The coffees were and good and the selection of breakfast sandwiches were great! We had a everything bagel and a "papa bear" sandwich! Tasty place! read more

Great coffe! Love it here! I would recommend this to anyone in area . Also nice selection of desserts

Good selection, good coffee, not worth the price tag. Very relaxed atmosphere however the staff is very loud yelling orders & names. Outside seating area to is nice to enjoy with your coffee loving buddies or your leashed pup! Staff is overall attentive & kept the area clean as tables flip very frequently. read more

This place is the bomb! Everyone is always so nice. The coffee is delicious. I always get a different pastry every time I go in and never disappointed! and parking is available as well! read more

Ok, actually very good coffee! Had triple shot latte. Nice ratio of foam milk n coffee. Coffee had hint of back flavor but not so much that u would identify it as just another hipster coffee blend that screams of whatever flavor Twitter is trending. Well done! read more

Nice coffee shop and more. Large selection of coffee, tea and other beverages including mimosas. Breakfast sandwiches are cooked to order and delicious. Bagels, muffins and other bakery items prepared onsite. read more

Backyard Coffeehouse & Eatery - Hot brewed coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

This place really hit the spot on our day in Ogunquit. We arrived after driving from Portland hungry and un-caffeinated and walked down from our parking across town. Their little shop was busy but not overwhelming, and service was prompt and accurate. Counter order, which we love. They have lots of options for lunch, including numerous vegetarian choices, and all your standard coffee options. We got large iced coffees (which were quite good) and caprese paninis. Everything was ready quickly and very fresh and delicious. We sat in their small dining room and had a great meal. Prices were reasonable too. The perfect pitstop. read more

Who ever does the ordering really should lose their job. They always run out of basically everything. Very annoying read more

Great coffee and sandwiches. A little pricey, but what high end coffee place isn't. Repeat customer.

Always one of my favorites in Ogunquit. Very honest, yummy food. Great staff and owner. I'm a local and I send many people here when asked. Specifically I love the sandwiches and salads and when they make gazpacho, yum yum. Great coffee and pastries too. read more

Weak, flavorless coffee. Hot chocolate was worse. Blueberry muffins were average to good. Flourless cookie was a nice option, but also pretty average. Would definitely try elsewhere. read more

Great tasting espresso. Got an almond milk latte and could actually taste the espresso. Quite good! The breakfast offerings looked great, too. Sandwiches, yogurt parfaits, bagels, and lots of spreads to pick from: cream cheese, jams, peanut butter, hummus. Very hipster and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Hipster coffee in Ogunquit? Not sure what this world is coming to but I think I like it. Backyard Coffeehouse has a pretty cool atmosphere with a large inside with lots of seating and outdoor seating as well. It's located right near the center of town but not along the main street so it's a little more calm away from the shopping and eating frenzy that is Shore Road and Route 1. The coffee is quality with pour-overs and espresso based drinks. Haven't tried the food (yet) but it looks very good. Service is solid as well. All in all a great spot for some much-needed caffeination. read more

My daughter and I went twice, with a 6 mo & 20 mo olds. Good for toddlers. Cold brew was excellent., Cheese and Chive biscuit was savory and wonderful. Blue Berry muffin and cream cheese bagel were good. We will definitely come back again!!! read more

What a great spot in Ogunquit. It's tucked away next to the Cumberland Farms off of Main Street, but you can get to it from Shore Road as well through the Muni lot. As a Mama to a 7 month old, I need my coffee. This place serves it up just right! I enjoyed their cold brews, lattes, and their food as well. This place is stroller and pet friendly. Lots of things for baby to look at and there are some books in the back to entertain your kiddo. They even have a little patio outside in case your babe is a screamer (like mine) and needs some fresh air. Service was fast and efficient. I liked how the lady behind the register remembered my kiddo from the day before. The playlist was sweet and their bathrooms are clean. We will definitely be back! read more

