met up for a quick coffee chat and just found a new place to go to. Dulche De Leche is a cute café, which offers an assortment of hot beverages and food. didn't get to try their food, but it looks really amazing based on what all my neighbors eating. Service is lovely and they bring your coffee right to your table when you order in . I think this is considered Albany Park neighborhood #cafe #coffee #Chicago read more

I will preface this by saying I'm no coffee/tea/cafe connoisseur, but I loved the blue matcha latte here. Like love love love, would come back just to have this drink. I admit I am partial to a brightly colored food item, but the flavor was sweet and yummy in a way that was unique. I'm still not sure what blue matcha actually is lol but I will be back to have this treat. This is the kind of drink I'd order for myself to give myself a pickmeup/joy boost. They also have other fun drinks and food on the menu I'd love to check out. We love neighborhood cafes! read more

HUGE SANDWICH! I'm a little picky on the breakfast sausage but this is really good and worth the money! I also really enjoyed the latte, not too sweet but sweet enough for me! (And I love sugar) Went in wanting to get To-go and the service was amazing and quick! Didn't have to wait too long at all. I wish I could stay, the place looked like a really great spot to study and get work done or even hang out with a friend! read more

Dulce De Leche Cafe - It's the first place that I have tried horchata latte and it didn't disappoint - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Went here with colleagues for lunch on a Friday since it was close to Northeastern's campus. Easy street parking. It is a lovely, intimate space. There was enough space for the seven of us to sit comfortably. The server was kind. The food was delicious and they were kind enough to provide us some complimentary desserts! Our only concern was the amount of time it took to receive our food since we were on a lunch break. However, the desserts definitely made up for it! read more

Such a cute breakfast place with delicious and unique crepes! This is a family-owned business with lovely servers that were so sweet and helpful. They went out of their way to help us with cleaning and setting up the baby chair. I had the mazapan which had a delicious cream cheese filling and strawberries on top. The watermelon lemonade and dulce de leche latte were also super tasty. Can't wait to try more from here. read more

My first time here as it was recommended by my SIL. The food was pretty good but for the price of the chilaquiles, i didn't think that it was fully worth it. There was not as much carnitas on the plate and my portion was smaller compared to the other 2 chilaquiles plates at the table. The cafe de olla on the otherhand was delicious and would order that again if I decide for a second try. read more

I really love this place. Top-notch cappuccino, excellent food, and very good service. I'm a particular fan of their skillet eggs and breakfast sandwiches. The decor is bright and fun, and it's just a great spot for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. read more

I've been to the spot twice at 8am when they publicize they are open and both times they haven't opened until closer to 830a. It be nice if you opened when you publicized. Food is good, just open when you say you are open. read more

As we continued on our journey across Chicagoland to try all the cafes, my husband found this spot in Albany Park. Street parking was very easy to find. We only went for coffee, but I saw right away that they have a very yummy looking full menu with crepes! I will have to go back to try those. I was initially curious to try their beautiful blue matcha and green matcha drinks. When I checked into the Yelp app, I was pleasantly surprised with a 20% off espresso/coffee drink offer. After talking with the waiter, he explained that a lot of the signature drinks made with flavored syrups, but the horchata latte and dulce de leche latte are made with their homemade horchata and dulce de leche - sold! My husband ordered the horchata latte, and I got the dulce de leche. Despite the name, it is not overly sweet, but it is delicious! I look forward to going back to try those matcha lattes and the food. read more

Cool little coffeeshop with bagels and other breakfast items. Dulce De Leche is a Latino owned small business with an interior that can be described as minimalist. It's not like a hip coffee shop people like to come to hang out. Actually seems like more of a cafe to come and get out after not long. The prices are pretty okay for an independent shop. Breakfast and lunch are when it's open, and it gets most of its business from Latinos. It has a bit of a Mexican flair in the menu items, but there's also typical coffee shop stuff. The coffee menu is pretty basic and small, so it's not like these places with these fancy drinks and that. Best thing here is the Peppermint Latte. It's about $4 for a medium. They can make this with non dairy milks such as oat. Bagels are among the good items. It's about $3 for one with a spread such as jelly. Also has sandwiches at lunch that look good. The next time here I need to get one. Good local business. It's popular with the Latino neighborhood around here. The prices are pretty good for the portions and quality. read more

