This place was absolutely bursting at the seams with people on a Saturday morning, which is a good sign. Somehow, even though we joined a super long line, they got our coffees to us within 3 minutes after ordering. They have a pretty large amount of baked goods to choose from, plus legit breakfast dishes you order for there or to go. Their coffee menu spans hot, cold and blended drinks, including 6-8 specialty latte choices (green flag)! If you're stopping in on the weekend, expect to be there for at least 15-20 minutes to account for a line. read more

In town for a wedding looking for a matcha. Was pleasantly surprised by theirs. We also tried the banana bread and breakfast panini. Both we would order again! read more

Best coffee! Love the latte. Owners are staff are friendly. The ambiance is welcoming and their pastries are amazing!

Quality/taste: I got the southwest chicken wrap + caramel macchiato. Everything was delicious!! The southwest chicken wrap was much tastier than I expected from this little cafe! The avocado spread on the wrap was what topped it off - SO GOOD and flavorful! The caramel macchiato was also really good. Their coffee tastes strong!! I enjoyed my meal there! Service: Not super helpful when you ask for a suggestion. Environment: Nice and cute. It was packed the day we went! Barely any seats inside the place. Our group of 4 struggled to find a spot to sit but we waited and made it work. Price: Decent pricing. I think what I got was appropriately priced given how good everything was! I'd definitely come back! Delicious! read more

If you need coffee in Hayward then this is your place to go! I love the ambience and there's plenty of seating inside. Plus their menu is plentiful ranging from coffee, shakes, smoothies, sandwiches. I love how fresh their coffee and smoothies are. I got the cinnamon bun one day and then the crème brûlée the next day. They were both delicious! It did take a bit of wait time to get our food but it was so fresh, warm, and delicious! Overall would come back again! read more

Backroads Coffee - S'mores coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, Wisconsin

I understand busy...I really really really do. But busy and rude, nope. The baked goods and breakfast foods were good. The coffee was fine. The chai latte was sweeeeeeeet (in the sugary way, not the great way). I tossed it. And yes I asked before I ordered it "not really that sweet." It's a good stop with the limited choices in Hayward. read more

If you're looking for anything coffee this isn't the place. Terrible americano and terrible latte. Threw ours out and made better ones at kwik trip. Can't speak for their food other than it did look good. Decent menu with a good bakery selection. read more

The latte with oat milk was quite tasty. Ordered a Tuscan sunrise Panini with gluten-free bread. The gluten-free bread was the standard mass produced bread. Which made the sandwich a sandwich, however plain. I will definitely come back again for coffee while in the area. The ambience was hip, welcoming and fun. read more

Love it here! Cute interior, great coffee, good service. We come here when we come to Hayward! read more

It's too bad this is now the only option for coffee near Main Street. It's cute inside but the coffee honestly isn't great. DH had a regular coffee (which was serve yourself from a jug at the end of the counter), and I had a decaf mocha. His tasted burnt and several hours old, and my mocha was just OK... and most of the reason for the OK was the chocolate and the whip cream. One good thing, if you bring your own mug, regular coffee is super cheap, like $1.50. Staff was sub-par today as well, the young person behind the counter didn't even know what kind of coffee they had, and the other team member was grumpy. We were also not told about the loyalty system until after we completed our order. The previous day we had gone in starving and excited to have some vegetarian options for lunch, but we were turned away at 1:30 PM. The older lady behind the counter yesterday was very nice and sympathetic, and first said apologetically it would be a half-hour wait for food, but then a younger gal walked by and gruffly told her "just tell everyone the kitchen is closed". I understand they have staffing issues and it's the Birkie weekend, but it was a big disappointment both days we went. Still, it seems to be one of the few places to get any sort of vegetarian options in town, so I will update my review if we manage to get fed, and hopefully third times a charm, and we will have a better experience. read more

I lovely place to get a latte in town...get the blueberry lemon scone, it was perfect! It's right near Main Street of Hayward, a great place to start your day while wondering the shops in town. read more

Stopped on the drive through Hayward. Very nice cafe with a few outdoor tables (brought dog) and had the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. Great service. read more

The breakfast food options are fabulous with primarily bakery type items, coupled with quick service, and neat ambiance in a long-shaped coffee shop newly connected to a bakery that supplies half its items. The coffee is all local to this special Hayward shop. It opens fabulously early at 6A many days, and is peaceful to work in with great wifi. As its business continues to seemingly boom, hopefully the management team will still cater to its reliable nomadic laptop-based clientele, as there's plenty of room to accommodate all, especially toward the Vibes Bakery in the back across from the superchic pink sofa and lounger, where there are eight plugs clustered together - probably the most sensible laptop table area for clustering the computers during busy times read more

Watered down coffee, we got three drinks and they all tasted watered down and we were very unimpressed. Definitely wouldn't come here again. Although the servers and ambiance is really nice it's sad the coffee ruins it. read more

