Mascarpone & Berries Pint
Coconut With Dulce De Leche Pint
Sweet coconut gelato with coconut flecks and rivers of dulce de leche. No paddles needed for this trip -- let the warm tropical air lead you home!
Swiss Chocolate Pint
Milk Chocolate gelato with chocolate chips and ribbons of dulce de leche. Think of it as a deconstructed candy bar except this one will have you chatting the night away with your favorite demon, Mephistopheles.
Peanut Butter Stracciatella Pint
Creamy natural peanut butter with dark chocolate chips - a peanut butter cup for the yearning masses.
Coffee and Cookies Pint
This flavor marks a storied Dolcezza tradition of shameless combinations of our favorite (legal) drugs -- caffeine and chocolate. Juiced-up coffee gelato, chocolate-covered speculoos-nugs, littered with delicate chocolate flakes.Mind-altering gelato without the destruction of life, limb, and property.
Vanilla Bean Pint
This vanilla is all about body and warmth. We use both vanilla extract and vanilla beans from Madagascar which has a profile that is earthy, round, and slightly sweet. Amazing on its own - even better on a slice of apple pie. Pair it with any baked item to attain hero status.

Dark Chocolate Pint
The number one seller in our cafes, the venerable dark chocolate. Bittersweet, earthy with a slightly smokey finish. We call it frozen fudge -- to go any darker is not recommended.

Black & White Cookie Batter Pint
Peanut Butter Mash Pint
Now that's what I call gelato vol 21. Rich peanut butter gelato. salty chocolate covered pretzels. chopped peanut butter cups grooving on monster waves of dulce de leche. Enter the mash pit and jam all night to the sweet soundtrack of an uncompromising youth.
Sorbet Orange Honey Cardamom Pint
*sorbet*Freshly-squeeze oranges with honey to add warmth and a pinch of cardamom for spice and complexity. You've never had a glass or orange juice like this.
Dulce de Leche & Cookies Pint
Dulce de Leche & Cookies is a uniquely Argentine gelato flavor. The flavor itself is cream base with ribbons of dulce de leche and chocolate pearls folded in. It's a love song to the great milk and dulce de leche of Argentina and a staple of gelato parlors in Argentina.

Lovely coffee shop but $5.20 for a croissant?? Seriously? The coffee is great, the service is lovely and the atmosphere is friendly. I found the palce to be a bit expensive but it's probably average by DC standards and the place was quite busy, so kudos to them on that.

Nice quiet place for a coffee. Stopped in for our morning coffee before starting the day. This was a good choice!

The staff were friendly, informative and quick.

We ordered the Dulce De Leche and Pumpkin Spice Latte (w/ oat milk). The presentation was good and the taste was even better.

What a gem! We were in the area looking for something sweet after dinner and were lucky enough to find Dolcezza. The atmosphere and staff were top shelf, but the gelato was the star here. All four flavors we tried (two flavors in a small) were outstanding! If you’re anywhere near Dupont Circle, find this place and go there without delay!