Overall, a cute, local spot. It was a bit warm in there but that happens sometimes! I thought their matcha menu was a good amount! I opted for a classic iced latte, nothing extraordinary but nothing to complain about either. Our server was super attentive and sweet. read more

Dulce De Leche Cafe - Nutella Crepe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Ambience - It's café casual. Seat yourself usually and there's waiter service but you pay up front like a coffee shop. No issues there, however. Service - Nothing crazy. The gentleman who waited our table took our order promptly and gave us a share of recommendations. He was friendly Food & Drink - They were out of the champurrado which looked really good judging from the menu description so I settled for an horchata latte. It was made well. Your typical latte art and such but flavor wise was nothing crazy. Cinnamon forward but went down well. As far as crepes and I believe I had the chorizo with papas, it was very good. The Marzapan Crepe was sweet but not overwhelming which tends to be the trend with these colorful creations but this place brings it down a notch so I was satisfied. The rest of the meal was filling and portion size was reasonable Overall, looking forward to coming back ! read more

Advertised on their menu is that all their bread is baked by their own chef - you can tell! We had the My Favorite sandwich and the Torta Afogada and both were delicious. The bread was the star of the My Favorite sandwich show, and the carnitas really stood out in the Torta. Both dishes tasted like they were made by mom at home on a weekend morning - not to say that one could make them themself at home, but that they felt like home. The 2 flavored lattes we got were also great; needless to say, we'll be back to try some of the crepes! Peculiar taste in music... read more

Really great cafe! They sat my boyfriend and I within a few minutes and it was pretty busy during the Saturday afternoon. I ordered the breakfast chilaquiles with carnitas and an iced Ube drink. The food came first before we got our drinks which was confusing but the overall flavor and taste of everything was on point! It was delicious. My boyfriend also enjoyed his breakfast skillet and ate it all. Would love to come back for more coffee! read more

We came here for a rare breakfast during the week. Not sure how my wife found this place, but it definitely hit the spot. The inside is small with not many tables. So I was surprised that we hate to wait a few minutes for a table to finish up. The crew here was great and even brought out a little bench for us to wait outside. I ordered their cafe de olla, and we both ordered their chilaquiles with chorizo. These came with a side of two eggs and black beans. The chilaquiles were topped with queso fresco, avocado, radishes, and sour cream. The tomatillo salsa that was used for these was so flavorful and the dish itself was very filling. I'll definitely be returning. read more

He estado aquí por tiempo y desde hace 2 meses su servicio cambió mucho , no me gusta meter complains pero muchas veces. Las crepas no está bien cocinadas , no contestan el teléfono , y en el restaurant tienen niños trabajando sin experiencia y les pides algo y nunca te lo traen y parece que todo el tiempo están enojados . Desde que la señora ya no están aquí es muy mal servicio y era uno de mis lugares favoritos cada 2 días read more

Nice little cafe, the lattes are def my favorite. They're delicious and decently priced. I was a little disappointed on the egg cheese croissant I paid 11.99 for the sandwich and it was fairly plain and small for that amount. read more

Mmmmm. Wanted to get brunch with fantastic coffee and no typical hype and lines of other great brunch places. This was everything and more. My horchata latte was ideal; they serve Dark Matter coffee which is always perfection. Love the savory and sweet crepe options, so I got the savory and was delighted. However, the chilaquiles with carnitas was out of this world delicious. Perfectly crisp yet smothered in epic homemade salsa. Service was friendly, nice bathrooms, fun art on the wall, totally A+++ and will return!! read more

Went back to treat myself to a horchata latte and was asked if I wanted whole milk. This surprised me since when I asked previously if the horchata latte was espresso in horchata or a horchata syrup or flavoring, I was told definitively it was horchata, and they made their horchata in-house. I asked the person at the counter "isn't the horchata latte just horchata and espresso?" and he said it was a regular latte with horchata flavor. I asked if it was a syrup and he said "basically." I try to avoid syrups and straight up processed sugar (unless I'm indulging in some dessert) so opted for a plain soy latte. Not the treat I had envisioned. Overall it's confusing, both because I got 2 very different answers about what the drink was, and because to me it makes no sense that a horchata latte would be anything but a latte with horchata as the "milk." That's a delicious idea. read more

