Absolutely amazing! The coffee was rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed—truly some of the best I’ve had. The service was fantastic, with friendly and attentive staff who clearly care about their customers. The whole experience was top-notch, and I can’t wait to return!

This is a great gelato shop, definitely a must try if you're in the area. Dolcezza actually set up a stand at my school a while ago, and they gave out a bunch of free scoops. Both times I've had them they've overdelivered. I preferred the sweeter/chocolatey flavors over the fruit ones, but both are good.

I visited last year and stopped by after dinner and wow! Affogato was incredible! Back again this year, and I can't wait to go back!

Hands down the best cup of coffee (hazelnut latte for the win!) in such a very long time.
Everyone was so cheerful and at peace.
The sounds and smells were inviting and it's a bright, airy location to where you feel better from visiting.
Forever will be one of my favorite coffee stops in town.

Amazing ice cream shop! The gelato was fantastic—especially the chocolate fudge and pistachio flavors. The hot chocolate was rich and indulgent. Definitely worth a visit!

If you want to eat good Ice Cream here is right place. But coffee… Cold and according to coffee they serve, overpriced.

They have a decent selection and variety of gelato that’s great quality. Their affogato on the other hand is lacking immensely. Literally one scoop and one shot.

So that’s a bit disappointing. One of my favorite places for affogato, if you know me and have seen my check ins and reviews is from a small town in New Mexico I used to be a regular in, 4 shots with three gigantic scoops. They used to seriously hook it up.

My absolute favorite.

I certainly won’t be getting affogato here, especially for about $10.

The three scoop is your best bet. And a convenient area to shop around, surely an area that’ll make a dent in your wallet.

What’s the point of having COFFEE on the menu if I can’t get COFFEE during business hours????

I drove 45 minutes to catch the 11pm close time only to find out I CANT GET COFFEE AT 10:45. Shame on you Dolcezza

I despise those businesses who don’t accept cash, that is discrimination against freedom, no sign or anything,
Only when I get to payment I get to be embarrassed, what is wrong with our society!!!

The coffee at Dolcezza is actually quite good - their coffee beans used are very rich in taste. Price is a bit steep for just regular coffee but nothing is cheap nowadays. Food wise - both quality and taste - a bit disappointing given the price tag. Service is generally okay.
