Great little place in Ambler serving up delicious coffee and scrumptious breakfast options. The staff is friendly and helpful guiding you through your options to sit in house and drink from a mug or in a to-go cup. There are seats around the perimeter of the shop as well as at the coffee bar. There are also a couple booths towards the back. I ordered the West Main burrito with turkey sausage. Wow! it's special and way more than I could eat in one sitting. Definitely give it a try as it is loaded with so much flavor and goodness. read more

Space is huge and there's so much desks for anyone who wants to work here! The staff is very friendly and it looked like they had a some small bites. We ordered iced cappuccinos (not a lot of places make these) and it was pretty solid! Would love to come back and try other items. read more

It's a smallish coffee shop in the middle of Ambler with lots of goodies. The medium roast coffee is always good. I always peek at the pastries to see if there's a Kouign Amman, then contemplate whether I'm deserving. As a huge SEC fan, my go-to sandwich is the R5. They use the best ingredients - lightly toasted potato roll, slightly salty pork sausage, freshly fried egg and American cheese - a symphony for the morning soul. Counter service is usually quick and friendly. There's plenty of seating, but can get crowded on rainy days. Free refills for dine-in coffee - they have my "Best of Ambler" vote. read more

Amazing breakfast sandwiches with great coffee, yes please! First food item I tried here was a pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich. They load up the pork roll with at least two slabs of it and hot dam you can really cherish the sodium packed delicioso breakfast meat in this option. Later in the week I tried their Chicken salad in a Croissant, which came with fresh apples, nuts, and cranberries. This sandwich tasted magnificently light and yet filled you up with the nutrition packed yummy proteins spread inside the Croissant. Lastly, the dark roast coffee, this has a sweet biting taste to it, not overly dark. I splurged yesterday, and also tried the cappuccino, I am always hesitant to try cappuccino out as I have very high expectations. Luckily, the cappuccino was outstanding here. A little more pricey than the drip coffee but it doesn't let you down when you feel like mixing up your daily caffeine routine. I do not see any competition for my coffee business monies to be spent anywhere else in the borough of Ambler. I plan on reviewing many more restaurants in the borough of Ambler, if it interests you to stay abreast to the cuisines offered in Ambler, feel free to follow me on my journey. As always people SYOY!!! read more

Nice place. Solid espresso coffee. Foods looked good but your correspondent had no opportunity to sample them.

Such a great place. Small menu but everything is fresh and delicious. I got the R5 with pesto mayo and turkey sausage. My son got the chicken salad which had too many nuts for him. My in laws loved their egg, cheese and bacon. They said the roll was so fresh. My husband had the burrito. The best part was the cold brew dark roast. I had two of them (discount for bringing my own cup) and purchased the cans to go since I am staying in a hotel. Guaranteed yummy coffee for the rest of the trip. Score! read more

Love this adorable local coffee shop! I am doing a show at a theater a few blocks away and this has become a go-to for me and my cast. The service is always fast, there are a good amount of seating options, and everything I tried is delish! It is a great spot to grab a coffee, bring your laptop, and get some work done. I had the iced latte and avocado ricotta toast at my most recent visit. The latte was great as always. I LOVE their avocado ricotta toast! The olive oil and red pepper flakes are a nice addition and it is beautifully presented. I would get this again and again! read more

I've been wanting to try backyard beans for awhile after buying their bagged coffee and seeing them at the lansdale farmers market. I finally got the chance to visit and I was very impressed with my coffee ! I got the pumpkin cold brew and was just expecting flavored cold brew but it was so much better ! It was pumpkin flavored, with a cream foam on top and caramel ! Honestly so heavenly. I wish there was a little less Ice or a bigger drink because I just wanted more ! Their menu is pretty minimal and they do have food offerings as well which I'll have to try next time! The cafe is very minimalistic and they do have a to go fridge and some merch for sale as well! I'll have to also check out the lansdale location! read more

The coffee is great (cortado especially excellent) but they may as well just officially close for anything except take out orders after 3 pm given how much the staff clearly wants you to leave. I know they close at 4 and am always out beforehand, but don't appreciate the "nudges" like no longer serving drinks in real cups after 2 pm, aggressive floor sweeping at 3 pm, and then coming up to every patron after 3:30 to let the know the shop is "closing in 20 minutes." Every day, every time, even if I've been here 3 days in a row (and obviously left before 4). Last time I meant to get an iced coffee to go and leave at 3:45ish, but this kind of thing makes me feel so unwelcome (and my business unwanted) that I just packed up and left. read more

Good ambiance and solid coffee drink. Friendly staff and a great location in Ambler.