Sam M. wrote "I don't yet know if the staff has the chops to make great espresso drinks." Well, they do now! We were in Ogunquit for a short family vacate from LA to visit relatives and found Amy's place by chance as we snooped around town looking for maybe a juice bar (nope) and maybe some good coffee (yep! -- right here!!). The building is hers, so she can do with it what she wants, and over time they will be making improvements, etc. She might even build up and put in an office for herself 'upstairs'... But, the coffee (specifically the two caps I had on two consecutive days) were astonishingly good. Amy made mine on a Tuesday, and it was SUPERB (and even beautiful to look at -- I almost didn't want to drink it, the design was so pretty), so we stopped back in the next morning on a rainy Wednesday morning as we headed out of town. I was worried because Amy did not make my cap that time -- she was busy with office work at the counter (!!) -- so her cohort with the lavender hair made mine this time... And again, it was SUPERB! So good. My wife really enjoyed her decaf as well, and my boys loved their hot chos and crumbly tidbits to eat. The Backyard serves the kind of coffee Starbucks only wishes they could create. Seriously -- Amy and crew know what they are doing. The room is wide open and airy, so not particularly intimate, but as a result it also makes for a good gallery setting, and the current show by artist Asia Kepka is interesting and evocative (see:http://www.asiakepka.com/). Amy allowed me to wander around and shoot some pics, which I have posted here. What a great place for this little town. Now, they just need a juice bar... read more

Cappuccino, was good. However the breakfast sandwiches missed the mark. Everything bagel lacked salt, the eggs were pre-made and the cheese was not melted. I would go here again for coffee only, but would not get food. It was super busy, but egg and cheese on a bagel with a fried egg should be made to order so it's not cold and dry. read more

Before ordering I asked if the bagels were New York style and the girl at the register didn't know (and didn't ask anyone to find out). I took a chance and ordered a toasted bagel and cream cheese. The bagel was burnt and they forgot the cream cheese. My husbands hummus bagel sandwich had no flavor and when he asked for onions on the sandwich they said they can only add them to the side NOT on the sandwich! No clue why. I'm sure other things on the menu are tastier. Unfortunately this wasn't our experience. read more

Terrible customer service! We had to return to the order window 3 times; they still screwed up our order, no apology. Won't go there again. I did not receive free multiple coffees, I returned the incorrect orders. I don't use Covid as an excuse for bad service! read more

There is nothing unique about this breakfast stop. The food quality is mediocre and the prices are too high for the quality. If you're looking for a quick way to blow $7+ on a less than Dunkin Donuts quality breakfast sandwich (and smaller), this is your place. I gave it two stars because the food didn't taste bad, but it wasn't good either. This was our second attempt in the last year and it reminded us why we go elsewhere while we're in the area. read more

If you want an excellent sandwich this is the place to go! I had a tuna sandwich which was Huge. I couldn't eat it all. Service was excellent. Especially grateful they made sure all their staff was vaccinated. My husband had a chicken salad sandwich it too was excellent! read more

Tucked away behind a Gas station this place you might just miss and drive on by. You can order online or at the counter. Food and drinks came out quick. Not a huge selection, but prices are reasonable. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, bagel with cream cheese, Smooth Criminal and a apple juice. Not a ton of flavor, but still good. Outside seating is very cute and trendy. Definitely worth the 5 min walk from our hotel. read more

Backyard Coffeehouse & Eatery - Building - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

A cute spot that could be missed if not for yelp. It's spacious with outdoor seating a good amount of choices of coffee. You can't really go wrong with this choice...looks and vibe wise. The coffee however was only average. I was hoping for something more substantial mostly because the look and feel of the spot is nicely put together. I would come back, but I woudn't make it my new go to option. read more

Visiting from California. Coffee was probably the worst coffee I've ever had. Tasted old, burnt and bitter. When I dumped it out there were coffee grounds. Just horrible. We walked to Bread & Roses for a superior cup of coffee read more

Eeeewwww. Did we just get a bad cook? It's end of the summer and the hours will change for September when the majority of the staff go back to school. Did the chef already take off and is there a monkey in the kitchen? From the tasteless milk infused egg and burnt bacon sandwiches, to some weird granulated sugar covered oversized flavorless donut hole, and a very bland rock hard chocolate chip muffin; did we just get the left over from the weekend before? Did someone barely pass home economics? Did they skimp on ingredients or forget them completely? I am so confused and I do not understand how this place is getting any stars. read more

Watch out! They automatically charge you an 18% tip at the register for take out! Shame on them!!!