Very friendly staff and cute decide for Sale. I had a chai tea that was delicious. My husband enjoyed a regular black coffee. They also sell coffee beans. My husband had gotten special Blends from them Shipped to our home. We haven't tried the sandwiches yet but their menu looks awesome. read more

Backroads Coffee - BLT - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hayward, Wisconsin

I believe this to be one of the few place to dine in the town of Hayward where you aren't being watching my taxidermy. Great service and nice little lunch spot. Only complaint is the tiny space, hard to eat with more than one person. Would take it to go next time. Hope to be around again to order morning coffee - it smelled so good!! Not a great space for a large group, but we made it work! read more

Stopped for an afternoon coffee - an iced americano and regular coffee. Both were good but I've had stronger americanos. The place is a bit cramped when full of people. read more

Cute spot to get some work done. Coffee is pretty good, but seems to be pretty disorganized with the orders. I don't recommend the breakfast sandwich, it is quite bland for the price. read more

Great cup of coffee plus many other drinks as well. The bakery is so yummy! The service is good!

Stopped by for coffee, such a nice atmosphere. Staff we're very organized and neat. Loved the coffee

Love this place! Great chai tea and lots of gluten free choices!! Everyone is very helpful and it's a great place to work from, always clean and great decor!! read more

Very cute coffee shop near Main Street in Hayward. I come and do work on my laptop here sometimes when I'm waiting for my family to due their shopping. The urban aesthetic vibe gives it a cozy feel. Staff is very friendly. There is more seating past the coffee counter in the back so don't be fooled if you see the front tables near the entrance all filled. The drinks are good, at least much better than Starbucks in my opinion. read more

Very friendly staff- the place is cozy with chill old music. Lots of tea options to buy as well. I had the chai latte which was good. Really loved the poppy seed lemon muffin- except I wish it didn't have the topping. Soft and moist. Also had the artichoke pesto panini which was delicious- much larger than I expected. read more

Visited Hayward for two days - visited Backroads twice! Excellent coffee, excellent service. Location is great - right in town, super walkable but plenty of parking if you're in a hurry. Great variety of coffee drinks. Prices are reasonable. As a coffee snob, I can promise you that the minute we are back in town, this will be our first stop! read more

Delicious blueberry/lemon scone and latte. Only wish the latte was served in a ceramic cup since we had it there.

Any time we are in the Hayward area, I know I'll be required to stop at Backwoods to pick up some of their bulk house iced tea blend. It's delicious - the best way I CN describe it would be something like a minty sportea. My experience with the staff tends to be better off-season (i.e. not summer help) but in general everyone has been pleasant and helpful. Also, free wifi is a nice plus! read more

I've been stopping in every morning for coffee and to get in my one hour of internet per day. It's a cute little place with a small menu, good coffee, and a very cozy interior. My go-to drink has been a large iced mocha with raspberry, with no whip. Definitely delicious and consistent flavor. Sitting outside is enjoyable, albeit slightly chilly in the early morning hours. The staff has been nothing but friendly and courteous thus far. It's nice to be able to escape the hell known as Starbucks back home and enjoy a smaller, independent coffee shop with other tourists and a few locals. read more

Staff is more than friendly and helpful. Since Hayward is so North, I think the 'Minnesota nice' carries over. :) Lovely choice of drinks. Would have appreciated a larger selection of pastries. But overall, great. I had a single espresso shot, and sat outside sipping it. It'd be nice if there could be more space outside - but that's what you get in downtown Hayward! Free WiFi. Great study and/or writing space. Glad that there is finally a local roastery in Hayward! read more

More about the community than the quality of coffee, which is fine, except when I have a coffee headache and went out of my way to visit this place to get an americano. The espresso shots were way too long and pulled by someone who (I made the assumption) didn't really know better. Plus they charged me like $5 for it, but whatever. If I were hungry or wanted a place to hangout I would go here again. read more

I love four things about this place: 1) French Roast always available 2) Free wi-fi 3) Comfortable place to sit and escape the normal deep friend fare from other local businesses. 4) Locally owned Yeah, Hayward is getting more corporate (Walgreens, Wal-mart, Perkins, McDonalds) but there are still places like Backroads that are not part of the corporate, strip mall scene. read more

This place is awesome! The staff is really nice and the service is great. They have a great selection of drinks, grab and go food, and bulk coffee. Best coffee shop in Hayward and the surrounding area. I look forward to visiting when I'm in Hayward. read more

I cannot say enough good about Backroads. One of my favorite coffee roasts is Highlander Grog and theirs is one of the best I've ever had. The building has ample seating in the back, but as a local favorite it is busy up front so you may have to wait a bit. I always make sure to stop when I am back in Hayward. read more

Excellent lattes and blueberry lemon scones but mostly loved the great service. I felt like I was part of the family from start to finish. There are quaint tables outside and EVERYONE is so friendly! What a blessing!! read more
