Backlot Coffee

Staff is super kind and friendly. I had a really good first experience. No dining which I was bummed about but the coffee & spinach and feta croissant was rly good :)

Just a great lil coffee shop with a good team behind the counter. They also have dorite donuts and baked goods

Most chill coffee shop I've tried in the area. It was full but somehow still quiet. Superior service. Love the reusable mugs and water cups! Pro tip: they sometimes offer buy one get one free pastries in the pm if they have a slow morning.

Our family has been going to Backlot since we moved to the neighborhood in 2016. They quickly became our favorite coffee shop! The customer service is great, the drinks are amazing. They also carry Do-rite Donuts, delicious quiches from PHlour- and have plenty of other pastries to offer!

We love the lattes (mocha, vanilla and oatmeal cookie are faves), cold brew, banana bread, quiches, donuts, cinnamon rolls (OMG 🤤), the employees, atmosphere, decor, plants and location.

I am a SAHM of 4 and seeing welcoming faces and feeling seen and heard at Backlot is so nice. I always feel a bit rejuvenated after stopping in and even moreso after drinking my coffee! ☕

So I am not a franchise type guy. If I can find a coffee shop that’s local and patronize it I will choose that option over Starbucks every time. Back lot has two locations and this one in Old Irving Park is charming. The coffee is wonderful and anytime I have a meeting with a client or a vendor in the area this is my coffee shop of choice.

The coffee is good. The pastries are even better. The Banana Bread and Classic Donut was fresh and soooo good. Only leaving 4 stars because there is no seating area. Seems like the seating area was never restored after covid restrictions. It would be nice to sit and have a coffee.

One of my favorite coffee spots in the city! They have a super friendly and knowledgeable staff! The manager is amazing! The coffee is great! The vibe is awesome!

Always wanted to stop here, we live a few neighborhoods over. It was well worth the stop. The Rose Cardamom Latte was out of this world. We had a few several vegan desserts and they did not disappoint. The customer service was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be coming back!

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Simple and Easy to understand menu. This is my neighborhood go-to coffee spot. I'm glad they're here and happy to give them my business.

I don’t think I ever chugged a cup of coffee so fast in my life because it was so good. I got a cardaman rose latte and it was amazing. I absolutely will be back.
