    Coconut and ube
    Kim N.

    Cute place situated in downtown Burien. I was craving sweet treat after my 12 mile run so I looked up for an ice cream place near me and found this place! The inside is very cozy and had a lot of seating! I was able to try different flavors and all of them looked so good... so I had a hard time picking. The coconut and ube is so good! It was so refreshing and creamy. Definitely will come back to try their other flavors

    Cute little gelato shop in the Burien area with a patio in the back. I stopped by on a summer weekend evening. Foot traffic was a little slow on this side of 152nd. The shop had a decent selection of items and the worker was happy to answer any questions or provide samples. She informed me of the popular flavors and recommendations which were very helpful. I was so intrigued by the Filipino-inspired gelatos such as champurrado, rice, and calamansi basil. I *loved* calamansi basil and would highly recommend that flavor. I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area.

    Rice gelato and coffee & Amaretto.
    Nami N.

    Loved the Rice Gelato! I visited this gelato shop with my husband and we had a great experience. I chose the rice gelato, and he went with coffee and amaretto. All the flavors were delicious, but we especially loved the rice gelato -- it was subtly sweet, creamy, and really unique! One thing we really appreciated was being able to try samples before ordering. It made it easy to choose the flavors we really liked without any guesswork. The shop itself has a cozy and stylish atmosphere, with cute little touches like the flower vase by the window. We had a relaxing time and would definitely come back again! It's the kind of place you want to linger in, enjoy your gelato slowly, and maybe snap a photo or two. Highly recommend for anyone in the mood for authentic, flavorful gelato with a lovely atmosphere to match!

    Pistachio and fig
    Kathy N.

    I really liked this place! It's small but service was amazing. The worker let us try multiple samples including the basil calamansi and even let us know of flavors they had in the back. Each flavor we tried was super flavorful and tasted very natural. We settled on pistachio and fig, and also got a small chocolate later. The pistachio tasted like it was full of pistachio butter and the fig flavor had real figs. The chocolate flavor was not too sweet and the cocoa powder really shone through. Definitely would come back and try more. I almost didn't want to leave.

    Guava Ice Cream Mix
    Arielle G.

    Such a cute small shop & a hidden gem that was recently discovered! A small Filipino-owned gelato business with flavors like Calamansi Basil and Guava was refreshing and unique to see. As a Filipino American, I was excited to see these types of flavors. The gelato itself was really creamy, soft, and rich. The people here were kind and I was able to sample two flavors max when I went. I wish this was located closer to me in Renton - I'd come here way more often. Overall, I enjoyed trying this place out and will come back again if around the area!

    Stumbled across this cute little gelato spot in Burien & tried pandan & calamansi basil gelato with the Dubai chocolate strawberries. Wow, just wow. The calamansi basil was the standout: bright, citrusy, and totally unique. Pandan was creamy and paired perfectly with the crunchy, rich, chocolaty strawberries. Will definitely be back!

    Ube
    Jennifer S.

    The gelato here is delicious! Their flavors rotate and they have unique flavors. We got the ube and chocolate. I think sometimes the texture of the gelato can be a hit or miss. The chocolate gelato was SUPREMELY creamy, smooth, not icey at all, and very chocolatey. It's one of the best gelato texture I've had. The ube was also delicious but there were some ice crystals. I still enjoyed it! Their other flavors included calamansi basil which was nice and citrusy. And 2 sorbet options as well. The workers there are super nice too!

    Pistachio and chocolate
    Rumi C.

    Dolce diletto is a tiny and fantastic gem in burien. Small space with not huge tables but it's cozy and good for post-dinner dessert. The gelato is deliciously creamy and smooth. Pistachio is so nutty and hits the spot. The chocolate is so rich and dark. A perfect combination.

    Lime Basil/Blueberry & Chocolate/cocoa krispies

    I'm super picky about gelato but I prefer it over ice cream any day. This is going to be my new go to. I literally could have licked the bowl clean. Service was perfect and it's a cute little place with a back patio.

    Mint chocolate chip and affogato
    Wennie H.

    Cute little shop, really clean, very friendly owner/worker. I was able to try a lot of the different flavors, they were all good- rich and creamy. I ended up getting the mint cookie because it was really cooling, especially on a hot day. Partner got an affogato with coffee ice cream, the ice cream was good, the espresso was not. Overall fun experience with yummy gelato.

    Italian hot chocolate
    Angela N.

    It's a cute small gelato place. I love the calamansi basil gelato and the Italian hot chocolate. There was only one person who was serving where we had to wait for over 20 minutes due to 3 families in front of us.

    Pumpkin spice and Hazelnut gelato.

    A Gelateria! Dolce Diletto Gelateria! These are not the most frequent type of frozen treat place in the Seattle area, so I got to adventure to Burien/South Seattle to try this store out. It has been a recent, past few years, trend in my life that people I know/friends go to Italy and make it look good, meanwhile, I am sitting at my computer going... maybe I should just try to find some good gelato. So I finally decided to check a place out and went with Dolce Diletto. The Gelateria owner/worker when I visited yesterday, Wednesday 23 November 2022, was warm and in good spirits. Decor was festive for the holiday season, the store warmer than the outside, and music was playing. After looking over the flavors I went with the pumpkin spice and hazelnut flavors, getting a small bowl to take back to my car to eat. While I have not been to Italy, I have had gelato before, and this by far is the best gelato I have had. It melted a little faster than American ice cream and had a smoother consistency. Spices in the pumpkin spice really shined without a loss of the pumpkin flavor, a balance I had not encountered before. The hazelnut was probably the best hazelnut-flavored product I have had (gelato or otherwise). Both were instant favorites. All around a great experience.

