I love everything about this coffee shop. It's a family owned and run business. Local artists work is displayed around the shop. When I was ordering I was handed a little yellow duck, that made my day. The coffee is amazing! read more

I absolutely love this tiny coffee shop. It is a small business owned and managed by the owners who moved from California and settled in Charlotte because they love it here. The service is great and the coffee is delicious. There is no seating indoors and only a couple of shaded seats ourdoors. There is free parking in the back. There are a few sandwich options in the menu, but this place is all about coffee drinks, including Turkish coffee. Overall, 100% recommended and can't wait to come back! read more

Such an amazing experience!! I got the iced Nutella mocha with whole milk and it was delicious! A good expresso flavor! I love that you can adjust the sweetness level to your preferred sweetness! I have never seen this before and I absolutely adore it! I got mine medium sweet and it was perfect! I can not say enough good things about the people who work here!! They are so sweet and make you feel like a regular, even when it was my first time!! The worker gave me a little duck, which was so cute! I just love the workers here! I also love the seating! There is a lot of outdoor seating with a little fire place and cute chairs!! I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

Excellent service!!! Great find over by all the Dilworth shopping. I loved the walk up window and how cute the front patio was. All the guys working made us feel very well taken care of - between describing how items were made and accommodating all our preferences. The menu has a bunch of creative offerings and they ensured that if we tried something and didn't love it, then they would help us find something we like better! They couldn't have been friendlier. I recommend the lavender syrup in the cold brew and my boyfriend liked his orange iced latte! Can't wait to come back and doodle on the walls more. read more

Wholesome and Refreshing! The coffee, the atmosphere, and the service make this place. It was my first visit and TJ was super friendly and explained everything is fresh, roasted and homemade. Many folks were ordering and just letting him know what they liked and he was very accommodating. Only got an americano this time but plan to pick up some fresh roasted beans and try a breakfast burrito next weekend minus the cilantro . They even make their breakfast burritos from scratch and fresh only on the weekends. Thanks for a welcoming visit and a few bonus ducks. I used to collect little ducks just like this. Next time I will stay a bit and enjoy the chairs on the front lawn or perhaps work on porch. read more

I dropped my coffee while walking my dog so I went back to purchase another and the woman at the front said it was on the house. I had all intentions of paying for a replacement but her kindness truly made my day. 10/10 recommend!! read more

I love this coffee shop! I just moved to Charlotte a couple of weeks ago and I've already been three times! What a gem in beautiful Dilworth, the gregarious gentleman at the order window is the first person working at a coffee shop that has made me WANT to tip in a long time. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. The coffee is fantastic, with so many delicious options and add ins available. Strong, smooth, delicious. They roast their beans in house at least once a week and have several levels of sweetness, and for someone that doesn't like sweet coffee, the light sweet is perfect! Today I got a Dubai chocolate croissant and OMG. Y'all. Get over there and give this gem of a small business your money, they are so worth it! read more

The worker that took our order was extremely friendly and welcoming! I tried their Banana Bread Latte that I heard about online, and it was really good. Most drinks/orders come with a little plastic duck which I loved. There was a line when we got there, and it moved pretty fast. Also, there was plenty of room to sit/hang while you waited. read more

I have never written a review before but this place truly deserves it. The owners/workers are very welcoming and personable. I spent the day lounging on my laptop and overheard many encounters. They make you feel like you're visiting a friend's house that you've known for years. The atmosphere is so fun and the outdoor area is great. Lastly, the coffee itself is delicious and they have a lot of unique options with mediterranean spices. The best part is you can customize exactly how sweet you want your latte. This is now my go-to spot. read more

The brew was served promptly, but the flavor leaned plain and lacked depth. The aroma was soft, pleasant but forgettable. The staff was polite, though the service felt routine. Overall, fine but not exciting. read more

They have the absolute best crafted coffees. Staff is entirely so sweet and engaging. And the atmosphere is just so mellow and inviting. Banana bread latte and their pistachio is my favorite read more

Place is in a nice atmosphere with nice outdoor seating some with sun, some shaded. The Dubai chocolate croissant was the best pastry I've ever had, it was filled with a crispy pistachio filling that was light and airy. Banana bread latte was really good and they were really nice and open about customizing the drink before AND after they had made it. We had them do this and they were happy to do so. read more

10/10 iced latte!!! Love that the large size comes with 4 shots of espresso so it turns out beautifully balanced, and not a cup of milk like a lot of places. Also customer service is great and the vibes are very welcoming read more

