Cafe Dolce

i had the solvang toast and blueberry lemonade today and after i got done eating it my head and stomach started to hurt. then i literally barfed everything up. the food was okay, but fs pricey. but idk something is sketch here, i was perfectly fine before eating so fine with caution

Ended up coming here accidentally and loved the Mediterranean ambience. Out of the 2 sandwiches we ordered one was fantastic and other was meh. The tea was nothing out of the ordinary. The staff are friendly and the chocolate vegan icecream was really good!! The portion sizes are decent and make a filling meal. If you are in the area, definetly check out this place for some savory options.

We had decided to eat here because the menu looked great, until we saw peanut butter on the kids menu. With a son with food allergies, this is a no go. Kids are super messy, and peanut butter ends up on everything. I hope the restaurant considers changing to sunbutter in the future.
Edited to add that restaurant replied back. But instead of considering a change, they complain about the stars. I guess the one star will stay 🤷🏼‍♀️

The best bakery, espresso, sandwiches, and gelato in all of Solvang!!! Quality ingredients, exceptional taste, and accessible pricing!!! A must if you are in the area!!!

Loved Cafe Dolce! Wissam is THE BEST! He KNOWS coffee and teas. But the most special part of our visit is Wissam's personality.

What a gem. Come here. You will enjoy the atmosphere and the yummy foods and coffee.

Back for a second visit April 1, 2019 and this isn't a JOKE! It’s sooooooo good!...yes it's April Fools Day!

Wissam was in and he remembered us!! What an amazing man. He puts his heart and soul into his cafe. We really enjoyed talking to him. We decided to have breakfast so Wissam's wife made us a really good and hearty Açaí Bowl.

A lovely barista (adorable young woman with cool dreads!) made my husband an Indian Chai tea latte and myself a Espresso latte with Oat milk. She was very engaging and sweet. Their coffee is amazing as it's from Handlebar Coffee Roasters.

The seating inside is so comfy and inviting. Like being in a private home. There is also patio seating.

We will return...maybe even make the drive from Ventura JUST to visit with Wissam and to enjoy the great coffee, tea, Açaí and SERVICE with a SMILE!!!

We love this place and stop at least once when we are here. Everything is fresh and homemade, they have the best smoothies and fruit bowls ever!! They have a homemade pumpkin spice latte that surpasses all others!!

Coffee. Handlebar Roasters, Gibraltar blend. (Macchiato, +bag). Blends are rated on a higher scale as they are manipulated to achieve a desired profile. I will definitely return to experience a Single Origin.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! The owner screamed and yelled at my elderly mother when she got in line to order coffees and desserts because she had a sandwich from Paninos (great sandwich shop next door) in her hands. He proceeded to kick her out and told her she can't come back since she had already bought something from somewhere else. She didn't know what to do. She was so frightened and embarrassed because he did it in front of everyone standing in line. She apologized to him (I definitely wouldn't have) and asked soo sweetly if she could just order a couple coffees and desserts. He said NO!! GET OUT!! NO COFFEE FOR YOU!!

SHAME ON YOU! You are a miserable disrespectful man. To scream at a woman for absolutely no reason and kick her out. I will never go here and I will tell everyone I can of your pitiful shop. You are a weak little man that can only feel strong yelling at a woman.

Healthy breakfast/brunch alternative to all the pastries in Solvang- especially for vegans! Toasts, sandwiches, açaí/pitaya bowl (in photo), smoothies, juice, ice cream & milkshakes (vegan option)! Also, really well-made drip coffee & market items! Black, green & Thai tea options- wish they had earl grey!

Average staff, not happy or unhappy. For the most part they just want to take your order and get to the next customer. In a way I understand because it was kind of crowded for a Thursday but service should always matter. The bulletproof coffee I had was $6 which I guess is OK but it wasn't comparable to the bulletproof coffee I have in San Francisco. I didn't feel the same burst of energy but it wasn't bad. There are places to work and it wasn't hard to find a seat to work. But there's no wifi unless you have xfinitety account. Overall the place had a lot of potential but everything about the place was a near miss. Too bad.
