    I had an insanely great brunch here. First, after ordering food and drinks on the tablet on the porch, we got to go inside and look at the fun community aesthetic of the business. It's a little house that anyone can write on. And once the food was ready, it was oooonnnnn- i got an avocado bagel huge enough to share with my friend, and it was fixin's on fixin's!!! I dont like messy food or too many ingredients, but I make my exception here. Everything tasted amazing on this bagel, it was savory and filling. My matching chair surprisingly made so much sense together, the flavors combined and iced on this warm day felt so great. After our meal, we sat out on the lawn with the other patrons and just enjoyed a chat. Definitely stop by with your friends, you wont be disappointed!

    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.

    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!!!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Such a cute vibe there are plenty of spaces for seating, they converted the whole house. The baristas were Very kind in explaining the menu items and I throughly enjoyed the pastries and tea/coffee. I got to try my mom's Turkish coffee and it was flavorful.

    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.

    Had a great experience at backyard brew! The owner was super nice and even gave my son a sticker lol. I ordered the banana bread matcha latte and am very pleased with the drink. I will be going back to try their other matchas! 10/10 recommend going here!

    The staff is super friendly and always happy to customize your drink just the way you like it. If you're into something unique, definitely try the Banana Bread Latte - it's amazing. Tastes just like banana bread in a cup, with the perfect balance of sweet and cozy. Great atmosphere, great people, and awesome coffee. Highly recommend!

I had recently tried this drink at another Haraz location and loved it so much that I officially considered myself a matcha drinker. When I received my drink, I noticed it looked much pinker than it had at the other locations I'd visited. I assumed it had just been mixed and that the usual layers of matcha, strawberry, and whipped cloud had blended together, so I didn't think much of it. However, after taking my first sip in the car, it immediately tasted like strawberry milk. Since I was on my way to work, I kept drinking it, expecting the matcha flavor to come through, but it never did. It was disappointing because the drink was nothing like the one I've had several times at other Haraz locations. I hope this location places an emphasis on training and consistency so the drinks meet the same standard as the rest of the Haraz locations. On a positive note, the staff members were kind, welcoming, and greeted me as soon as I walked in.
