Reviews for Backlot Coffee in Chicago, IL
Backlot is a great neighborhood coffee shop with amazing espresso drinks and drip coffee. I?m never disappointed by what I order... here. The one thing I?m bummed about is the new seating, which is pretty uncomfortable and feels unfinished. The tables arepretty tiny and the chairs are either hard wood benches or stools. It can be a bit tough to settle in and work here. Read more
I'm so glad I found this place, and can't wait to visit again! This was a last-minute find while driving through Chicago and... searching Coffeeshops along my route in Google Maps. Such a quick stop off the highway and great coffee. Donuts are wonderfulas well, so there is some real talent here in making/sourcing great stuff. Read more
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 haveplenty 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 seeingwelcoming faces and feeling seen and heard at Backlot is so nice. I always feel a bit rejuvenated after stopping in and evenmoreso after drinking my coffee! ? Read more
A fantastic spot to pick up some excellent coffee. Heads up, there is no indoor seating besides a bench
A little disappointed. Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon when it was below 20? outside. Four employees and I'm the only customer.... Great service but no interaction. Just a good morning or thanks for stopping by would have been nice. Below past review: TheHoney Cinnamon Cortado was a little disappointing. I did not taste any honey or cinnamon. Tried to ask for more Honey/Cinnamonand still didn't taste any. Will try some coffee next time I swing by. I'm very happy the coffee I purchased from them wasroasted recently. Coffee was amazing!!! Will be snagging some more! Read more
Good place to have some coffee. Staff is patient yet inviting. Their is a handful of selections to choose from in the bakery... goods. I was surprised that they offer Do-rite donuts here for purchase. I bought a donut and espresso for just over $6 which isaverage on pricing. Inside decor is nicely illuminated but a little bit tight so dining in may not be an option. Overall a goodplace to visit. Read more

Love this place. Coffee is amazing. New seating areas are so cute. My husband is GF so we go for gluten free donuts on the... weekend. They are amazing. Read more
