I ordered an iced horchata coffee that was thick, creamy, and thoroughly satisfying. We also tried the strawberry banana smoothie, which proved to be incredibly refreshing. I will definitely visit this establishment again. read more

The ordering is pretty chaotic. One place to order and pay yet no clear line. I ordered the Mediterranean vegan sandwich ( didn't come with a side) It was tasty but not filling. The total came to about $86 for the four of us to eat (2adults & 2kids). My husband got the tuna melt (no side included). It was "okay." The kids got a hot dog ($10!) and a waffle with scrambled eggs. My daughter couldn't finish the waffle so we asked for a Togo box but were handed a paper bag. I explained we needed something to put the waffle and syrup in. Received a piece of wrapping paper. We also asked for water for our order but were told we had to purchase water. The last thing I didn't like was paying $6 for the smallest piece of vegan baklava. It was tasty, but tiny (you could eat it in one bite!) I wish I would have taken a picture before I ate it The plus side was that there were a variety of options and a nice picnic area outside to eat at. read more

This cafe is a nice small spot. Prices are reasonable and the customer service is great. Large menu. Came here last night for dinner and had a tuna melt. It was above average. Some flavor but somewhat dry. However, the menu looked so promising I came back this morning for brunch. I ordered the waffle with cinnamon. While my friend got an açaí bowl. Both were amazing. Full of flavor. Well worth it. So glad we came back and have this cafe on our list for the next time we are in town. read more

Chipotle chicken sandwich didn't have any chipotle sauce in it. Came out cold like it had been sitting there for a while, the server said she was calling my number, but we did not hear her calling the number. Outdoor seating which is fine, however too many birds around. So be aware. If negative stars was an option, they would get -5. But since, it's not an option, 1 star, just because the danish sausage was ok. Service could be better. You're better off with the place next door, Panino. Sandwiches look better, probably taste better and service most likely better. read more

We stopped by during our visit to Solvang. It's a nice place, but the prices are way too high. I understand it's a tourist spot, but even by that standard, it's overpriced. My wife bought a small piece of baklava, smaller than a chicken nugget, for $5. That was the most expensive baklava we've ever bought. So, be sure to ask the price first and consider avoiding this place if you can. read more

How delightful! Loved the coffee, bagel breakfast sandwiches and the baklalva is out of this world! I was greeted by the owner who clearly has a passion for what he provides. Looking forward to my next visit!!!! read more

Great place to start your day in solvang. Very good quality juice and celebs come by as you'll see. Little gem in town.

Lovely place! Delicious ice cream; boasting lots of flavors. There is a shady outdoor area to enjoy.

Always our first stop on any trip to Solvang. Everything is fresh and unique. Highest quality ever, some organic and locally sourced. Best coffee in town by far (Arabic was great as is bulletproof.) Food is exceptional too, love the Danish sausage breakfast. Ice cream is good, even Arnold Schwarzenegger is a regular here for that, you can see the pictures of him eating it! read more

Do yourself a favor and skip the pastries! Extremely overpriced! Stale, just wrong! paid 75.00 for Turkish coffee and 5 pastries! Ridiculous! read more

They had amazing veg/vegan options, with exceptional quality hummus and mango sorbet. The people running it were clearly incredibly passionate about making food, which is an incredibly nice thing on our era of low quality fast food. The seating area within the restaurant itself was wonderful, and the baklava was homemade! A great experience and the pita with hummus is a must eat. read more

Rude service, overpriced food, denied me a to-go box claiming it costs them $1.50. What a joke of a restaurant. Definitely avoid

Walked by here the other day and saw they had cheese kunafa so i popped in. i ordered and was shocked when it came out to $19....i thought to myself maybe its pretty big so im sure it will be worth it. nope! i couldn't believe i had just paid almost $20 for a small circle of kunafa. it tasted good even reheated but the amount you get for what you paid is crazy. service was a bit awkward and cold and everything else seemed pretty pricy. would not go back. read more

The hidden gem of Solvang! I come here every morning when I stay in Solvang every few months Sam, the owner, makes the best cappuccino uses the best beans on the planet the best oat milk, and the best grind. Whether you get a Turkish coffee, latte or cappuccino you will not be disappointed. and I always get the Middle Eastern sweets they have which taste just like my mom used to make and the Beirut bagel is much better than any avocado toast on the planet with Lebne (kefir cheese) olives and whatever magical drizzle he puts on it. You can't go wrong here. read more

Had my first Turkish coffee experience here and wow... I was not prepared for how good it would be! The flavors were unlike anything I've ever had -- fruity, sweet, slightly bitter, and absolutely delicious. I can't even fully describe it, but I'm hooked. Paired it with a fig and pistachio bar that was equally amazing. Such a perfect treat to start your morning or give your afternoon a boost. Cozy spot, friendly service, and definitely a must-try if you're in Solvang. read more

Dolce Vita is overpriced for what it delivers. With an overwhelming menu, many dishes end up mediocre rather than memorable. Focusing on fewer items and perfecting them could elevate quality, create consistency, and give customers something truly worth returning for. read more

As an expat, its simple, you hear Fairouz and see a Lebanese flag, you have to support the business. But unfortunately it's very over priced for what it is. Turkish coffee for 24$ is crazy. I was gonna eat the coffee grounds to get my money's worth. Lol read more

The kunafa here was some of the best I've had in the county-- and the coffee was absolutely fantastic. Paired with the setting, this spot is one I hope to return to some day. The brother and sister that own the shop blessed my trip with their talent and their service. read more

