Gem in Manassas. Most pastries end up being disappointing or made in a factory like in most restaurants but you can see them making it themselves. So glad I found a dessert place nearby

Nice little shop for desserts, the cakes and flan were moist and not overly sweet. Customer service was good. Empanadas are flaky and yummy!

I’ve been coming to Dolce Amore Sweets for a while now, and it never disappoints! The food is always incredibly fresh and delicious. I'm a huge fan of their chicken salad sandwich and the pan con tamal, but the empanada de lomo saltado is hands-down my favorite item on the menu. The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming, and it’s clear that this is a genuine, great spot run by wonderful people. A true gem!

My favorite coffee spot in Manassas! The coffee in the cookie cup is a must-try—so fun and delicious. I couldn’t leave without grabbing some of my favorite desserts too. Everything tastes homemade and full of love. The service is always amazing and welcoming, and makes you feel right at home. Always a treat coming here!

Dulce Amore - Virginia As a Peruvian, I’m always on the lookout for places that bring the authentic taste of home and Dulce Amore did not disappoint!
It was my first time trying it, and my friend (who's a big fan) took me for breakfast. We had pan con chicharrón and tamal peruano, and everything was absolutely delicious. I also took home some chiffon cake and an alfajor each bite reminded me of Peru.
The service was warm and friendly, and the decor was adorable, full of charm and positive messages. Such a lovely experience I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Virginia!

The cake made by Dolce Amore for our baby shower was exceptional! A big thanks to Jennifer for her customer service and communication. We fed 30 hungry guests and everyone loved it.

This quaint, cozy and pleasant establishment is a refreshing alternative to Panera and Starbucks! The décor is very bright, welcoming and cheerful. The staff is very friendly and attentive. It seemed very clean and well maintained and smelled wonderful. Just some background information on my review. I like to read the reviews prior to me writing mine just to fill in any gaps that may be helpful. I liked to be very detailed to help readers make an informed decision. When I started to read the one star reviews I was starting to get concerned. Albeit my purchase was not a meal or cake. I ordered a latte and as a larger individual I succumbed to the temptation of the display cases of cakes, and other eye appealing baked goods. The latte was very good and had an artistic flair, the trademark is a heart with the steamed milk for these baristas! The service was by far better than the prior mentioned national chains and the coffee perhaps several fold better if you have a good understanding as to why Starbucks coffee is more bitter(it is not for the stronger caffeine or bolder taste, it is to homogenize the beans to get the consistent flavor because they are over roasted [something like that not sure how else to explain it]). At any rate the coffee or latte to be precise was above average and any lacking in quality was certainly made up for by the pleasant barista and the atmosphere of the bakery. I also had the triple chocolate mousse. I thought it was certainly above average and a fair value for the price, but then again I was not expecting a 5 star or even a 1 star Michelin mousse. If you want something different with some out of the norm offerings give it a try. It has a Peruvian twist to it so I was not familiar with everything there, but to me good carrot cake is good carrot cake and that is what I am going to try my next visit there. As for food poisoning, it has been a few hours since leaving there and no signs of sickness, food poison etc. If that changes I will report back here. But if not I will be a repeat customer. Hope this helps and you enjoyed the read!
Needed a last minute tres leches cake and family loved it. Have been looking for alfajores around the area, finally found my go to spot! BOMB. Love their appreciation for Jesus, thank you!

The dolce de leche cake was delicious! Everyone in the family enjoyed it. We will be ordering again.

My mother ordered a chocolate tres leches cake for my grandmother's 93rd birthday. As soon as we cut into it, parts of the cake were tough and dry versus others that were wet like it should be. Also, 3 guests said there was a very strong aftertaste, and 70% of the guests only ate a couple bites and left it on the table. Maybe the baker should work on their technique for soaking the cake, and too much extract may have been used since even I had a drying, almost itchy feeling in my throat after trying it. The decoration of the cake was fine but the jelly of the fruit leaked around the top.

We love the food and pastries from Dolce Amore. Every time we go there everyone is so nice and helpful. We decided to order a cake for my son's 2nd birthday and it was amazing. The owner help me out so much to figure out the right portions and help with the flavors they offered. When we got the cake it was great and exceeded our expectations and it was delicious. All of my family loved it even my aunt that is not big into sweets was asking for more.

Love the place! The service and the food, I recommend the pan con chicharrón, the Butifarra sandwich & the chicken sandwich..they are delicious and my favorites! Love the chocolate cake, the chiffon cake, rosquitas, chocotejas, leche asada. I love the strawberry ice cream & the lucuma ice cream. The passion fruit dessert is delicious!Haven’t tried the strawberry nor the Lucuma popsicles yet will try them next time! I am sure I will love them too. What’s not to like, Jennifer, the owner is a great baker! You want Peruvian dessert then this is the place to treat yourself! 😃
