Backlot Coffee, located in Evanston’s lively Central Street business district, has been serving the community since 2016. Known for its cozy atmosphere and friendly vibe, the coffee shop has become a staple in the area.
Offering a classic selection of coffee beverages and pastries, Backlot also features a breakfast menu with items like bagels, burritos, toast, and breakfast sandwiches. The shop is known for stocking donuts from Do-Rite Donuts, adding a sweet touch to its offerings.
For those looking to try something unique, the drink menu includes several specialty options, like the oatmeal cookie latte. Whether you’re a fan of the classics or looking for a fun twist, there’s something for everyone.
The shop’s casual, rustic ambiance makes it a great spot for both quiet work and lively conversations. With a welcoming environment for laptops or friendly catch-ups, it’s the ideal place to spend a couple of hours. And if you’re in a hurry, Backlot’s quick service ensures you’ll have your coffee fix in minutes, with grab-and-go snacks for those on the move.
Since opening, Backlot has adapted to the needs of the Evanston community. After moving to 2006 Central St. in 2017, the shop briefly operated another location on Sherman Avenue. Now, Backlot also has a small café in Kresge Hall, making it easier for Northwestern students to enjoy their drinks without leaving campus. However, for those looking to experience the full menu, the trek to Central Street is well worth it.