The food, Baklava, was already in a box. There was way too much honey, the top was falling off before taking a bite. Could've done better. The service was spotty. We stood there for about a minute while three workers were just standing there talking. We finally got someone to come over, husband got a small baklava gelato, I got a cinnamon honey latte. They barely gave him any gelato and my latte had way too much cinnamon to the point that it stuck to the back of my throat and the temperature was where I could just drink it. The ambiance was very somber. Only the three workers talking amongst themselves. Will never go here again. read more

Came into this little spot to try some Baklava, I would definitely say skip this place as it is wayyy overpriced. I paid $25 for 2 pieces of baklava. Tase wise it was okay, I've had better. Also the workers weren't welcoming at all. They all seemed over worked and annoyed. The lady in front of me kindly asked for a receipt and the worker rudely said 'well you haven't even paid yet'. read more

A cute little cafe - my partner and I love coming here whenever we're visiting Solvang. The first time we visited Cafe Dolce was back in December 2023 and we were looking for a quick pick me up as it was a little late and we were about to make the trip back home to SLO county. We stumbled upon this cute cafe and was enchanted with the different ice cream and different drink menus. We've gone here a total of five times now, and every time we've visited, we have been treated very kindly and had amazing service. Though the protein smoothie takes awhile, it's very tasty and filling. I'm usually getting a smoothie as well, but today (4/2024) I decided on getting an iced white mocha with oat milk. It was pretty good but I wish it had a little more mocha in it. Though we've only gotten their drinks and frozen desserts, we plan on coming back to possibly try their sandwiches and soups! I also noticed they had acai bowls on their menu! There's so many options that I gotta come back and try - keep an eye out for updates haha! Also, if you visit around the evening time, they turn on these beautiful fairy lights and it makes their outdoor area so enchanting! read more

Owner was so sweet. Made my coffee latte "kids temp" like I asked. Hubs and I shared the everything bagel. Real New York bagel (shipped fresh overnight), local eggs with fresh ingredients, bacon, avocado, tomatoes. (only $15!). read more

First of all, terrible service and very poor English so hard to understand what your even ordering. Secondly, OVERPRICED AS HELL 20 dollars for 5 strawberries is crazy there also stingy with there toppings of the dubai strawberries. Lastly, they are unsanitary which is a great way to immediately lose your appetite. Definitely skip this place on your trip! read more

"No seat for you!" That's basically what the seat-nazi said to us when we sat down at the courtyard in front of Cafe Dolce. We came here to get sandwiches from Panino and a dessert from Cafe Dolce -- but didn't make it that far because this rude employee made us abandon our table before we even got our sandwiches. There's no signs or any other indications that this courtyard is exclusive to Cafe Dolce customers. It looks like it's meant to be shared by all of the businesses around it, so when we got our order in at Panino (next door) we sat down in the forbidden courtyard to wait. About 5 minutes later, he evicted us -- even though there were plenty of other vacant tables in "his" courtyard. Now we know why! We were planning to get ice cream and some pastries from Cafe Dulce after our sandwiches, but not after being treated like that. Instead, we found another bakery about a block away. read more

FOOD: We ordered the nutella baklava, dubai chocolate baklava and pistachio coconut hot chocolate and all of them were delicious. The nutella was so rich and too sweet for me but it was still very yummy. The dubai chocolate was more of my taste and just the right sweetness. The hot chocolates were so good and creamy! I think the coconut couldn't been in smaller chunks for it to be easier to drink than big long strips that could get stuck on the lid of the cup or be a choking hazard with some young kids. Prices of the baklava is very expensive. 3 hot chocolates and 3 baklavas was $63 lol. Thats crazy. The hot choco was $8 (+$1 for almond/oatmilk). Not sure how much the baklava went for but possibly $8-$12 range? Waaaay too much in my opinion. There's Lokum in SLO that sells different types of baklava that sells for $3-$5 per piece. Plenty of other options like acai bowls, ice cream, shave ice, smoothies, boba, breakfast items served all day, sandwiches and plenty more. SERVICE: Quick and easy ordering. Strictly no samples of the ice creams which was fine. It's a family business after all. AMBIANCE: Couple of tables and chairs inside the store but plenty of outside seatings that share with other stores. Clean store but not a big space inside for bigger parties. Definitely recommend checking it out tourist or local. Will definitely come back to try their other menu items. Prices seem to be more tourist prices so just be aware when ordering the baklavas (ask before ordering). Support local! read more

I really enjoyed this place. My goal was to try the pancake house but there was a long line, and we were starving, so we ended up here. I'm so glad we did. The latte and cold brew were just perfect! I ordered avocado toast and to be honest with you all, it was delicious! The eggs reminded me of my mom's cooking. My hubby ordered the veggie omelette and it was yummy. My daughter had the bagel! Superb place to visit! When you're there, please stop by. The food is great, pastries are delicious and exquisite. I am definitely coming back! Ah don't forget to have the waffles! Yum yum! Last but not least, the place is clean with an outdoor patio! Service is great as well. Must visit! read more

Cafe Dolce - Ignore my bite but this thing was $8.95 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Solvang, California

I'm all for supporting small businesses but I expect to get what I pay for. We just had the most disappointing experience at Cafe Dolce. We ordered a single gelato (but charged for double), a Dubai gelato (which was 1/4 cup of gelato with a teaspoon of toppings), a cup of chocolate "covered" strawberries (with hardly any chocolate but got charged for Dubai strawberries) and a juice box. They charged us over $50 for these items! When we questioned the charge, they just shrugged their shoulders. Unless you want to be overcharged and underwhelmed, find another place to get your gelato and strawberries! read more
