I just had to immediately come to make this review after the gentleman at the counter provided such sweet, kind, and friendly customer service. 100/10 for him! The woman behind the counter was very friendly and polite as we [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute establishment with seating inside and out. It is very cute inside with a WIDE range of food items to choose from![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Today I ordered a mocha iced latte with oat milk and it was delicious. For food I ordered a healthy meal with steak sautéed veggies and roasted potatoes. And it was amazing ! I would definitely order it again! The steak is not like a prime steak BUT everything had flavor! For desert I HAD to get the pecan brownie and the caramel brownie cause I'm a brownie connoisseur I like my brownies warmed up and these are good but I'll update my review once I have them warmed up with a warm coffee. Just the customer service alone would bring me back! But definitely if you are in the area please stop by and give it a try! read more

Waited exactly 20 minutes for two mediocre hot mochas. I've lived here since before this cafe was established and it has never not been at the very least a somewhat disappointing visit. I always wanted to keep giving them a chance because it's not like we have a lot of similar options locally, but this was the last straw for me. The quality doesn't even come close to justifying the price. I could get teenagers to whip me up any crazy drink within minutes at Starbucks, but the simplest order here requires that I've got nothing else going on in my day. And don't get me started on ordering food here. Let's just say last time it was a similar story but no coffee, just a lemon square... that was already made. Also, one of their young male employees seemed to be on break and used the female restroom when the male restroom was free. Just a little strange there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute ambience and I like the paintings from local artists they have up, but it isn't a place I'd recommend to anyone.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The workers are mostly smiles and friendly demeanors, I just wish they'd be more efficient and thoughtful. read more

TLDR: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Local gem, featuring different artists' work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Drinks decent, good for basic coffee drinks. Lots of pastry and bread options! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has WiFi, indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] --------------------------------------- 1. Atmosphere [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is always bustling! Seems to be a local favorite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A bit more of a homey, informal vibe with a handwritten menu scrawled over the walls.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 2. Drinks / Food a. Cafe Vanilla Latte - 8/10, a bit too sweet for me b. Matcha Latte - 6/10 - was a bit too milky for me c. Pastries - I can't eat them due to allergies, but friends loved! 3. Amenities [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's indoor + outdoor shaded seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has wifi and restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking is not an issue (has an adjacent parking lot)! @baycafedays read more

This cafe is a neighborhood favorite, known for its great coffee, fresh pastries, breads, desserts, and an impressively wide menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space itself has character, especially the charming outdoor seating area that makes it a nice spot to relax.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just my opinion, with a remodel, this cafe can draw in even more foot traffic, and take an already popular place to the next level.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Yummy I just tried their masala chai shortbread cookies they my friend bought for my home, along with their assorted savory and sweet pastries, and I was ver impressed! I will be visiting this bakery soon. read more

I used to always order steak and eggs and comes in a nice big plate with plenty amount of meat. The last 4-5 times things has changed. See photo, that's $45 steak plate!!! I asked for full portion and they claim this is full portion.. look at the photo, 3 eggs and little meat for $45. A bird will not get full from this meat, this is a joke, I understand if this was half price but $45 for this?! I always try to come back and give it a chance I say maybe it's a mistake but always get disappointed. Increase your portion! read more

The Back Door Bakery & Cafe - $45 for this!!!! Crazy! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunland, California

Stopped by The Back Door Bakery & Cafe solo for a mid-morning coffee and snack, and it was exactly the cozy spot I needed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is small, welcoming, and homey -- lots of locals stopping in, plus some outdoor seating that's great if you want a quiet moment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I grabbed a latte ($4.50) and treated myself to a Butter Croissant ($2.75) and an Almond Croissant ($4.75). Both were fresh and flaky -- the almond croissant especially hit the sweet spot. For something more filling, I tried the Breakfast Burrito ($10.10) with avocado ($2.10) on top -- packed, warm, and satisfying. Ended my little solo brunch with a cinnamon sticky bun ($4.75), which was a perfect indulgent finish. One thing I appreciated: they have free Wi‑Fi, and it felt work-friendly -- I noticed a few people on laptops while sipping coffee. Some seating areas might have outlets, so if you need to plug in, it's worth asking the staff. Parking is easy in the lot out front, which makes grabbing a solo breakfast low-stress. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, a great spot for solo coffee, breakfast, or light brunch, especially if you want a cozy café to relax, study, or get a bit of work done[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