    Pistachio & hazelnut on the left and passionfruit & strawberry on the right. Absolutely delicious!
    Peg C.

    Dolce Diletto is the best gelato and sorbetto in King County, hands down. We drive all the way from Ballard, Seattle to have their super delicious creations. Very flavorful, soft and fluffy and dense all at the same time, and friendly service. So good!!!

    My favorite bakery in the most dangerous location in Burien…read more Not dangerous because of crime. Dangerous because it's directly across the street from my gym. Nothing says "great workout" quite like immediately replacing every calorie you just burned with one of Bakery Nouveau's twice-baked chocolate croissants. I prefer to think of it as strategic carbohydrate replenishment. Everything here is exceptional. The pastries are buttery, flaky, and somehow manage to ruin every grocery store croissant for the rest of your life. The coffee is excellent, the staff is consistently friendly, and it's one of those places where it's impossible to leave with only the one thing you came in for. The neighborhood feels safe, parking is plentiful, and the only real hazard is convincing yourself you deserve "just one more pastry." Five stars. My spin instructor may disagree. Bakery Nouveau is worth every extra minute on the bike.

    The service here is always top notch. Every employee I've spoken to is friendly and knowledgeable…read more The coffee is also delicious. I love that they make their own chocolate but I have yet to try it as I can't justify spending that much money on a chocolate bar. My favorite item is the twice baked almond croissant. The chocolate is delicious as well. They've gotten much better (in Burien, at least) at dialing in the perfect toast and not over doing it to make it a bit dry and bitter. I'm already planning my trip to pick up some more croissants!

About a minute after getting my drink, I took a sip and was surprised that it was cold--not even lukewarm, but actually cold. I didn't go back to ask for a remake because there were several people in line behind me and I didn't want to wait. Instead, I ended up microwaving it when I got back to my Airbnb. The latte itself was decent and had a strong espresso flavor, but the mocha syrup was way too sweet for my taste. I think it would have been much better if it had been about half as sweet. The price was also pretty high for a 12 oz latte. The customer service was disappointing. The young woman who helped me came across as rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. That's especially unfortunate for a business located in the middle of a major tourist area. As for the drink, I'm not sure how a hot latte ends up being served cold, but it definitely shouldn't happen. I also sampled the tiramisu gelato, which was overly sweet and didn't taste very authentic. Overall, I regret spending the time, money, and calories here. There are too many great coffee shops in Seattle to settle for an experience like this.

Fidel Cash Flow: A rich and savory combination of braised pork belly, sliced ham, swiss cheese, dill pickle chips, fresh cilantro, plain mayo, and a spicy brown mustard on a telera roll (4/5). Served with your choice of sides (hand cut fries, waffle fries, chipotle mac salad, & jalapeño slaw). The sandwich size was a bit smaller than expected but it did come with a side. The bread was so soft and good. I also wish it had a bit more meat to enjoy. Otherwise, still a good tasting sandwich. Come support your local business.

The brownie was warm, the saltiness of the whipped cream was astounding, and the ice cream and toppings made it the best ice cream adjacent-item I've had.

How do you mess that up. The whipped cream had no salt, and tasted actively bad. I tried to avoid it as much as possible. The only semi-decent parts were the confetti cake crumbles (think of better names for your toppings, by the way) and the scout mint brownie ice cream (this actually was good). Also, it's over 10 dollars. Overall, don't try to recreate experiences when you know the quality isn't consistent. 5/10

The quality is clearly there and you can tell they care about ingredients and unique seasonal flavors. That said, the overall vibe and flavor offerings just are not really for me personally. It leans a bit too pretentious and overly hipster in a way that feels more focused on being curated and trendy than simply enjoyable. I can absolutely understand why many people love it and there's clearly a strong audience for what they do, but it just never fully connected with me. Sometimes it almost feels like one of those places people feel obligated to love because everyone else says they should. I wanted to be more blown away than I actually was. Still, the staff was friendly, the product itself is solid, and if you enjoy creative flavor combinations and that modern Seattle dessert culture vibe, this may easily become your favorite spot. Just personally not somewhere I find myself craving or going out of my way to revisit.

Unfortunately, the service was a bit odd, which seems to be a recurring theme in other reviews. While checking out, I asked why there was an extra $2 charge on the chicken pot pie. The cashier told me it was because the strawberry rhubarb pie had been warmed in their oven and that baked pies incur an additional $2 charge. The explanation didn't make much sense, but it was my first visit, so I assumed there was some policy I didn't understand. When I got home and looked at the menu, I realized the $2 charge had actually been applied to the chicken pot pie. From what I can tell, they charge an extra fee if they bake one of the refrigerated pot pies for you. Mine was frozen, came with at-home baking instructions, and was never baked in-store. I sent an email to the address listed on the receipt to let them know they might be charging customers incorrectly, but never received a response. The food was good, but the whole situation was strange.
