Dolce Amar Sweets to Love Bakery and cafe

We absolutely loved working with Dolce Amar Sweets! Not only was the dessert stunning but it was also incredibly delicious. Our couple couldn’t stop raving about how much they loved it! The design perfectly matched the vision and overall aesthetic, and the flavors were spot-on. The team was also wonderful to coordinate with, responsive, professional, and so clearly passionate about what they do. We’d happily recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful and memorable wedding cake or dessert display!

We ordered a two tier wedding cake and some vegan cupcakes. Although the cake taste was pretty good, our experience with Dolce Amar was overall negative. Here is why:

We picked a picture from their booklet and our cake did not match it all. 1. The cake has a burgundy palette but we specifically picked blush pink to match our theme 2. The base of the cake is plain white when the design had broad pink paint strokes across the entirety of the cake.

What bothered me most is the lack of transparency. They didn't give any price range until we placed the order. My MIL sent several emails, but never got a clear response. The owner only sent her 4 emails, an invoice for cake tasting, an invoice for paying the cake and two for the final confirmation.

When we received the final invoice, it was itemized with 1. Custom cake - $850 and 2. Cupcakes - $30.90. We had already paid $70 for the cake tasting in August and their website indicates that it can be credited to our order. When asked about adding this credit in our invoice, they told that it was already priced in. So the cake cost was actually $850 + $70 = $920. Also, a couple weeks before the wedding, Raffaella wanted us to pay extra for the buttercream flower, which my MIL had already requested when she ordered the cake. After showing her the original order email, she agreed to drop that extra charge.

All in all, we wish we didn't take our venue’s recommendation to use this vendor.

Edit:
I never said 2 cupcakes for 30.90. I said 2. Cupcakes as I was itemizing the invoice. The owner misread it and blamed me. I had also attached a picture of the invoice clearly showing 6 cupcakes as well.

We ordered our wedding cake and additional mini desserts through Raffaella for our wedding. Everything was absolutely delicious and our guests were raving about all of the desserts! Any time we're in the area we pop in for coffee, and the homemade bread is a must!

We ordered our wedding cake from Dolce Amar in Groton, and it was absolutely perfect! Simple yet so elegant, the cake was not only stunning to look at but also incredibly delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how amazing it was.

It was so good that we’re already planning to go back soon to get a mini version just for ourselves!

Thank you to the team at Dolce Amar for creating something so beautiful and memorable for our special day. We are so grateful and can’t wait to return for future celebrations.

I got three things, a plain croissant, a cinnamon bun, and a gluten-free personal Bundt cake. Both the croissant and the cinnamon bun tasted like they had some dish soap or chemical residue on them. The Bundt cake was fine. I thought maybe the croissant got contaminated somehow on my end, but the cinnamon bun went straight into the box and I only ate it with a knife and fork, so it definitely shouldn’t have. It just had that soapy taste, which was a bit disappointing.

Amazing desserts. Service really slow though. Took 25 min to order a cup of drip coffee and pre-made energy ball to go. Need more staffing!

We had our wedding cake done here and are just amazed. Starting off with our tasting - Raffaela and team were exceptional. We had such a wonderful experience trying our options and putting together our dream cake. All the way to the end result which is our BEAUTIFUL cake. Raffaela listened whole heartedly to our vision and made our dream cake a reality. Not only was it the dreamiest cake ever, but it tasted absolutely amazing. Thank you Dolce Amar!!! You are all so wonderful.

Excellent cafe and bakery. They have creative and fun seasonal specials, and a variety of desserts and bakery items daily. You pay a little bit more, but you're buying from a small, local business with quality food and great customer service. Love going here!

High quality. Cupcakes excellent, quiche excellent, macarons unbelievable.

Excellent food, but a little pricey. $30 for six chocolate covered strawberries.

Hands down the best coffee/espresso drinks. Pastries are amazing and baristas are kind and very professional

Loved it so much. Nice, clean and high quality food
