After being at the Midtown location on Thursday night for dinner, I could not stop thinking about the Chocolate Croissant. This morning I got up early and drove out to the Mayberry landing location to be greeted again by the owner, Claudio and he introduced me to his daughter Melissa, she is the baker in the family! The Caffe is well decorated and easy access from the parking lot! They have indoor and outdoor sitting. As you walk in to order there are two beautiful cases of deserts and breakfast/lunch items. Also a menu to order from such as breakfast sandwiches, I ordered the Ham, Cheese, Egg croissant for my husband. He couldn't believe how big it was. He is saving half for tomorrow. Same with my chocolate croissant I had Melissa cut it in half to enjoy on Mother's Day it was absolutely delicious. I had to sneak a bite before I left the café before I drove home. I just could not wait. Also I got a lemon torte for later. All the food looks scrumptious and if you're looking for an authentic Italian bakery look no further this is the place for you! read more

Beautiful decor. Really nice people. Cute area. Gives a really nice neighborhood vibe. But I just didn't like the food. The sandwich bread and ingredients just didn't taste fresh. The pastries I had tasted like it was made a while ago. Maybe I'm expecting too much, but given the other reviews I just expected a lot more. Really want to love this place, but sadly don't. read more

Dolce Caffe is such a cute spot. The staff was great and super helpful, which made the experience even better. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so it's a nice place to relax for a bit. There were lots of delicious-looking pastries to choose from. The coffee menu is pretty minimal, but the atmosphere alone makes you want to come back. It's cozy, welcoming, and a great place to stop by for a treat. read more

Dolce Caffe - Sunday bubbly - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Its a super cute shop. Its small in the inside and a good place to take a small group or have a mini date. They had a lotnofnthings sold out by the time we came, but they had a lot of good options to pick from. The portion tonprice is also nice. I had a cannot, I chose large as the price difference wasn't that much. It was a bit crunchy. That filling was what got me though. With the pistachio. Pure perfection. It was a little messy to eat. Inused my hands to help. So worth it. If anyone has time check them out and head there earlier, so you have more options. read more

First time here and we will definitely be returning customers!! The owner, Melissa, was so sweet and has a very upbeat energy which is wonderful as an owner. You can tell she really enjoys what she does with her family. Also her mom is such a sweet Italian lady. The place is small but super cute. They have many options for pastries and the food was very delicious. My favorite is the caprese salad. Super yummy. Overall great little caffe and we will definitely be back. read more

Came here with my granddaughter and as soon as we walked in I just knew it would be fantastic. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful. My coffee drink was super delicious, and we were given a delicious cookie too because it was our first time there. I had a chai hot drink and my granddaughter got a iced drink. The place had so many treats to choose from too. It was very clean and comforting when you walk in. It is kind of small which makes it more cozy and friendly. Now my granddaughter goes with her bestie too. I will be going here more often and avoiding the big coffee chain stores. read more

Had fruit tart and the shell was so hard. The Black Forest cake was far from what it should be. Would not go again to this overpriced caffe.

Good place, family friendly. Got a chocolate macaron topped with coconut it was good, also got a Bomba, which is pretty much a filled-donut with Nutella, and that was delicious! Coffee was great, strong but not overly bitter. Staff were definitely the best part, they're polite and welcoming. It's a great place for the family, but if you're looking for some peace and quiet, you might want to try earlier in the morning. read more

Dolce Caffe - Fresh Vegetable Tart - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This little cafe is tucked away in Mayberry Landing, in a small courtyard next to Madein. Lot parking is usually easy there, and there are also bicycle racks in the center. Dolce is small, but mighty, with a broad selection of Italian/European pastries and savories. In my experience, Italian bakeries often serve up a sort of colorful but bland, and often dry, range of similarly-tasting cookies. The pastries here are anything but, and there's a really delightful range of options, including gluten-free, from breakfast savories, to doughnuts, to cannoli (chocolate, ricotta, or cream), to cake. I love that I can often find something new to try. The ricotta cookies are not too big and not too sweet. You can comfortably eat there (indoor and outdoor seating) and pair your selections with coffee and tea. Can get a little busy, but service is friendly. They also serve breakfast and lunch, make custom cakes, cater, host private parties, bake holiday pies/breads. Looking forward to also trying out their new midtown location that does tapas and cocktails at night! TIP: Open at 7. Closed on Mondays. read more

