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.

This small cute coffee shop is in the back of the bookstore. It's pretty busy, but the coffee is made fairly quickly. Prices are actually lower than the other coffee places in the area. There is a seating area, seats about 25, but it's pretty dark, not exactly conducive to a relaxing atmosphere, but it's not bad, just there's no view. There are two entrances, back entrance has a restroom. The girls tending to this place are very nice, acknowledge you right away and quick. The coffee was tasty, apparently it's raven brews, the competing one from Heritage, and the place smells like freshly baked cookies.

I came here specifically for a cuppa coffee, and the coffee was really tasteless. I didn’t feel like it had anybody was very weak. I would like to be fair in my review however I did not have any of the food and they look like they were baked fresh. Also, the atmosphere is nice. There’s a lot of space here to hang out.

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!

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.
