What is this?

Backyard Barista is a map of neighbors who make coffee at home. Backyards, garages, kitchens, porches. When one of them feels like pouring, they open up.

Hosts list their setup and gear, put up rough hours, and flip an Open switch when they're pouring. Guests find what's open nearby, order ahead or grab curbside, and leave a review once they've been.

Money stays simple: most cafes run on donations (Venmo/Cash App links), some price their beans. The app never touches your money. If you start charging real prices, look into your local cottage-food rules and a business license.

Be a good neighbor. Hosts are responsible for their own space, their own compliance, and their own coffee.
