Quaint spot i visited while in town on business. I asked local sheriffs and Law Enforcement officers where they'd eat and this was the hands-down location they all mentioned. Upon finding the side door entrance, I was immediately taken back to when life was slower and people sat to eat and have conversations. No one was in a rush. The waitress was nice and gave me pointers on what is most ordered. The recommended sandwich and pasta salad were a hit! Quite a bit of food for under $15. read more

We visited there yesterday. I was surprised by the small number of reviews but they were mostly good. When we walked in we were greeted and offered a table. The place was full of locals and that is always a good sign. The food came out quickly and it was very good. I had a Reubens with a side of broccoli apple slaw and both of them were excellent. My wife had the chicken salad and potato salad which she said was also very good. I would eat there again if I travel through Perry. read more

I'm new to town and stopped in while running errands. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly. Places and people like this is what made me fall in love with this town! read more

Great service. Very personal and the conversation was excellent, friendly and fast. Food was excellent. We will return again and again read more

Food was great. Service was not as friendly as others have written, but we were traveling thru and stopped at 1:30 - and they close at 2. We intentionally ordered items that would be quick because we could tell they were not happy to see us. Very nice ambiance and, again, the chicken salad plate and chicken salad sandwiches were very good. Another negative is I NEVER appreciate plastic utensils when I am spending $12 for a salad! Lastly, if you follow the Yelp directions, you will never find it. Put the address in Google instead! read more

Great find, thank you yelp. Yea truly dog friendly. Staff was awesome and food good. Several sandwich options, salads and sides.

This adorable little bistro has great coffee, and the food is spectacular. I love their pimento cheese!!! The staff is friendly and helpful. read more

Backdoor Bistro is a very nice restaurant. It is tucked between two shops with a sweet courtyard you can enjoy outside. The menu changes and the coffee is wonderful and freshly brewed to order. The service is also spot on. You just can't go wrong when in Taylor County to stop in and enjoy! They also have a food truck that is available. Give it a try' read more

Excellent little spot right downtown. We were taking the back way from Wakulla to Orlando and stopped here for lunch. The Rueben and Roast Beef sandwiches were awesome, as was the dill pickle soup and the coffees we snagged for the rest of the drive. Service was top-notch as well. read more

On our way to Tallahassee from Gainesville and didn't want to eat from a fast food place. Decided to look for a local spot on our way and found Backdoor Bistro and Coffeehouse. Excellent choice! I ate the pimento raspberry jalapeño grilled sandwich, ah-mazing! Bonus...pimento cheese was homemade! Also tried their coffee...yum! Thank you for the delicious lunch. Also a shout out to the lovely people who work inside! They ALL were so friendly and hospitable, it felt like home. read more

Backdoor Bistro And Coffeehouse - So far the coffee is delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Perry, Florida

Great restaurant. Got a coffee and tea and sat on the couch to chill waited for lunch time and ordered salads. The staff was great. Met the owner. Very nice. read more

Although they were getting ready to close in 30 minutes they did not make us feel unwelcomed. This off the beaten path eatery was very nice. I personally think a whole wall of coffee options is a bit much, but to each his own. The menu had some variety. I ordered the grilled cheese which was fair. Actually my daughter said the ones I make at home have more flavor! My daughter enjoyed the quesadillas. Sad they use styrofoam cups and plastic straws and even the sour cream comes in a pa ket that you cannot recycle either. . So much for recycling and saving the environment. It is a cute place and I am sure their regulars go mostly for the coffee. The decor was very cute though. read more

Highly recommend stopping for some great food and service! Lots of options for coffee, delicious food, and staff was very friendly!

What a fun place to have breakfast and coffee. Nicely situated at the back of a outside courtyard with good service from the staff. I had coffee with steamed half and half and a breakfast sandwich that were yummy. This was a good start to our day. Thanks. read more

Great food and service. Nice atmosphere. We had lunch there I and really enjoyed it. Tried the pimento sandwich and Cobb salad with chicken.

