WOW! I don't know how I've never been to this bakery before. I originally thought this was a Mexican pastry spot but it's actually Italian style pastries. They also have deli sandwiches which are huge, affordable and made with freshly baked focaccia. The pastries are not overly sweet and obviously have quality ingredients. Warm and friendly customer service, the owner even gave me a sample of the lentil soup! This will definitely be one of my new spots.

I searched for a place with croissants and this showed up. Decided to try it for lunch. It was so convenient to customize your sandwich order with the items you like. I’m a picky eater so I appreciated the order sheet to mark your ingredient choices. Sandwiches are big! I ate half and had the rest for dinner, it held up great. The homemade bread was not like any focaccia I’ve had before, it was super tasty.I went with my cousin, we honestly had the hardest time trying to decide on a selection for dessert. We shared a lemon cheesecake which was a lovely mixture of dense, rich, and bright. The lemon was perfect. We also got a box of some desserts to take home and try later. I think our favorite was their chocolate and white chocolate cake and the raspberry white chocolate eclair.They didn’t have all the desserts labeled but they were extremely friendly and answered any questions about flavors. Staff was wonderful.I would definitely go again and recommend to people.

Indulging in the culinary delights at La Dolce Vita was truly an experience steeped in tradition and authenticity. From the moment I walked in, I sensed the rich heritage woven into every aspect of the cafe, especially when Titi proudly shared that she represents three generations of bakers.Each bite was a testament to their commitment to quality and craftsmanship, evident in their house-made creations. The focaccia bread, delicately adorned with black seeds, offered a symphony of flavors that elevated the entire meal. It's remarkable how such subtle nuances can transform a dish.Freshness and healthfulness are the cornerstones of La Dolce Vita's menu, with ingredients that tantalize the taste buds while nourishing the body. The addition of basil to the sandwich not only infused it with vibrant flavor but also filled the air with its aromatic essence, enhancing the overall dining experience.Service was impeccable, with Titi's warm hospitality shining through as she graciously treated us to a complimentary serving of lentil soup, a delightful gesture that underscored their commitment to customer satisfaction. To top it off, our drinks were generously comped, further exemplifying their dedication to ensuring every guest leaves with a smile.Moreover, their inclusion of Halal options speaks volumes about their inclusivity and dedication to catering to diverse dietary preferences. And let's not forget their diverse coffee offerings, ensuring there's something to satisfy every palate. La Dolce Vita isn't just a cafe; it's a culinary journey that celebrates tradition, flavor, and community. Support this local gem and embark on your own sweet adventure today.

Great little bakery. Lots of sweet options but I wanted lunch. They have a list of sandwiches that are all served on focaccia bread. I had the roast turkey and it was a generously sized sandwich that I could have easily only eaten half of it wasn’t so good. Also had a nice chai latte and a delicious sample of the lentil. Place is clean and the staff is friendly. The chairs and tables are just patio furniture but good enough.

I absolutely love this bakery! It is my favorite place to stop on my way to or from SF for coffee, sweets, or a sandwich! I am a huge fan of the tiramisu cakes and the turkey sandwiches.

REALLY DELICIOUS and nostalgically good sandwiches! Especially perfect to take on a little day trip (wrapped to perfection)! I ordered the prosciutto sandwich on the menu which is in the picture. We also tasted the lentil soups and damn, such unexpected flavor from a small deli! Service was to the point and welcoming! mmmm and definitely grab a sweet! The crem brûlée is ?
