From our beloved regulars
I took 3 different type of coffee here. Staff is calm and nice. Good coffee . Just love it.
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!!
We've tried coffee shops in every city we visited in Alaska and this was hands down the best one on the whole trip! Portland coffee snobs would approve 😉
I love coming here for morning coffee and pastries. It's always delicious. The establishment has a warm, comfortable and friendly atmosphere.
Backdoor has a great vibe and even better coffee and snacks. It is a great place to take a break from exploring the town of Sitka or to read a few pages from a book you just bought at the adjoining bookstore Old Harbor Books. Lots of local people hang here so you know it is a good place.
A hidden gem you must check out when visiting Sitka! Tucked away in the back of a cool bookstore. The staff is great and the coffee is amazing! If you can’t find it on your own ask one of the locals. You’ll be glad you did!!
This is literally a cafe at the “back door” of a book shop. And it’s a hidden gem! You can access it via the back of the building, or through the bookstore. The staff are all so super friendly and nice (just like all the people we met in Sitka) and the cafe is cute and has a lovely cosy feel. Lots of indoor seating and there are a few outdoor tables/ chairs too. The coffee was excellent- they definitely know all about their beans and how to make great espresso. The cabinet is packed with so many delicious sweet treats, and freshly made doorstopper sandwiches too- so make sure you come with a big appetite! A great spot for coffee or lunch.
Backdoor Café in Sitka, Alaska is a hidden gem. The service is warm and welcoming, and everything feels homemade and thoughtful. The food runs out quickly so make sure to get there early. The rhubarb granola pastry is to die for. One of the best things we ate on our trip. Cozy atmosphere and a great stop for a morning treat.
Stopped in the evening while in Sitka on NCL’s Jewel. What a great little spot. The staff is lovely. My snickerdoodle was yummy. I had a white chocolate peppermint mocha and my bf had a cup of coffee and a brownie. We were both very pleased. Loved this little town!
O M G! Best cookies in the universe. They also have coffee, tea, breakfast burritos, cinnamon rolls, and sandwiches. There are a few tables if you want to eat there. They sell out, so don’t waste time! There is a great bookstore attached.
