Dialtone Coffee & Wine Bar

Dialtone Coffee & Wine Bar has beautifully designed interior, creating a cozy yet modern ambiance that’s perfect for a coffee break or a relaxed morning. Their pastries are a highlight—fresh and well-executed. The chocolate seuss, chicken sausage croissant, and almond croissant were all delicious, with perfectly flaky layers and balanced flavors. Coffee lovers will also appreciate the quality of their brews, making it a great spot for a caffeine fix. However, there’s room for improvement in a few key areas. Service could be more attentive, as it doesn’t quite match the inviting atmosphere of the space. The use of plastic silverware feels out of place in such a well-designed café—switching to proper cutlery would enhance the overall dining experience. Additionally, while the café offers a couple of sandwiches, the breakfast and brunch menu feels limited, especially for those looking for more savory options. Expanding the selection with a few more dishes would make it a stronger destination for brunch. It would also be great to see classic brunch cocktails like Mimosas or Bellinis added to the menu to elevate the weekend experience. Dialtone has great potential, and with a few adjustments, it could become a go-to spot for both coffee and a well-rounded brunch experience.

New coffee shop by Old town / Gold Coast! Great ambiance, very friendly staff. We got the pistachio latte and strawberry mocha. Both were got! Got a couple of bakery items too. They are all from the badbutter brand. So you won’t be disappointed with it! Recommended - Strawberry mocha & one of the bakery items but i don’t remember its name :( it was I guess a cinnamon something. Very cozy, very chill vibes! Posted more on @thefoodblogie

As a student in Chicago, there aren’t enough cafés that are open past 3 PM and have actual comfortable chairs. I’m glad this one does. Hours are great, booths are so comfy, the coffee is not my favorite I’ve ever had but it’s not bad at all. I haven’t tried the pastries yet, but they look delicious, so I’ll be sure to get them next time. The staff is friendly, though a bit slow. Overall, it’s a solid spot!

Decided to stop by after seeing this place on Tiktok a few times. It's a great coffee shop! The coffee and pastries is really good. There is a good amount of seating and everything is well decorated. I would definitely recommend this place!

Evert was a great server and really encapsulated service with a smile! Will be back!

Surprisingly good pastries and great coffee. The place is super new so they have a few kinks to work out in shortening their long lines, but overall excellent coffee shop.

Evert is such a friendly and knowledgable employee. He helped me to decide based on his understanding of the products available. Thank you Evert for enhancing the experience. The interior and hot chocolate are fantastic too 🙌🏻

This place is a gem! I was greeted warmly and enjoyed my latte. The ambiance and decor is something special.

I don't often review coffee shops, but this one really stood out to me. I loved the interior - the green stone on the counters was so pretty. I visited within the first week or two of opening, maybe. Came on Saturday around noon and I waited in line to order for 20-30 minutes honestly, and waited again for our drinks/food for another 15-20 minutes? Unfortunately, there isn't a ton of seating so we also waited at least 20 minutes for a table to leave so we could sit down. Also, they were out of the savory pastry I really wanted to try, it had some sort of pork and cheese. I really loved my pistachio latte, though, and the pastries my friends got were both really good! I would come back for sure to get the pistachio latte again and hopefully try the pastry I wanted to try. I saw this recommended as a good place to do work, and I wouldn't agree with that unless it's significantly less busy on weekdays.

It's nice to finally see some non-chain coffee spots pop up in the area. I had an iced vanilla latte and a breakfast sandwich. The vanilla latte was good and the breakfast sandwich was just okay. I don't to think they're made to order (but I might be wrong). The sandwich would have been better if the center wasn't cold. It was a little disappointing, but I would come back for a little drink.

A new coffee & wine bar on the Near North Side. The place has a very cool vibe, offering coffee, wines, and Bad Butter pastries. The only con is the line, it took like 15 minutes to place my order but they got the coffee out pretty quickly. I tried the Dark Matter Coffee Donut and Iced Praline Latte. They were both pretty good, but it is a little pricier than other coffee shops. The Dark Matter Coffee Donut was pretty good, definitely unique. It tastes like a wheat donut with sesame and a unique coffee glaze. Overall cool experience but expect to wait a bit right now.

I got their mocha strawberry cold brew and liked how it wasn't too sweet- with the mocha flavor was toned down a little but not a big deal. I liked the chicken breakfast sandwich, it had eggs, cheese, sausage and some sort of spicy/tangy sauce that tied everything together. Random note but I love the green table countertops and decor. The only downside is that it gets SUPER crowded on weekends and there's limited seating, so get there early or go with a big group and claim a booth.

This new coffee & wine bar below Old Town Park is perfect! It's a super cute interior and the lattes were all amazing. The baristas are very friendly and quick. The chocolate chip cookie with sea salt was incredible - Perfect spot to catch up with friends over coffee or drinks. Would definitely go back!

Coffee shop with Bad Butter aka Dan the Baker pastries? A dream come true. My baker friend introduced me to Dan the Baker pop-ups so I was very excited to hear he was selling in brick and mortar. The vibe is very cute, I had a very delicious vanilla lavender latte, and loved all my pastries - the kouign amman was heavenly. Baristas were helpful. Would definitely want to come back for wine bar vibes as well!
