Coffee was perfect. Food was perfect, and I mean every component on both plates we had was delicious. Hospitality unmatched in the area imho. Portion size/price/value - all perfect. Vibe was inviting, seating was comfy, and all the little details are clearly well thought out. read more

Came here just for a specialty coffee and was impressed by the staff's friendliness and warm hospitality. The coffee was delicious and I will def be coming back soon. read more

This place is cute, the food was good, the drinks were fine, service was nice, so why do low a score? We ordered 3 coffee drinks (regular coffee, cold brew, and a latte), 3 food items, and a pastry. Nothing fancy or unusual. Bill was over $90!!! The food items were $15 and under each. So coffee, pastry, and tax was $45? Way too much. Cute but we'll never go back at those prices. UPDATE I appreciate your quick response and did as you instructed. Also we did see the prices on the menus while at your restaurant as shown above. I don't have the receipt so I looked up the prices on your website: Breakfast sandwich $14.99 Torta Ahogada $15.99 French Toast Bread Pudding $14.99 Pistachio Croissant $4.99 Pistachio Latte $5.50 Cold Brew $4.75 Drip Coffee (16oz) $3.99 Total $65.20 Tax 10.25% is $6.68 New total $71.88 Assumed credit card surcharge 3% is $2.16 New total $74.04 We did leave a tip and I don't remember how much we left but the at least 15% for counter service. So assume $9.78 for pretax amount. New total $83.82, with assumptions. Somehow the actual bill was over $90 with everything included. Maybe I'm missing something, an extra fee or tax. But that is still too high for three sandwiches, three coffee drinks, and a pastry. Like I said, the food and service were fine. Just not $90 worth. Given your tone in your response, I still won't be returning to your place. Good luck with your restaurant. read more

Such a cute place with many drink and food offerings. The inside is a bit small and has limited seating so we only got to try the coffee this time. I got the chocolate abuelita which was so delicious. Would love to come back and try their brunch food one day! read more

Not to be dramatic, but wow. One of our favorite spots to date. Arrived and was quickly greeted by Omar. Inside seating available but we chose outside. Outdoor seating is covered and very clean! Omar seemed to be working the front completely solo and he was doing an incredible job! Super friendly and knowledgeable. We asked a lot of questions and he gave GREAT recommendations. Started with an iced horchata latte and lavender hot latte. Both coffees couldn't have been made better. Probably the best that we have had since being in Chicago. Now the food... PERFECT! The presentation was beautiful. We had the La sabrosa crepes, which were light and fluffy. Sweet from the berries but not too sweet! Breakfast tamales were packed with flavor. We have to come back to try the pistachio crepes. Would definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Food is delicious and fresh! Ordered horchata latte, two breakfast sandwiches, Nutella crepe, and coconut yogurt parfait. Each was deeelicious!! Service is pretty quick, the wait was not that long at all. It is a very small indoor area for probably only about 6 people to sit down to eat comfortably with some outdoor seating. I ordered to-go and the food stood the 15 min commute back home well! Would definitely come back! read more

First time coming here and it won't be the last. Staff was super friendly and helpful with all vegetarian options (there are many-you will be well fed). We got Chilaquiles Verdes with avocado. We also got the breakfast burrito (with avocado). I'm usually not a breakfast burrito person but this one changed my minds - everything was superrrr fresh and flavorful. I would 100% order both of these again. We also got an horchata latte, de leche latte and pineapple cucumber chia lemonade. All were so good. Super smooth flavors and perfect sweetness. Love that this place is close to our house read more

I had such a great experience at Dulce De Leche Cafecito! The food was absolutely delicious -- everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Of course, the dulce de leche treats were the highlight -- perfectly sweet and so satisfying. The service was warm and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. The ambiance is cozy, cute, and perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a relaxing coffee break. I'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing coffee, desserts, and a great vibe! read more

Cannot recommend this neighborhood coffee spot enough! It's so walkable from most of north center, you should definitely stop by on your next walk! They do have food but I've yet to try it. The staff and service are always exceptional here! Will be going back on my next coffee run for sure. read more

Just came for a regular coffee and found it to be much more! They have a full menu for breakfast/brunch with a plethora of different latte's. I got their Orange Honey Latte with Almond Milk which was a little sweeter than I like but it was delicious nonetheless! I also got their Alfajores which are Amazing! Not too sweet.. perfectly soft and flaky. So I bought 2 more to share with others. The cafe is quaint, welcoming, and they have outdoor seating which is perfect for a breezy, sunny day! The staff is pleasant and you can tell they love what they do. No parking lot but tons of free street parking!! Definitely will come back for their breakfast when I in the area. read more

We were visiting from during Pride weekend and needed a spot for breakfast and coffee. We found this place and it was AMAZING! We had a big group of 11 and they made space for us outside. I ordered the Dulce de leche coffee and their breakfast burrito that was their special for the day (not on the regular menu) and it was sooooo good! The other favorite of the group was the Chilaquiles! The staff was so attentive and the food came out so fast. I highly recommend a visit here if you're in town! read more

Marginal food on paper plates. Get ready for one piece of dry toast, not 2. No jam, no butter. Well, butter on request.

