Backdrop Coffee

A great spot that has several amazing features, including roasting on-site and a roasting lab that shows and tells you about the roasts of coffee based on colors and sounds! And check out the coloring pad operated by a robot! And of course the cold brew is delightful. Toby is a genuine guy devoted to all things coffee for over 30 years!

We moved her from Austin and have become very particular regarding excellent coffee. I had done a google search about excellent coffee, and this place tops our list. Jaz, the manager, invited us to schedule a tour once we came to town, and she held her word and gave us an incredible time and remembered my asking in advance. We even had the opportunity to meet Toby, the owner, and were in Awe of his 30-plus years of experience in the business. The tour included experiencing coffee and the inclusivity of those who make it all come to life. This is not your everyday coffee experience; it's more like a spiritual journey of belonging and being proud to be a part of such a fantastic community. You will not be disappointed. Rest assured.

There is also a nice view of uptown as you sip your special cup of have around a fire pit outdoors.

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere is modern and clean, but cozy and comfortable too. I’m not sure if he was the owner, but there was a man around who greeted just about every customer who came in, and even came to check on us that everything was good. The pumpkin spice latte was great and I liked the pumpkin cream cheese bagel, nothing was too sweet or overpowering. Will definitely be back to work from here!

If you haven't been to Backdrop Coffee then you better grab your keys! This modern coffee shop has a gracious amount of seating and a menu that can satisfy even the pickiest of taste buds. I started with a cortado coffee w/vanilla (yes it had a cute heart heavy cream design), treated myself to a strawberry parfait then dove into a sweet waffle with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. Surprisingly the sugar wasn't overpowering and a harmony of flavors left me both impressed and satisfied. Can you believe it only cost me $14?!?! Definitely recommend! For those wondering parking was easy to access, orders are done at the counter and yes they do have cornhole just outside the building for a great experience!

Nice place! I took my car to the mechanity here near the airport and needed to take a shot of Cafe and use the bathroom. I searched here on Google Maps for cafe near me and found this site with 4.9 evaluation. Really deserves all these stars the location is awesome worth visiting, tryen the Avocado toast.

Vibes were good, coffee was great, food was delicious, but the kindness and hospitality of the workers are what make this 10/10. Had waffles (sourdough and pumpkin cream) and maple sugar lattes. I can’t wait to come back!!!

My husband and I love backdrop! I love the lattes and he’s a huge fan of the cold brew. All the food we’ve had has been fantastic, especially the sourdough waffle and avocado toast. The atmosphere is great and the staff is so friendly. Great addition to our neighborhood!!

If there was more stars to give, I would. This place is exceptional in every way. Location, decor, coffee, staff... and the owner Toby is one of the nicest, most friendly, genuine and knowledgable owners of a business I have ever witnessed. He knows his stuff! Goes out of his way to walk around, introduce himself to people and ask about them. He gives tours of his shop/facility and just exudes positive, friendly vibes every time I have been there! Best "coffee shop" I have been in hands down (and I have been in MANY).

A coffee shop that appreciates the coffee and atmosphere equally. Both are excellent. Both their espresso drinks and coffee drinks taste amazing. It's a coffee shop where you can truly enjoy a black cup of coffee, no need for anything added. Great place to work, read and/or chat. The staff is also amazing!

Hands down, best coffee in Charlotte. Flat white, iced latte, tonic espresso and drip coffee is fantastic. Always great signature and seasonal lattes. Great waffles & avocado toast! Amazing indoor and outdoor setup with a caring and personal staff. Easy and free parking on site makes it easy to book meetings here. My kids love going on Saturdays and the space outdoors is great to let them run around safely.
