Dolce Vita Bakery Cafe

Food is amazing but the staff could be more friendly. The place doesn't look fancy at all but their pastries and sandwiches make up for it. I love their iced mocha too.

Come here on Saturday mornings for their Fried Cronuts only available on Saturdays. And come early because they go fast. The one I had was rolled in cinnamon sugar nicely coated while hot creating a sugary crisp candy coating that's to die for. Pair it with a latte or plain black coffee made in-house. The original fried Cronuts will run you about $3.50 each, but well worth the money and calories. Enjoy! Just an FYI: The girl at the shop said you can prepay and reserve the Cronuts if you can't get there until later, but otherwise they do not make them to order even if you beg... LOL 😁

I have tried many, many things here over the years as I made it a mission to try every thing. I am still far from that goal, but can honestl say I've enjoyed everything I've tried along the way. Easily my favorite bakery in Gainesville. Highly, highly recommend.

The lunch is great. Deli style. But the bakery is what makes this place so great. They​ bake all of their pastries and their breads here. Always smells fresh.

The owner is a complete unethical business owner. She treats her employees like trash and verbally belittles them and she also hires without a w2 and keeps the time clock on a written calendar, so guess what? Her last employee worked for several weeks, got fired for not putting a toothpick in the right spot on a sandwich and got stiffed for every penny of her pay. Not one penny of a paycheck! Weeks wasted of her time!

Nice and friendly service. Also the food was amazing.

The fact that you don't have a solid 5 stars is beyond me! The BEST Keesh thing ever and the pistachio muffin! I mean come on! aaaand the service was friendly and promt. I will definitely be back!

Fantastic breakfast. Staff was very friendly. My only complaint is that my breakfast sandwich was gone in 2 minutes and I should've ordered two.

We've been going since shortly after they opened and we've always been very pleased with everything there. We're also glad to see their expansion into a wider variety of savory foods for lunch and take home meals.

Amazing customer service and the pastries are incredible! Must visit if you are around!
