Backdoor Cafe in Sitka

Some of the best pies I have ever had.

This is a great place that places you with the natives of Sitka. I was even able to observe a group there to get the vote out for an upcoming local election. Everything here is prepared the same day. Once the food is gone, it's gone. Get there early for lunch.

Great classic coffee shop with very good coffee and very tasty pastries. Opens at 6:30 AM as well.

Love the service everyone is nice and the food and drinks are incredible

Great spot for coffee and a yummy treat.

Love this coffee shop in the back of the bookstore. Fresh and homemade treats, sandwiches grenade and ready to grab and go. Too bad I missed the last cookie the 2nd time I was there. But there was pie, delicious chai, and gorgeous benches. And a famous author....lol!!

Kitschy, homey, eclectic. Great cuppa and pastries. Cool decor

I love coming here for morning coffee and pastries. It's always delicious. The establishment has a warm, comfortable and friendly atmosphere.

Good espresso. Lovely atmosphere.

We were going to sample every coffee shop in Sitka (because); but having found this, we have come twice a day for the incredible pies, the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and great, great lattes!

Everytime I visit the Back Door it's like family, super inviting and food/drinks are always on point, absolutely love this place..

We stopped for a quick visit as my brother-in-law stated this one of his favourite places to visit while in Sitka, Millie and I loved the place. Quiet, great food and a bookstore that kept us browsing for longer than we planned. We ate, bought a few books and added The Back Door to our list of places to revisit.

Homey, great drinks

My favorite coffe stop! I absolutely love the menu and the great service.

Great coffee hidden in the back room of a book store. Could have a little better selection of baked goods, but otherwise, great.

Homemade pastries, yummy

Mocha was delicious, lemon blueberry pastry too!

The food and drink is spectacular

Step one: buy yourself an awesome book in the bookstore. Step two: walk through and then treat yourself to some of their amazing coffee and a snack. I had the flourless chocolate chip and oat cookie; so tasty and fresh! I'd have loved to spend more time here just sitting, reading a book and enjoying my coffee, it just feels so relaxing!

Awesome baked good, great coffee, good vibe. The gentlemen that made my coffee this morning was a sweetheart. Great place to sit and get some writing or reading done.

Nice people, relaxed environment.

Great coffee and sweet morning treats.

Loved it!

My idea of a great coffee shop. Barista pulled an excellent double shot, the pecan bar was like crack, and there was a quirky literary journal waiting on the table for me to browse.

closed at inconsistent times

Backdoor is a completely unique establishment. Resides in one of the most pristine small towns worldwide. Employs friendly skilled baristas, bakers, and chefs to serve the picky tastes of Sitka, Alaska without issue. As a Sitkan myself, I have a special love for this place and its long time standing here with us. With fulfill all your coffee needs along with a delicious single item for lunch and delicious pastries or breads baked fresh the same day! Family-friendly, full of culture and a town favorite.

The morning spot for Sitkans. Fantastic homemade sandwiches and desserts. The walls are covered in local art too!

No sandwiches. Coffee & treats. Local haunt. Enjoy!

When I need a good 16oz. (and I mean good) triple shot moca w/ hazelnut the back door is my stop.

Good coffee, better desserts and food

Best coffee in Sitka, hands down. If you get there while cinnamon rolls are being made, do yourself a favor and buy ALL OF THEM

Hot damn if this place doesn't have some delicious bagels that they make in house. Don't wait too long because I hear they run out, but they usually aren't ready until a half hour to an hour after they open. Coffee and service was good, but it was mainly about those delicious bagels. I've heard delicious things about the other baked goods as well and I plan on trying them (and more bagels) next time I'm in Sitka.

Line management is not great 😭😭

Cute and great coffee

The regular coffee was hot and fresh. The ginger bread was delicious.

Great coffee, relaxing atmosphere. Tasty Chai Tea. (No other foods served though)

After finding no decent coffee on a cruise, Back Door was heaven sent. Cool quaint book store in front also. Staff seemed friendly enough 😁

Amazing coffee, friendly staff and room for waking up that seems both communal and private at the same time.

Great coffee sis

Super cool and cozy shop

Cozy hideaway behind Harbor Books. Light meals, coffees. Cheerful service.

My kind of coffee! But I am picky. I hate Starbucks because it always tastes a bit burnt to me ( not that Sitka has one - thank god) The Back Door is like an extension of the book store so how perfect is that ! Their pies are awesome, along with dandy treats and daily lunch specials. I’ve never had a lunch I didn’t like !!!

Everyone is nice that is behind the counter. Their deserts are really good, and the reason they deserve 5 stars. Definitely worth a visit. Their pie is fantastic and my wife really likes the scones.

My favorite type of espresso cafe: good espresso, connected to an excellent, local bookstore.

Centrally located try it !!

Great fresh bagels, pies, coffee, and other pastries here. Homey atmosphere and personable workers.

This is my favorite lunchtime coffee shop in Sitka. Staff are wonderful and they make delicious food and mochas. The atmosphere is friendly and I almost always see people I know.

Sitka surprise: espresso coffee culture in Oz is significant, so finding Back Door came as a very nice surprise to meet our espresso coffee needs.

Hidden gem in Sitka. Opens early. Great service and delicious fresh baked pastries.
