The avocado toast was good but seemed overpriced. The bad: Lots of the items in the case are not properly labeled and you can't always tell what they are or what's in them. The staff can be unfriendly and aren't able to describe what's in the case either.

You walk into a huge assortment of fresh baked goods that were no doubt delicious. We found a table and ordered some drinks while we waited for the rest of our group. I had a hot dirty chai. It was sweet and tasty, but not hot enough. I'm thinking the iced would have been better. No stars removed though because when the food came, I was blown away. I ordered the lox on sourdough and a side salad. The plate was beautifully presented. I dug into the salad first and OMG! The dressing was magical. It was bursting with fresh flavors, bright lemon zest, maybe a hint of Dijon. It was so good. I'm would order the salad over and over if I could, but salads aren't on the menu. The main course was equally mind blowing. The bread was soft and chewy, the salmon was accompanied by lots of capers, dill, cream cheese, and cucumbers. It was a perfect combination. My other complaint is that they don't open earlier, but I also don't live here so I can't be too mad. I will visit again!

Cute Little Bakery with plenty of options! This is…read moredefinitely a must try if you have not gone. Starting with the inflatable Bakery waving you in, this is a welcoming establishment. The young woman who greeted us and attended to us was very courteous. She answered all our questions. Although we went a little late in the day they still were rolling out fresh bread. We didn't get much for our first time, we wanted to see if it was good. It does not disappoint. Even though it is far from where we stay it was definitely worth the drive. (My review was written days later) We have gone back since and brought a lot for the drive back home to Chicago! You know is good when we are taking it to go LOL

I wrote this for a class assignment back in 2014 I called it a "Healthy Gem In Downtown Laredo" and…read moreI happen to stumble across it today in 2022 and decided to post it as a review. Everything stated was base off of my experience, I hope you find it useful. If you are looking for a great place to grab a bite other than Mcdonald's or any other fast food joint, you have to stop by Caffe Dolce. It's the place to be during your lunch hour or just to grab a bite to go. Luckily for me as I am currently attending Laredo Community College its close by. The overall look from the outside is similar to an older cottage home in New Orleans, around the French quarter area; it definitely does not feel like it's in Laredo. Its on a main street and its surrounded by trees. There's also an outside porch with such beautiful scenery feels like home, if the weather was right it would be a perfect spot to study or even hang out with a few friends outside. Let me start off with my experience at Caffe Dolce , the service was outstanding, restaurant looked very clean. Since it was my first time eating there, I wasn't sure what to try so I asked the cashier and he was so detailed with each selection on the menu I wanted to order everything! Every single item on the menu was healthy. The overall feeling of the discovered gem was really relaxing, as I waited for my food I looked at the art they had on display to be honest the art wasn't really my cup of tea but it was done right, I mean the details in the artwork was astounding who would've thought Laredo had such talent hidden away in downtown. My food came out pretty quick, I was able to smell the herbs used the aroma infused my my area, the presentation was unique I ordered a Panini "MAT" which consisted of Mozzarella, Asparagus and Turkey on a croissant. I felt not only good about my choice but the price was right. Also knowing that it was healthy also made me feel even better about trying Caffe Dolce. I also tried their all-natural cucumber lemonade and let me tell you it was so refreshing and tasty I was able to taste the lemon and the cucumber, and for me that's key in knowing that it is as natural as they say trust me I can tell, Anyhow It was paired up perfectly with the weather and my Panini.The order also came with a side, which was a pasta salad covered with pesto sauce looked delicious I couldn't wait to taste it . Once I took my first bite I knew I was eating something out of this world. Not only was it delicious the food is superb!, it was very satisfying to all my taste buds, words just can't describe all the flavors that my tongue was experiencing, my belly was happy and i was satisfied as i'm writing this as i remember my mouth is getting watery! I honestly felt as if I discovered a gem in Laredo abesides the normal tacos and more tacos it was different than just any restaurant in downtown. As I sat there and enjoyed my juicy Panini I was able to relax and read my Grassroots book, the waiter was also pretty discreet not to interrupt me but he still stopped by to see if I needed anything. I have to tell you if you are in the downtown area you have to stop by caffe Dolce it's a must! Trust me you will not regret the atmosphere is perfect for both young and older adults, I really hope that this business stays around for many years to come. I will definitely be a returning customer.

I don't expect a smile, to each their own, BUT I was asking questions about the menu, and she would just walk away. I made the line, I waited for my turn for her to make it seem as I was giving her more work or being a bother. I didn't get her name but she is the skinny girl. In addition, the establishment is small, so there is no door between the kitchen and the counter, so the blender was heard. With the blender noise and the customers talking; I couldn't hear/understand the employee. HORRIBLE!! Lastly, this is MY 2 cents, the decor found on the table is nice YET the wall decor are not appropriate for the establishment. No need to have frames that say Just DIY... especially when your customers are from all areas and stop by to the establishment to enjoy a meal despite what is transpiring in life or having lost someone by suicide. There is a snack place right next door. That one is AMAZING!

I was told its a recipe from a bakery that is now closed but was very popular over in the St. Peter's neighborhood. It was so good. Some people think that semita means "semite bread" and reflects the food and ethnicity of the early settlers of Northern Mexico and Laredo. There are tables and chairs in the middle of the panaderia and depending on what time of day you go, you might run into people you know who are enjoying good bread and coffee (the coffee is pretty good too.).
