My significant other and I stopped by one morning while at the lake. Clyde made such an impression. He was warm-hearted and welcoming. The man also knows his way around lattes and breakfast. We go to the lake every year hoping to go see Clyde. Learning of the shop closing breaks our heart. What a great spot with a great guy!!
Thanks to Clyde for the great service and hospitality. We rented two kayaks from him and enjoyed a nice day on Lake Gaston. The kayaks were in good working order and the paddles were light. Clyde shared with us some suggestions on where to paddle and was prompt in picking us up. Hopefully next time we come, it will be post-Covid and we can hang out and have a coffee and enjoy his store.
Wonderful frappe, wonderful latte, and wonderful, friendly service! We were traveling from Richmond to Davidson and did a Google search for coffee on our route. We decided to stop at Backyard Birds based on reviews and are so happy we stopped. The Down and Dirty cookie and java chip frappe were favorites.
I'm so glad we stopped here on a long drive north for an affogato! This is such a cute little coffee shop with gifts and knick knacks for tourists or locals. Bought a bag of coffee beans to bring home! Def stop by if you can. A whole property of cool outdoor stuff 🐦
We searched for “coffee near me” on google, traveling south on I-85. What a wonderful find! Friendly people, a choice of non-dairy options for my latte, and something for everyone! You can sit in a cozy corner, play chess, warm up next to a fire on the porch. We will definitely be going back on future trips. Also, so happy to be at an independently owned coffee shop with warmth and character.
Absolutely lovely space, delicious drinks. Will definitely be back!
Great coffee! Nice local spot and I also got a yummy bag to go.
Eclectic and delightful place with great coffee. Gotta try the outdoor dining/cooking experience next time!
A tranquil setting with a wide array of delicious coffee and teas. Beyond appreciate that there is a local cafe that offers a variety of herbal teas and non- dairy options; hemp, almond, and other milks. And they serve Hershey’s ice cream! (I’m a fan, even though I don’t eat dairy) since Hershey is from PA and near my hometown. Clyde and Joel are gracious, friendly and knowledgeable hosts. This is also a place to purchase all you backyard birding supplies, chimes and VA peanuts! A must stop for what will prove to be an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. You’ll be sure to return!

Starbucks could learn from this Coffee Shop. Great coffee, but the aura of this place was unbelievable. Music, conversation, Windchimes. Awesome. Hard to see sign, but worth it. Very convenient...Just off Hwy 85 exit 4. East on 903 short distance. Just past Sunoco on Right.
Stumbled upon this fantastic coffee shop. Enjoyed fantastic coffee and homemade breakfast while sitting outside in a beautiful setting. Great service. Highly recommend!!
Just discovered Backyard Birds & Coffee just discovered backyard birds and coffee. A wonderful stop on the way up or down I 85. I love this place. It’s absolutely fantastic love the outdoor fire and especially the Hamic I could stay here all day for days. I’ll be stopping here every time I travel this way. What a find!
Home away from home. They serve fresh breakfast on Saturdays. Awesome experience
This was an adorable coffee shop off the beaten path! We were looking for some good coffee off i-85 and came across this place. Great espresso with a garden shop vibe. The owners were extremely friendly (and there was a tiny adorable pup!) Lovely to sit outside and sip your drink while watching the birds in the garden. If you’re looking for a way better experience than Dunkin Donuts just drive .2 miles down the road and come here.
Very kind staff and amazing atmosphere. Surprisingly a lot of pretty birds in their garden as well.
Had a great coffee here, was served by Luke, who made a great toasted marshmallow latte. Thanks Luke!
Nice stop off I85 southern Virginia. A great place to stop for coffee, snacks, food options as well. Several GF snacks!
Great espresso drinks and frappes with a nicely manicured garden.
Great place, relaxing music, great atmosphere with the birds singing and great coffee.
Amazing outdoor seating area. Picturesque. They put cold brew ice cubes in the cold brew to make sure the cold brew isn't diluted. Genius move!