I want to like it so much, but I keep having bad experiences here. I realize how hard it is to keep a biz like this going, and I appreciate them for being in the hood. And not every experience has been bad, but 50/50. Today I ordered an egg muffin. It is supposed to have a poached egg. See pic. I realize you think I might drip egg yolk all over my shirt, but I wanted a poached egg, not what I got. Also, the muffin/sandwich was smaller than my lady palm. Eek. And 2 slices of avo for that up charge? C'mon bdb, you have to be better. I believe in you, we need you, I will keep trying. The staff is always very nice and helpful there. Some pastries always deliver like the spicy caramel croissant, yum! If you're a coffee snob like me, don't get it here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice vibes inside and restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I've never been to Sunland, but I'm glad this little bakery got me there. Entering after 2p, I encountered an empty place save for one guy at a table. I think there were two girls behind the counter, one kind of greeted me then a guy comes out of nowhere to take my order. Since it was my first time, he was very helpful, letting me know breakfast was served all day, but I had a few other things in mind. From salads to pasta to sandwiches and everything in between, the selection was pretty vast. I decided to go with their grass fed beef sliders (no cheese), and in lieu of the roasted potatoes, I chose fries. For some reason, I also ordered a sunburst tea (this was unsweetened and black tea I believe) which was odd since I rarely order anything but sweet tea. This food was really good! Two sliders and a small portion of fries rounded this out, but it was a perfect size just to hold me over. The only thing was I wasn't offered the different sizes for the beverage, only the medium/large so I would have gone with the small had I known (since I kind of ordered this on the fly, I admit I wasn't sure of the sizes). I'm sure this place is packed on the weekends/breakfast time so I'm glad I showed up when I did. Big parking lot with plenty of spots, sharing with other businesses in the area. Service by the guy was great, and the food was worthy. I wouldn't mind visiting here again for either the same thing, or to try something new. read more

The Back Door Bakery & Cafe - Fun drink menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunland, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was too loud[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . And it seems staff is more focus on the music than the customer. I waited about 30 min for my food and a bout 25 for a cup of coffee. My order was missing a sweet bread . So I had to get up and remind the staff for it . I ordered 2 B burritos. The eggs were under seasoned, and the bacon if any was only one strip, clearly the Lucky boy burrito destroys this one. Seriously if you call it a bacon burrito at least make the bacon visible . Over all I would not come back here . $55 for 2 burritos and a cup of coffee and sweet bread is overpriced. read more

Their vegan tart is soooooo delicious I'm so going back when I'm in the area again to try other pastries as well. The selection is great and the service is very friendly as well. The coffee was okey, I've had better but I enjoyed the food alot. read more

First timer. Had good reviews and a place to have a late lunch. But to our surprise, it was trivia night. Every Sunday 4pm-6pm during Theo happy hour Reno hosts trivia night. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good seating inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had a variety of wine, and canned craft brew from a local brewery. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. On top of that great selection of pastries!!! We had the BLT and a turkey and Swiss. Very friendly and helpful staff. Quick service and yes delicious fresh sandos. But what made it great was Reno, he is a great host and we quickly got into the trivia game. We were too late to join but still had fun guessing. We definitely will be back. read more

Deborah, the owner, bakes everything herself on a daily basis so it is always fresh. There is a wide variety of pastries, breads, and specialty desserts, plus salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, etc. One of the things I like most about this place is that they support our local community. They are generous and welcoming, and that's one of the things that make a community special. Thank you Backdoor Bakery! read more

