The cutest coffee shop!! You order outside at the counter. They have benches by the order window as well as outdoor Adirondack chairs outside, and tables inside. They have lots of coffee options including decaf espresso which is what I always order. They have 2 size options and they make all their own syrups which is amazing!! The iced coffee lid option is the kind where you don't need a straw, but they do have straws if you would like one. They have a variety of milk options and always ask me how sweet I want my caramel latte. They have tiny plastic ducks and dinosaurs which they sometimes include with my coffee- an adorable little charm! Everyone has always been friendly. It is a bit pricy, it always runs me about $7-$8 for a decaf caramel latte in the tallest option. But always delicious!!! read more

Backyard Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte , North Carolina

Cute coffee shop with yummy lattes and solid breakfast options. Me and my friend stopped by on a Sunday morning; It was very busy so be prepared to wait. They have a good amount of fun drink options which is nice! I got the breakfast sandwich and the Pooh bear latte. The latte was great- good flavors and really delicious. The bagel sandwich was good but it didn't have much flavor- the chipotle sauce they served with it saved the sandwich, it was a good pairing. We were a little sad that all of the folks around us got ducks- we came hoping to get one but apparently it's at the barista/cashiers discretion. Oh well! Overall, a solid spot with flavorful fun drinks. read more

Backyard Brew - * Banana Bread Matcha Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte , North Carolina

So cute and good coffee! Amazing staff, will definitely be going back!! The guy taking orders will brighten anyone's day.

This place has amazing coffee. And they are very thoughtful about the way they make it make it exactly how you want it. The beans are roasted in the house. Also the guy that owns the shop is a really nice guy super helpful, cheerful, and brings good energy. Inside that plenty of nice seating for working or hanging out and they have great outdoor space if you wanna enjoy the weather. read more

The baristas were so awesome ! My friend was late so I had her on the phone trying to order her drink and the guy said he could talk to her on the phone to help her out. She got a matcha "flap jack" which she said was really good. I got the almond joy which heavy cream and stevia instead of simple syrup, and although it wasn't sweet like I wanted it (my fault for not asking if they had sugar free syrup lol), but the flavor of the cold brew and espresso was so good. I could also taste the coconut extract and it was a nice blend. I really enjoyed my coffee. They have awesome upbeat vibes. I also loved the little ducks they give you. They give you one in your favorite color and then give you an extra to give someone else who needs a little extra luck. I just think it's such an adorable concept. They were a 10/10 for me and def get there early because they get busy fast lol. read more

Great coffee spot. No complaints here- friendly service, quick, has parking lot, good coffee. I picked up an iced coffee and a desert rose latte. I was asked what sweetness I wanted with my latte, which is a nice touch. I don't like too sweet so I chose their "little sweet" option and it was just right. These 2 drinks came to about $11 in total. Parking was easy during a weekday- make sure you park in their lot and not the Nextdoor churches. The gal at checkout was friendly and gave my toddler a sticker- so that five bonus points for me! read more

Exceptional lattes! As the name suggests, come here for the "brew." We ordered the desert rose and banana bread lattes, and in both you could taste the strong, high quality coffee mixed with the flavors. I can see why the banana bread latte has gone viral - it has a combination of warm spices like cinnamon and clove with the banana flavor, which doesn't taste artificial. And mine was handed to me with a cute mini plastic unicorn - what a way to start the day! Next time, I'll skip the food. We ordered the breakfast burrito with avocado and sausage as well as the cinnamon roll. The tortilla of the burrito wasn't warm, and there was only avocado on one end. It was nicely cheesy though. The cinnamon roll reminded me of the kind you make at home out of a tube - I'd prefer if it was warm, with cream cheese icing and bolder cinnamon flavor to differentiate it from a grocery store purchase. The inside is eclectic, with colorful Sharpies that encourage customers to write all over the walls. The porch and front yard offer comfortable seating for nice CLT mornings. I'll see ya when it's time for my next latte! read more

