Dolcezza Gelato and Coffee

I recall their matcha latte being just okay, but this is a popular breakfast so I'd bet their coffee and breakfast items are quite good. Their gelato selection is fantastic and the entire ambiance here brings you a small slice of Italy.

Paid $4.95 for a decaf cappuccino and got handed a cup that looked like a double shot of espresso. I asked if it was a cappuccino and they said yes. I paid a total of $5.95 with tip and was just flabbergasted to get handed a cup this small after paying. The service was good and the vibe is cute!

Dolcezza was hands down one of the best gelato places I’ve been to. They have both year-round and seasonal flavors which are locally sourced. We got the Mexican chocolate crunch, Hazelnut, and one of the coffee flavors and boy did they hit the spot. My personal fav was the Mexican chocolate crunch which was a unique mix of sweet and spicy. The consistency was super creamy and the flavor powerful. Seating was limited indoors, unfortunately, and so we had to just eat the gelato on the go (they only had a single community table and window bar seating.) Will def be making a trip back to Dolcezza next time I’m in town as I would love to try some of the fruitier flavors. Strongly recommend!

Best ice cream in DC
Such unique flavors. Tested it twice and got hooked

This place is amazing. Make sure you get some samples but the Gelato is some of the best I have had. It’s in a great location, definitely go check it out.

Maybe the best mocha I've tasted. Think they're open to building a location in my kitchen? 🤔🥰

The gelato was delicious. I got the dark chocolate chip, peanut butter smash, and cookie dough. The dark chocolate chip and peanut butter smash were the all stars of my selection.

Not the gelato we loved in Italy, more like ice cream full of sugar. Even my husband who has sweet tooth found it too sweet. Had the sour cherry cheesecake which was better than the mascarpone & berries.

I love gelato. When I’m feeling down, I drive down and get me a pint to go. I love that they already have the flavors prepared in pints. It makes it easy to grab and go.

Sometimes I sit and eat my gelato inside. It’s peaceful inside.

The staff are very friendly and helpful in making a decision between all the delicious flavors. I got hazelnut crackle and Swiss chocolate, and enjoyed both immensely. Also, their chai latte is one of the best I’ve ever had! Even though it’s a small shop, there are a few cute places to sit and the atmosphere is very cozy. Will definitely return on our next dc visit!