Thought I'd stopped by here to get some breakfast as I had extra time while waiting for an appointment time near by. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like the idea of this cafe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I enjoyed eating my breakfast next to the window and sipping a good cup of coffee.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was nice and friendly. As I was waiting for my food, I looked around the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love that they have live music on Saturdays, and now considering on stopping by sometime to check it out as they serve wine and sell beer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Seems like a chill time... I ordered a basic 3 egg omelette that comes with toast and a side of hash browns for $16.75. Cup of drip coffee for $3.85. The food was ok. I really liked the hash brown, as to surprise it had a garlicky taste (which I love!) Omelette was nothing special. I liked that I got what looked like homemade strawberry jelly. So yummy! All in all, don't think it was 17 bucks worth, but i enjoyed my food. I'm thinking maybe I should have ordered something else of the menu... they have a great selection of pastries, which I noticed many people stopped by to pick up a few to-go. I liked the spot enough to consider coming back and trying out more of their menu. Only downside was the price for what I ordered. Felt like paying $22 + tip for eggs, potatoes, toast and coffee was a bit too much. read more

Stumbled upon The Back Door Bakery while I was in the area for the day, and I'm so glad I did. What a find! They have an amazing selection of fresh-baked breads, pastries, and savory bites, plus great coffee and tea. Everything is made in-house -- even their drink syrups -- all with clean, natural ingredients and nothing artificial. And modestly priced! I had a freshly brewed loose-leaf tea and it was perfect. The service was warm and genuinely welcoming -- I believe I was helped by the owner, and they went out of their way to make sure I felt at home. I only wish I lived closer -- it's a bit of a trek for me. But if I'm ever back in the area, this is absolutely where I'm coming again. Highly recommend! read more

While waiting for my husband, I decided to grab a coffee since I planned to eat later with him. I came across The Back Door Bakery & Cafe, so I thought I'd check it out and enjoy some coffee.

It's a simple cafe in Sunland good for a simple breakfast treat but I give it a 5/5 because the staff are warm, friendly, and accommodating! I enjoyed the breakfast I ordered which is the Holly Special: two poached eggs, lots of spinach, and hash browns. I paired it with a dark chocolate croissant and it was rich in chocolate! My husband had the patty melt. We just ordered a macchiato and an iced green tea. I enjoyed the breakfast experience because I'm a breakfast lover and I liked that every food I get complement altogether! read more

I love this place. Feels like home! Food is very fresh and delicious. The owner and the staff is always so friendly. Love small business like this! There's nothing within 20 miles from here that even compares! I love their breakfast burrito and plates, their English muffin with sausage (just had it for dinner) AMAZING... their burgers, delicious!! Their homemade breads and desserts... YUM!! You won't be disappointed :) Oh yes and their coffee is great! read more

Me and my little girl grabbed some croissants from here and they were all so delicious! We had the mushroom, blueberry, and a butter croissant. There were so many delicious choices and we will definitely have to go back and try more. I'm also interested in trying some of their prepared meals. The signs said that all of their sauces are made on site. In fact I think everything is made fresh and daily there. The price is on the higher side, my 3 croissants were $15. But for me it was worth it. They were so flaky and buttery and just perfection! There is plenty of seating inside as well as some outdoor seating. Also parking is easy in an adjacent lot. The staff was very welcoming as well. read more

Would not recommend, Got a coffee that taste like watery milk that we finished, and a strawberry smoothie that taste like spoiled watery milk, not sure if the strawberry's were rotten or milk was bad but this was my lunch break and it failed to meet my lowest expectations.

The Backdoor Bakery and Cafe is everything a coffee shop should be. First off, the food and drinks are fresh and out of this world! Baked goods are made fresh on-site. We were greeted by friendly, knowledgeable staff! There's also a cute little outdoor patio surrounded by greenery. Most of all though, the Backdoor Bakery is a space that feels like intentional community building featuring local artists and events. It's definitely worth a drive if you're not generally in this area. Or stop by on your way to a hike in the nearby San Gabriel mountains! Parking: easy peasy, lot on site! read more

The Back Door Bakery & Cafe - Grabbing some brekkie and coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sunland, California