Came here for an afternoon pick me up and although the inside is tiny you can just tell it's packed with love! An Adorable family run gem right in the heart of our Northwest neighborhood! Love it! I got the ricotta pistachio for I love all things pistachio and it did not disappoint, it was soooo delicious! Yes I will be back a thousand times over! Fingers crossed I win the giant egg raffle for Easter! What a great idea! The coffee is made fresh and it is piping hot! read more

The beautiful display of pastries and desserts along with the warm welcome from the owners makes it one of those places that gives you instant happiness. It is a bit small and can get crowded during peak times though. We stopped by after a hike on a beautiful day, so we actually opted to sit outside. Claudio, one of the owners offered a heat lamp, but it was actually not needed. He also offered us a complimentary cookie for being first-timers. Now that's Customer Service. I had the most amazing Croissant Breakfast Sandwhich. It was huge, so I asked if I could just get half and they had no problem accomodating my request. I have to say, it has to be the best tasting Croissant I've ever had...so flaky and buttery. SO GOOD!! I also had a Cafe Latte made with Illy coffee. This place is without a doubt a 5/5. read more

The first thing I noticed when I walked in is how nice the seating area is! We sat in a booth and our drink/cookie were given to us quickly. As I drank my chai latte, I realized it's the best chai I've ever tasted. Sweet, warm, cinnamon-y? It was just delicious. Your next best chai experience is HERE, at dolce cafe, try it you won't regret it! The pistachio cookie was good, too. Only wish there was more of it! read more

150 percent recommend this place. Been there now three times and consistently good service and food. I won't mention any other names but the pastries are out of this world. Sure surprise, your wife, husband, friends with a box of these treats and they will kiss you! The prosciutto and cheese croissant as well as the strawberry fruit danish was dare I say some of the best I've eaten?!!! The owners are from Italy and you'll feel like you've stepped into Italy from the moment you order. So say bon journo and stop in and treat yourself sitting inside or out among the flowers and water feature. Can't say enough good stuff about this place! read more

As soon as you walk into this quaint cafe, you'll notice an abundance of natural light, smiles on guests faces and a delicious display of assorted pastries front and center. Do yourself a favor and order a cappuccino while you take your time looking through the assorted pastries available within the display, or looking through the cafe menu items like quiches, sandwiches and much more. I ordered a turkey and tomato sandwich on Focaccia, as well as a cup of the goulash soup. It was all fantastic, especially when I dipped the sandwich into the soup. So good! Don't forget the Italian Soda Bio Sicilia or glass of wine to go with. Service is phenomenal. This is a family business with mom working hard to produce your favorite culinary items, while her daughter handles everything mom isn't. The staff seems to truly care about the family and the business as a whole, giving a great standard of care to all who step into the cafe. read more

Apparently I have two accounts because I already posted on my experience. But I'll add this- after dinner, before leaving I asked Claudio for a white wine recommendation for steak as we were creating a special birthday celebration for my DIL and she prefers white wine. Never, ever, in a million years would I have known what white wine to serve with a marinated steak. He recommended a buttery white from Slovenia. His recommendation was spot on! It was incredible and went perfectly with our meal. read more

Ambiance and very friendly owners. Food really looks good and the price are pretty reasonable.

Definitely worth going to. We walked in late and we were still taken care of. Customers often get turned away, so we were extremely grateful to be met with hospitality and free cookies. Everything tasted sweetly homemade and light. Perfect after an afternoon walk. read more

This is a small building with lots of pastries . I ordered this berry cheesecake type of thing It was frozen I didn't know if I was supposed defrost then eat . Very confusing flavors . But I rate this a 4 because the turkey sandwhich with croissant bread was sooo gooddd and the sandwhich a was a good size . Worth the money . It did take a little while to get my food. read more

