The Back Door Bakery & Cafe

Honestly, this place sucks. I’ve lived in Tujunga for 8 years now and have watched it stay the exact same the entire time. It’s great that it’s a local business but that does not make up for how mediocre it is. The service is always terrible. You can go in for a coffee in the morning hoping to be in and out and there will be no one in line but one person behind the counter tells you to wait 10 minutes and your quick coffee is no longer quick. That would be forgivable if the coffee did not taste like Folgers and the smell of the place did not make you want to throw up. Always their staff feel incomplete and do not know how to multi task and take your order or be efficient. Smoothies are watery and the pastries are just gross. It’s unfortunate because it could be so good. I hope they figure it out and would welcome the opportunity to help them turn it around.

Not service animal friendly. I’ve been coming to this bakery for years and always found their pastries to be delicious and their fried egg sandwich to be generally pretty good. But the last few times I’ve been here I’ve been met with very rude energy and words towards me in my service dog. All we did was come to order and two different staff members made me feel very uncomfortable about her presence next to me as she quietly stood .They do not bring you water for your pets . They do not bring you biscuits as some of the other reviews have said. My friends tuna melt was not melted at all. Toasting the bread doesn’t count. We came in ordered and went outside but our food was clearly made in a rush as if we were very unwelcome. I’m disappointed in how this place has declined

This place came up on my social media and was so excited to try took the 25 minute drive.

We walked in and didn’t even get a hello, I will be with you in a moment, or anything he even turned his back on us and the place was pretty empty. In looking at the baked goods, they did not look fresh and over priced.

Please know a welcome goes a very long way. We were ready to support this small business and spend some money but instead we walked out and spent $75 bucks at a place down the street.

*** PLEASE AT LEAST LOOK AT WHO WALKS IN AND SAY HI. Especially when you’re not even doing anything for SHAME.

We met up as a group of 12 motorcyclists at The Back Door Bakery & Cafe (8349 Foothill Blvd, Sunland, CA 91040) to kick off our day, and it turned out to be a great spot. The place has a cozy and charming vibe, perfect for a morning gathering. Breakfast and coffee were enjoyable, with good quality food and flavors. Prices were reasonable too. Overall, a nice spot to start the day—definitely worth a visit!

Lived here for a few years and I am just now discovering this place! What hidden gem! Fantastic food!

Wonderful staff! Delicious baked goods! Reasonable prices, and they sell raw milk! Free wifi, and nice restrooms, too.

I want to say, thank you to the friendly staff! ❤

I recently bought a house in Sunland and decided to check this place out. Service was amazing and everyone is very friendly. Menu is my dream breakfast menu 😍 Coffee is amazing, homemade syrups, pastries, and bread too. I’m convinced anything you get here will be well worth it!!

Good vibes and great selection with a wonderful staff. I really wish y'all could find a better way to display prices.

I think the place is pleasant if only the food matched.
I ordered chicken tenders and fries. Both were over cooked
The chicken was so overcooked tough to eat The dip they serve was very spicy. Asked for ranch was told they didn't have . I believe they serve salad but maybe I was wrong. So asked for mayo.. nope they don't have... but they serve turkey sandwiches..again oh well Fries the same cooked to a point that they were so crispy that they tasted burnt.
23$ no drink just the food. The pastries looked good should have ordered one of the muffins.
The waitress was a bit rude.
As if she had no time and restaurant was not busy.
First and last time I go
I will give a thumbs up to the guy who was behind the counter he was polite and explained you ordered sit and they bring your food..
Maybe breakfast is better..But lunch no way..
The one good thing is outside seating so pet friendly

This place has so much to offer!
Not only in the way of food but in supporting local artists and musicians. This place values originality, has plenty of games to play, seating options inside and out, and seemingly endless treats to try.

I brought my mom here for her birthday and she enjoyed original songs performed by local musicians (Randy Rivera - such a great guitarist and song writer).
Support your local mom and pops!
