Cafe Dolce

My family and I came here, just based off of this cafe selling boba, so we hadn’t seen the reviews beforehand. The owner was very friendly to us and was willing to explain what goes into the baklava and what kind of coffee they use, etc. This is a one stop shop! It has sandwiches, desserts, coffee, gelato, acai, shakes, smoothies, and boba! Ever since we found it, we’ve stopped by every day! The coffee is phenomenal - best coffee my dad and I have ever had (and we’ve tried a lot)! We even ended up getting a bag of beans! The ginger shots were really good too! Very fresh and strong!

We went a number of times. The food/coffee/drinks are phenomenal.

Service was better in the mornings when the blond gentleman is there. He really explains things, chats you up and on the whole makes the whole experience. He gets 5 stars.

The other gentleman and the ladies are all business and don't look like they enjoy beeing there. He/they get 3 stars.

Very pleasent atmosphere.
Great sadwiches, a kunafa ( middle eastern desert) that melts in your mouth, among other delicious pastries, smoothies, juices and coffee.
Did I mention the icecream?

Great little coffee, gelato, and pastry shop. Had a latte and a couple pieces of baklava. Both were very good and priced very fair. Very friendly and accommodating owners.

Very friendly owners and wonderful homemade desserts. Tried my first ever maamoul, with walnuts, absolutely delicious!! My husband bought a bacon burrito which was really great. My little daughter had gelato. Yum!

They are very hospitable people. The owner has a very strong personality. I think some people may confuse that for him being rude, but he is very kind and straight forward and helped us pick out what to eat and drink. He took time to educate us on types of coffees and even how to make them at home. He told us to call if we had any questions about how to make cold brew coffee since we bought some beans.

I had a latte, and it was good. They also have sweets and treats which look yummy, especially Baklava. I saw people walking out with small boxes of Baklava, and there were varieties to choose from.

We had - Turkish coffee for two $20
- kunafah $12.
So it’s so expensive for such orders.
BE AWARE FOR THE PRICE WHEN ORDERING.

It is so hard to find vegan food in Solvang! Luckily Cafe Dolce has amazing vegan sandwiches and wraps not to mention delicious vegan gelato. I had the chocolate gelato with some Turkish coffee... Oh. My. God. And not to mention, the staff and especially the owner are always super friendly. If you are vegan, love coffee and come to Solvang, definitely check it out!

Worst experience ever. The manager was very rude and insulting. I ordered Turkish coffee that was clearly posted for $7.50 but then he charged $9.50 I said I'm not paying $9.50. Then he became very mad at me and started to swear bad words in Turkish to me. Never had a experience like this before. Do not spend your money here. There are much better options in town.

Read the owner comments on the 1 and 2 star reviews then you understand why not to go here.
