Backdoor Cafe is known for its excellent coffee and an assortment of light meals.

The cafe's atmosphere also makes it a popular spot for both casual meetups and more focused gatherings. Hannah Chou calls it "a decent place to hang around," while Gunzjet Huang appreciates its tranquility, albeit with a mention that the Wi-Fi could be slow post-5 PM—a small caveat in an otherwise peaceful setting.

Serving light meals and sandwiches, the menu is perfectly suited for a quick bite rather than a full culinary experience, making it ideal for those on the go or looking for a casual meal. The sandwiches, while limited, are crafted with care and bursting with flavor, ensuring that every bite is satisfying.
