"I found this spot during my morning run & it was such a sweet little surprise! Cute coffee shops are my love language & Backstory fit the bill. ✨🌅 As a person living in NYC, spacious and open coffee shops are always a breath of fresh air. 😌🌸 They have an adorable interior & exterior with an abundance of seating. I ordered an iced cortado with a bit of extra oat milk. ☕️ My coffee is delicious & I can hear the birds chirping as I enjoy their outdoor seating area. ☀️ It’s also a great spot to watch the planes go by!"

"Honestly, I would not return to Backstory again. The coffee was ok - nothing special or memorable. I had the lemon bar oatmeal because the hot sandwiches were premade - unable to customize. The oatmeal was good but the way it was served to find in was off putting. There's not a ton of seating during the winter months. The atmosphere is cute beyond lack of space."

"Chill atmosphere not loud. Near by parking and train to the mall or to the airport. Drinks made fresh to order , I had the dreamy herbal tea blend with simple syrup very light and refreshing! Iced vanilla latte was about $6 something after tax! One size for iced."

"The coffee and tea was amazing. The service was lack luster. Not clean. Tables were sticky. And the coffee cup literally started to just fall apart . Very cute area. Nice patio ."

"The coffee here is excellent. If you just need a great cup of coffee look no further. I ordered a cup and went outside to enjoy my coffee and the fresh breeze. I paid 7 dollars for an excellent oatmilk latte with 4 shots."
