The coffee shop, just off to the side of the Metra Railway station (hence backlot?) is a very chic and somewhat hippie-vibed coffee shop that would be very at home on a college campus.

The shop is adorned with modern art and creative wall paintings. The clientele meshes nicely with the vibe (except me, perhaps😁). Young, urban, stylish customers fill out the experience.

The staff is friendly and the restrooms are clean and cutely decorated...
I wanted to try something new on my way to the Skokie Festival of Cultures and glad I stopped at Backlot Coffee! It’s a small space that packs a lot of character! They had art for sale on the walls and plenty of space to sit to enjoy your coffee or work on your laptop. I got a hot coffee with caramel and it was handed to me immediately and it was just what I wanted! The banana bread has chocolate chips and really hit the spot! Fair prices and kind staff. They have parking too!
Normally I’m a big fan of the coffee (forgot my preferred flavor) but this time I went in hoping to try their matcha and I was really disappointed. The matcha looked really light and didn’t really taste like matcha. Other coffee we ordered was better but both just missed the mark.
