Our Story
Nestled on the vibrant Soto Street corridor, Backyard Cafe began as a simple dream: to create a space where community gathers, conversations flow, and every cup tells a story.
By day, our baristas craft specialty coffees from locally roasted beans. By night, our mixologists transform the space into an intimate cocktail lounge. The same warmth, two distinct experiences.
