What People Are Saying About The Back Door Bakery & Cafe

In Short – This informal walk-up encourages four-legged customers with doggie treats and water bowls. The human-friendly menu offers more than just baked goods, and everything from soups to the chunky ketchup is homemade. The main draw is breakfast, particularly the fluffy omelettes and huge quesadillas, both with fresh fruit, lightly fried hash browns and freshly baked rolls. For lunch, the grilled cheese is a local favorite. Snack orders include chocolate-chip cookies, sweet potato muffins and buttery croissants.

GLAD IT"S CLOSED!

SO glad it's closed! It was seriously the worst place EVER IN THE HISTORY OF PLACES TO EAT. I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE THIS!

Excellent baked goods; Friendly staff and patrons
by fiestascramble at Citysearch
I love going here on the weekends with my dog. There's a bowl of water sitting out for doggie customers even. It's really small, but perfect for a quick bite. I don't tend to order their hot breakfasts, although I do highly recommend their hashbrowns. I typically order a pastry, a coffee (not the best espresso drinks, but ok) and read the Onion on their patio.

Not good first impression
by babshappy at Citysearch
My first visit to the bakery to check out the baked goods, specifically, I was looking for a cupcake. There was only one customer in there - even though I heard this place gets crowded in the morning. She took her time and the gentleman behind the counter didn't acknowledge me. He was slow to complete her order.
The selection was very poor. I picked up a carrot cake cupcake instead, which wasn't that great. The other goodies, like croissant, looked quite good though. The menu looked fabulous so I am returning within the week to sit down and try the breakfast menu.
I'll report back on my second impression!
- Pros: menu variety
- Cons: price on cupcake!