I was so pleasantly surprised at the sophistication of the food at this hidden gem in our neighborhood. I had not thought crepes could e made in so many ways. My mom had the chilaquiles and said they were one of the best ever, and she has them whenever she can. The breakfast crepe was a true surprise and I loved it. My daughter had the traditional kids breakfast of eggs, bacon and fruit. Add on top a great cafe au lait and it was a spectacular brunch of Mexican food and crepes! Loved it and will be back! read more

I've not eaten at Dulce de Leche Cafe yet, but it looks like a fine cafe where you can get a coffee, or a huge breakfast sandwich, or a fancy crepe.

I can purchase bags of fragrant Dark Matter Coffee from here, which makes my love very very happy. read more

My friend recommended this place to me for an iced lavender latte and it slapped. Got a breakfast crepe with carnitas and it was also great.

We love Dulce De Leche and often dine in or do take out. The staff is very kind and the food and coffee are quite good! I've liked everything I've tried. Eating in is very comfortable and the cafe has a nice ambiance. There are two outside tables that have swings for seats, which can be a fun experience. (Hopefully they will add a few more breakfast/lunch options as we come so frequently!) There is another Dulce De Leche location on Western Avenue at Irving Park Road, which is much smaller but has a larger outdoor seating area. read more

Are you grabbing brunch this weekend? If it's not Dulce, what the heck are you eating?! Walking in to grab my carry-out order on Sunday, I witnessed a packed restaurant with wonderful smells and a family standing outside in hopes of gaining a seating. As I approached the counter to grab my food which was packed and ready to go, one important question by an associate. "I can't give you this food until you show me insulated bag." A detail for those of you 'delivery types' that wonder how the hand-off delivery goes. Brunch was sublime. Everything was tasty and if there was anything I wanted seconds of... Their black beans and definitely another crepe, just for me. Many Latin inspired restaurants will offer a re-fried beans side with meals. This was made with black beans and had a loose kind of gravy. It was very tasty. My brunch crew shared the following: Chilaquiles verdes La Sabrosa crepes - Infused mixed berry cream cheese, candied orange zest topped with orange vanilla Corlis. Torta Ahogada - Braised carnitas, panela cheese, pickled red onions, cabbage salad, roasted tomato soup on the side. Serve on a telera bread. (As pictured in their menus, I plated the sandwich the same. Cut side down in a bowl and poured the soup around the halves. Oh my Lordy y'all. All of it was muy bien! read more

Husband got the lox bagel...it looked delicious...he confirmed it was! I'm pregnant so it's on my list as soon as I can have lox! I had the Favorite Chicken Sandwich. They were out of brioche buns so the multi grain bread was suggested. I was doubtful but agreed requesting it toasted... FANTASTIC! The homemade bread here is awesome and I would request it on this again...so if you order this sandwich I recommend it. Will be back for sure! read more

I've been coming here regularly for over 2 years now. Omar and the staff truly make this the most caring and welcoming spot in Albany Park. I've since moved from the neighborhood but keep coming back cus it's just that good! The food is made with love, offering everything from one of the best lox bagel sandwiches I've ever had (comparable only to NYBB imo) to crepes made from scratch, to a chicken sandwich that has got Popeye's *running*. Not to mention the roasted veggie bowl that saved me many a my vegan days... Paintings and photographs by local artists always hanging on the walls, live plants on every table and a beautiful mural make it a genuinely heartwarming vibe every time. Gotta make the commute from the Kimball Brown line? Come on in! Rainy day, lo-fi study/work vibes? Look. No. Further. Laundry day? Come onnnn. And if you're looking to host an event here, Omar is here for the community. He will go out of his way to make you feel at home. He let a c couple friends and I shoot a scene from a short film here last year in the front of the cafe after-hours, lights and camera included, and he even gave us some signature chocolate abuelitas to boot.
