Good espresso. Lovely atmosphere.

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

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

Henry Robinson

Some of the best pies I have ever had.

Erika Tedin

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!!

Brandon Swinford

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.

Jill F Russell

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

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.

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

kc blair

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.

Dwight Hobberechts

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

Karen Martinsen

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 !!!

Great!

Ethan Fitzsimmons

Love the pasta!

James Stark

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

Bennie Good

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

Ric Diesel

Homey, great drinks

John Alpine

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

Peg Clark

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

Maria Swoboda

Cold brew was nothing but coffee ground sludge. Not sure if they don't know how to make cold brew or the batista just didn't realize that the dregs are unfit for human consumption but it was nothing but silt. Tossed it after second sip.

J Reid Turnquist

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!

Carolyn Annerud

Right out the back door of the Sitka Pioneers Home is my personal favorite coffee shop in the entire World. It makes my visits to my Mom and Dad at SPH really special. Great pastries, excellent coffee, cosy, homegrown atmosphere. Thank you for being there - thank you for the wonderful service and delicious coffee pastries and food.

Trevor Thrupp

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.

Linda Green

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.

David Goll

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.

Erica Shumansky

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!

Gil Marr

We wandered into the Back Door Cafe on a blustery morning in August and were greeted with great coffee and delicious breakfast berry bars. When in Sitka, this will be my place to stop for breakfast.

Ben Horten

Nice quiet coffee shop behind a book store.

John Holahan

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.

Chris Spurlock

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.

Becca R.

Super cool and cozy shop

black bird

Friendly staff and yummy lattes

Mim McConnell

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.

Renan Santos

Love it

Erik Bahnsen

Great coffee and sweet morning treats.

Margarita Silva-Barber

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

Recommended by friend who visits parents across the street Day 1: Wife stands at end of counter B: Line forms over there W: But I just want to find a lid for my coffee cup Day 3 11:22 AM Wife walks in from hotel W: Can I buy one of your sandwiches? B: Yes, at 11:30 W: But that’s only 8 minutes from now B: Yes Day 3, etc. Highliner Cafe Better coffee, better goodies, happy to see their customers Back Door has the attitude that business would be good if it weren’t for the $@&!% d*** a** customers!

(Translated by Google) The back of a beautiful bookcase hides this coffee, not too small, which serves tea, coffee and chocolate in beautiful assorted cups and excellent puff pastries and cookies, with a nice background of Red Hot Chili Peppers. What we would call a hipster place, but for me it deserves ten praise for the atmosphere. (Original) Il retro di una bella libreria nasconde questo caffè, nemmeno troppo piccolo, che serve thè, caffè e cioccolata in belle tazze assortite e ottimi dolci di sfoglia e cookies, con un bel sottofondo dei Red Hot Chili Peppers. Quello che noi chiameremmo un posto un po' hipster, ma per me merita dieci e lode all'atmosfera.

Ben Timby

Great local hangout, wish they had WiFi though!
