    Banana cream matcha
    Tray

    We got the banana cream matcha and it was good. A little too sweet. Flavor was great not too strong or bitter. Seemed like banana matcha with whipped cream though 7/10. Still enjoyed it a lot. Cool vibes there's no seats open because everyone's working 6/10. Service was fine it was really busy a lot of people in line and phone calls and baristas handled it very well 7/10. Orders were taken fast the drinks took a while but not too long it was probably around 10 minutes.

    Brown butter matcha

    A very savory and smooth matcha, but I think the slight butter taste wasn't for me. I can imagine other people loving it though. On another note, I came here to work at they have these massive booths you can sit at, but there are individual people just taking up the entire space and I may crash out now since there is legit no where to sit at 11 am on a Wednesday....

    Love Dialtone! Staff so kind and friendly! Lots of outlets and natural light, great work from home spot. Great coffee, will be back to try food! Overall so impressed with how kind and friendly the staff is! Makes me want to visit again!

    I swung by diatone on a walk and decided to give it a try. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience was chic. The servers weren't very friendly but wernt rude either. I ordered the caramel coconut miso latte. It was so yummy! I couldn't taste the coconut but I could taste the miso and a hint of caramel. I will be back to try their other special coffee beverages.

    Wonderful coffee and wine bar - a decent sitting area and their menu is great. They have the best pastries too! Sign up for their rewards too and you get $10 for your birthday month! It gets busy, so if you go during peak hours (10AM on weekends), know that you may need to wait. Super friendly staff and the matcha is surprisingly good!

    Very corporate feeling place, lots of wine options, lattes, and other coffees. It's inside a weird old-town industrial park. Weird condos, abandoned lots, and trains surround this oddity. I got a cold brew, and the bacon breakfast sandwich on an English muffin. It came with mayo or some"special sauce" aka mayo. The English muffin was nice, but the bacon was definitely a microwave variety. It was a little one note without the English muffin. My partner got a parfait and hot coffee, they were enjoyable. They do not have many juice options, just fancy juices, so it's not traditionally kid friendly but kids are more than welcomed. The sandwich took like 5 minutes, but it wasn't a big deal.

    this is a cute spot in river north to wfh at. it has a clean, light and airy interior with several 2 person booth tables (with outlets underneath them!!) and a few larger booth table options. the drinks are good and the sandwich options are really great and varied, and their homemade potato chips are quite tasty. i've been here a couple times now and both times the sandwiches did not disappoint. this place will definitely become a go to wfh spot for me. a couple things- this place is inside a hotel and there's a bunch of dogs coming in and out, which is great entertainment for a dog person like me but maybe not for everyone. also the music they play is great- lots of r&b like summer walker and lauryn hill, which i really appreciate. also this spot is located just ~a block from a high school and it seems to be a spot some of them frequent after school, so it can get a bit noisy at around 3-4pm. overall though, i really like this spot and im excited to try more of their sandwiches too.

    Dialtone seems like a newly opened cafe. They had some interesting options like the Pistachio Latte and Vanilla Lavender Latte. I was confused between these two options and opted for the Pistachio Latte which was quite delicious! My friend had the Vanilla Match Latte which she absolutely loved. We also tried the mini pastries, and all 3 were yum, and quite the right bite size if you don't want to order something whole. The ambiance was quite cute and comfy. They had a section where some people were enjoying the happy hour, which I will be trying the next time I go here and the other section had some people enjoying coffee and reading a book/working on their laptops. Best of both worlds! The service was quick and good too.

    Cute wine bar, very casual vibe. A nice place for a casual girls wine night, order at the counter, most people were in yoga pants. They have good happy hour deals and the aperol spritz was delicious!

    Interior
    Anthony D.

    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.

    Julia H.

    Kind of a perfect coffee shop. Many specialty drink options, foods, ample seating, outlets (!!), big windows, beautiful bathroom, open late, very clean and love their aesthetic. Pricy but that's big city life for ya.

    Came on a Sunday. Service was good, plenty of seating, cute interior - food for a date spot. Snacks at the front you can buy including my favorite AWAKE Caffeinated Chocolates! I tried their strawberry ube matcha - it was good, but I wish it had a stronger ube flavor.

    Strawberry mocha cold foam cold brew
    Christina H.

    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.

The birria egg rolls are incredible and I love the fried chicken sandwich. The grouper sandwich was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The chicken strips were more like patties and so crispy!

The bartender was sooo sweet, very attentive and quick, and made sure my soda was always topped off. I loved the vibe and the moody lighting! The menu is definitely River North prices -- nothing terribly surprising bht on par for the neighborhood. At the time of our visit, cocktails were $15+ and the fry basket was $10. Again, not terrible but definitely paying to be in River North. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely worth it!

I get why it is always booked. If I was to come back, I would do it all again except ...maybe instead of the burger... try something else hmm

They passed the appetizers, but once they passed them around a few times they put them on the bar which became one big grazing station. The drinks were great as well and they even did a signature cocktail in honor of my friend, which was quite strong (hello tequila). The bartender and other staff were super friendly and knew many of us by name after a few hours.

I loved the subtle yet not overpowering smokiness of the mezcal in the Oaxaca. Neither were too sweet and you could really taste the high quality bourbon. We ordered the Korean fried chicken and coconut shrimp to eat from the happy hour menu. The shrimp was super crispy with a delicious ginger-orange compote and rice vinegar pickled onions. Highly recommend! I did think the chicken was a bit tough, but the flavor was good. Another great experience of many to come!

A Basque octopus appetizer was clever and flavorful, if a bit salty. Roast chicken was also notably salty, and it lacked the roasty character we expect from this bistro standard. Poached monkfish was tender and tangy, but also a bit salty. The couple of wines we had were interesting, especially an excellent dry sparkling rose, which was quite dry and refreshing. For dessert, a souffle was just meh. The ambiance and hospitality were notable. The food was inventive and generally OK (except for the saltiness). We're not sure we'll return.