Wow! I'm in love this place is like a little slice of heaven. Absolute best mocha in town; such a simple drink, but so many places it's too sweet, too bitter, espresso tastes burnt etc. here, it's perfect! Just the right sweetness, smooth espresso, just amazing. The pastries we have tried are amazing. Flaky and delicious croissant (the jalapeño cream cheese one is my favorite!). Finally I was able to snag the salata ai fungi today and wow it's delicious. And to top everything off, the people here are so lovely. They are friendly, kind and provide great service. This location is small but very cozy and has a really nice courtyard. Overall, I will recommend this place to anyone and I will continue to enjoy visiting frequently! read more

Cute little gem of a cafe! Plenty of savory and sweet treat options! Service is excellent- they are welcoming, patient and helpful :) I've had their pinwheel which was delicious and their salata ai funghi and quiche were heavenly! Only been here twice but definitely will be stopping in more often, especially since my workout classes are right across the way read more

This place has the best cannoli's outside of Italy. I have been looking for a real Italian bakery and came across this place on Tic Tok.

8/31/2024- Ventured out with the visiting son, and landed here. Ten miles out of my area, but worth it to show him different areas of Reno. Busy Saturday.. Haven't been in this area (since the previous baker).. Impressed with the pastries of course.. Ordered three hot vanilla lattes..oatmilk.. (Kind of sad that soy milk wasn't an option).. Drinks were average and not very hot..(a must for me).. I'd come back for the pastries.. read more

Cute caffe for lunch today. Tables outside by a small water feature under umbrellas. We ate inside nice and cool! Very friendly cashier who took our order, bubbly personality. You order at the counter and food is brought to your table. They were very busy so had a wait but not too long. I ordered the Focaccia bread for my sandwich with tomato and turkey. Added Provolone for $1 but they were out so I subbed mozzarella. My friend ordered the chicken salad sandwich but they were out of croissants so she got the salad instead. It was just before noon when we arrived so disappointing they were out of some things already. Our orders came to our table and we were excited to try something new here. My sandwich bread was very fresh and soft but I didn't get the cheese I ordered on it. I checked the receipt and wasn't charged for it so I did without and enjoyed my sandwich still. After our lunch we had to take some pastries home and I was excited to see they had a small selection of gluten free! I got one of each, almond, almond with jam and a pistachio with chocolate. ( I ate them later that evening for dessert and for breakfast the next morning with coffee and they were excellent! Very fresh and not dry at all! ) We enjoyed our lunch and I will be back in for more pastries when in the area! read more

My husband and I love supporting and trying new coffee shops in town. We went yesterday for the first time. Drove 25 minutes and when we got there we were told they were no longer serving coffee since the coffee machine was cleaned already. We arrived 20 minutes before closing time, how does a coffee shop is going to decide to clean their machines early and not serve coffee. I even told the girl at the register that it was our first time there and she proceeded to tell me they could only do a cold brew. I was very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

A little pricey, but the food and pastries are delicious. The pancetta and Swiss roll is amazing and much larger than you might expect. My first time in they gave us a free cookie, which was melt in your mouth amazing. Nice little Cafe with a good patio space. read more

Surrounded by charming, high-quality restaurants in the little shopping area at the corner of Mayberry and McCarran, Dolce is a surprisingly sweet Italian baked goods and coffee shop that it turns out fits in perfectly in this lovely setting. Quaint and very clean, with ample indoor seating and cozy outdoor seating that belies its relatively small stature, the recessed entry ends up feeling like a little discovery every time you walk by. The few ladies we've met who staff the place are friendly and oriented around offering a comfortable and easy experience, and best of all, the quality of the freshly made cookies, croissants, cakes, and savory treats is exceptional. We've had the gluten-free pistachio cookie (chewy, nutty, and rich without being too sweet), two different types of croissants (plain and cream cheese with jalapeños), a chocolate-enrobed petit four that was a little bigger than the French style but equally delicious, and a few more excellent items--and we can't wait to try everything else. The options are plentiful but not overwhelming, all crafted with care, and that goes for the drinks as well. Highly recommended all around! read more

