Here is the PowerShell script to get all Webs within a SiteCollection and it prints Site Template name along with Title and URL. 

Just update $siteUrl and you are good to go.

$siteUrl = "http://myserver.com/"

$site = Get-SPSite $siteUrl

foreach ($web in $site.AllWebs) { 

            $web | Select-Object -Property Title, Url, WebTemplate 

}

$site.Dispose()