What a disappointment and total embarrassment for whoever owns this restaurant. My son and I just ate there this morning and just had the worst $45 breakfast we've had in a long time. If I we had gone down the street to Everest, we could have got twice the food for half the cost. On top of an extremely overpriced omelette that they charge you an additional cost for any item added to it, they chare $7 for a small plastic water cup of lemon water that they call Fresh squeeze lemonade. Their three egg omelette (my guess from tiny quail eggs) that cost me $20 by the time I had two items added to it, took all of 5 bites to eat, as was the burnt hash browns and the toast that was supposed to be sourdough but was cheap white bread and wasn't brown in the least, and hardly warm at all. My son's breakfast burrito was something I could have got at 7-Eleven with more stuff inside. I guess that's the trends nowadays raising their food to rediculous prices and giving smaller portions. I've eaten in every restaurant up and down Foothill Blvd all the way from Burbank to Pasadena for almost 30 years now and I was really looking forward to trying this place, and even recommending it like so many other people have, but I'm guessing those recommendations came from family members or people that work there. I really don't like bad-mouthing restaurants I love to go out to breakfast with my son on Sunday and would really have enjoyed find a new place that (at least) gives you your money's worth, but sadly this wasn't the case here. Even the people sitting next to us, that I'm sure spent as much as we did, left more than half of their food on their plate and got up looking pretty unhappy as well. read more

I love this place! The food and service are top tier! They have organic and grass fed ingredients. I appreciate a restaurant that goes above and beyond the status quo. Also we had a good bye brunch for a friend moving out of town, we must of been sitting for 3-4 hours they never rushed us or made us feel bad about taking up a table for so long. I definitely recommend this gem in Sunland read more

The food was good, but the portion was small for the price you pay. The dishes don't come with any sides, so I don't think it's worth over 15 dollars each. HOWEVER everything there is homemade, even their ketchup, which I respect. They really put dedication and love on the things they bake and serve, that's for sure. And the cookies...I have to say that they were pretty fire. Simple chocolate chip cookies that were so chewy but crunchy at the same time. High quality chocolate and just perfect amount of sugar. Service was slower than you would expect from a regular cafe, but again, regular cafes don't usually make everything from scratch. If you're not in a hurry and not starving, I say: go try! read more

Finally decided to stop by this cafe since I always pass by. The staff was very kind, helpful, and patient, answering all my questions and concerns happily. I started off with an Earl Grey tea with a side of room temp water. Upon receiving both, I noticed my mug and glass of water didn't look super clean and appeared spotty. I'm not super confrontational when it comes to things like this even though I had every right to ask for cleaner cups. So, I just dealt with it and the tea and water was alright. After finishing both, I decided to order a turkey club sandwich to go since I was running on an empty stomach. My food was made quickly and delivered to my table with a smile. When I arrived home to eat and took my first bite, I realized the bread was pretty dry. While the sandwich taste overall was fine, the bread wasn't pleasant and was hard to bite honestly. If I wasn't super hungry I would've immediately lost my appetite. I kinda had high hopes for this place but good service can only go so far. If you're a germaphobe, picky, or just really hygienic, I don't think I'd recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables were clean don't get me wrong, but the mug and glass situation followed by the dry bread disappointed me...[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Returned here for another brunch date and it didn't go well. There was a long silver hair my friend's sandwich, and another in my salad. The chef had a hat on but not one that properly covered her hair. The more disappointing part was how they handled the situation. We asked for a refund and decided to go to another spot. In lieu of an apology, we were handed two pastries, neither of which are items that we would eat or enjoy. It's a bummer because I really like this cafe and was happy to support them, but cleanliness is a must. read more

it has been sooooo loooong since i have visited the back door bakery! i used to come here all the time when it first opened up. i loooveee seeing all the desserts & pastries placed beautifully in the front when you first walk in. pastries & coffees smelled so delicious. i waas craving something small to have for breakfast before heading to the gym. i ordered myself a warmed up ham & swiss croissant with a caramel latte. the ham & swiss croissant was deliciously flaky with a yummy crunch when you take a bite. the first bite was soo good!! the croissant it's self was freesssshhh. not stale at all. croissant rate 9.5/10. i really enjoyed my caramel latte. i love getting lattes at cafes instead of food chain coffee shops because the coffee always tastes smooth & rich. it doesn't taste too milky, too sugary, or too bittery. it was balanced nicely. thank you to the gentleman who made my latte. i will most definitely be ordering this latte again. iced caramel latte rate 10/10. the service was good & efficient. the girlie who helped me out with my order was very friendly with a lovely attitude. she had no problem answering my questions and educated me on the differences of espresso, macchiato, & a cappuccino. i wish i had gotten her name because she deserves the credit. read more