Great latte. Their bacon, egg and cheese sandwich is the bomb. Really delicious. Not for those watching their calories.

Perfect. Cozy spot, delicious coffee, yummy pastries and tasty food. Oh, and the service matches the space... warm, personal, attentive.

The person behind the counter was very short with me and then talked about me to her coworker right in front of me. It was very rude and uncalled for as I was very kind in speaking to them. Then we ordered our food to EAT IN and the food counter person called a name and put a bag out. I didn't hear the name. After 15 minutes of waiting I went up and said "is this for (our name)" and she said yes and walked away. They could have called it again. And we didn't order it to go. I used to own a cafe and was very successful. I would never let my employees treat customers like that. It's funny how fast you can lose a customer and spread bad word about a business. Maybe some social training is in need for your workers. read more

Great coffee and ambiance. The five stars is awarded for a scrumptious taylor pork roll and egg sandwich. Friendly efficient service on a Sunday morning. The canned iced coffee was excellent as well. The breakfast burrito was a bit of a disappointment though, merely average. read more

Our first roastery trip of the new year and backyard beans was a good choice. We ordered a mocha latte and a regular latte, both with oat milk. Both were creamy and the mocha wasn't too sweet, which is the usual deterrent from ordering a mocha. The salmon avocado toast was very reasonably priced at $8, but it tasted a tad fishy. Our beans, once we got the right grind setting were almost sweet, it was really nice coffee experience--makes you want seconds. read more

I have been to Backyard many times and never get tired of visiting this place. As others have said, it is definitely a millennial/bougie place but you cannot beat their coffee. I love that this place exists right on Butler. Their sandwiches (breakfast and lunch) are all great and well thought out - more than just your standard B.E.C. We only stopped in for coffee and tea today but the couple after us got two cappuccino "for here" that were both finished really nicely. They have an awesome plant wall that has over a hundred living plants on the wall. They also have awesome decor inside. PRO TIP: Grab a bag of their beans while you are in the shop. They typically have a bigger selection that what you can find in Whole Foods. If you are in the area and looking for a quick bite from a local spot, this is your place. They make all of their food to order but always have some great baked goodies on the counter. If you can deal with "millennial" vibes of this place, definitely check it out! read more

Seasonal coffees are great, so are their take home grounds. Nice quiet coffee shop, lots of people hanging out on a cold winters day. Desserts were tasty too! read more

Menu options and seating are both very limited, but what they do have is excellent! Very fast and friendly service as well.

I ordered a latte and a shore point sandwich. The latte was nice and strong and the sandwich was perfectly savory. Service is very fast and friendly . I ate it before I was able to take a picture but my son had the matcha latte and was very impressed with his BLT . read more

Cute place. Quick service, but a bit curt. My friend ordered something and made adjustments to it, and the staff made a point of telling us what a problem it is to order something with changes, even though there are additions listed on the menu. But the coffee was good and the food tasty. read more

Very good food and coffee. Friendly service although maybe could have explained the menu items better (maybe that is what's behind the other customer's review mentioning 'unfriendly' service?). It costs a little more than some other places but I think that is just because of the quality and "slow food" nature of this. Good place to buy fresh ground coffee and they have a few other small gifts for the coffee lover at your house. Bright/well lit and pleasant atmosphere. I wish there was more parking a bit closer but it's downtown Ambler, so... read more

Love their coffee. Nicely remodeled store. Good wifi. Will def go back soon! Next time will try some food too.

