mondays is always a treat! Shout outs to Agis, Addie, Josh, Gayland, their supportive partners and our very own Laura Jane Vincent and Tom!! Love this space!! 1 year on the books :)

Very contemporary! Iwas honestly looking for a crusty coffee shop with as little foot traffic as possible. I didnt get that here. I got more! They have different corners and things going on. Theres a photo booth, a thrift shop and a stage for music. Very nice venue for events. Bartender said they got comedy, music, open mic and such goings on. defo coming back. Not to mention the coffee was very distinct and yum! I love it here!

What a hidden gem of a coffee shop, and community arts collective! Located in a historic bread/flour factory :) This coffee shop is open until late a night with a HUGE amount of daily events from morning to evening ranging from open mics, mini renaissance fairs, movie nights, raves, book clubs, art market pop ups, craft sessions, and historic presentations like “Sudan Deep Dive”. You should seriously follow their instagram and join in on these constant flows of great community events, often free or cheap. The food is minimal but still good options of pastries, chips, bagels, and instant noodles. A large amount of great tea selections and very good coffee! The space here is massive, so a quiet spot to study is very attainable.

I’ve been coming here consistently for about a month now. Great coffee, events and atmosphere. Always a great event at least once week. Live music, flea markets, pop ups and fun drinks you’ve never heard of. Great time

Dropped by Black Table for the 1st time last night. I heard it opened in January. It is really cute and spacious with tons of parking. I had a tab of about $30 for 5 beers for 3 people. The Service was friendly. I plan to come back and try some coffee and work on my laptop during the day soon. I hear they have open mic nights every Monday and met the person who runs that. They also have an artist in residence who (among other things) DJs. The energy in the space is unlike anything I’ve seen in Greensboro so far, and am pretty excited about that. So glad this place is here!
