With Starbucks gone, Backlot Coffee is one of two appealing cafes, both locally based, that serve northeast Evanston. To go with your coffee or tea there are pastries, donuts, cookies, and (until 3pm) a variety of bowls, burritos, bagel sandwiches, etc. from the kitchen.
Just brought my dog to the vet for a routine check and stepped by Backlot Coffee to wait for my dog ... and had a very nice dopio (double espresso) and a toasted Everything bagel with cream chease. The window seat was fun, watching people go by on a snowy cold day. I like that neighborhood coffee. And I took a bacon onion quiche home. Can't wait to eat it (needs to be heated up, might use the air fryer for a crispy quality.
The espresso drinks and atmosphere are great, usually very busy. Also excellent baked goods-
Unfortunately I’ve had 2 times in the past month where I ordered a drink and food, then the food never came. Only from going up to the counter and asking why it had been 20+min. I wonder if they get so busy that tickets get lost sometimes.
Again, great drinks but not getting your food and either staying to wait or asking for a refund might not be...
