The Back Porch Café Story

About The Back Porch Café The Back Porch Cafe, 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 Back Porch Cafe 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 "Back Porch Cafe" seemed a suitable name. Today, owners Gene Fiechtl, Michael Sheldon, and his wife Katie, are happy to continue the legacy of The Back Porch.

At the Back Porch Cafe, we take pride in delivering to our guests our own homemade bread, cinnamon rolls, muffins, biscuits, pies, and quiches from our bakery. 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 loin, to chicken and salmon. It can be a daily chore, but we find it to be well worth it. Even the smoked green chili everyone loves to smother their favorite breakfast items in is made in house. 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!
