Backdoor Cafe

Tucked away discreetly off Lincoln Street, the Backdoor Cafe lives up to its name, offering a delightful escape from the main thoroughfare. The atmosphere is generally quiet to moderate, with a local, artistic feel. Seating is somewhat limited but offers a mix of small tables and window seats looking out onto the alley – surprisingly good for people-watching and focused work. Their coffee is consistently praised, and they boast an impressive selection of homemade baked goods, often with unique daily specials. Lunch options are also available, including soups and sandwiches. The crowd is predominantly locals, artists, and those in the know, creating a friendly, community-oriented ambiance. Noise levels tend to be lower than chain cafes, making it easier to concentrate. It's a fantastic spot for a deep work session, but be mindful during prime lunch hours, as it can fill up quickly. Don't miss their fresh-baked treats!
