Urban Backyard is a cozy spot offering a delightful array of beautifully crafted treats and beverages. Their cupcakes, in unique flavors like ube, vanilla, pumpkin spice, and earl grey tea, are a must-try, with some gluten-free and vegan options available. The Ube Latte is a standout drink, known for its perfect balance of sweetness and espresso flavor. The menu may be small, but every item shines, including their loaves with exotic flavor combinations like peach cardamom tea loaf, which is fragrant and not overly sweet. Visitors can also enjoy sandwiches, like the everything bagel with cream cheese, tomatoes, and cucumber, and the maple bacon bun, which is doughy and soft, filled with crispy bacon, egg, and cheese.
The natural décor, plenty of greenery, rustic wood accents, and soft lighting create an inviting atmosphere, even on busy days. The baked goods, especially the whimsical cupcakes and banana bread, are delightful in taste and presentation. Service is laid-back yet genuinely attentive; staff not only recommend favorites but also engage with customers on a meaningful level, which is rare and appreciated. Thoughtful touches like sustainable packaging and eco-friendly practices reflect their care for community and environment. Urban Backyard feels like a quiet retreat where people can work, read, or catch up with friends and always feel at home. Unique, welcoming, and memorable, it’s the kind of café visitors will want to return to whenever they need a peaceful break. The drinks menu appeals to both adventurous and classic coffee drinkers, with options like matcha latte with honey and oat iced latte, which has a good amount of milk, making it enjoyable.
