Backstreet Café will close on January 2, 2025, for renovations. The old little house will be demolished, and a new one will be built on the other side of the lot. The reopening is scheduled for the fall of 2025.
Tucked away on Shepherd Drive is the converted residence that is home to Backstreet Café.
Ever-changing New American choices prepared by Chef Hugo Ortega include salads like goat cheese with pears, toasted walnuts and warm bacon dressing, or entree-size salads like lentils and feta in garlic vinaigrette. The meat loaf tower, a lunch and dinner favorite, comes with garlic mashed potatoes, sauteed spinach and mushroom gravy. Finish with warm apple tart topped with house-made vanilla-bean ice cream. Backstreet's popular jazz brunch featuring the Bob Chadwick Trio is served on Sundays from 11am until 3 pm.
For prime people-watching, request an umbrella-covered table on the front terrace. Or for a touch of romance, sit by the cozy fireplace.
