As of 7:30AM this morning the Green Bean Café is open for business! I’ve been trying to post this little clip all morning but things have been a little hectic around here. Our hours are:
Monday: 7:30AM – 6:00PM
Tuesday – Friday: 7:30AM – 11:00PM
Saturday: 11:00AM – 11:00PM
Sunday: Closed
Hope to see you at the Green Bean Café soon. You can find us at: 2320 Wyandotte St. W. in the lower level.
We want the Green Bean to display some to best local art in the city and be a great venue for local musicians. To that end, we have some large white walls that need to be filled and 20′ x 20′ stage that needs musicians. If you are interested in displaying your art, performing on our stage, or having your CD played in the café leave us comment below or email us at info@greenbeancoffee.ca. If you have some kind of portfolio of art or music available online be sure to send us a link to it so we can see first hand what you are about.
We will be open from 7PM – 9PM for an event where you can check out our newly renovated space and enjoy some free samples. All we ask from you is that you fill out a brief survey letting us know what you think of your time at the Green Bean so we can tune things up for our grand opening. On each Sample Night, we will be offering different selections from our menu so you may have to come more then once to really get a feel for what we’re about.
We’re really excited about seeing many of you and showing off the café over the next few weeks, so please don’t be shy to come on out.
Hey everyone. We had to make another last minute change and we won’t be able to do our Sample Night tonight. Sorry to anyone who made plans to come and visit us. We’ll see you all on Friday!
We have four Sample Nights scheduled. If you’ve contacted us already about an invitation, we’ll be in touch with you today to find out which night(s) you would like to come. If you haven’t signed up yet, leave a comment on the website, letting us know which day you would like to come and you’ll be all set.

What is a Sample Night?
Each night listed about, we will be open from 7PM – 9PM for an invitation only event where you can check out our newly renovated space and enjoy some free samples. All we ask from you is that you fill out a brief survey letting us know what you think of your time at the Green Bean so we can tune things up for our grand opening. On each Sample Night, we will be offering different selections from our menu so you may have to come more then once to really get a feel for what we’re about.
We’re really excited about seeing many of you and showing off the café over the next few weeks, so please don’t be shy to request an invitation (or two).
Due to some things we can’t control (and a few we maybe could have) our grand opening has moved to September 8th. If anyone had made special plans to come to the Green Bean tomorrow we apologize but rest assured, this brief delay will be worth it.
As some conciliation for changing our opening date, we will be having a series of Sample Nights leading up to our opening. Our first night is Wednesday, August 26. On these nights we will be open from 7PM – 9PM for a by invitation only event where you can check out our newly renovated space and enjoy some free samples. All we ask from you is that you let us know what you think of your time at the Green Bean so we can tune things up by our grand opening.
Interested in coming to a Sample Night? All you have to do is leave a comment on the website and we’ll get back to you by Monday night (August 24) to confirm your invitation.
Tomorrow morning, I’ll post the dates and times of the Sample Nights so you can choose which one you would like to attend.
Check back Monday morning for the date and times of our Sample Nights!
After only two days of waiting, we got our new sign yesterday afternoon! We’d been working all day on the renovations so we might look a little rough, but the sign sure doesn’t. Huge thanks to Dan over at Printhouse (511 Pelissier, 519.551.3825) for doing such a great and speedy job. Dan also made us some “coming soon” signs to put up but I left them on his desk at Printhouse.
Construction on our serving counter mostly wrapped up yesterday and a lot of the tools and garbage were cleaned out. On the whole, the café is much more presentable now (but still needs lots of work).
In the meantime, the Green Bean Café is, “coming soon”. We’ll see you on August 24th! You can check out more photos from our renovations here or join our Facebook Fan Page at http://facebook.com/greenbeancoffee.
We are excited to announce that in addition to our website, Twitter, and Flickr, we now have our own Facebook Fan Page. Be sure to check out: http://www.facebook.greenbeancoffee.info today and become a fan of the Green Bean Coffee Company!
