Cute little urban coffee shop in Lynhurst. I hung out for a little bit and had a mocha, that's it…read morebut it was actually a perfect mocha. The ideal balance of sweetness, not overpowering the great coffee flavor. And they make their own syrups! I didn't know that was a thing. They are clearly popular in the neighborhood because they've always been very populated when I've been there. They have a display case with some bakery items but they are clearly hanging their hat on the coffee experience. Parking is actually kind of tricky, but that's the only real knock. That's city life, baby. My barista was working hard during my recent visit, but also maintained a cheery conversation with me so I just really like it here.

I didn't realize that Backstory opened up where Fiddlehead Coffee was a few years back. The…read morelocation is not far from the MOA nearby many apartment buildings. There is some street parking as well as some paid ramps. I came in on a Saturday morning around 10AM. By then, it was busy, but I was able to still find a seat. The staff were kind and I think as pleased with the number of drink options as well as pastries - gluten free, too! I enjoyed a seasonal lemon bar latte (yum!) and a gluten free banana chocolate chip muffin. I will likely be back. The coffee is great, the parking situation is just a bit weird.

It's funny how poor customer service completely changes your attitude towards a business you used…read moreto enjoy. I used to live in the area and when the small coffee shop opened I was so exited to have that in our community and was happy to support them - even if some coffee beverages were top dollar. I was in the area today, and decided to stop in since I no longer live in the area and wanted to enjoy a good brew. Unfortunately, the experience I had left me leaving with a bitter taste in my mouth - and it wasn't from the coffee. I thought it goes without saying, but when a customer greets you, you should greet them back, not just stare. It would be even better if your staff would greet each customer first - make them feel welcome. Maybe I'm a millennial channeling boomer energy, but for years I'm noticing the customer service disappearing from a lot of businesses. I love that connection, but I'm understanding that some people see only a paycheck and skid by with minimal customer service and that is the new way. I don't plan to visit this establishment again. I wish the barista with star tattoos would have put in enough customer service energy that she did with her impeccable makeup.

The foam and body worked great together, and it wasn't too sweet by Asian standards. The miso tired latte tasted more bland, and closer to a regular latte. The miso flavor could be stronger. Decor was geared toward nostalgia than anything else. Felt like a throw back to simpler times. Not sure if there's parking, it didn't look like any in the front. Within walking distance from a bus stop. The bakery across the street was excellent. Service was fast considering only 1 person was working. Cash App locals rewards, if you're into rewards.

It's the perfect place to chill, get some work done, or just sip on really good coffee. Not to mention the staff are always so friendly. I stopped in to check out their seasonal menu, but ended up ordering my usual Brown Sugar & Spice Latte and topped it with their new cheesecake cold foam. Total game changer, and you should seriously try it out. I also grabbed their new California-style breakfast burrito, and I'm really hoping it becomes a permanent item since the avocado takes it to another level. Maybe I am a bit biased, but Jones Coffee is always worth the stop. Great coffee, great vibes, great people.