Amazing spot that Ambler has needed for years! Finally a local coffee shop and cafe! Bear hug latte- I get this latte less sweet and it is perfect. Super high quality coffee and perfect balance of flavors. Pumpkin Spice Latte- not too sweet and such a yummy fall treat. Pork Roll- so good!!! Amazing balance of flavors and textures. A satisfying warm bite that pairs perfectly with their coffee. The goat cheese, arugula, caramelized onion, tender pork combo on a sweet potato bun is to die for. BLT- as a former BLT hater this sandwich has shown me the other side. So flavorful! And the homemade Mayo pesto is just insane! Such an amazing spot! I highly recommend!!! read more

The workers were super friendly! My London fog was tasty. They didn't add any sugar to it so I added my own, but I actually appreciate that because it's not fun when it's overly sweet. The sticky bun I had was heavenly. Someone put their heart and soul into making that thing. So sweet and buttery and flavorful. Atmosphere was also cute. Not overly busy, good for working. Place is kinda small, but I was thankful for an open seat. Very clean and welcoming. I would recommend! read more

My husband works nearby and frequents this coffee shop often. He brought me here after a work holiday event as he highly recommends it. My cousins also recommend buying their cold brew. We got the gingerbread latte because tis the season! There is a decent amount of seating, mostly bar area with a couple of booths. I checked in on the app as a first time customer and was happy to see a 10% offer however the cashier/barista did not accept it. She said she isn't aware of any deals. It would be nice for future Yelpers to have the offer honored so I hope they realize the deal in the app. read more

Looking for a cafe work spot! Here it is! Chill and the staff is super nice! The staff went out of his way to find change for me out is 20 to get 2 dollars of quarters! I didn't get a chance to eat the food, but definitely will next time! read more

Stopped in while passing by, and glad we did! Hubby tried the seasonal special Spiced Honey Latte which was great. I had the seasonal special Caramel Cold Brew, which was also very good. We shared a peach oat bar which was really sweet but a very nice treat with our coffee. Definitely plan on swinging by again . read more

I am so disappointed to feel the need to post a negative review for backyard beans because I have been eating the same west main burrito here every week. This morning I attempted to place an order online and the system was not allowing the order to go through. When I called to explain there was a problem and could I order over the phone, the gentleman said "no, we only take orders online". "Ok, so then you'd rather not have my business?" "No. We only take orders on the website". It saddens me that we've come to a time where many restaurants (not just this one), would rather turn away your business than make a slight accommodation even when the error could easily be on their end. Many people cannot take a second to see what makes sense in a certain situation and basic customer service is out the window. Sad to say, you lost a loyal customer. read more

Ambler has been in the market for a really good coffee shop and Backyard Beans snapped up a cozy spot. Situated on Butler, the cafe has a lot of natural light flowing through the space. There are two separate bar areas with socially distanced seating. They offer unique seasonal flavors (spicy cardamom, anyone?) as well as nitrogen infused cold brew (my go-to with lavender syrup). They offer food, too but I haven't tried anything at this time. Their staff was friendly and helpful. And while I'm not sure if this was intentional, there's a totally Instagramable wall of plants along the left wall that I've not quite had the courage to snap a selfie in front of. Recommend like a pair of microfleece plush socks during the winter. read more

Yay to another coffee shop in Ambler! It's nice that they allow you to order in advance online for pick up. I've only tried their vanilla latte and it is smooth and delish. They have a variety of coffees and teas to try. The stocking stuffer sized coffee is so cute and perfect for a small gift. The inside of the cafe is so clean simple and spacious. I can't wait to hang out here for a coffee date once this pandemic calms down. Tip: They have good offers when you sign up and receive texts. read more

Such nice staff and everything I ordered was amazing! I got an iced oat milk latte, and it was honestly one of the best lattes I've had in a long time. I also got the ricotta and avocado toast which was a bit pricey but worth it! Also, this place has a homey feel and was pretty busy for a Tuesday morning! read more

Perfect quick breakfast! Backyard Beans boasts a delicious array of reasonably priced, made-to-order food items with tasty ingredients like raw milk cheese, everything bagel seasoning, and bacon - the holy trinity. The drink menu has something for everyone, including seasonal flavored lattes to mix up your morning routine. I opted for a turkey sausage, egg, and gouda breakfast sandwich with a sweet cream foam cold brew. The coffee was definitely sweet - sweeter than I anticipated - but I'm not complaining. I needed the extra sugar after my workout. The sandwich was hot, delicious, and super filling - I wasn't hungry for hours after stopping here. I'd be keen to come back and try more food items - they're simple but delicious. The drinks were great, too. I plan to stop in when I run out of coffee, as they sell their beans on site. Staff was friendly enough, service was quick. There was plenty of seating when I popped in, and if I lived closer, I'd camp out here for remote work. Free street parking on Sundays out front! Clean, tasty, fresh, great value, llamas - what more could you want? read more
