What customers say

A cup of coffee is always enhanced by the atmosphere and the vibe around. Even more so when there is a pour over involved and a little roaster on site. Backyard brew is a unison of all this more and even the little alley to get to the counter fills you with such anticipation that you can not resist thinking that’s…

I asked Google to find coffee places near me and I found this place and decided to go only cause of the name and pictures of location. It was like finding a secret society meeting location!

Beautiful & serene place to hangout with yourself. And sometimes friends!! Wide selection of drinks. Some very novel choices. Pistachio baklava Latte was okay. It wasnt as sweet as the name but would not get it if you really want to have that kick from a coffee. Go for espresso drinks then.

Backyard Brews is a hidden gem in the alleys right off of California Ave. The road has been secured for al dente dining, so the road to get here IS somewhat closed to the public — however, DO NOT FEAR! This coffee shop is bustling and is quite outdoors like no other.
