A new name in the city’s coffee scene continues to pop up.
Dialtone Cafe has two locations in the works, a coffee bar at 200 N LaSalle Street in The Loop, and a cafe and wine bar at 369 W Grand Avenue in River North. This will add to the team’s two spots already open in the city. Opening dates have not yet been announced.
The concept is fairly new for the Windy City, as the flagship Dialtone location opened in February last year at 1136 N Wells Street. It is owned by Onni Group, who has opened other restaurant concepts in Chicago in the past. What Now Chicago previously reported on the company debuting Solette, a new American restaurant and bar on Randolph Street in The Loop.
Those stopping into one of the locations have many coffee, tea and breakfast options, along with pastries in a display case. For the colder weather, hot drinks include a traditional latte with steamed milk, a matcha, chai latte, espresso and hot tea. The wine bars serve traditional red and white wines, multiple beers and cocktails like their espresso martini.
The building is at the intersection of W Lake Street, and a FARE location is also at the base of it. This is on the north side of the loop close to the river, and near other concepts like Taste of Japan and Ajida. The Clark/Lake CTA station is a short walk from the building.
What Now Chicago is awaiting comment from Onni Group on the new Dialtone Cafe locations. For more information on the chain, visit their website.
