I ordered my wedding cake from these lovely ladies and it turned out stunningly! I just gave a simple description of what I was looking for and the flavor, and they exceeded my expectations. The cake was moist and flavorful, and it was also so beautifully decorated! Not to mention, the price for a custom cake is competitive and reasonable. The cake ended up feeding more guests that we actually had, so ppl could get 2nds.

I absolutely love the food and coffee! You can tell they put their heart and soul into everything there. Always bringing my family/friends here!

Always love stoping in for chai latte or caramel iced coffee. I love their specials too! Always sooo good

My only complaint would be that it is very costly, at minimum for two people for a sandwich and coffee, I spend $40. Although I know a lot is sourced locally and high quality so of course that is probably why but would be stoping in daily if it were a tiny bit more affordable. Either way grateful to have such an amazing coffee spot in town.

Although a very cute and friendly location I am very disappointed by my lunch. I ordered for the first time today and a half a sandwich and a vanilla latte cost me over $19 and my sandwich was completely soggy and falling apart with minutes so the bread was inedible and the chicken was chewy and rubbery. I even tried just eating the chicken separately and I couldn’t chew through it. My latte was so excessively sweet I couldn’t drink it either.I’m sure you have good food and the staff was very friendly even in a lunch rush but prices are too high and attention to ensuring the food is cooked and served properly. $20 is a lot to literally throw away.

My daughter bought her wedding cake here. It was so delicious and beautiful that the next year when I needed a cake for her baby shower, we returned. They were so friendly and accommodating, willing to personalize and customize within reason. The cake was gorgeous and just as yummy as the wedding cake. When I went to pick it up, the dining area was full and the counter looked so inviting. A quality establishment and one I will definitely go back to again and again!

A quaint little gem in downtown Olean. The food is excellent, and my cappuccino was top-notch. There's not a lot of seating, but that adds to the ambiance of the place. Friendly staff and quick service.

This little cafe was my saving grace on a recent trip to Olean. I discovered when I tried to log on to the hotel’s Wi-Fi that my VPN couldn’t be used on unsecured Wi-Fi, so I booked it to La Dolce Vita, which is a delightfully charming place to post up for a few hours.

I sampled a good bit of the menu in my ~6 hours or so that I was there, and the cafe seemed to be popular with the locals around breakfast and lunch, seeing increased traffic at both times. That’s a good sign of a quality place!

Their coffee was excellent, and Angelica at the front counter was effervescent in her work. The baked goods are drool-worthy. I got a pumpkin scone, apple twist, and a lemon-blueberry sugar cookie that was the best cookie I’ve ever had in 32 years on this planet. They were so good that I went back and got three more for the road and to share with family when I get to Buffalo, NY. They also have a small section up front featuring locally crafter goods!

That’s a lot of words to say something very simple: go here if you’re in Olean or the surrounding areas and need good coffee, a lovely atmosphere, delicious food…or secure Wi-Fi. Just be sure to tip the staff and thank them for their generosity!
