Reviews
"There is no coffee establishment nearby that beats Backlot. The premises are warm and nicely decorated with painted murals and local artist paintings on the walls. Owner John Kim was running the front all 3 times we visited and greeted many patrons personally. That says a lot and he remembered my name on 2nd and 3rd visit. The latte was great and the excellent cortado exhibited powerful aromas of quality roasted beans. Both had excellent crema which is a must for me. The staff is efficient, keeps premises clean and maintains good service levels - could be more friendly following John’s example. Great selection of baked goods and roasted beans. Give this place your business and you will be happier for it. My wife ranks this establishment #1 in Evanston and she has excellent taste (especially in spouses)."
"Can recommend enough. Has my favorite breakfast sandwich, The Monty. John, the owner is always cheerful and welcoming. The baristas are great. Love This Place!"
"After a very hard morning of adulting. I found this place on my way home up north. The man at the register was so very kind and helpful. It made my day just standing in this beloved neighborhood coffee house which was buzzing with life. . If I am in this neighborhood again I will stop by again."
"Backlot is an Evanston neighborhood favorite! They offer excellent coffee, espresso, and teas and a great variety of baked goods. The owner is awesome!"
"I love this section of Central Street: lots of restaurants, shops and cafes. We were walking around to find the Starbucks which apparently closed this location so we ended up going to Backlot - and boy were we happy we did. It’s a jolly space with great decor and fun window seating - great for people watching. I deviated from my normal boring latte order to try their coconut ginger latte (iced) and it was amazing!! The service came with a genuine smile, too. I will definitely be back - such a fantastic coffee spot!!"