Ran by the nicest Arabic family I've ever met, this places' customer service was a 1000/10. They were kind, funny, and genuinely cared that we enjoyed ourselves. We went specifically to try their Banana Bread Latte (aka the BBL, which made us laugh), and while it was cute in name, I'll be honest it didn't really taste like banana bread. It leaned more on the bitter side, so if you're expecting something super sweet or dessert-like, you might want to tweak it with a syrup or sugar. I also had an everything bagel that came stacked with cream cheese..., a borderline cream cheese sandwich. Personally, I was into it, but if you're not a cream cheese lover, you might want to ask for a lighter spread. Overall, I'd definitely go back just for the energy, service, and to try something else on the menu. The vibes are unmatched. Oh and they also have a chess board inside! read more

As soon as you walk up to the window at Backyard Brew, you're immediately greeted with warm smiles and happy personalities. After looking at the menu, I decided to order the Nutella Mocha, which I asked the worker to make it extra sweet. It was delicious! It was the perfect sweetness for a coffee order, especially for someone like me who doesn't drink coffee on a daily basis. Inside and outside, there are plenty of places to sit, work, and enjoy your coffee or sweet treat. A neat feature of this coffee shop is the fact that you can write on the walls so you'll find plenty of signatures, artwork, and other scribbles on the way. read more

If there is a banana bread latte on the menu... I'm gonna get it. This one was pretty good and I liked how they asked what sweetness level I wanted. I also love Dilworth and this is in such a good location. The only thing I don't like is the inside. It's not cozy coffee shop that I want to camp out in for hours. read more

Backyard Brew - ~ Almond Croissant (House Made) ~ Ginger Peach (Black Tea) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Charlotte , North Carolina

Best spot for coffee I've found in Charlottee so far. Their breakfast burritos and dubai chocolate croissants are to die for. The service here is what keeps me coming back too - TK manages to make my day everyday. That man was concocted with sugar, spice, and everything nice. He spreads that to the food and the customers every time I visit. Upon driving up, this place is unassuming because it simply looks like a home refitted to offer food service. The front room inside has been graffitied with sharpies reminiscent of the bathroom at your favorite local bar. It feels homey and approachable. If that's not your vibe, don't fret, the front porch furniture, complete with a fire pit or the adirondak chairs on the front lawn also welcome everyone in from the sun for conversations over coffee with your friends. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. read more

It was my first time visiting this coffee shop, and overall, it was a fine experience. I ordered the pistachio baklava latte, which I was really excited about, but it didn't quite meet my expectations--I didn't really taste the pistachio or baklava flavors. However, the service was fantastic. The owner at the front was incredibly accommodating and friendly, even telling me I could change my order or have it adjusted if I wasn't happy. My friend got the almond croissant and said it was delicious. The vibe of the place is cool, and we had no trouble finding seating even on a busy Sunday. One fun little touch is they give you a cute mini duck, which added a bit of charm to the experience. While the drink didn't wow me, the friendly service and welcoming atmosphere definitely made up for it. read more

I do not understand the hype around this place. The menu is super small and they do not have all the types of syrup one might want. (Not good options imo if you like fun kinds) The latte I got only had a strong taste of cinnamon, aside from 3 other things being in there.....also wayy too dark for a latte compared to other photos on here. The line is long all day on the weekends, so be prepared to wait 20-30 min. I did give it two stars for the service - super friendly cashier and staff. read more

I love this place so much. The owners are so kind and go above and beyond to personalize your order and experience. They have some side rooms and plugs so I was able to work from there. Get the burrito! It's big! read more

This place is packed but the wait isn't too bad. The person taking your orders (manager?) behind the window is hilarious and so friendly. Great coffee flavors and pastries. My husband loved his scone. The little kid in me also loves that they gave a tiny rubber ducky for your order. If you're not in too much of a hurry and want some great coffee and pastries, check this out. read more

A+ Excellence services this morning as we approach the ordering window at Backyard Brew. We were greeted with an extra Saturday vibe morning to welcome us into Sunday. To keep the customer energy going into the day before workweek. Love it! We explained that this was our first time here and gave us a detailed rundown of the place. Then he placed two little ducks in front of us as we looked over the menu. Cool, right! We both ordered the Golden Latte one hot and one cold. It definitely had a great fresh coffee herbal blend taste. Now, them Jordanian Cakes were a light fluffy rose sweet taste with a hint of cardamom and flakes of pistachio. Which made each bite rewarding. There were plenty of alphabetical parking spaces in the back. They even have a place to take a cool selfie spot near the parking. Nice for any type of outing. read more

Fun afternoon coffee stop. Great coffee and yummy pastries. Personable helpful barista. Super service!