Authentic Italian caffe with all of the stops to my brunch-going delight! The main ingredient is that irreplaceable Italian love of food and life. Dolce has infused this in every pistachio cookie, Stracciata pastry, espresso beverage and more. Giuseppa & Hannah are an unstoppable mother daughter pair who truly care about creating an authentic and warm dining experience and providing a comfortable, quaint , family- friendly environment to relax and feel like you're in Italia. The incorporating of Italian flour was palpable, easy to digest and carefully blended other ingredients that stand on their own. My favorite pastry was the almond cookie- most of their cookies gluten free overall even though I partake in gluten, a sweet selection for those who don't. read more

I finally came back to Dolce Caffee and am updating my review to 5 stars! I made sure to come in the morning this time so I can have my pick from all of their delicious Italian pastries. They have both indoor and outdoor patio seating. They weren't too busy when I first arrived but they had a long line by the time I was leaving! I spent quite a while talking to the owners which are a mother, father, and their adult daughter; gotta love an Italian family-owned business! My family is also Italian, so I love what they've created here at Dolce Caffe. The father talked to me all about their time living in Sicily and how his wife is there currently. They even get all of their ingredients shipped in from Italy. I got to share some stories with him about when my husband lived in Rome and we spent a month exploring Italy together. I so appreciated the friendliness of the staff and how welcoming everyone was. I was torn between a few different options in their pastry case and they made sure to give me the run-down of some of their best sellers! I was mostly there for a pastry for myself but left with multiple things because I couldn't pass them up! I went with the Raviola for myself which is a sweet ravioli dessert, basically like a cannoli in terms of filling but in a soft flaky pastry instead of a hard shell. It was filled with ricotta and chocolate chips, then covered in powdered sugar. It was incredible! I was sad when it was gone, I easily could've eaten several of those. I got a fruit tart pastry to share with my husband later, it was filled with a delicious custard and had fresh blackberries on top. They even convinced me to get my husband a more savory item for lunch, he was out golfing at the time and they said "trust me, he's going to love it when he gets home." Sure enough, they were exactly right! I got him the Scacciata which had ham, mozzarella cheese, spinach, and red sauce on it. My husband said it reminded him so much of the deli shops he used to visit in Italy and it tasted excellent! They have lots of pastries to choose from but there's also a lunch menu with even more options. Plus they have drinks including coffee, tea, wine, beer, and a few Italian sodas and juices. I got a vanilla latte which paired well with my pastry. Service was fast, prices are affordable, and the staff go above and beyond in how they treat their customers. I am a big fan of this place and will definitely be back more in the future! read more

Just such a nice clean spot, great looking menu and incredible people. Fully onboard with doing my part to reward such simple kindness. read more

Quality/Quantity - Bear Claw - My breakfast. Generous size. It also has a good amount of chocolate inside the claw, see picture. It would have been nice if it was spreaded a little wider in the claw rather than most of it being on one side. Linzer Cookie - Not sure why my daughter only got one cookie...? And then she did not eat it unitl 4pm...? Chai Latte - My daughter's feedback - Sweet tea with oat milk; it could have been a stronger Chai. Also available - 4 course dinners, maximum 12 people. Might have to give this a try. Holiday menu, cookie trays, pies, etc. Atmosphere - Nice small local family owned Italian cafe. Cool decor. Indoor and outdoor seating, currently too cold for outdoor seating. Plenty of mall parking. Open 6 days a week from 7am to 3pm, 4pm or 5pm; closed Monday. See picture. Catering and events available. Service - Good. Price - $12.50 cash price. 3% credit card charge, see picture. Holiday orders have to be prepaid. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success (I think 1.5 years now), I will also have to come back to try all your Italian items, especially since Italy is one of our favorite countries. read more

Wow wow wow!! The people who work here are absolutely wonderful and you can tell really like each other and being at work. The energy in this shop this morning was absolutely incredible. They were talking amongst themselves and working and it just made me smile that everyone was just having such a good time so early in the morning. Ok, now onto the food and drinks. The iced latte I had was so delicious and they have that good nugget ice, IYKYK. The ham and cheese croissant was HUGE and to die for. I also had some sort of cookie dipped in chocolate and it was delicious. Everything here is made with love and precision and I truly had such a wonderful experience. HIGHLY recommend!! read more
