    This review should have been posted a few weeks ago but my schedule didn't allow me to actually sit…read morestill to do so ...I wanted to ensure I had the time to truly explain how amazing my experience has been with this Company. To start, I live in Philly & my daughter was Penn State Altoona at the time & on 4/26/26 she turned 20yrs old and this was the first time I wasn't going to celebrating with her and being hands on with all the plans. But with the secret help of her College Friends I was able to plan an amazing Birthday weekend in state college for all of them to enjoy but the most stressful thing was find her the perfect Cake!! Her friends wanted to go to pick one up from a Supermarket but because I wasn't going to be there I wanted to make everything about her Bday super special and a market cake wasn't going to work unfortunately in addition they were college kids with no vehicles I didn't want to put that taste on them and it may or many not get done. I was now less then 2wks from her Bday weekend and just now starting the search for the perfect "I'm sorry Mommy couldn't be there but hopefully this amazingly crafted artwork now called your Bday Cake makes up for it" type of Cake. So my 3-4hrs long search begun..I needed to find a Bakery that could make her a cake that not only looked good but tastes even better (I have been disappointed in the past so my research was on the First 48 level, ...a bad cake can ruin entire Bday in my opinion. In addition, I needed discreet delivery services. After hours of searching, reading reviews & scanning every social media accounts as well as any and all websites that mentioned their names to ensure all T's were crossed and the reviews were actually verified by real people before choosing Dolce Vita Desserts. Their designs were all so creative & beautifully done and after emailing a few times with Anthony he not only confirmed my specific request but he also ensure that they could/would customize to design I preferred..so I took two Of their designs (because I loved them both and couldn't decide one over the other) and made it one :) I also explained to Anthony my need desperately need for delivery ..( their site mentioned how delivery was limited) I was willing to send it as uber package delivery even I was praying I wouldn't have to do that. But, Anthony not only approved my delivery he also advised me to touch bases with the Hotel staff and provide them with the box dimensions to ensure their fridge would be able fit/store and also gave specifics on how to properly store ...information I didn't even think to consider. I whole heartily appreciate all that Anthony has done to help make my daughter's Birthday super special. Everything was executed seamlessly, even down to the delivery confirmation email I received from Both Dolce & the Hotel. My daughter not only loved her surprise bday weekend but she was in love with her cake!! I ordered the 6" inch round white cake with strawberry preserves. I thought that since only my daughter & 3 of her friends were celebrating with her that they would take the left over cake to share with others at their dorm but she told me the cake was so good they devoured it. Not one crumb was left. Which was done after making a photo shoot with the cake! She loved everything about that cake! My only regret...is the fact that I wasn't able to try it myself! I recommend Dolce Vita Desserts to every one! You won't be disappointed!!

    I've ordered from here multiple times and always enjoy the desserts. I've done a customer birthday…read morecake and also ordered cupcakes, and honestly have no complaints. The location is clean, staff are friendly, and prices feel fair for quality of dessert. I will continue to order from this bakery when an occasion arises!

    Geeat cupcakes! The staff at the Lebanon location are always genuine and kind. We love going to…read morethis location! Awesome special flavors that symbolizes summer right now. The location has some homage to Lebanon and it is great for serving up a great party atmosphere! We got Caramel Millionaire, Peanut Butter Oreo and Vanilla Party for our daughter! All 3 were a hit and delicious! $42 dollars for a dozen cupcakes is what holds this back from a 5 star! Love their product, but wow that can add up they are a delicious cupcake though!

    Lancaster Cupcake in Lebanon is my dangerous little weekly habit, and honestly? Zero regrets. Their…read morecupcakes are hands-down the most flavorful, soft, decadent little masterpieces I've ever tasted. I have never had a bad flavor here. Not once. My year-round ride-or-die is the Strawberry Champagne... dreamy, sweet, a little bougie, and absolutely addictive. But the current seasonal obsession (pictured) is the Cranberry Orange and I am not kidding... it is obsession-level good. I'm already plotting to buy a dozen to freeze so Future Me can still thrive when the seasonal menu changes. The whole atmosphere? Gorgeous. Classy. Bright. Feels like you walked into the Pinterest board of a person who actually has their life together. And if you haven't tried a Cupcake Split, stop reading this and go fix your life. It's the perfect half-cupcake, half-soft-serve combo with fun toppings that make you feel like a kid again. This one is Cranberry Orange with vanilla soft serve and chocolate shavings, and I need it framed on my wall. Friendly staff, stunning space, ridiculous desserts... Yeah. You'll probably catch me in here at least once a week. Don't judge me -- judge the cupcakes for being irresistible.