Loved this place. It's a house in a neighborhood with multiple rooms to sit and sip/eat. I had a coffee and a latte as well as their breakfast burrito. Not bad at all! I worked some using their free wifi. I highly recommend for a laid back, clean experience. read more

So glad we found this location! Their drinks are defaulted to not being very sweet, if sweet at all, which is a nice change from the norm. They were SO friendly and took the time to walk through their menu and make suggestions. Such a cozy, community, neighborhood feel! read more

OMG y'all, I low key want to keep this all to myself. My friend basically made me go here because she said it was so good and honestly -- it was better. I love how it's a family business and they use all natural ingredients (no synthetic flavoring)... but what really stood out was the energy. Ryan, the owner, is so authentic and caring. I'm usually someone who wants to be left alone but he chatted with me lightly and offered to let me try the pancakes which were sublime. Then I watched as he knew the next woman's order by memory and before another man walked up with his baby and dog he placed a dog treat on the counter . I was in a rush and this place made me forget. It felt like one of the most real interactions I've had with another human, food, and place in awhile. Needles to say, I'll be back and bringing friends. I can't wait to try the tea next! Strongly recommend the dessert rose latte. It's got lovely fall aromatic vibes. read more

Fantastic service, what a fun spot where you really have endless options to design your own drink with all natural, wholesome ingredients. The barista was super funny and they provide options for customization without up charging for everything which is great. They offer dairy-free milks, various extracts and roast their own coffee. Will definitely be back! read more

This place is family-owned. You'll often see brothers Ryan and TK running out to the cars to take orders and chat (shout out to uncle B who typically holds down the coffee truck). We've tried most of the coffee beverages. We like all of them. I think my favorite right now is the desert rose latte (cardamom love!) And my partner's favorite is the "oh Canada"(maple love!). The drinks are fantastic hot or cold. Don't expect syrups! The flavors are well developed and made with real ingredients. While you're there, grab some baklava or some palmiers and enjoy the sun! read more

I loved this place!! Randomly stopped by today and both brothers were working the front. They were delightful and helpful and very kind! I ordered two drinks - both were great. I didn't get to see if there was an inside seating area, but the outside was very cute! The coffee was delicious and fresh! read more

Great friendly service and interesting coffee drinks and non coffee options along with traditional offerings.

TK and everyone else is awesome! They remember you, always request feedback to make sure you like your drink, and are just so positive. The coffees are amazing and you can tell they really are passionate about their products and service. Our go to coffee stop! :) - Allison & Tristan read more

Love this little coffee shop, coffee is great, they will make your order to how sweet or not you like your coffee. The only downside is limited seating outside and parking. During busy hours parking is very hard but definitely worth stopping by! read more

Staying in town and found this cozy, comfortable spot right around the corner from us. We were greeted by one of the owners of this family business that is a house ( So cool). He was very nice and informative, oh and funny. The employees treated everyone with respect. Service was awesome! The coffee, and chai tea were perfect. Which went well with the delicious pistachio croissant and cinnamon roll. I recommend this place for sure. read more

TJ is the best barista in CLT. Great beverages, atmosphere, service. It's newly opened so some parts are still on the making.

Amazing service and good coffee! They allow dogs and have some food. Plenty of places to sit. Cheers

Cute shop built into a house. Extremely friendly owner and a nice spot to stop if you're walking/passing by. They have some food options as well if you're feeling peckish. The coffee had lost some of its aroma; so if you're extremely particular, like I am, it's the only reason it's not receiving 5*. Otherwise excellently produced product read more

I only just went yesterday and I'm obsessed! The nicest guys at the window. Gave me a lovely in-depth description of the tea I asked about. They went above and beyond to help me. The Maui Wowie black tea (guava & passionfruit I believe) and the pistachio croissant were perfect. Such a friendly, neighborhood place with nothing but good vibes. Go now for an instant mood boost. read more

Wonderful coffee knowledgeable baristas and delicious coffee. The Latte is my favorite coffee drink, and the Chai tea is delicious!

This was my first time trying Backyard Brew, and after living in Charlotte for the past 16 years, this has to be hands-down one of my favorite coffee shops out of the plethora Charlotte has to offer. Not only is the quality of coffee excellent, the selection of unique drinks is plentiful, and the owners are some of the most inviting people I've encountered. I am more than willing to drive the 45 minutes to get their coffee and support this fantastic small business. Ps. Try the Desert Rose latte; it is so well-balanced and delicious. :) read more
