About

Backlot roasts its own coffee and pairs it with house-made syrups, specialty lattes, and a rotating pastry case that has included a vegan olive oil orange donut and banana bread. The compact Old Irving Park shop has art for sale, counter-order service, and ample parking; weekend mornings can get busy, and reviewers say the music and room can be loud.
