    Interesting cafe. We were searching for some gelato in Michigan since we have been craving it since we had some of the best on our summer vacation. We happened upon this place while we were on this side of town. It was pretty good. I got some sort of chocolate- hazelnut scoop with fudge, rice crispies, and vanilla cake. I enjoyed it. Since gelato tends to be a very small serving at a pretty large price, the double was small but not too small, and pricey but not too pricey. Overall it was a good experience. They had some interesting looking cakes and an espresso machine. Guests were ordering a lot of espresso that looked pretty good.

    Looking for some ice cream on this side of town, and found gelato. We hadn't had good gelato in a LLLONNNGGG time. Since the reviews were reasonable and the business was unclaimed on Yelp, then it could be legit, right? Interestingly, the ratio of men to women upon arrival was 4:1. Seems like guys enjoy drinking their espresso and kibitzing with their buddies. So obviously they also serve espresso drinks, along with other desserts, including small fruit tarts, cake, cookies, brownies, eclairs, cannolis, etc. Open space, lots of small tables inside and larger outside, comfortable temperature, bright. There was only one person working, it seemed. She was nice. Unfortunately, the tables were not wiped down, since we saw crumbs and dried up gelato on our table. But has anyone been to an ice cream shop and tables were always immaculate? Message me if you do. But, back to the gelato... At first blush, seeing that the gelato wasn't neon colors, rather muted pale, then it may be authentic. And it was. We tried chocolate, hazelnut, hazelnut-cake-whipped cream thing, and banana. Hazelnut was my favorite. Smooth, cool, and delicious. Disappointingly, the banana flavor tasted like Lafffy Taffy banana. A single scoop is 3.99; doubles 4.99. There were more size options. Overall, good gelato but cleanliness and atmosphere was ok. I recommend to take your's to go, and enjoy at a park.

    I was planning to go to dairy queen right across from Wise Guy's Bar at first but i found this place after a lil bit of research and decided to try it instead. Very nice place with many tables to sit and theres a patio outside. Theres many flavors to choose from the gelatos and best part is you can try and free sample on all of them. They even sell cakes and other italian pasteries. Im a hazelnut guy so i had to get a scoop of hazelnut and it was really good. Dolce Gelato Cafe is a fantastic place to indulge yourself with homemade natural ingredients ice cream while sipping a cup of joe. I'll definitely be back to try all of their flavors!

    Heavenly desserts, amazing gelato, and great coffee. What more can you ask for? Oh yeah, cute little umbrella tables in front to sit and enjoy your treats! And the staff here is very friendly and helpful. This is a hidden gem in Clinton Township for sure.

    First time trying the toasted marshmallow. So delicious! I love this place

    I liked that we were able to get samples. I also liked how the gelato tasted. We also got a price of the cake and that was good as well.

    I tried a couple of options including the strawberry crunch cheesecake, cinnamon roll cheesecake,…read moreand the banana pudding cheesecake cup. Both of the cheesecake slices were good, and I can't pick a favorite. The cinnamon roll actually had prices of cinnamon roll in the cheesecake and the crust tasted like a snickerdoodle. The strawberry crunch was good and tasted like the strawberry short cake ice cream bars. The menu appears smaller than what other people have posted in the past. They didn't have anything pistachio or Dubai chocolate. They didn't have the cones. They did have cheesecake dips, but they don't serve them with something to dip into them. They suggested graham crackers for dipping. The banana pudding cup was my least favorite. Because the graham cracker crust wasn't baked, it tasted overwhelmingly of butter instead of banana. The slices are delicious and rich, but also $8. This may be standard for cheesecake. I see myself going back, but not often.

It was so good I forgot to take a picture until it was halfway gone The flavor is SPOT ON! I will definitely be stopping in anytime they put it on the menu The banana pudding cup was delicious as well! It wasn't overly banana tasting which I was happy about. The lemon raspberry was soooo tasty! Like the banana, lemon can be a strong flavor & it was the perfect amount. 100000% worth stopping in & love getting to support a local small business

I was a bit disappointed they did not offer the assortment of plated sugar free cookies--not sure if they sold out or not longer offer them (it's a great option for diabetic friends). The confection selection arrived to its destination and was a great dessert option. The cassata cake and tiramisu were delicious. My daughter happily consumed her dot cake. The gluten free cookies were soft with a strong almond flavor and shaped like lady fingers. Hosts enjoyed cannolis and were gifted the remainder to enjoy later. Staff was attentive and accommodating. The interior is no frills and serves its purpose. There were several cases (not pictured) filled with yummy baked goodness, Italian wedding soup, pizza, muffuletta, breads, etc. Sadly, missed out on muffuletta (a great lunch/snack option), but maybe next time...

From the moment the phone was answered, I could immediately tell the employee was annoyed and had no interest in helping me. Her responses were short and rude things like "yup" and "what do you want?"and the entire interaction felt incredibly unprofessional. I was simply trying to place an order and give this business my money, yet I was made to feel like I was bothering her just by calling. The attitude became so frustrating that I ultimately ended the call rather than continue the conversation. Customer service matters, especially when someone is calling specifically because they want to support your business. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

I'm not sure if they do the syringes here, I was too excited to think of all the toppings and it being a new place and conjoined with a different place, it's confusing with the menu.
