Backyard Beans is a locally owned coffee shop with several locations in the Philly suburbs. 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.

It's not a large space and they don't take reservations on the weekends, so you may need to wait for a table. The parking lot is a bit of a maze and fills up quickly so be prepared to park at the church or the car wash and walk over. Our group had the avocado toast, eggs Benedict, eggs 2 ways, and buttercup blossom. Everything was delicious, well prepared, and not an overwhelming portion. Egg dishes are served with a choice of breakfast potatoes, hash brown, or fruit. The bistro was crowded and service was a bit slow, but not disruptively so. Our waitress was kind and attentive, but very busy. Overall looking forward to going back and trying some of the sweet dishes! Food: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 4/5

I knew from the jump that you would deliver, and you did.

Funny staff who treated us like old friends, delectable sourdough... just amazing. I ended up in a conversation with a regular at the cash register who expressed surprise that we hadn't ever come before to the local gem. I shall now do my part to make sure others get to share in the joy of 'discovering' a truly delightful restaurant.
