Dorothy Lane Market (DLM) is a Dayton legend — an upscale neighborhood market with a European feel, a world-class bakery, and a quietly excellent coffee bar inside each store. At the Oakwood flagship, you’ll find espresso, pastries, prepared foods, and the warm service that has made DLM a Miami Valley institution since 1948.

Dorothy Lane Market — Oakwood, Ohio

More Than a Market

Dorothy Lane Market feels like a blend of café, bakery, gourmet grocer, and neighborhood gathering place. The coffee bar serves espresso drinks using high-quality, freshly roasted beans. Expect smooth cappuccinos, balanced lattes, cold brew, and seasonal drinks that pair naturally with DLM’s legendary pastries.

The Coffee Bar

The espresso counter prepares traditional drinks with precision — macchiatos, cortados, lattes, and mochas made with premium ingredients. Non-dairy options, herbal teas, and matcha round out the menu. It’s equally good for a quick grab-and-go or a relaxed stop at the indoor café seating.

Bakery Favorites

It’s hard to visit DLM without wandering to the bakery case. Their iconic Killer Brownie®, made-from-scratch breads, and pastry lineup (croissants, muffins, danishes, and custom cakes) are some of the best in Ohio. Pair a latte with a French butter croissant, and you’ve got one of Dayton’s best simple breakfasts.

Prepared Foods & Market Offerings

Beyond coffee, guests can enjoy gourmet sandwiches, artisan cheese, salads, soups, sushi, and top-tier grocery staples. The market actively partners with local farms and producers, reinforcing its reputation as a Dayton treasure.