Passing through Ogunquit and stopped here for lattes and scones. Hot lattes were delicious (albeit not overly strong--which can be good or bad depending on your preference). Husband and I the cherry lemon scone and vegan blueberry scones. Both were delicious! Blueberry scone wasn't very sweet but very "buttery" (not sure what they used as a sub but i couldn't tell the difference I didn't know). Cherry lemon scone was a good mix of sweet and tangy! Both were crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside--not dry at all! Overall would definitely recommend! read more

Great local coffee shop. Great baked goods and solid coffee choices, latte, cappuccino and American as well as tea. My favorite is the Vietnamese coffee read more

Great place, set back off the road. Friendly staff, fast service. I had a latte and the most delicious maple oat scone I've ever had. Friend had regular brewed and a bagel. Coffees were very good & we were both happy & satisfied. read more

Delish!!! We loved the vibe and the food. Fried egg & cheese sandwiches on yummy brioche were cooked enough to make it feel more like scrambled...so it wasn't runny, a big plus in our book. The avocado toast was pretty enough to take pictures of and equally delicious. The blueberry muffin was SO good too. And so was the coffee. Highly recommend & we'll definitely be back. read more

Great place to go for coffee, matcha lattes and light fare.

What a great little coffeehouse and breakfast stop. Nothing was too expensive, quality of food was great, and the coffee was strong. My cappuccino was pretty but a little on the bitter side. I'd suggest getting the blueberry muffin, it was damn good. read more

My daughter LOVES chocolate croissants and swears that Backyard has by far the BEST ever! Coffee is good, pricey. Great location in the summer months. Food options are good. We typically just go for the chocolate croissants ! read more

Great coffee and baked goods. Smooth Criminal is a must. Breakfast sandwiches are good but a little pricey.

Get the blueberry scone!!! So beyond delicious. Don't get the yogurt parfait though- the serving size and taste were underwhelming. The yogurt had almost a whipped cream taste/texture and the blueberries were tasteless. Coffee was perfectly bold and dark for my dad, bagel with cream cheese was good. read more

Our go-to stop for a delicious beach lunch! I don't usually eat sandwiches except from here! Great services, too!

Just stopped in for an iced coffee to cool off. It looked too cute from the outside to pass up. Loved the artwork inside and the barn feel. Looks like they made their own chairs out of old plywood - surprisingly comfortable! Close enough to the beach & downtown to be convenient, but far enough away to be relaxing. Noticed they have 30 minute parking outside. +Glad they had almond milk and cinnamon to liven up my drink! read more

Backyard Coffeehouse & Eatery - Agreed! Words to live by :) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Ogunquit, Maine

A must every time I'm in the Wells/Ogunquit area. Don't miss their scones - the Blueberry and the Lemon Cherry are my favorites. Great online ordering system with COVID, and food is always ready within a few minutes. read more

I'm not a fan of crowded tourist destinations. Waiting in long lines, crowded sidewalks, the noise and congestion, I might as well just stay home. My other option is to go out of season. Ogunquit Maine is a good example. I love it there but only when it's quiet, and I'm not fighting for breathing space, the problem is many restaurants and business are closed during the off-season as is Backyard Coffeehouse and Eatery. This place is one of the best coffee shops I've been to in a long time. They do everything right, from the rustic charm of the business to the friendly customer service, and fantastic coffees, pastries, and food. My first morning in Ogunquit found me there with a latte and pastry. The coffee was not over-roasted (i.e., not bitter) and the pastry was out of this world. It was deliciously sweet and chewy and made every bite a memorable one. I was so impressed with Backyard I went back for lunch the same day. Their lemon ginger iced tea was spicy and tart and sweet all at the same time and paired perfectly with their Village Green Salad consisting of spring mix, avocado, feta cheese, candied pecans and a honey mustard dressing. My only complaint, if I had to make one, is that they are not open year around. I get it. I do, but it doesn't make me happy as the next time I'm in town they won't be open, and frankly there is no other place in Ogunquit to get a good cup of coffee and pastry. And yes I know there is another place down the road...well, that's for another blog. If you're in Ogunquit or even just passing through, stop by Backyard, it's worth it. Trust this little doggy, I know my coffee. With love from my dog bowl to yours...happy eating. Shata read more

Really liked this place! Super friendly. Yummy bagels and scones. Good coffee to boot. Cute place off the main strip. Give it a try if in the area. read more
