Hard to not buy a goodie (or 2 or 3....!) to accompany your coffee or tea! I drove out to Lovettsville for the first time ever to check out Willows Vintage Charm, a super cute antique vintage goods shop walking distance from BSB (highly recommend!). It was a Tuesday around 11AM and I was iso a morning cup o' joe and never interested in a nearest Sbux if I can at all help it - BINGO, Back Street Brews saved the day! Wish I had had time to sit and sip - the weather that morning was glorious. The little town of Lovettsvillle is SO cute, out in the country, simple and quiet, surrounded by mountains where time feels like it slows to half or quarter time. Lucky you, I'm jealous, if you live out there in God's country - truly! The shop has a cool outdoor seating area on the side and also in the (outside) front of the shop as well as inside, there's a back room with seating. Check out my pics. Prices are WAY reasonable, there's a wide variety of latte options including a seasonal drink menu and lots of syrup flavors. Service is exceptional and my drink (a hot cherry vanilla latte!) was delicious! Piping hot and bold (not wimpy weak!), just the way I like my coffee drinks! I couldn't resist picking up a few housemade baked goodies to take home with me - they looked too temptingly delicious there in the case not to. I was told they aren't baked there in-house but are made locally and brought in. Good enough for me to call fresh baked! They were delicious and beautifully individually wrapped in cellophane. I took a bunch of pics and a vid, including menu sign boards and prices - check 'em all out - you'll see what I mean by super cute, quaint and charming. If you're in Lovettsville or passing by, definitely stop in - SO WORTH IT!

The converted church space gives it real character, and the atmosphere is warm without trying too hard. The staff were friendly, quick to engage, and kept things moving even with a steady crowd. Bonus: live local musicians doing a pick up session! Food and coffee both landed well. Vegetarian friendly, fresh, balanced, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of spot where you can settle in for a quiet hour, meet someone for a casual lunch, or for C&O cyclists, refuel with a solid drink and good service.

I follow someone on Instagram who lives in Brunswick and has posted about this…read morespot before, so when I saw a sign for Brunswick while driving to Harpers Ferry, I KNEW I had to see Beans in the Belfry for myself... and I'm so glad I did. This spot is located in the "city center" of Brunswick. Parking is plentiful, and I got a spot a block up. I had a schedule to keep, so I just got an iced coffee to go, but I loved taking in the decor of the place. It was a sunny day and the light was streaming through the stained glass windows. There is a food menu and some baked goods, though I didn't get anything to eat. There are also cute little stickers, magnets, keychains etc. advertising the area and the C&O towpath that a lot of bikers like to ride. If I lived nearby, this would definitely be a regular place to meet up with friends. It's a really unique spot!

The concept is great but the shakes taste like sweet milk instead of what flavor you ordered. Service is a little slow and you don't actually talk to anyone that works there.

You can really taste the quality in their breads and pastries -- flaky, buttery croissants, perfectly balanced sweets, and savory options that are just as impressive. Nothing feels mass-produced; it all tastes thoughtfully crafted and homemade. They open early and close once they sell out, which says a lot about how popular they are. If you want the best selection, definitely plan to arrive right when they open. Be prepared for a long line -- but don't let that discourage you. The line moves fairly quickly, and the quality is 100% worth the wait. The staff is friendly and efficient, even during busy times. Overall, an amazing local bakery that lives up to the hype. I'll definitely be coming back again and again!

As a matcha lover, this place definitely satisfied a Wednesday evening matcha craving. I ordered…read morethe hojicha latte float with matcha soft serve, and the matcha flavor was rich, smooth, and on par with Matcha Maiko. I also loved the other ice cream flavor pairings you can choose. The monthly flavor was pistachio, love that! One note is that the hojicha latte at full sweetness was way too sweet for me, so I would recommend getting 50% sweetness instead. My friend ordered the hojicha float with pistachio soft serve and rice mochi, which was delicious and surprisingly filling enough to share. There is only one self-serve kiosk, but service was still fast despite how busy it was. Indoor seating is limited and fills quickly, but I loved the modern green and wood interior and all the natural sunlight.

The mango syrup added a nice fruity sweetness. The rice mochi was quite plain, chewy, and a bit too large. It didn't really hold onto the ice cream well. The only thing that was weird to me was texture of the ice cream, it was slightly grainy for some reason which is peculiar. I also felt it was a bit expensive for what it was. I've only tried their ice cream and haven't had a chance to try any of their drinks yet.

Getting afternoon tea together has become an annual holiday tradition with this friend (and some of our other friends), so it was great to continue this tradition at Mocatinas! The cafe is somewhat small, but they still have good seating in there. We made a reservation in advance for the tea experience, and I recommend that you do so if you plan to dine in for tea. They had not yet started their holiday-themed tea, but it was fine as they had some holiday decor (a pink Christmas tree!) already set up, so it felt festive in there. For the tea, we ordered the Strawberry Champagne Oolong. Though it has "champagne" in the name, this isn't alcoholic. It was a very sweet and delicious tea. We also ordered a pot of the Earl Grey Lavender, which was also very delicious! Our afternoon tea experience came with the traditional three-tiered tea stand, with macarons, tea sandwiches (cucumber, etc.), scones, butter, jam pastries, and petit fours. Our tea also came with a pre-course dish comprised of a small grilled cheese pastry and a small tomato soup. Everything was delicious! We had an excellent experience here. Service was friendly and efficient and very attentive. I will certainly visit again!