Really great cafe, the coffee was amazing and the crepes were delicious. What really shone was the customer service-- this cafe is one of the friendliest and most accommodating places I've been to! Highly recommend this place if you want high quality coffee, delicious food, and an enjoyable experience all around. read more

Such a cute & clean little cafe. Sat there and worked on my computer for hours, which I imagine is because I was there at a random time during the week. Guy who took care of me was so nice & helpful. I ordered the horchata late and the chilaquiles with carnitas. I was seriously happy with my order & can't wait to try more. I'll be back (a lot probably)! read more

The Horchata Latte is my favorite out of all the coffee shops I've tried. It's such a quaint spot, only 4-5 tables seating 2 each and yet all were full and service was prompt. The staff are hospitable and the food is delicious. read more

This place is INCREDIBLE! From the warm and friendly service, to the best lattes ever, this place is where it's at! The interior is cozy and inviting, with cute plants and local artistry on the walls. They have not one, but TWO PATIOS! I always feel Omar, the owner, truly connects with his guests and genuinely loves what he does. I highly recommend the scones made in house! The Nutella croissant is also a favorite and the chicken sandwich! Please don't sleep on this small business! It is WONDERFUL! Thank you and your team for all you do Omar! read more

Nice personal service from a lovely couple,Omar and Ruth. We had Lox and bagel deluxe sandwich, and avocado toast deluxe with Coffee de Leche and a matcha latte. Excellent and delicious and very filling. The beverages were perfect and I even grabbed a scone to go! (Maple-Walnut) Small and cozy with a nice tropical vibe.Pastries are home made and the Altafiore cookies are made by an actual Peruvian! They were perfect. Will go back to work my way through the menu.Nice experience. Siddhanta and Maxi read more

It was an absolute DELIGHT to visit Dulce de Leche Cafecito. Omar and his son, Andy, were beyond welcoming and provided top-top service from the moment we opened the door. They were happy to accommodate our large 11-person group, and it was truly one of the most warm and cozy places to spend our time. Not only were the service and atmosphere impeccable, but the food was even better. With a plethora of dishes to choose from, every person in our party was blown away by the deliciousness of the food and its presentation. The dulce de leche crepe justifies the choice in naming the restaurant what it is. We were so satisfied with the food that we asked Omar and Andy to bring out the kitchen staff so that we could applaud them. If you're in Chicago, be sure to dine at Dulce de Leche Cafecito. You won't be disappointed. read more

Fuimos a desayunar y nos encontramos este rincón lleno de delicias! Los Chilaquiles verdes y el Breakfast tamales a otro nivel, y ni que decir del café , espectacular! Excelente servicio también, super recomendado! read more

The best oat milk latte I've ever had! Cute little place, always smells like heavenly breakfast and pastries. Also ordered catering for a birthday party and Omar did not disappoint. My guests were so impressed with the BLT and Caprese paninis, fruit and pasta salads and churro cheesecake bites. Every single dish was expertly made plus the ordering, delivery and set up were seamless (I basically did nothing). I cannot recommend them enough! read more

I don't like to leave negative reviews for local small businesses and even though this happened several weeks ago I just can't hold it in any longer. I ordered two lox and bagel sandwiches to go and went to pick them up. When I arrived they had my order ready and the employee pushed the credit card machine towards me to pay. The two sandwiches were $14.99 each but the amount shown on the screen was much higher than it should have been so I looked at the screen closer and saw a $6.00 additional charge. Before paying with my card I asked the employee "what is the $6 for?", he completely ignored me and said nothing so I asked again, "what is the $6 charge for?", again, he completely ignored me so I asked the same question a third time. Again, he said absolutely nothing, he then grabbed the credit card machine and removed the $6. Then he pushed the machine backed to me and the screen asked me to choose a tip amount. After that debacle I of course chose zero tip. He took it upon himself to tip himself $6 without even saying anything to me. The sandwiches were very good but I will not go back to this place again. I do not appreciate sneaky and dishonest business practices. read more

They were technically closed when I walked in. I said it was my 1st time stopping in and that I'd drop by another time. The owner offered to make me an espresso drink. I had the signature Dulce de leche latte. I would've been back on the hospitality alone but the drink was amazing! read more

Super nice and friendly service. The skillet special was delicious as was the cortado. Will definitely be back here! read more

This place is such a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The coffee and food are both great, but what sets it apart is the service. They are so friendly! We've brought the kids in (1 and 4 - not sure about highchairs, we put the 1 year old on a chair/lap) and they were very accommodating and supportive. 5 stars, we come at least once a week! Also food is delicious - some bakery items to go and those are great but also a full breakfast menu that is top notch. read more
