Customer Reviews
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.
This is a fantastic local gem! Their coffee is consistently excellent, with a great selection of beans and perfectly crafted drinks. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a perfect spot for working, catching up with friends, or just enjoying a quiet moment. The staff are always friendly and efficient, adding to the overall positive experience. Highly recommend!
I met the owner before coming here, and I can say his personality and friendliness definitely are reflected in Backlot Coffee and the staff. I came here after a long bike ride and they let me store the bike inside with no issues.
First the owner John is such warm and welcoming person wich automatically gives this place a friendly , home like vibe. I used to be a regular at ⭐️or DDs but after coming here it’s impossible to go back to anywhere else. It would be nice if they were open just a lil later for that second wind , but until then I just get an extra and warm it up later ..
Incredible service and staff - my dad takes his dog every day to get a pup cup and they are always so excited to see him. And whenever my dog is in town they are so sweet to her! And they always remember her by name whenever she’s back! They both have the best time there and the coffee, matcha, and cookies are amazing. The dogs say the pup cups are five stars too