This is without a doubt the best coffee shop I've ever been to -- in every single way. The energy is unmatched. It's an outdoor setup with a walk-up window, which makes it the perfect stop on a nice day and 100% worth the walk. The customer service here is prime. The cashier had such a fun, welcoming vibe -- he made me laugh, made the whole experience feel personal, and even gave me a tiny duck that genuinely made me smile. He also told me that if my drink wasn't exactly to my liking, to come back so he could make it right. That's customer service done right -- no ego, just real care. As for the drinks: the banana matcha latte he recommended? Life changing. I never would've thought to combine those flavors, but it was smooth, rich, and just the right amount of sweet. They're also super mindful if you don't do sweet -- they make sure everything is made exactly to your taste. Great drinks, great people, unbeatable vibes -- can't wait to come back. read more

This place is popular! Arrived around 11 and the line was down to the sidewalk in front of the house. Took us about 20 minutes from there to order and the guy taking orders was amazingly friendly and made sure to explain what Turkish coffee was as it was our first try. Coffee drinks were really good but would pass on the muffin next time and try something else. Very neighborhood vibe and you can write on the walls if you wanted to, there was some lofi music playing inside and some star wars memorabilia and funko pops indoors on the mantel too. Definitely would return for coffee and to hang out! read more

Service is amazing and coffees were perfect! You can actually taste the coffee and the flavors if you ordered a flavored coffee, unlike others that tastes like watered down coffee. Will be coming back often. read more

Backyard Brew is a really great coffee shop. I love the walkability to it and the outdoor feel. I got the O'Canada latte. The latte overall was good but a little too sweet. They do ask for sweetness but I think I should have clarified a little more (so this is on me). I think they have unique combinations and I also like that a lot are not based on sweeteners. I will say the person taking my order was extremly friendly but this also made service slower. read more

Trust the reviews. Backyard Brew is the bomb. Not only are all their offerings, from their pistachio baklava latte to their lentil soup, divine, but also this place has GREAT vibes. (To be more specific about their drink and food offerings, my pistachio baklava latte had real pistachio bits in it. And the lentil soup was better than what I've had at legit restaurants.) As for those vibes I was talking about, the place has so much indoor and outdoor seating; millions of markers to doodle the walls and tables; and the most radiant customer service ever. The man taking our orders was a natural conversationalist. He made every single one of his customers so happy. He was even giving out these teeny tiny ducks. TLDR: If you want to start your day off with a happy belly and mind, you should definitely check out Backyard Brew. You will not be disappointed! Oh yes, and there's also a good amount of parking spots available too! read more

Feels like family. Truly a wonderful coffee shop with so much love. I first saw this place on door dash and decided to go in person instead. Best decision I have ever made. There is so much flavor coffee you can choose from and the level of sweetness. I went with the pistachio baklava latte with honey and medium sweetness and it was so tasty. Let's not start with the in house pistachio croissant truly delicious I haven't had something like it before. While waiting for my order I walked around inside and found so many cute areas to work from as well as outside. The staff was super friendly and delivered the order to us while we look around. Felt so welcoming and it does help that the coffee shop looks like a house. Overall so excited to find this place and so pleased with the staff. Can't wait to make a return and try more flavors! read more

The perfect neighborhood coffee spot. Built inside an old house, it feels so comfortable. The staff is the best, and you get free ducks! My most recent visit, I had the golden latte, which was surprisingly good. Haven't had the food yet, but will next time. Would bring anyone visiting me here. read more

Not only is the coffee delicious, but the atmosphere really sets this place apart. The owner was born to be a barista, he is so personable and makes you "sip before you dip" (try your drink to make sure you like it before you go, because he'll make you a new one if you're not happy). You can color crayons on the walls and tables inside or sit on the front porch or yard outside. Creative drink creations, amazing seasonal menu items, what more can you ask for? read more

Best experience at a cafe ever! I highly recommend. I got the pistachio latte and the mocha caliente, and you will not regret. The mocha does have spice if you don't like spicy drinks. They make the drinks to perfection. If you want less or more sweet, less or more hot, decaf or caffeinated, they will accommodate. Will certainly be back to try their many many creative drinks! read more