This place is fantastic! The staff was so kind and helpful. Quick service and delicious meal. I had the veggie grill sandwich (added jalapeño) and the broccoli salad. The veggie grill had a lot of flavor and the homemade broccoli salad was tasty. I also enjoyed a mint mocha frappe. read more

Great service and food! Soups are always on point! Salads are always fresh and the staff is always fast and knowledgeable.

We were passing through Perry and found this lovely little restaurant. The service was very good and pleasant. We ordered the Jalapeño Popper sandwich and the BBLT (double bacon). The Popper sandwich had pimento cheese, sliced jalapeños and bacon. Both sandwiches we very good and served right off the griddle. We were to choose a side. I asked our server which one didn't have sugar. The potato salad was the only one and it was delicious. The bathroom was very clean. The reason for four stars is the BBLT needed more mayo and had one 3" diameter tomato slice. We will stop again and have two Popper sandwiches. read more

On a trip and we didn't want to stop at fast food. So glad we stumbled on this place. I had the chicken alamonde and my partner has the southern pig. Both were excellent. Plus the staff was super friendly and the courtyard was a lovely place to relax in the shade on a summer afternoon. read more

First impressions are important, the hostess asked us something to the nature of "what are you doing here?" as soon as we walked in the door. It set the tone. Normally I'd find a different place to eat but I was driving through on a Monday morning. The soup of the day was Crab and Corn bisque. It was delicious and the flavors were perfect. The house coffee was mediocre. I tried the broccoli salad on review recommendation and found it overly sweet. The wait staff weren't friendly, hurrying away from the table as soon as possible. We were the only people in the restaurant. Actually, I'm not surprised we were the only people there considering the vibe. read more

Just had an incredible lunch at the Backdoor Bistro. Huge turkey/bacon sandwich on toasted buttery Texas toast. The bacon was thick, the turkey fresh and piled high. Picked pasta salad for my side, great! I could've been happy with just a bowl of this! They had other side salad choices: potato, broccoli, cucumber salads, chips. My husband ordered the BLT. Equally delicious and thick! They have indoor (spaced out appropriately) and beautiful outdoor seating. We chose outdoors. It was like a private garden. Service was pleasant and prompt. If you find yourself on the Florida Gulf look for the town of Perry and enjoy breakfast or lunch at the Back Door Bistro. But get there before they close at 2:00. read more

So glad we took an easy diversion from our route into Perry and found this gem! Plenty of free street parking for our 25' travel trailer. Excellent cafe mocha, coffee, chocolate chunk cookie and the blueberry muffin was filled with blueberries! Super cute outdoor seating. Recommend. read more

Love love love this quaint restaurant. Tucked back into Downtown Perry. Go through the Iron Gates and be amazed! Wonderful for breakfast with quiche... coffees excellent espresso!

Again it is breakfast and lunch. I highly recommend you get off the beaten path and visit the Backdoor Bistro & Coffeehouse! read more

If you want to know if I LOVE this little spot...my husband and I got married there and I eat lunch several times a month here. They offer catering and I utilize them often for my office events. The service is kind, sweet and consistent. The food is delish and easy. Sandwiches, wraps, salads, quiches, soups....great easy eats. The Southern Gobbler, Cobb salad and that amazing cucumber salad are my go to items...oh and the ruben I like ans that comes from a native upstate NYer!! A decent ruben is hard to come by in the south!!! LOL.... However I have MANY favorites! They also have lovely coffees and sweet eats. My favorite coffee is the Cloud 9. If you are in Perry there are very few good eats but Backdoor is a staple for consistent, non-dissapointing food options. Not to mention they have The Venue, that you can rent for events at very respectable pricing. You will truly enjoy a nice meal here or for take out, try them! read more

So glad we decided to stop by the Bistro. This place is very large but is arranged so that there are private areas to read or just relax. The owner mentioned that the address is really #126. Fortunately, we had seen the picture of the beautiful courtyard so we looked for the side entrance. Home baked cookies and coffee were very good. Tables in separate room for large groups. read more

It's like the Hotel California. You can order and get your food but good luck checking out! Eye contact by both waitresses was impossible to make. Stood up...still they walked right by. Started thinking we'd turned invisible. Finally just went inside to pay and still took forever. Would be one star but the food was decent. Wish we'd just gone to the pizza place next door. It smelled amazing! read more
