Backyard Coffeehouse & Eatery

Heard good things, but this place was a rip off. The staff was friendly and nice, the flavor of the breakfast sandwich on everything bagel was pretty good (bacon was nice and crispy and fairly thick cut)... But that's about the best of it all. I've never seen such a small bagel sandwich for $9. Again, the taste was good (not great) and the value was terrible. I posted a picture of half of the sandwich next to a standard ketchup packet for size comparison. Laughable. My GF ordered a drop coffee which was alright and a plain bagel, egg, with hummus which also was fine flavor but again tiny bagel. Now the most disappointing part. I'm a big coffee drinker, I brew my own cold brew and nitro on a weekly basis and frequent coffee shops all over when I travel. They have Bard coffee here which I love and often get when out in Portland Maine. I asked if they had nitro and the staff seemingly didn't know what I was asking for, so I opted for a double iced Americano with lite ice so it'd be less watered down... The Americano was the most watered down I've had. It barely tasted anything more than murky colored water. I honestly thought they gave me the wrong item. I've had Americanos at Bard and they were great. Here, total disappointment. Overall I would not waste my time here. There are many other spots around that are slightly less popular and far better both in quality and value. Bums me out but I guess my expectations were a bit too high after hearing so many good things about this place. Now off to go get an actual real coffee to satisfy my need for a GOOD morning coffee.

Great little place for coffee, sandwiches, salads, baked goods & specialty drinks, just shy of the coast. We were greeted warmly and made to feel welcome and at ease, in spite of a rush that started just as we arrived. They went out of their way to make ours a delightfully relaxing and pleasant dining experience. The interior is casual and eclectic, but patio dining is the best choice in good weather. Staff members are responsive to questions about food allergies, sensitivities and ingredient sourcing -- and considerate of diners concerned about what's in their food. For an especially memorable visit, take a walk down the nearby foot path to the beach, and enjoy the extraordinary view while you finish your coffee!
