    The green line is my favorite place to get work done. Most of the workers are dry friendly and the food is really good. I recommend the sandwich called the Steve! The only downside is no wifi :(

    Treat these people well; they work hard and maintain a customer-friendly, fast-paced, happy attitude; even when the line is out the door. To the GLC Team, we love ya'!

    Come hang out at the parklet! It looks like outdoor seating reserved for cafe patrons, but it's actually public space, perfect for reading a book or doing some work.

    You absolutely MUST get a Weckerly's ice cream cup or sandwich. Small batch artisanal ice cream made on-site. It's AMAZING!!

    Owned by an artist and her brother-in-law, Green Line and its two sister locations serve only organic, free trade-certified coffee and locally sourced sodas and food.

    Get away from those distracting interwebs (no wi-fi here). This location does accept cards now, via Square. Try the sweet potato wrap!

    Try the Weckerly's Ice Cream. I personally prefer milkshakes over ice cream, but this is pretty damn impressive. Made in house in small batches.

    Cappuccino was well made and had a strong flavor. They don't have a lot of food options--just baked items and pre-made sandwiches.

    Quaint. Quality. Understated. Thankfully not trying too hard. Matcha pistachio donut was good with my macchiato.

    Vegan doughnuts! To me, the lattes are just okay. Taste a bit burnt / acidic unless you really sweeten. And that's coming from someone who actually likes black coffee

    A soy latte and a vegan moon pie can make even the grayest Saturday perfect. As a plus, Nobody here will ever use words like "grande" or "venti".
