The perfect start in the morning, pairing with a meal, or for an afternoon pick me up, The Fresh Market is excited to bring a new and exclusive destination for coffee to Greensboro – Roasting Plant Coffee. With a selection of the highest-grade single origin specialty coffee in the world, Roasting Plant’s signature Javabot ™ system brings the expertise of Roast Master Genevieve Kappler to every fully traceable bean and each custom-made cup. The Javabot ™ system recreates Genevieve’s exact roast profile for each single origin bean. Guests can order a coffee to go in less than a minute to enjoy in store or on the run or take home a bag of their favorite beans. Exceptional teas, velvety hot chocolate, and delicious shakes are also on the Roasting Plant Coffee menu along with our freshly made complementary food offerings.

Braising is all about drawing out the flavor and cooking it “low and slow.” Guests can order from a selection of braised meats, a vegetarian tagine option and sides while shopping for the week. And pizza lovers can order by the slice or take home a whole Brick Oven Pizza. The menu provides seven tempting flavors, or one of the pizza team members can customize a pizza to go with all their favorite toppings.
The Fresh Market was born in North Carolina and no menu would be complete without the company’s selection of smoked-in-house pork BBQ, ribs, and signature side dishes. The store’s pitmasters smoke the meat and ribs “low and slow” over hardwood, flavoring and tenderizing it to perfection. The BBQ menu boasts pulled pork, beef brisket, St. Louis spareribs, turkey breast and pork roast—dinner is served!
