Backhouse Cafe' Coffee Tea

During our visit from out of town, we decided to try this restaurant. We were pleased with the quality of the coffee and found the girl who took our order to be very friendly. However, our experience was soured by the disrespectful behavior and unfriendly attitude of the female owner. We were extremely disappointed by the overall experience.

They lost a customer. The wife should not be in any form of customer service. She’s not good with people. It’s not my first bad experience with her, I’ve seen it to other customers, but it’s my first bad personally. The husband on the other hand, he’s well worth the trip if you do decide to go. But the backhand of the wife’s personality, more so lack there of, and her being snippy, it ruins it all.

While en route to my destination in Maryland, I decided to make a pit stop to explore the historic homes on 4th street. To my pleasant surprise, I stumbled upon a charming Cafe and Bakery that caught my eye. Housed in a century-old home, the cafe retained many of its original features such as fireplaces, woodwork, light switches, and bells. Though I only ordered an iced latte, I had a delightful conversation with the friendly owners, who shared the fascinating history of the house. The cafe offers ample seating indoors, as well as a shady porch where guests can relax and enjoy views of the garden. This hidden gem is a must-visit on my journey. Skip Starbucks and give this place a try, you won't regret it!

Great place for rich, strong and flavorful coffee in a very beautiful historic home. We met the owners. The husband is the main barista and we spoke to the wife who was a very kind and she told us the history of the home and her dream come true of owning a coffee shop in her home. The coffee was so good we got a pound of coffee beans. Great atmosphere with outdoor seating on the porch. The pastries looked delicious as well.

The atmosphere is maybe one of the best feature of this place, only second to the quality of the coffee. The cappuccino is to the level of those made in Italy, truly an excellent craft!
