Becca's Backwoods Bean Coffee Shop

THE RESTAURANT'S NAME SNAGGED ME. We driving on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and at 11:30, we diverted to the mountain town of Sparta to get some lunch. When I spotted the "Backward Bean Cafe" on Main Street, I said, "Let's give it a try." We had homemade chicken salad which was absolutely awesome, served on a warm croissant, with a side of melon slices. The cafe has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. When we returned to our car, I pinned the location in my GPS, 'cuz we're coming back again on our next trip!

Not my favorite. I waited too long to get helped and there was only one person in front of me! I was just passing through this town as I took a wrong turn and needed some coffee. Sadly I could have gotten a better cup at a Sheetz and paid far less and not waited 21 minutes! Should have just walked out! :(

The food and coffee are good, but this is some of the most un friendly people. Being local, my wife comes here all the time but the employees ruin it for me.

Very nice and talkative to the southern people before and after me. Rude attitude towards me since I clearly wasn’t from the south. If you are not from this area don’t come here. The drink was also not very good. Tasted like water

Quaint little coffee place with bottled wine and local art. Nicely decorated cool space. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but the only person that seemed remotely happy we were there was the person cooking that morning.

Delicious homemade food in a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend!

I was in Sparta for the first time and there on business. A wonderful family I was staying with through AirBnB recommended Becca’s. Best cappuccino I’ve had...really. Fresh pumpkin bread yummied-up the whole morning!

Incredible breakfast and truly a family operation.

Coffee was great once it was steamed to a reasonable temperature. Dessert offerings are pretty good. Casual and friendly.

Artisan pizza and homemade desserts are fabulous! Every week's pizza selections are inventively delicious and my choice tonight was goat cheese, mushrooms, onions. Friends enjoyed strawberries and brie pizza.
