Back Street Brews Coffee & Tea House — Restaurant in Lovettsville

I’d really love to give this place 5 stars because I’m soooo grateful Lovettsville has a coffee shop. But! Every time we go my family and I feel there’s a lot left to be desired. The house itself is super cute and the young kids who work there are usuallyyy very friendly. I just wish they’d offer a couple more craft or healthy options. What they have comes off a bit fast food than craft coffee shop (Torani syrups, bottled fruit purees for smoothies - so bad for you, microwaved premade / pre assembled food, no actually healthy or GF options). The vibe of the shop is a little cold, too.. I’d love to go do work there but the sitting area doesn’t fully hit the cozy coffee shop ambiance that they’re trying to do. It’s so close to being cozy it’s just missing the mark as-is. A bit dark and cold and cluttered. Maximalism is an art! A little more attention to detail and creativity would level this place up!! Maybe a couple homemade syrups, real fruit in the smoothies, fresh ingredients, training on correct craft barista skills, nitro cold brew, declutter the layout, warmer lighting in the back, funky art, etc, etc. Just a couple suggestions from a coffee shop snob / retired barista that wants to spend...

What a fantastic find Backstreet Brews is in Lovettsville! This place is a true hidden gem that absolutely exceeds all expectations. From the moment you step inside, you're wrapped in such a cozy and warm atmosphere.

The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, which just makes your visit even more delightful. I loved seeing how they support the local community, displaying artwork from local artists and showcasing their products—it really gives the place a unique and authentic touch.

The decor is a visual treat: an eclectic and tastefully done mix of antique and modern furniture that creates a truly special vibe. There are plenty of intimate spaces, perfect for relaxing and unwinding.

And the food... it's simply spectacular! I highly recommend making the trip with your partner to enjoy a delicious coffee with one of their vanilla and chocolate chip muffins. It's worth every minute of the drive!

This was a fun little find on our travels. While visitng family in Virginia, we took a little day trip to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. Along the way the traffic on the road we needed to turn on was at a dead stop. We suspected there was a wreck as the traffic had not moved at all for about 5 minutes. We decided to turn the opposite direction and find a café or coffee shop where we could stretch our legs and wait out out the traffic delay. Our google search and gps led us to Back Street Brews.

This is a great little coffee shop! They had a lot of different coffee options, iced and hot. I had an iced pistachio latte. It was delicious! They had a lot of bakery items as well. The staff was very friendly, and all of our coffee drinks were delicious.

The weather was actually pleasant enough (for a July afternoon) that we were able to sit in the outside seating area. They also have seating inside as well. As we sat outside drinking our coffee, we saw a lot of foot traffic (presumably locals) coming to get coffee to go.

If you're in the area, I recommend stopping by and grabbing a coffee and some...
