Sweet Treats
Not only do they serve a great cup of coffee, they sell gorgeous, botanical baked goods! Their cupcakes and cakes are beautifully decorated like succulents and floral arrangements and flavors range from Earl Grey to Matcha.
Community Love
Urban Backyard believes strongly in the power of community and uses their Instagram to show love to their regular customers by posting photos of them with the hashtag #humansofurbanbackyard. They also ask them to share other favorite neighborhood spots to highlight and promote local Nolita businesses under the hashtag #InTheKnowlita.
