Chennai’s first anti-café and its most resounding hello to a place that brings people, ideas, and the often-overlooked joy of their intersection together. Backyard is a space made for co-ideation, conversations, and simply… being.

​

Born from the need for a place where ideas didn’t need permission and people didn’t need to “order something,” Backyard has grown into a community home: for sketchers in corners, founders scribbling on napkins, teams rehearsing, dreamers drifting, and anyone seeking stillness, caffeine, and connection.

​

Unlimited coffee and tea? Yes.
Wi-Fi that behaves? Mostly yes.
A space that feels like a hug? Always.

​

Backyard isn’t a café or a coworking space - it’s a third place where people and ideas meet, linger, and spark. A home for storytelling, co-working, open-ended events, art, workshops, rehearsals, rentals, expression, solitude, and everything that grows gently in between.