    Headed back to the airport from a weekend of camping in the Poconos and just wanted something quick…read moreand delicious. My hotel told me that it was worth the 15 minute drive out of my way to visit Donut N Joe's... and boy they were not lying! I was a little worried they might be picked over when I arrived around 10, but they still had a really good selection; things like coconut custard which I enjoyed along with a chocolate cake doughnut that was the best I've ever had. They've also got chocolate iced, Boston cream, lemon filled, cherry - filled you name it and I think they probably got you covered. If not, the breakfast sandwiches I saw coming out of the kitchen were pretty phenomenal looking. They have egg and cheese, bacon and cheese sausage pork roll, egg and cheese bagels, again it's gonna be hard for anyone to be disappointed here. Unfortunately, they were out of the other coconut that is topped with caramel drizzle and some other goodies, but I left fat, happy and with a big old honkin' smile on my face. The staff is super friendly, the place was immaculate and I'm surprised they even had any product left when I left because it was a constant line out the door. I will certainly add this to my route for next year's camping trip. Hopefully on the way over I can pick some up for our group to enjoy as a whole. DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS DONUT SHOP! I promise you it won't be disappointed, They've only been in business for two years and I believe she said they opened another location too, that this was hands-down the best donut experience I've ever had in my 65 years. And not saying quite a bit....because this fluffy old bag loves a good doughnut and delicious coffee.

    Lazy Sunday. Woke-up-at-1-p.m. kind of Sunday. Tried to…read morewrestle myself out of bed to get to Ressler's Bagels, but found out it closed at 1. What can I say, early bird gets the worm, and I never get the worm. So I pulled up Yelp looking for a comparable egg sandwich and found Dough N Joe. I'd been meaning to try their donuts anyway, but saw they had breakfast sandwiches, so I had to bust out and go. Funny enough, I pass one near work all the time and thought that's where I was headed, but GPS took me to Mechanicsburg. C'est la vie. I like a nice little Sunday drive, so here we are. Got there close to closing, pretty quiet, nobody really in there, donut selection a little picked through. but I grabbed an egg sandwich on bagel with cream cheese, a custard donut, and a cherry cake donut, then bounced. Sat in the car and started eating the sandwich while driving, which is a type of love language. Really good sandwich. Now, it wasn't quite the loaded, gooey, dripping egg sandwich my 1 p.m. soul was seeking, pepperoncinis, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, the whole artistic gooey goodness. It wasn't that. But it was really good. I definitely wouldn't call it standard fare. The ingredients were quality, the chew of the bagel was excellent, and I can still remember biting into that thing. It just wasn't the exact sandwich fantasy I woke up chasing. But the real tour de force. the reason you go to Dough & Joe is the donuts honey. That cherry cake donut? Big, Big, Big Fluffy. Airy. Cakey. Cherry. So good. Seriously, everything about it was so good. And look, I'm on a little health kick right now, so homeboy can't be eating giant cherry cake donuts all the time. I had to stick my neck out a little. when in Rome. Had a guilty conscience about it. Worth it. #cheatmeal Completely worth it. Highly advise you go. Highly advise you get the donuts. I also got a custard one that the fat boy in me wants to demolish, but I may hand it to my roommate because honey... it is not on the meal plan. You understand. Only thing I can knock is I wish I'd gone during peak morning energy. I showed up in my weird late-boy window, and I feel like I missed the full ambiance--the cases packed, espresso machine hissing, people piling in, the Mechanicsburg morning hustle. I bet that version of this place is its own kind of magic. So I'm giving Dough & Joe 4 out of 5 stars. Docking one star only because I didn't get to experience the full New-York-hustle-bustle-in-a-Mechanicsburg-morning fantasy.
