It's a welcoming space and the little touches and attention to detail make it standout. I sat and did some work on my laptop and would have stayed longer if I could.

The woman running the counter was crushing it by herself. My only complaint was not enough food options (they only had breakfast sandwiches and I think they were out of turkey sausage. Although, it would be a lot of work to do food and coffee. The baked goods looked nice. Maybe they could team up with the Italian restaurant next door? Will have to come back for a latte again. It's kind of smaller inside than we expected, but we made it work. A little ambient music in the back was perfect, and not too loud! Got to sit by the coffee roaster. Maybe they could make better use of the space somehow?

There were lots of really positive reviews for this place so I was excited to get here…read more Pros: it's in a cool shopping area, is attached to Turning Point so you can get high protein breakfasts, there was plenty of space, lots of outlets. Cons: Service was a little slow and waiters from Turning Point came over to complain to the baristas about tables not tipping well (but not a huge deal), ambiance is a bit sterile. I wouldn't come out of my way to come here again but I appreciate that it was clean and the coffee was pretty good.

This is a very cool spot but it is very *teeny*. I went…read morehere during the week on an afternoon and they were unexpectedly closed. I then tried to go to their location in pipersville based off hours online - but they weren't accurate and were also closed. I tried again to come back to this location and finally got to check it out. The interior is very cool. There is not a lot of seating at all. One long table with some stools and one or two tiny two seater tables. There was on barista working and that was it. He was nice and answered my questions. I got the creamsicle iced latte - it was maybe 16 Oz for $8 . The coffee was very good - it had a decent drink to ice ratio. I didn't taste much of the flavor until I was almost done my drink and then it was very concentrated and overbearing and bitter. They used an oil and it was just very strong. Maybe I'll be back, I'm not sure - but just for convenience factor probably not. Cool if you can get a seat though as the inside is very earthy with lots of bonsai trees. I think they take their craft seriously - I should have just stuck to something plain without flavor. Their matcha might bring me back !

I just had to come out of Yelp retirement to write this review…read more We visited New Hope, PA for a few days and decided to hop into this coffee shop before heading home. The interior is very nice, with a lovely communal table, impressive bonsai trees, and bright lighting. But, I certainly would not include the cold and prickly barista as part of the nice vibes. It was early morning when we visited and this man seemed to don a perpetual frown on his face, coupled with an air of annoyance. There was not a single friendly exchange, and as a customer, you almost feel unwelcome in there. It's kind of strange when they don't want your business. I can let all that slide if my beverage was up to par, but, sadly, that was not the case. I paid an arm and a leg for mid-tier lattes that were barely above room temperature. The menu is quite interesting and I have no doubt they use quality ingredients, but even in an economy of heightened or runaway inflation, there is still no excuse for such an exorbitant upcharge, regardless of whether you use ceremonial grade matcha or provide cashew milk as an alternative to dairy. In no world should my two lattes cost over $20.00 unless you sprinkle them with edible gold dust. I'm used to paying a little for high-priced coffee and I see it all the time at the artisanal and hip coffee shops I visit at home in NY. Brooklyn alone has some of the most curated and vibey ones you could ever imagine, so I'm done batting an eyelash when it comes to such coffee shops. Shockingly though, Amsterdam Coffee Bar was even pricier than those spots! It made me suspect if some of that upcharge is to fund their obsession with bonsai trees (which in turn, they flip and sell here). I don't think I need to tell you that peddling bonsai plants and gemstones is a little on the tacky side. Another surprise is that this place is not even in the downtown area so high rent doesn't seem as though it would be a factor. I wouldn't say it's located in the sticks, but, it's certainly a bit more remote and not in a touristy or prime location. A hyper local coffee shop like this should not be charging as much as they do. It's a shame that the locals are being priced gauged all for "decent" coffee. Now I've read some of the snarky Google responses from the business owner and I'm sure he's got an obnoxious retort in the chamber to unleash on this review, but, no bother. I know that they care about customer feedback or else they would not have that Instagram follower counter hanging on their wall! To the locals and visitors here's a PSA; you don't need to go to Starbucks or run off to grab the coffee special at Wawa if you're looking for a respectable coffee shop. There are alternative spots where they respect you enough to appreciate your business and charge reasonable prices for their goods. I would highly recommend Native Cafe in Doylestown, PA (less than a 15 min drive from here), and that place was 100% fabulous. Expect immaculate vibes, service, coffee, and a delicious menu. You won't find bonsai trees or gemstones for sale there, but you'll get a warm and cozy Hygge atmosphere all for free and chances are high that they will even smile at you for your business.

Wanting…read moreto try out a local spot, I stopped by the downtown Lansdale location when passing through the area. There is a circular ordering area with a few high top seats and adjacent tables as you enter, with additional seating in the back. Interiors are a bit utilitarian and spartan for my tastes as I prefer a space that is more warm and welcoming. The exterior mural on the side of the building did give the place a bit more character. Many of the drinks only come in one 12 ounce size, so might not be the place if you prefer larger drinks. The mocha latte I ordered was a bit bitter and not excessively sweet, but otherwise strong. Service was a bit on the slow side, but they were experiencing a bit of a morning rush, so I won't hold it against them. While it's not a place I'd venture out of my way to visit again, Backyard Beans Coffee Company seems to be a solid coffee spot for locals and offer an ample menu of food items for those seeking something to eat.

Driving by simply delicious many times on York Rd. I have been curious. Today was the day curiosity finally killed the cat literally and figuratively. When you don't hear anyone talking about an establishment locally, that should tell you something - when I asked others about simply delicious. No one had even heard of it. Come to find out it's been an existence for quite some time. What is basically a glorified coffee shop simply delicious yarns to be a posh café/bakery. In reality it leaves a lot to be desired. From the moment we walked into the unfriendly faces. The semi tableservice, (order at counter and they bring it to you) the overpriced food, and the coffee/tea served in paper cups. This is definitely not a sit down place. More of a grab and go type of joint. The hungry man sandwich was served on brioche "toast" that was dry crumbling, and not at all sufficient to handle the weight of the sandwich. The sandwich itself was assembled haphazardly and lacked any real cohesion in both flavor and texture. The platter special consisted of French toast bacon sausage patties (house made) and eggs your way. Mine were scrambled and were decent enough. The bacon seemed high quality but could have cooked a bit longer. The house made sausage patties were overcooked and tough with more spice than I would have desired. The French toast was well soaked in the egg mixture and more than enough for a serving. Probably ranking high on the list of French toast I've had. However, I don't believe it is a staple of the menu. It was a special of the day. I would only really recommend simply delicious when the yearning for a good scone comes around. Either that if looking for a quiet place to sit and chat with an old friend over a scone and coffee - there isn't much of a crowd so it would be the perfect place to catch up. As for me, and he, not likely to return. Far too many other options locally, that have better ambience, food, prices, and most importantly people who are happy to see you and make you feel welcome.
