Your Trusted Deli in New Westminster Since 1994
Established in 1994, Greens & Beans has been a cornerstone of New Westminster's culinary scene for over 30 years. Our journey began on 12th Street, where we built a reputation for fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a welcoming atmosphere. After relocating to Columbia Street, we expanded our operations to better serve our growing customer base while maintaining the same high-quality standards that defined our early success. Today, located in historic Sapperton, we continue to prioritize community engagement, donating all tips to local charities for 11 months each year. Our dedication to excellence has attracted notable attention, including visits from culinary personalities like Larry Thomas, famously known as 'The Soup Nazi' from Seinfeld.We specialize in crafting gourmet soups, sandwiches, and salads that reflect our commitment to flavor and freshness. Our coffee truck services extend our reach to businesses across Mary Hill Business Park and beyond, offering convenient meal solutions for employees. With a team that values both tradition and innovation, we maintain rigorous quality control across all our offerings. Our decades of experience in the food service industry position us as a trusted choice for both casual dining and on-the-go meals. Through consistent service improvements and a focus on customer satisfaction, we remain dedicated to upholding our legacy as New Westminster's premier deli.

They make the best, yummiest sandwiches. And don't get me started on their soup. They make wicked Thai soup to die for. I never remember to take a photo until after the sandwich has been eaten. Next time. LOL

I have been a New West (and New West Adjacent) resident for many, many years and can't believe I have not had the opportunity to try this little restaurant before now. I was greeted warmly when I entered even though Jaymes behind the counter was having a very interesting conversation with another customer about the different types of clam chowder in the world (he has strong, hilarious opinions). He gave me a few moments with the menu and was there when I was ready to order. I chose the Savanah wrap (chicken salad, avo, bacon, lettuce... yum!) and the wicked Thai soup. The wrap was awesome and

Nothing beats the comfort and taste of a home cooked meal and thats exactly what you get when you visit Greens & Beans. Not only that but they are a family owned business and treat their customers like family, too! Support local and give them a try! :)

I drove by this place so many times, however never had time to stop and try their food and service. What a great surprise! Sandwiches made fresh, soups are delicious, not too hot or spicy, service is prompt and courteous, always smiling! I loved the train used to deliver my food. Thank you! For EV owners, added bonus with a single port Type 2 charging station during your stay, if the spot is not occupied.

Driving by Green's and Beans Deli for so many years, I am ashamed I haven't been here before today. We ordered the Mile High clubs and Curry coconut chicken soup. It was delicious!!!! The sandwiches are loaded with so much goodies, that we could only eat half of it. Save rest for later. Very friendly staff
Definitely will be coming back to try other sandwiches and soups. Very very important to support our New Westminster local eats.

Really enjoyed this place. The service is excellent and very friendly. Sandwiches are excellent and great soup selection (even on a hot summer day). They do amazing things for the community and were more than happy to support this business!
