Story

The Backporch Café, established in 1997 by Mike Cooper, was originally a small pie and coffee shop called “Sweetie Pie.” After purchasing “Sweetie Pie,” Mike reached out to his regulars for suggestions. The name Backporch Café was the one that stuck out. At the time, the area everyone knows as our main dining room was actually a deck that provided outdoor seating. Our indoor seating was available at our bar top or in the back room by our neighboring shop “Lamb Spun.” So the name “Backporch Café” seemed a suitable name.

At the Backporch Café, we take pride in delivering to our guests our own homemade bread, cinnamon rolls, muffins, biscuits, pies, hamburger buns, dinner rolls, and quiches from our bakery. Where still to this day, owner Mike Cooper bakes from scratch all of these favorites. We even work tirelessly on feeding and keeping our own starter alive. Aside from bringing you fresh baked goods, we smoke all our own meats from pulled pork, pork chops, and pork ribs to chicken and sometimes salmon. We also make our own breakfast sausage and chorizo sausage. It can be a daily chore, but we find it to be well worth it. Even the green chili everyone loves to smother their favorite breakfast items in is made in house daily. We take pride in what we do and want our guests to have the best we can provide, not only in food, but in service as well.

Thank you for dining with us. We hope you enjoy!

Reviews
Not what I expected from an establishment I have often frequented and recommended many times before. I decided to stop in after a late morning bike ride for a quick/small snack of sorts just after 11 am. Didn't want anything too heavy or sweet, and settled on a side salad ($4) and side of chips ($2). What I received was definitely not worth what I paid. The side salad - a decent sized portion - did not appear to be freshly prepared but rather from a bag I may have purchased at a local grocery store. My impression was that it had probably sat in the refrigerator too long because the lettuce had wilted and had the tell-tale pink streaks and edges. I ate the croutons and cucumbers (additions to what I believe to be an old tossed salad), and about half of the rest. Because my bill was so small, I chose not to make a big deal about it and instead alerted the waitperson after I had paid and tipped so as to be sure the restaurant received some feedback about the quality of its product. I also did not want to come off as "that customer" - the one who looks for the slightest imperfections to have his/her bill comped. So why write a review at all you might ask? Because after I had left, I felt that I and future patrons deserve better than what I received today - an unsatisfactory, overly priced, low quality product. I expect an establishment like this to do better and be better regardless of what they serve, to whom and when.

Had the biscuits and gravy and the sausage in the gravy was not the usual ( did not like it) was also topped with cheese and tomatoes. ???? The potatoes were not shredded but whole chunks ( not my favorite). Asked for eggs over medium and they were not correct. Want a GOOD breakfast go to Lucille's.

This is probably the best breakfast place in Fort Collins. Their stuff is legit. Nice patio. The yarn store is cool too.

Eh, nothing special. Had a burger but it left a layer of something ...maybe fat on the roof of my mouth. The fries were curly and had no taste. The silver is old and mismatched, ketchup runny and cruddy. Probably won't be back. Definitely won't be back.

It's like a warm family inviting you into their home, and all the food taste like family recipes as well.
