The catfish sandwich was good but the sweet potato fries were really the star of the show. I don't think there was WiFi and everything is brought out in to-go containers.

My favorite lunch spot downtown. Portions and quality are always top tier. Will always support them

This was catered for my work. First, I'll start with the highlights. The tomato basil soup was absolutely delicious. The flavor was very rich and it warmed your organs with the first spoonful. Perfect for the chilly weather. I was also very impressed with what came in the catering box. There is everything you need for a full meal besides the sandwich, such as the salad and the Blondie for dessert, as well as condiments, a napkin, utensils, and a hand wipe for cleaning. Even though I was very much looking forward to the sandwich, I found it a bit lacking. The pesto wasn't very flavorful, and despite it being on the sandwich, I found the sandwiches bread to be a bit dry. I also felt that there was a disproportionate amount of bread relative to the rest of the sandwich. I understand that this is a café and they're probably not used to such wide and large orders, but overall I probably would go to a different sandwich shop if I'm looking for a sandwich.

The GreenBee Café is my favorite cafe in Washington to enjoy local seasonal cooking. Their dishes are a burst of flavor with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. I love their classic cobb salad and blackened catfish sandwich– fresh, and satisfying. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff make it a perfect spot for a lunch date or solo meal. They cater well to my dietary needs, which is a big plus for me. You can enjoy their all-day breakfast, sandwiches, wraps, and pasta. Evergreen Eats Cafe proves that healthy eating can be a delight for the taste buds. It's my go-to place for guilt-free indulgence.

Food is amazing but is there a law that can protect us from being charged MORE than what is displayed on the wall & menus with an explanation that. We have not printed our updated menu. I don't mind making a choice to pay a high price that I see everywhere!!!!!!

The food is on point. I just wish my food was ready at the time that I picked it up. I even came down from my office 10min after the computer said that it was ready. I know it's a catering business and they can be busy sometimes, but I'm a paying customer too and shouldn't have to wait 20min after the order was supposed to be ready. Just sayin'!

Teri was a pleasure to work with for my catering order! Placing the order on the phone and e-mail was quick and easy. The delivery was on-time. The food was delicious and packed well. The box lunches are great for catering.They have a variety of different sandwiches, salads, and pastas. I highly recommend The Greenbee for all your breakfast and lunch catering needs.

My go-to spot to get lunch when I'm working at the office. Its definitely not expensive like the other places around here. The portions are very big too! you will have leftovers to take home :) Overall this place is unmatched!! Wish it was open past 2 pm.

I have passed this place so many times on the weekend, and it has always been closed. I made a mental note to stop in on a weekday for lunch. The cafe is really spacious and rather darkly lit. There were not many people inside dining. About a third of the cafe was being used to pack box lunches, so I'm guessing they must do a decent amount of catering. The lady at the register was very friendly and offered suggestions. The price of the food was pretty cheap compared to other fast lunch spots. I ordered the Mushroom Florentine wrap with goat cheese. The flavor was great! But the wrap got really soggy almost immediately. I only had a 3 minute walk back to my office, but the wrap was already really wet and drippy by the time I got back. It made the wrap really messy to eat! This detail aside, the food was yummy and filling. It only cost $10 for a substantial lunch. I would come back again and try another menu item.

Yesterday I placed a catering order for 12 people. As an assistant at my company who places a lot of catering orders, it always makes me nervous to use a new/unknown place for an important meeting. It always seems like the more important the meeting, the more problems go wrong with catering. Not here. The food from GreenBee Cafe (we got all box lunches) was beautifully packaged, tasted great, and got rave reviews from all. Most importantly - it was ON TIME (thank you for that, EZ Cater). I have no hesitation in recommending Green Bee Cafe online delivery via EZ Cater for smallish office catering (mine was 12 people). I called and spoke to Terry to thank her and the entire team for a wonderful experience. I will thank EZ Cater, too, for the great communication. You all rock, many thanks.

Nothing was special or memorable about this place other than all the food being super bland. I got the chicken sandwich and tomato soup. It wasn't that warm and the sandwich came with nothing but subpar coleslaw. The tomato soup was pretty good. Felt dirty and unfinished on the inside.
