Backhouse Café Coffee & Tea

Such an amazing find! We got stranded in Williamsport due to bad weather, and found this little gem. Easily one of my favorite coffee shops I've been to on any of the 6 continents that I frequently travel. You will not regret a visit to the place! I only wish I had something like this local to where I live.

Also, their Christmas scones are the best scones I've ever had! Came back a second day to buy all of the remaining pieces they had baked that day for our trip home.

Great scones and quiche. Beautiful old mansion!! Had two friends with me who were hoping for a variety of tea. Coffee is definitely the star of the show and it was good. When you have great scones, you are going to attract tea drinkers, so Ibwould have given 5 stars for a wider variety (or better adverising?) of tea.

How did it take us 4 years to visit this place? My husband and I stopped by on a Saturday morning. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the owner is happy to tell the history of this beautiful house. The coffee was perfect. The only problem we had was whether to sit in the Cafe and admire the beautiful surroundings or sit on the porch and enjoy the weather. We will definitely be going back!

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 gentleman working there is as nice as can be. We’ve only been there twice but the first was enough to bring us back another time. The environment is calm, even when they have multiple orders to make. It’s definitely worth the go. Maybe even ask for a surprise drink, so they can pick out what they think is best for you to try, it never fails.

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!

Today was the first time ever been to your business. I really enjoyed the my experience. My hazelnut lattie was good. The atmosphere was great it was warm and cute. I loved the original architecture. The owner was very sweet.

Enroute to my destination in Maryland, I stopped to visit the historic homes on 4th street.
Much to my delight, I noticed this lovely Cafe and Bakery. I had to stop in!
Set up in a old century home, complete with many original charms such as fireplaces, woodwork, light switches and bells. I only ordered a iced latte, but spoke at length to the kind owners who explained the history of the house.
There is ample room inside, and a shady porch also, where you can sit and enjoy the garden views.
A "MUST STOP HERE" on my journey now.
Skip Starbucks! You'll be glad you did!

Picked out this little café to break up a day's drive from Philly to Rochester. It's a cute little establishment in the first floor of a large house. It was slow when I stopped by around noon on a Monday, but a few more people had tricked in by the time I left. Staff were friendly and helpful in answer questions on any drinks, and they offer a 10% student discount! Always a nice bonus. I got myself an almond milk latte and an almond croissant. Four stars rather than five only because I didn't love the non-flavored latte - that is, I prefer to take mine without any flavor shots, and I found that here the espresso was a bit off from what I'm used to. I'm sure I might have preferred it with flavoring, and for most people who want a good French vanilla latte, that's probably fine. I'd also love to go and try some of their pour over coffees next time; there were some interesting looking flavors listed when I went in. Lots of seating available, and I saw a chessboard in one of the side rooms. If I were a student in the area, I would see myself and my friends spending lots of time here.

It is such a splendid little coffee shop! I will definitely be back. The bake goods are delicious as are the drinks. The flavorings are actually from France! The baristas are friendly.
