Dolci Gelati Cafe Reviews
I love the hot cocoa from Dolci Gelati at the National Zoo for Zoo Lights. I bought 1 for me and 1 for a friend & went back again for a second night for more on the last night of Zoo Lights. Whipped cream, chocolate & caramel syrup is added to the top. It’s the best treat on a cold winter night or day at the zoo. Thank you!! I’ll keep coming back & bring friends.

Dolci Gelati Cafe is a cozy gelato spot known for its seasonal flavors and friendly service. Visitors can sample flavors before ordering, with favorites like pumpkin pie, hazelnut, pistachio, and dark chocolate. The gelato is creamy and rich, with options for everyone, including non-dairy choices like vegan dark chocolate. Located within walking distance of the waterfront, it is a perfect dessert destination after dinner in old town Alexandria. The generous scoop sizes ensure a satisfying treat for all, with powerful and delicious flavors that taste just like described, such as banana Nutella, espresso, and mojito, and unique flavors like lemon gelato that feels like summer in a spoon.
