Share your opinion about Backdoor Cafe
Our first choice of bakery was closed, but a friendly store owner steered us to the Back Door Cafe – literally around a corner and up an alley from Lincoln St.
We were very pleased with the coffee and baked goods that we found here, and we were struck by the number of apparent locals who were coming and going and hanging out.
Locally made bagels were very good, had vegan option for chive cream cheese which is what brought us here. Oat latte and tea were also good, and very pleasant staff. Thanks!
Very helpful in finding a personalized cup of coffee to fit one's preference. Local coffee brew.

The Backdoor Cafe, located in Sitka, is a charming coffee shop connected to a bookstore. It is a hidden gem, celebrated for its extraordinary baked goods and excellent coffee and tea. The cafe has a cozy atmosphere with warm and welcoming staff. Visitors can access the cafe through the back of the building or through the bookstore. The cabinet is filled with delicious sweet treats like snickerdoodles, brownies, homemade bagels, chocolate swirl pound cake, and cookies that are said to be the best in the universe, as well as fresh sandwiches. The coffee is excellent, with highlights including the white chocolate peppermint mocha, latte with anise/pepper syrup, and americano. The staff is lovely, though the quality can vary by barista. The Backdoor Cafe is a great spot for coffee or lunch, and it is a must-visit for anyone in Sitka. The atmosphere can be quiet despite cruise traffic, making it a peaceful place to enjoy a Chai latte or a slice of fresh blueberry pie. It is especially recommended to arrive early, as the baked goods and food can run out quickly. This small, quaint café is loved by locals and visitors alike, offering freshly baked items early each morning. It is a cozy spot to enjoy quality coffee, tasty baked goods, and a delightful experience, though it can get busy and overwhelming when crowded. Overall, it remains one of the favorite places in Sitka for a delicious moment.
