Backyard Brew

As someone who loves exploring coffee shops everywhere I go, Backyard Brew instantly stood out — and it’s officially my go-to spot next time I’m in Charlotte. Whether you’re after a smooth, well-balanced espresso, something with a serious caffeine kick, or a beautifully crafted matcha, this place nails it.

Lovely spot. Chill atmosphere. Has a front porch, yard chairs, and little rooms throughout. Had raw mocha, completely free from sugar mocha with espresso base. Never seen it before. One of my favorite drinks I’ve had at a coffee shop. The workers were kind and accommodating, always asking how to improve.

We got the pour over and the desert rose latte. My hubby said thee pour over was okay but my desert rose latte was very good. Not too much rose and the spice level was just right. They asked me if I wanted sweet or lightly sweetened. I said light sweetened which made it perfect.

Hands down the best coffee shop in all of CLT. Not only is the coffee incredible, but the food and the service are top notch too. TK is genuinely one of the sweetest people you'll ever meet. Please don't miss out on Backyard Brew!
